strategy 4 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 my favorite "in this economy" quote was the suited black man in the popeyes drive thru explaining that running out of chicken during a sale was inexcusable given these economic conditions. Link to post Share on other sites

mk 11 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 obligatory comment to zim about cars being possibly the worst thing on which to spend money. please do me a favor and get something pre-driven and save yourself the 10-20% instantly by forgoing the "OMGZ NEW" premium. you'll be paying cash obviously so the difference in financing won't matter at all.you know what i'd do if i were you though:i would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and give the rest of it to my friend asadulah, who works in securities...

speedz99 145 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My internal monologue after clicking on that link:Ah, it's the popeye's video he was talking about. Hey, that guy's not wearing a suit, unless you count the canadian tuxedo as a suit. He didn't even say "in this economy", he said "in this day and age". Strat was way off on this one. And then I violently burst out laughing when the guy you were talking about came on the screen. The suit, the smile, the widening eyes and slight lean forward, the "in this economy"...it was perfect. He was just so damn excited to talk about how upset he was. Well done, sir. Sending us to the guy before instead of the one you were referring to was genius. Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 huh you don't saymy sister just graduated from William and Mary with a degree in "American Studies".

I told her to minor in something like German philosophy just to make it all sound more hilarious.you would have to ask my wife what my sister gets up to socially. I am informed on a need to know basis. I met her last boyfriend in Vegas last MLK weekend. Complete tool. College dropout/working in a sandwich shop (I kept asking her if he was a sandwich "artist"). Naturally, he stiffed me on every bill of importance (Cirque-Love tickets, nice dinners, hotel room, etc). Can you beat those traits? That is the baseline apparently.

Sal Paradise 57 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 well I actually graduated college, but I'm sure he's more successful than me (you know, with the whole "managing to get a girlfriend" thing as a heavy indicator). but yeah, I can be worse than those traits.you did mean beat as in be worse than, right? cause I am. quite a bit.

speedz99 145 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So I've technically only gone on two dates with this girl, and tonight on the phone she asked me if I could give her a ride to the airport on August 11. I'm so proud of myself...I avoided the obligatory awkward, "Do you think it's a bit early for that?" I'm turning over a new leaf here, bitches. Someone give me a mig-to-high five.

timwakefield 68 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 "We completely understand the public's concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission," said Harry Schoell, CEO of Cyclone Power Technologies. "We are focused on demonstrating that our engines can create usable, green power from plentiful, renewable plant matter."That is a real quote.IT'S FUCKING STARTING. I mean like, how is that not a line from the new Terminator or whatever, and then we flash forward 40 years and the robots are fucking feeding on the human population. Like, could he be any more ominous? 'I swear guys, the last thing these robots would ever do is rise up against humanity and fuel themselves with our tears. In fact, it's so unlikely that we don't think about it or prepare for it. Sleep tight!' Link to post Share on other sites
