Missing Out

If I had a dime for every time I missed out on a dancer because quit, I'd have enough money to do pretty much whatever I want.

Back in the late 1980s I did a job for a small start-up company. The little company was pressed for cash and the principal of the little company offered to pay me with stock in his company (I would have been a 4% owner of the little company if I had taken the stock in payment). The principal of this company was a smarmy lawyer who had had some difficulties with the Alberta Securities Commission over his stock market machinations in the past. I insisted on cash and I was paid in full within 120 days.

That 'little' company now has a stock market capitalization of $50,000,000,000.

Do you know what 4% of $50,000,000,000 is?

I have done mighty fine for myself during my oil patch career but NOT $2,000,000,000 worth.

Slick, The Josh Beckett no-hitter was in Philadelphia, May 2th. You have a friend there who offered you a ticket?

Mother fucker Art, I would lose sleep about that every night...

Gotta strike while the iron is hot. I went back to my local club today looking for a dancer that I missed out with last time,and she wasn't there. I'm in your boat slick...

That should have been "May 26th."

I have missed out too many times to even remember. And I'm talking about civilians more than strippers. Makes me sick to think of the times that I drank too much and couldn't get it up. I don't drink anymore. :)

Beckett's no hitter - finally, someone figured out how to fix the Dodger's bullpen!

+1 to gawker! How bad are League and Wilson?..geez
