NOR'WESTER, the time has come. Give me a call this weekend.

 Platine, which means, "little silver" is as crappy a vehicle as you can find to mimic silver. I use my one ounce PT bars to learn the basics of hammering silver colored elements with handy forging tools that we all have. Namely a 160 year old anvil and modern tools from the 1890s
 I got a participation trophy for my rendition of a 100 oz silver Barbie. Those old guys that could take silver and make a high thermal conductivity tea service were ahead of their times. Thus was invented the tea cozy to hide ones' ignorance of basic physical traits of the metals. That led into the blockbuster trade in crocheted door stop covers that could blunt the pain of stubbed toes.
 I don't know about you so my Osmium fetish might seem strange. Denser is always better.

 Now that the political lying season is over and the TV stations count their lucre, we can get to brass tacks in new legislation.
 A modest proposal from one of the solons of Capitol City will reform the church Bingo nights. The law proposes a waiting period of four weeks to cash in each set of numbers played by the winner of each card. "This is to level the playing field for atheists, Mohammedans, and multi-spirit folks that usually do not frequent Catholic church basements". With the backing of the state broadcasters' trade association the law calls for mandatory paid advertisements. "Fair is Fair" said the chief of Broadcast advertising for the group, a Mister Walter Scheinberg.
 The legislation is likely to pass as any arguments to the contrary are covered by the previous laws against anti-Semitism.

nuthin ever happens in small town Wisconsin. I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE SERIOUS INTERESTS OUTSIDE OF gREEN bAY pACKERS

WI Nurse Amputated Patient's Foot To Display In Taxidermy Shop: Report
The Durand woman reportedly told co-workers she planned to display it with a sign that read, "wear your boots, kids."

Gee, even Pt gets a bid. Remind me a few times to avoid physical PGMs.

MUGWUMP, thanks for the heads up on MEG.TO That is what I am using for filler what with easily manageable debt and good FCF. I do pay attention to what you dredge up for our perusal.

Hambone. What did you do to improve your timing. You got that rhythm.

coal has fallen out of bed from 400+ to 340. There go the big profits until FJB hooks up the leads from the coal plant to the pinwheels. These old houses with the basement coal room might make a comeback. I need coking coal for my fireplaces.
 I was so stupid as a kid that I found it to be an honor to shovel out the bright red clinkers from the coal furnace. An one hundred year old coal shovel makes a formidable anti-ice/snow dreadnought. LAKE MICHIGAN still burps up lots of sunken coal on a brisk eastern wind.

i had to chortle at the dems that fell for how the republican candidate was about to raise the ss retirement age to a fixed 70 years old. every hot button lie made the dark funded political ads once the friday deadline to lol at the crap commls. made it onto the T+V.     pretty weird how dems get the last whackjobs that believe anything.

Cherokeeee, that sun variability thingy doesn't make you look good. Watch the caca hose job before posting.

WHAT WOULD IT BE IF THE EURO WASN'T DOWN 15.34% YoY?

Oils taking a hit on declining demand and Pedo Joe's use of the SPR credit card to boost foundering Dem candidates.

why did sp500 futs jump 50 in less than an hour?

Pyrite, stop picking on me. I paid USD 3.50 X 1000

Pyrite, surely that is glad tidings, but how was it for you this year? I started paying SS in 1965 at fourteen. All of the years of paying in with nothing to look for other than a debased payout. I did know as a kid that it was a screw job, so my fault.

Pfizer Director Admits Vaccine was Never Tested on Preventing Transmission During EU Hearing Contrary to Previous Claims

What the heck is going on in the EU electric power markets? Did they hire the Enron castaways?
Germany.....+8.72% today and, get this, +174% weekly, but MoM down 28%.
France up 319% YoY
 Such crazy swings obviously show that it is broken.

Pyrite, I have had it on the first instance of minor car repair. I bought a Camry for cash on the base model. It has more crap than I need and the small screen just pisses me off. The cost of a very minor jogger sideswipe is 2/3 the cost of a cop car. Do you want safety?
Crown Vics PI spls, Have a  look at 50-60 mph rear enders video. I like the kevlar panels and the seatbacks are stab proof when carrying grandchildren. The drivetrain and chassis is simple and the cheapest to maintain.
 So what if I don't lurk for you doing five over. I will keep the bubblegum machine on top until my wife deeeevorcices me.
 Where else can you get a brick sh!thouse car with 38k and another at 52k miles for 27 oz of glod? (two for one)
 I might regret the lack of automatic climate control and many amenities like carpet. Each stuff only has 200k life miles left if I change the oil that I stocked up. I'd have to live to 196 to wear it out, and then I have a spare. They are capable of corn sqeezins so I will plant some kickass GMO to fuel it and to heat the hovel. I am weary of looking for vast amounts of free coal on our derailments as they stopped when the tracks got attention. FJB

Don't forget to bail out the credit swap derivative fellows in the banks that are on the wrong side.
"It wasn't my fault"

Seeing as Resident Caca Nappy is intent on nuclear war, I recalled the mission of "Fat Boy".
 Haze over the primary target- so diverted Bockscar and attendants to the center of Christianity in Japan. More than a few in on it later figured out the reasoning.
 Now THEY are hosing us with how Russia destroyed infrastructure that was a very large portion of foreign investment. Now they blew up the bridge just to make hay on a false flag event. The (((MSM))) gives us a straw to sip from the concrete truck of pureed BS.

I don't know much about how hospitals work other than seeing non-treating parasitic bipeds all over the place. I particularly like those signs with the mask mandate showing it covering the eyes. I even lifted one to put it on my hovel door.
 I immediately get pissed when a scold motions to get a Chinese mask. My blood pressure rises and the first thing is a BP test that gets 162/72. Then I am told of risk for stroke and related maladies. This was just for the most basic tests that produces extra profit center billing. It seems as though they forego all standard BP technique to irritate enough to get an anomaly for more "treatment".
 Two days later for a ten minute procedure. BP again, but it is 120/55 from giving me a wait while mask pulled down and no scolding. I went maskless once situated, not even covering the eyes and they did not object until exiting.
 No bleeding nose from the faked covid tests anymore. Goomint has ruined basic medical attentions.
 Tear it down.

Dunno N'w. If it is Dollar and a Quarter store you might not want to buy British Pounds there as that is way overpriced.

Someone in a house demo found two bags of War Nickles and cashed them in thus pushing silver down four per-cent.
 Lean hogs crashed in sympathy.

lonestar, N'W has always treated me right excepting when he sold me platinum when I thought I was buying a very undervalued quarter interest in a racing unicorn. Perhaps the perceived misteak(k) was on my part.

This crap is so predictable. It is simply a bust the gonads of the short pants crowd.
All of the crap on the weekend was on how the "market" was at the whimsy of the shorts. I have a really bad platform on Toronto Dominion Ameritrade so it is tough and expensive to buy or sell wagers on this spoof. In the olden times it was easy to trade on Scottrade.

 It is magical how so many boomers and their spawn have discovered the unlocked value in AAPL and IBM.

GATA be covering me in caca.
 Deutch bank and Credit Suisse are both up today when over the weekend they were about to disembowel the continent.
 Admittedly they are lagging  their poopy pants silver stocks that are perennial losers to be measured against. A few tens of thousand of millions  of taxcow obligations will keep them in the pink and off of the pink sheets.

m2trains, GATA reference? I usually listen to you but might have missed your reference. TIA

mugwump, I am not too far away from you. Did you catch any of the Bears game two weeks ago? That rain dumped on us about 65 miles north of Soldier Field even more, being 9.87 inches in twenty-four hours. It was somewhat dry here until that but heard few complaints about crops other than the unusually cold spring.

1161 pb, in case of disaster those 100 ouncers will save your life. One in each of four pant pockets, and very sturdy suspenders, will be good to go in your bugout kit.
 Why do you think that Earl wore bibs? It wasn't a fashion statement. It was so he could carry six bars, or eight if things got really hairy.

I am quite sure that you do not care for my nature observations, so ignore.
 I saw a subspecies of the Admiral butterfly moments ago. These were most common more than twenty years ago as were all species. Why are they all nearly gone? Why aren't the robins chirping to each other from pre-dawn and post sunset. Wher are the wood thrushes and the native sparrows that should be here by now on their way south?
 We have herring gulls aplenty that are garbage dump feeders but the terns are nowhere that I have seen.
 Did you ever wonder?

WileE, I have to disagree on what is better on "Heard it Through the Grapevine  Whitfield / Strong". Listen to the simple and great lead in for Gladys Knight, and then The Pips do some outstanding, even for that time, vocal mixing. Marvin Gayes version is blah overdone and he whines. Miss Knight has a far more powerful and pleasing voice. It gave me the hair up like a cat when I first heard that group.
 There is no accounting for individual taste; even so, I lay out my claim.

Yeah sure. Will I ever get a premium on the ignored and forgotten Canadian silver dollars? They come with the dead queen too. Her visage doesn't do a thing to pretty them up as they are the worst strikes of any coin extant. Their mint should have struck every one in ten grossly off center to gin up some interest in them They are somewhat convenient in that each one is nearly exactly 0.6 oz Troy. But they are only .800 fine.

I blew 5200 for 10k shares of Morien. Hey, I'm up 0.0175 per share!!

 Maybe I should have had pity on the saps that were unloading the cruise line stocks.
 The companies with huge debt and no earnings are rightfully getting killed. I looked at several that book losses equal to 80% of their share price. A lot of folks that bought into the "growth" story are going to be turfed when they fail.

I was busy getting bitched out for yet another failing so I missed the point at where goomints are blowing all of their fiat reserves to buy the paper that they issued. Be sure that they have no intention of paying it off. It is for appearances at this moment only. Tomorrow is another day.

 Gee whiz, that is a poor looking chart. It resembles the no profit NASDAQ sinking turds.

970 permabear, tell me why that is inferior to Minnesota Commie Bluegrass from the astonishingly high concentrations of pain in the vent lefties. Is it worse than Peter, Paul, and Mary?
 I laughed when hearing that song when we were dumping attic held old magazines from the balcony. I suppose that those old magazines will get decent amounts from knobs that dote on old advertising such as inhabit eastern Minnesota.
 Next time I will lure your wife with The Lettermen.

 I sorely miss Miss Frustrated's comment about here.

OK, I have a tune for permabear that he likely would like because his taste in muzak is so prominently displayed here.
It is relevant to calm him in the falling stock market.

Currency markets seem to be taking Charles III at his desire to be a tampon somewhat seriously. Perhaps the currency traders really do miss the queen. Maybe it is venom about losing Diana.

As I get close to the end of my existence on the orb I have made a concerted effort to eliminate blasphemous words and perhaps going for sainthood, blasphemous thoughts toward those that demand control. I have failed miserably from a very few lapses in viewing the TV news. I am weak and have forsworn that inducement to gutter language.
