feb 14?

if there was ever a fitting time to say I DON'T GIVE A SHIT, it's today. last summer's dental adventures and my more recent intestinal odyssey have taken the joy out of half priced candy on feb 15. maybe i'll buy myself a nice bag of fish later.

i don't know if i'm happy or worried about CHINESE BANKS BAD LOAN RATE INCREASES FOR 9TH STRAIGHT QUARTER. on the one hand it's nice to see china have a few problems but on the other hand an economic slow down in china would wreak havoc in the capital markets and that would cost everyone more than a few kopeks. of course the million dollar question is how accurate are these chinese statistics? i suspect the bad loan rate is considerably higher than the 1% reported.

i just deleted a long epistle on the economy that was going to be my valentine's day present to you sons of bitches whom (or should it be who?) i love so much but i'm going to give you something better, nothing. there's no better way to lose money than to listen to some idiot salesman masquerading as an analyst.

don't forget, you've got 3 business days to settle your accounts.

i love you sons of bitches and i also love my teeth so fucking much that i'm going to skip the candy sales tomorrow.

Well, China has its own currency, so it can bail out its banks by creating new money like the US and UK did. What kind of fish can you get by the bag full? If it's 'Bombay Duck' I'm visiting Canada!

sativa or indica fish.

you take sally
i'll take sue
there ain't no difference between the two.

I can't believe you are not going to be buying candy on the Feb. 15. I'm shocked, BP. China is probably blaming their problems on Obamacare. Have a good one, buddy.

I don't give a fuck about banks or bank rates but I'm going to look for half priced candy for Helen tomorrow.

billy pilgrim said...

mr shife - i might be a slow learner but 5 cavities, 1 crown and a colonoscopy have convinced me that half price candy can be an expensive proposition.

bill - bank rates make the world go round!

BBC said...

Maybe bank rates make the world go around but they don't need a shove from me.

I just made a real haul on half priced chocolate, lot's of it on sale, maybe some of the ruby lipped cocksuckers with attitudes didn't make out so well this year.

NFS!!!
Yours truly saw the holiday in with much chocolate & alcohol consumption, followed by a leisurely 8 hour nap since this is a working holiday.
Had it fallen on a Saturday, maybe I would have checked out the fresh & low-hanging fruit at the hotel lobby bars, but not on a work night.

TheWayfarer said...

Chinese bank problems, eh?
Hope you ain't got money in 'em, that could be a clusterfuck: Galt's buddy in the Philippines trusts China banks as far as he can sling a piano!
Still, would be great to hit the Powerball & buy out debt on a limited basis. I ain't no banker, but with $200M you could make a shitload buying little bad debts @ 10%down & flexible payments, with interest based on Chosen Schedule.

They know how to have fun in Fremont.

As soon as I read this post I sold all my candy stocks.

My broker, E.F. Nuttin, said it was a good move.

billy pilgrim said...

galt - if you hit it big, buy gold and bury it in the backyard.

tex - when e.f. nuttin talks, do people still listen? i wouldn't be in a rush to sell those candy shares, there were thousands of babies born today to fill the void of my reformation.

BBC said...

I bought enough chocolate yesterday to last four months, they'll make more and I'll get more at half price after easter.

Billy, it appears that at least you're aware of the importance of the Chinese people, and the influence of their Yen on the international stock-exchange, my friend. However, will you be able to face and accept that China will soon become the most wealthy and influential nation on this planet, mate? Thank God for communism, and long live Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels. The Communist Manifesto was propably one of the finest manifestos written to-date, Billy, and you know it! Sadly, you're afraid to 'come out of the closet' and admit it, though, aren't you? :-P

As an aside, have you ever seen a cat within two blocks of a chinese restaurant? :-P

To You & Yours, I Wish You a Happy & Peaceful 'Starry' Night!

Take Care & Stay Lucky!

Peace,

Che...

No, only pussies I've seen within two blocks of one is hookers offering fifty dollar blowjobs.

billy pilgrim said...

capitalism has been good to me so i'll give the communist manifesto a pass.

In either system you can trade half price chocolate for a blow job.

BBC - "In either system you can trade half price chocolate for a blow job."

I wasn't aware of that, just bought my candy stocks back.
