Your Average TUSCLer...

A few more:

Only votes Libertarian or Donald Trump if the Libertarian candidate is not viable (i.e. 100% of the time).

Favorite author at age 14 was Ayn Rand. Favorite author now: Still Ayn Rand.

Investments besides short treasuries: Only gold and bitcoin. Is posed to make a ton of money when the stock market bubble finally bursts. Which is inevitable because the US government does not follow his preferred politics.

Occupation: Traveling IT consultant.

Has a room in his moms basement where he only eats gravy and posts long screeds about nothing at all. Or has a room in his moms attic where he tries to get girls to come after school and help him with his geometry homework.

Wow Dougster attempting humor. I like it although I suspect it'll never last. I'll try to add some after I finish shorting my treasuries.

Dougster, just remember this:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

Aces!

On the other hand, the guy who said that also wrote Catwoman. No word on whether he shorted treasuries. ;)

Average TUSCLer: drives a modest car with at least 250,000 miles. Think of how many lap dances you could buy for the price of a new car? Changes the oil every (at most) every 5,000 miles and use synthetic only.

Average age: late 50s to early 60s. Does not find women his age* (*actually any over 32) attractive. Also finds it hard to meet women who have the appreciation for Ayn Rand and Libertarianism that he does.

What's a DS?

Damn funny

DS = dream stripper

The one book that everyone needs to not only read, but to understand is 1984.

"Has a job that requires him to travel alot"

I would say that for sure would be the average TUSCLer from what I've seen on here.

I have stripped club since I was 17 (42 years) and my lifetime business travel is 0.

Where's the category for recovering stamp collectors?

What about "knows buying lap dances is a chumps game."

" Lines up at the club before it opens, so he'll be able to kiss the extras girls before they are able to suck other customers dicks."

LMFAO

I think Dougster nailed it. Obviously strip clubs and TUSCL are good for people who travel. Being able to control where one is at provides a circuit breaker on the relationships. He makes his women into mistresses, not hookers.

And of course a smart TUSCLer knows that buying dances is a chump's game.

But I also think Dougster is elaborating on the persona of Rick Dugan here.

Untaxed money for hotel rooms. What I've been asking, has anyone put one of their women on the company payroll, or otherwise got it so that she is getting paid out of pretax money? I think it is possible, and legal unless someone really tries to scrutinize it. But I do not actually know this and would not try it without professional guidance.

Dougster is not this idealized TUSCLer, and he could not be, because at core Dougster is an evil man.

Actually in my short time here Dougster is pretty spot on.....with the exception I don't short treasuries......I short Green Energy companies propped up by the previous administration that are more red due to their bottom line than any other color.......confirming my Libertarian beliefs as well.

Libertarian politics shores up property rights. But living in our society depends on far more than property rights.

I was thinking I'm not average. I thought I didn't travel much either but I remember talking to a dancer one time about having to fly back to Wisconsin and she had never flown anywhere in her life. I was actually a bit surprised. Most of the people I know have traveled all over the place. It seems weird to find someone who has never flown anywhere but another dancer overheard and said she had never flown before either. Knocking on wood, I don't want to do a lot of traveling, especially overseas.

FYI, I didn't get interested in strip clubs because of travel. However it was a boss at work that talked me into first going. So in a way, it was work that drove me to strip clubs. Fast forward several years and several large companies don't even allow you to eat at Hooters because it's considered too sexual to have waitresses wearing shorts or someone in corporate had an issue.

I wouldn't think about shorting the market until SP500 goes past 2500 or it's getting close to quantitative multi billion dollar tapering announced dates, after the fed raises rates another couple times. Probably towards next year. Elections aren't until 2018.

@Dougster if you didn't secretly had your hate/love relationship with Windows you wouldn't have said command prompt. *nix users call it shell or terminal :)

I said "The UNIX shell itself is the best [development environment] for technical person (software engineer or scientist)." tuscl.net

I've often thought Dougster must not be a technical person. He probably performs some other role.

Are you a technical person, Dominic? "Software engineer or scientist"? Or just really old?

I know dougster is being factitious but you guys tend to always fucking travel for your job. Lol what's the deal with so many of you guys and travel jobs? Are you guys secretly truckers trying to sound cooler than you are? It's ok to be a trucker. Everyone here is still a PL by the end of the day
