Ironic Spam

One of the latest waves of spam has been “Penny Stocks”

These are spams for small companies that are traded on markets. The only problem is that the Markets that you’ve heard of… “Dow Jones, Nasdaq, AMEX, etc” won’t touch them because they are (if you’ll forgive me) small change.

Pretty much any stock trading under $1.50 per share is just too damned volatile to consider.

One of my Penny Stock Spams was for a company that specializes in new technology.

their tech?
…a leader in the fight against email based viruses, spam, and outbound threats of corporate espionage….

Trading at $0.11 per share on August 2 they haven’t actually traded any shares since.

Oh, I have to post…

I really am happy I’m on weirdjews. I don’t participate in the forum but I learn a lot.

At this year’s Easter Bonnet Competition there was a collaborative performance by the casts of Fiddler on the Roof and Avenue Q. The result was a satire called Avenue Jew. For those who are extreme Q-vians (with all due respect to the good Doctor), the Q cast members included the current Broadway stars as well as Lyon and Tartaglia.

The script and article of the satire can be found in a recent online article in Playbill. It is stunningly written. And phenomenally funny to watch. Watch? Oh yes. Beyond the first cut (first?) is the YouTube link to the footage of this performance. Though has been requested, I should give the Pepsi Warning. There are many spit take moments in the footage

If I were a puppet! Oi!

The movie gave me the willies as a child. But you know.. I really have to say I’d do THE EXACT same thing given the opportunity.

I rarely talk with her.. But this instantly made me think of shoebox_bird

Mamma want…

Oh yeah!

I have been sick since Sunday, November 26th. This would officially make it 5 days now. Yesterday I discovered that the problem is that none of the medications I’ve been buying have had pseudophedrine hydrochloride in them.

For those that have missed the news…

This med has been used to make methamphetamine and methcathinone. Thus the appearance of your friendly neighborhood meth labs. Thus to further protect the industires of alcohol, tobacco, and firearms to create products that can kill you; the Guilty until proven innocent government has extended the Patriot Act by turning the purchase of pseudophedrine into a suspect act.

Why yes, I can use strong, partisan-like language. I’m sick and had to present papers for cold medicine

Yes, to purchase medication I had to present government papers for inspection (my DL) and sign a form in a book where my purchase was logged along with my ID information. the form acknowledged tat I understood what the federal penalties were for exceeding the purchase limits of my medications.

I only pray that someone doesn’t discover a way to make orange juice, milk, or water into a street drug. I have had it pointed out to me that it’s easy to make nitroglycerin… but people on the street aren’t really trying to score a good explosion.

Just a little sick-inducd bile to assure that I will never be elected to fix this stuff.
