Brant Gaede Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 You got it, Adam...It's just another day in Paradise. Long ago we took the prudent measures necessary to protect ourselves both physically and economically from becoming collateral damage of the consequences of the stupidity of others.Elul29 is actually reckoned from sundown to sundown, so it's from sundown Sunday the 13th to sundown Monday the 14th.GregAs The World Turnsshake and bake?https://youtu.be/nLLEBAQLZ3Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Jack Benny asked, Well? Did you interpret the sacred texts incorrectly as all the other scammers have for thousands of years? Or is it the fact that sacred texts aren't evidence allowed in a civilized discourse?And Adam? Why are you harassing me? Harass Greg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Sellers almost played even another role in this film. I think he played three. My favorite character was the AF general Jack Ripper played by Sterling Hayden. George C. Scott was memorable all over his place. Remember when he was asked if he thought the B-52 would have a chance of getting through to its target? I once asked my uncle, who was a navigator on B-36s, if his B-36s out of Puerto Rico would have gotten through--similar reaction but without the theatrics.--Branthttps://youtu.be/UxLe8MWdWe0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Major T. J. "King" Kong, was the B-52 Stratofortress bomber's commander and pilot. What a great character. Dumb and countrified yet dedicated and true-blue. Like Greg. Greg, do I have to ask? Why were you, not the sacred texts, so wrong? No excuses? No reworking the cow patty? Not goin’ ta reset your sundial? Thanks for the sentimental video. luckily Adam (who played Colonel Batt Guano in the movie) was watching it descend. Kaboom!PeterMemories light the corners of my mindMisty water-colored memories of the way we wereScattered pictures of the smiles we left behindSmiles we gave to one another for the way we were.Can it be that it was all so simple thenOr has time rewritten every lineIf we had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would we, could weMemories may be beautiful and yetWhat's too painful to remember we simply choose to forgetSo it's the laughter we will rememberWhenever we remember the way we were.The way we were.Songwriters: HAMLISCH, MARVIN/BERGMAN, ALAN/BERGMAN, MARILYN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Apey's lame attempt at a face-saving out -- his lie -- is that his stupid predictions were just "fun entertainment value."But that's only because he failed. If anything negative at all had happened on the world economic stage, no matter how minor, Apey would be here today claiming victory and believing with all of his heart in the validity of his magical powers of divination rather than lying that it was all just fun entertainment value.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

william.scherk Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Here's the BOLD prediction that caught my eye lo these many months ago ...Predict an arrival time to within the year and month.... Then we will see how good a prognosticator you are....Sure, Bob. Biggest stock market collapse, September 17th, 2001 Biggest stock market collapse, September 29th, 2008Biggest stock market collapse, September 13th, 2015.What do these three ALL share in common.They are ALL the 29th of Elul, the last day of a seventh Sabbath Year on the Jewish calendar I've already stated this more than once... but I'm not the predictor. Someone else is. I only believe he's right because of the spiritual BOND between America and Israel.[...] On 911, America lost God's protection just as Israel did thousands of years ago... and like clockwork each succeeding shockwave has been Shaking America right down to its foundations. Blah blah blah Jonathan Cahn. Blah. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah. -- that is about the sum total of the sense Greg has made in this thread, and in others where he peddled Cahn's moral/economic astrology whoopee. With a whimper, not a bang, OL's lone Christophile hoogie-boogie man sees out the Shemita Year. All hail hoogie-boogie gone down in zany irrationality. Long live America free of moralistic claptrap. May Greg someday find a church more friendly to his mystical flim-flam than are OL congregants.

Greg lives and works in a society whose economy is tied into the stock market. He buys goods that others make. The value of his money (or barter) is just as affected as ours. His cost of PVC, and whatever else he uses in his experimenting with his poop, goes up and down just as it does for everyone else who depends on society to manufacture goods that they, like Greg, can't produce themselves.Greg is pretending to be independent. He's playing at being doomsday prepper and apocalypse survivor, all the while depending (for all of his prepper supplies) upon the society that he claims to condemn.J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wall Street traders are only 3% survivors after several years if not sooner and still at risk. Investing in equities is another kettle of fish, but you have to know the difference clearly or you're at danger of being sucked into the other side. That kind of "investor" buys when prices are high and sells when they are low.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
