    1. Probably he's proud of how he's accumulated so much identity info, too.

    2. Barnum used people's ID info?

  2. No doubt, Buck.

    I DO Fagbook. But, as big a sucker as I am, I'd never put a dime in to it.

    Gooble, on the other hand...

    Missed that one. Worth about 6 times what it was at the IPO (if memory serves). Good thing I didn't buy in on Gooble...they'd have been bankrupt by now, and you'd be searching for junk in a phone book. I swear, I could bankrupt Microsoft, or WalMart if I purchased shares tomorrow. Seriously, I AM THE KISS OF DEATH!!!

    As a teenager, I bought stock in American Motors with my earnings from mowing grass. I had to find a stock broker, and everything! I personally killed the Gremlin, Matador, Pacer, and The Hornet. It was ALL MY FAULT!

    1. My two IPO regrets: Google and Microsnot. My other regret: bein' HEAVY in tech when the dot-bomb bubble burst, i.e., watching HALF of my 401k disappear. You can survive that sorta thang when you're 30 or so (and I did, once upon a time in the '80s) but it REALLY hurts when you're pushin' 60.

      America thanks you, assuming you're the one who REALLY killed the Gremlin.

  3. I love playing on Facebook, but the IPOD thing smelled much too much like the dot.com bubble

Just be polite... that's all I ask.
