Sound Financial Advice From My Inbox

Some interesting facts and figures emailed to me by a friend:

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you will have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you will have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

Thanks Skank for emailing that to me.

The Most Important Petition You Have Ever Been Asked To Sign

Did you know that St. Patrick’s Day is not an official holiday? Well the forward thinking folks at Guinness are working hard to change that. Proposition 3-17 will establish everyone’s favorite drinking day as an official holiday but they need our help. In order to present the petition to Congress, Guinness needs 1 million signatures by midnight on March 16th. So let’s help them out. Sign the petition online or text “SIGN” to 65579.

If we all work together, we can make sure that banks and the post office will be closed on March 17.

Super Happy Terrific Products


Judging by the picture this Mac-Tap is just a trade show gimmick but it’s still nice to dream. I guess if you are handy and have an old Mac, you could make one of these yourself but that sounds like an awful lot of trouble for something you are going to quickly have to dispose of.

Blog Writers Of The World Unite And Take Over

Most people assume that the life of a blogger is a glamorous existence of premiers, parties and beautiful people. And you know what? Its true! Last night at my first Blogger Summit (that just sounds so much better than happy hour, plus now I’m sure I can use my bar tab as a tax deduction) I got to put faces to my favorite blogs. I then proceeded to drink so much that I forgot what those faces look like. So Midwesterner, you can keep writing “This Is Not Me” and I will be just as duped as everyone who has never actually seen you.

I’d like to say the following to everyone who was there last night:

I hope you had as much fun as I did.

When are we doing it again?

What was the deal with the waitresses shushing us?

If I said anything to offend you in the hour leading up to my departure you can rest assured that I don’t remember saying it and lets just leave it at that.

You Rock!

There are a bunch of expressions that I intensely dislike hearing and go out of my way to avoid saying. A few examples are “I’m loving it”, “Now that’s what I’m talking about!”, and any expression that uses the word “bling”. It’s pretty hard to watch Reality TV without hearing one or all of these expressions repeatedly.

Another expression that doesn’t bother me quite as much but I still choose not to use it is “Party like rockstars!” So it pains me a little to admit, that’s the expression that can best sum up our weekend trip to PA.

I don’t mean to imply that we lit a whisky soaked hotel room on fire, beat up a shark or snorted someone’s dad. But, from the time we arrived at Bessie’s house Friday night until leaving yesterday afternoon, somebody was playing the game, Guitar Hero 2.

If you’ve never played I highly recommend that you start. This game is just as much fun to watch someone else play as it is to play yourself. And while drinking isn’t required, the more booze you add to the mix, the better the performances become for the audience. Now that’s what I’m talking about!
