2008 -- wasn't that the year of the Great Blizzard? Or was that back in '05? I couldn't have been more'n 5 or 6. I remember we lost two of our finest horses in that storm, Bessie and Oater. These little snowstorms you young kids get these days, they're nothing. The whole county used to turn into one big icesheet from October to May, and we still had to walk to nursery school, slipping and sliding on the ice, up a steep hill in the morning, and back up another steep hill in the evening when we were done. Then we first had to start chopping the wood, mining the coal, egging the chickens, and tipping the cows and title closers. Nowadays what do kids have to do? Just send a few thousand text messages each day and play Wizards of Warcraft and link irrelevant and meaningless articles to discussion boards. Lazy, I say. And these tin pails they have now -- garbage. Back in the old days they new how to make things. We had oaken buckets, never rusted out. Tin pails! Buy now or be priced out forever, those tin pails.

There goes that fly by nite borker thinking itz all like 2007 and shitz.

Retailers will be allowed to have a 'cash' price and a card price. Flmao. Do you know how many banker's bonuses will shrink due to the overall oligopoly banking profit that is gonna shrink by that one little tidbit of legislation?

Smithers you've had no clue as to what was relevant to NYC re in 2007 and are even more clueless in 2010.

From CNBC's report on it: "Some 200,000 Wall Streeters lost their positions during the financial crisis, but 6,800 of those have come back, according to the latest data from the New York Department of Labor."

Could that be correct? Sounds like they are filling that hole with a spoon...
