OK, I know this one's completely improbable, but I'll get the ball rolling with:-
'That's a really good point, No positives.'

"I knew Tyler Hamilton's twin. He was a good bloke, he would never dope his brother"

Any utterance that is close to a remotely insightful thought regarding any topic.-saluki/No_Positives

Can you send me some pure, fine mescaline?

Thought, I'm off to Europe's pisspoor version of the Rockies for a few weeks. Sad, but I'm afraid that rubbish, socialized mountains are all that we've got. I don't want NoPo to have a free pass while I'm away and I know I can rely on you to keep plenty of extreme invective flowing into what passes for his brain cell. No letting up!

Your hand got better quickly. That's great news. Must be that great care you were receiving. Or maybe it was just a boo boo and you should not have been there in the first place. Or maybe you found a girlfriend.

Why do I need two good hands to cross the channel? I'm not swimming, cretin. You really haven't got the hang of thought processes yet, have you?

"I used to believe Lance when he said he was clean. But now when I see the evidence that insightful members of this forum have brought to light, it is obvious to me, and anyone else I presume with a cursory knowledge of cycling and a high school education, that he is a liar."

Hyperbole and opinion means nothing. Facts do. Seven wins. No positives.

Just one addition to that Cranky, for one of our more recalcitrant members..... 'and a functioning brain.' Otherwise you are right. Most people, with the exception of a few deranged individuals, are capable of elementary, deductive reasoning.

Hein-Verbruggen/Dr.House/Flyer (in sports shop): "Sir, can I try on those $300 Nike sneakers you have displayed on the top shelf."

Hein-Verbruggen/Dr.House/Flyer (in drugstore): "Do you have any Cow blood"

Hein-Verbruggen/Dr.House/Flyer (at home) : "Honey, I see your point now and I was wrong, I'm sorry"

The above is impossible on two counts because Dr.Hein-Verflyer is never wrong and he is obviously single.

And I suppose you believe FloJo never used PED's either. And Barry Bonds was just a late developer.

How do you use the computer under the sand where your head is. Wouldn't the grains get under the keys?

When T-Bills (90 day risk free US paper) yields plummetted 75 basis points inside 150 trading minutes last week----that my firends is a capital markets message.

Wholesale Panic! Steroids, months of fed rate cuts and antibiotoics are on the way, despite any cover stories who may have read.

You were warned---yet again.

Jan Ulrich lacked a Nike sneaker contract, otherwise he would have won the 2006 & 2007 TDF.

Peace

Fed is in a panic.

Which contrasts nicely with the reaction of the BoE.
The base interest rate (that's the lending rate to you and me) is 5.75% currently.
The BoE has maintained a policy of keeping rates static or increasing them.

Bernie really should follow the BoE's lead.
The LIBOR (that's the interbank landing rate) is usually a few base points less than the base rate.
However, the LIBOR has been ahead of the interest rate since July 2nd and the BoE has stated that it intended to keep this rate at this level (above the base rate).

Bernie's capitulating.
He should take his lead from Threadneddle Street.
Instead he's bailing out the culprits.

So Heiny, did you short the stock market or bond markets mid-2005 when you first called this crisis? How have you managed to keep up with the margin calls? You are like the guy who has predicted 11 of the last two recessions. Yes - markets follow boom-bust cycles. The challenge is in the timing. I have enough experience in the financial markets to pin you straight away as a guy who just loves to show off to people that they are right. Those guys never made much money cause their ego was the most important thing and they financially died when they were wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy your posts when they're informative. Just please don't start the chest-beating when you think you were right. You're chance of being right eventually from when you made the call (as you say) in 2005 was close to 100%. Just as if the stock market is careering upwards and I declare that there is going to be a bear market within a few years, I've probably got a 95% chance of being proved right. I just would have trouble making any money out of that prediction.

We are in a global credit crisis of historical proportions.

Fastin your safety belt.

Got it in one CF.

He's a fantasist, serving up out of date news, who wants to create the perception that only he has access to info.

He told us the Dow Jones dropped the other day - 5 hours after most news agencies had reported the very same stuff.

I don't even have to try very hard with her/him/it either; in fact, I am pretty sure I was sleeping when I wrote some of my posts. I will continue in what will appear to her/him/it as full throttle, when in actuality, I will be giving about 40% effort.

When you're outclassed, that's a typical refrain.
