burrocrat's Account Talk

what time does church let out? maybe after being financially absolved of the week's sins some folks with room to give will stop by after the buffet.
 
how i spent most of my sunday: trying to get a dam soccer ball out of a tree. actually it's a volleyball i think, but it was free so it is what it is.

my kid and his friends where kicking it around the other day and it got stuck. i've worn out my good arm throwing a football at it. i backed my pickup under it and tried my extension ladder from the bed but it won't reach so it's at least 24' up there. i'm too old and fat to shimmy out on that branch and expect anything other than a tragedy to happen. swearing doesn't help or else that ball would've been out of the tree and down the road without looking back a long time ago. i got the .22 out and was going to teach it a lesson but the neighbor lady had her phone in her hand.

so it just sits there mocking me. i'm going to leave it there now and wait for a big storm to come along i think. i'm out of affordable options at this point. this thing is really ticking me off now.

this photo is on max zoom from my smart phone, i'm not kidding it is way up there.

How about trying an extended 12 ft paint stick screwed on to a second 12 ft paint stick and stand on your truck bed?? You could buy two .. Get the ball down and then return for refund or keep one for painting ceilings or trim. I love those paint brush / roller extension poles... Work great.
 
Good evening everyone, thanks for coming to honor the great man that is burro

Contrarian Jeff, OMG, is that you.....made you look, there's a greater chance of Birch shorting the market than Jeff showing up
Ebbnflow is still backstage spouting off about some triple patterned colored system he developed, I told him to advertise on his thread more so others can hear about it more

PO, more like BO, man no wonder why RMI went to the can

James4883, we are all proud of you for stating your weight after your name, acknowledging your problem is the first step, my god have you seen his before pictures, we are still waiting for the after ones...I saved the seat next to you for Castro, but he didn't want to come off as a conservative
Bogie, what's that, ok I'll say it, Jimmy Joe is so far up Birch's ass he can look up at his G spot...go fill JTH's gap his always seems to be open
Sensei, I hear you can run fast...well maybe if your ancestors would have ran away faster from the cloud they would have been ok...what, too soon
Frixxxy's shooting fireballs at me so I'll try to wrap it up
Tom, without you, this magical night would have not been possible, and also without you I might be still happily married, I have been a TSP addict for over 2 years now, you son of a bitch(I'm gonna send you my shipping info again, for the mug, I think you sent it to the wrong address)

Hey that's enough burro, give him a hand, I said hand, not mouth Grandma, for Godsakes take your teeth out first...sorry about that folks....... great job, burro, thanks for sticking to the tele prompter good buddy
Im getting the wrap up music now, I haven't even got to the guest of honor, oh well, the matinee version
should be making the rounds for all to see
I had a great time hosting the 2013 Roast-a-burro, I hope everyone enjoyed themselves...good night...I'm sure I'll get invited back to host next year...cya then
 
well that took an unexpected turn...

but there's still 3 hours left. at least nobody called me a jerk, or f'd up and emotionally bankrupt, or made fun of my gender indicator.

yet.
 
Wow, rckn, I thought this was a burro roast but in the tradition of roasts I suppose everyone is fair game.:D

I pi$$ed away some time today looking at past burro posts for something. I find most of his reasoning and fantasies to be quite sound. His postulations are at least worth investigating.

It seems like burro and I grew up in the same small town, only thousands of miles apart. The main difference was rolling wreck sedans for me instead of peek ups.

The only thing is that incident with one of his cousins and a GSA vehicle many years ago. Long forgotten I hope but may surface when I retire. That ain't even within burro's scope of reality.

About Wilson up a tree. Are the kids too out of shape to go get it? Is that incorrect because it might cause them danger and harm? Is self initiative to solve a problem at the point of "someone else will do it"? Have you contacted the DNC and ACLU about this problem? I realize that your inability to solve this problem may be pointed out as another example of workers not being able to solve problems without government help. Possibly a new congressional committee or a new federal agency will be required.

Though I am on MST, I am using EDT as the cutoff. If I am too late, well whatever.

PO
 
hey burro, did you see Miley Cyrus's performance last night...how inappropriate was that...she has some nerve to act in such a disrespectful way

no, i missed it. i had a prior social engagement. besides, my days of oggling too skinny, too loopy, too young bad girls are long gone. i prefer the too skinny, too loopy, old bad girls now. unfortunately, they don't seem to prefer me.
 
i appreciate all the feedback and the laughs, thanks everyone, your contributions will be taken into consideration during the next transformation cycle. and now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

 
what do you call a -2% down day? a good start.

sure, there is some despair and regret, but many folks expected it and are kicking themselves a little for not responding to obvious stimuli sooner. almost no one is kicking their dog for just laying there staring at them like a stoopit f***ing dog 'how can you lay there like that with your tongue hanging out and your tail wagging while my fortunes piddle away forever down the drain' ...whack... 'you stupid f***ing dog!' yet.

so that tells me we still have a ways to fall before it's time to catch the falling knife. at least another -3% over a couple of consecutive days. when you smell the tears and can hardly stand to look at the anguish writ large on the less than 10 years from retirement crowd's faces, that's when the iron is hot.

let 'er buck. wheeeeee!
 
holy schmackers, just checked the tracker, ouch. being up +20% is all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. a -2 day is like -10% profit for some buy and hold folks. that probably cost more than a brand new car.

i'm surprised at how many turned tail at the sound of thunder and booked the loss. maybe this thing is bigger than i thought.
 
well kuh rap, what does it take to run this relentless market down 5-6% in one week? it just won't die. going to have to wait for another big down push for my buy in i guess.

what do you call a bear with no legs?

i find this disturbing, hasbro has replaced the monopoly 'iron' game piece with a 'cat'. a freakin cat of all things.

http://gizmodo.com/new-monopoly-cat-token-review-me-ow-1209284863

that's right kids, no need to show up to work in a pressed suit and a sharp mind in order to become a titan of industry, just wander around the neighborhood in crumpled dirty clothes with pet dander all over you collecting $200 for free.

my god, what have we become? nothing is sacred anymore.
