Tribunus Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The Monkeys……… Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klinger Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Its the same here Merdog. I don't ever remember construction projects being mothballed. I hope some of that money starts filtering through to homebuyers soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Gentlemen, In my humble opinion, the heart of the real economic problem in the U.S., is that the average worker has not gotten pay increases that have kept up with the REAL inflation (not the screwy inflation figures the government uses) for nearly 20 years. Pay raises have simply not kept up with real inflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer57 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah, i'll spare you how my hrs have been cut in half and photography is not in demand at all. Don't forget the billions that will no doubt go to bail out the auto makers' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 It's on everyones mind, Mate. The vast majority of us are middle class working men, and we are to a man feeling the pinch. I for one appreciate your insight, the monkey story is, while being hyper simplified, quite on target. The root cause of this mess is greed, and the rest of us (myself included) buying into the system that feeds it. Contrary to popular belief Jesus did not say that Money is the root of all Evil. He said "The loveof money is the root of all kinds of evil. I know that we have had trouble talking about such subjects in the past, but I can't imagine why we should. I've found that this group is comprised of surprisingly passionate people of quite high intelligence, and as that combination is impossibly hard to find "out there". I'd really like to be able to discuss more that aircraft and tits here. That being said, aircraft and tits at least get our minds off the rest of the crap. :tomcat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 22, 2008 2. Administrators Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yep, I find Jack Daniels and AC/DC at unfeasibly loud volume levels seem to help with the blotting out too.

Tribunus Posted November 24, 2008 Author Share Posted November 24, 2008 Jabo, mate, it's high time you learned to live a little. Try Johnnie Walker Black Label and Dead Can Dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jediteo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I thought that Johnnie walker black was BG's drink of choice. Well certainly it is mine, along with quite dry martini (with a slight splash of whisky to make it a smoky). Both go well with Ac/Dc I may add (slight culture collision perhaps, but that's me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Jabo is partially correct. Johnnie Walker doesn't stay around long in my house. slurp, slurp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribunus Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Johnnie Walker Black was Winston Churchill's libation of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I do enjoy a good single malt at special times but as a regular libation I think they are a bit expensive. No JW is my staple scotch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 $9.00 (for the whole bottle) Bourbon for me, Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 25, 2008 2. Administrators Share Posted November 25, 2008 Surprisingly enough Tribunus, I was aware that Churchill was fond of JW, although I wasn't sure about Jim, but you are missing one salient point... I don't like Scotch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
