Degas: Back In The Good Old USA!

A big, big hello to all you fine folks. Its so nice to be back in the USA just in time for Veterans Day.

I see there has been a whole lot going here. I was away on another super secret mission, but also found a little time to open up some fantastic new business opportunities. As always, I’ll provide details later on how some of you lucky guys and gals can get in on the ground floor and reap huge rewards of 300% or more in a matter of days. I hate to be a tease, but think Nepal and 8-track re-cycling plants, & Mongolia and talking toilets. Possibilities are endless.

But what a great country we have right here. Where else could John Kerry get paid to tell bad jokes, Borat find true love, Faith Hill get to be honest in front of millions, and George Bush and Nancy SF Liberal eat lunch and act like they don’t hate each other’s guts. Yeah, they wanted to bury the ax all right, right in the middle of each other backs!

What a true land of opportunity for no good POLS of all lying persuasions. Watch your wallets!

And did you see how Wal-Mart stepped up to the plate and lowered prices on appliances, electronics and toys? And best of all, they gonna greet shoppers with “Merry Christmas” instead of this silly “Happy Holiday” stuff. Somebody must have got in a new shipment of big testi….s .

And I see my old pal, Britney Jean Spears, has finally dropped that good for nothing backup dancer, Kevin Feed-Her-a-Line, but not before fifty lawyers checked out the prenuptial agreement and began work on a new TV show called “America’s Worst Mothers“!

Well, I got to unpack my 21” cardboard suitcase and then chase my dear little wife around our little grass shack up on the North Shore. Surf ain’t the only thing up today. I’ll be back on the forum to talk about Paris. The Frogs are giving me a medal next year for my work with the Legion in the darkest jungles of Africa. Somebody has to do the dirty stuff for those petite little garlic eaters and I’m just the rough, tough, but reflective kind of guy to do it (for the right amount of Francs) Hey, wait a minute, you can still exchange those things, can’t you?

Welcome home!
Not to pry or ask you to divulge proprietary information, but does the Nepal project at all relate to converting a single 8 track in to two quadrophonic tapes, thus instantly doubling available inventory? If so, you may want to get into some additonal due diligence - I learned about this alleged revolutionary process when I asked my broker to explain what happended to my retirement account.

Degas,

Glad you're back in the good ol' USA. As you can see, nothing's changed much.

Talking toilets are hilarious! Have they made their way from Japan to yonder?

Hi Seamus

Now you got me worried! I'll check with my worthless lawyer at his next visitor's day at the county jail! Does anybody know if ACME University is a real school of higher learning?

mcnyc, yeah, talking toilets are a hoot. I thought I discoverred one years ago while squatting over a BENJO trench in a remote hamlet in Korea, but it was just some slicky boy trying to steal my wallet.

Me, vote? You bet I do - early, often and for at least a bottle of red ripple wine! Those hanging chads on the last batch were from bullet holes!

So Rushbo got caught with a suitcase full of viagra? What kind of limp excuse did he offer the TSA?

wren, I'm falling out of my chair over that one!

But at least he kept a stiff upper lip during the entire sad little incident!

He did escape doing hard time for his legal boner, however.

Welcome back.
