I hear Hollywood is short on writers. You could propose it as a TV show: My Dog and I....or.. A Boy and his Dog.
 
Wow. I read this and was near to crying.

"Auch die Praxis indirekter Selbstmorde greife um sich – bei jenen Verzweifelten die es nicht schaffen, selbst Hand an sich zu legen. „Die rufen die Polizei an und sagen: Ich habe eine Waffe und vor, jemanden umzubringen. Dann kommt der Streifenwagen mit Blaulicht. Und sie wissen, sobald sie mit gezückter Waffe aus dem Haus treten, wird einer der Polizisten sie erschießen, in Selbstverteidigung.“"

It reads:

"The practice of indirect suicide is becoming more popular, too - with those despairing who don't succeed in taking their own life. "They call the police and say: I have a weapon and plan to kill somebody. Then the squad car arrives with flashing blue lights. And they know that when they make a step outside the house with their drawn weapon, one of the policemen will kill them, in self-defence.""

The article is about the PSTD (post-traumatic stress disorder) of the Iraq veterans who return to the USA.
 
I know a guy here that was in Iraq three times and was injured by a IED explosion. He ducks down every time there is a loud noise of any sort, and doesn't have the nerve to drive a car himself.

BTW, good to see ya round Rocketman.
 
For all economists...you'll have a new perspective afterwards!


"I'll maximize your utility.

What do you say we expand our production possibility curves?

What do you say I eliminate some dead weight loss and add to your consumer surplus.

I don't know about you, but it's all about macro where I come from.

Your subsidy, our social benefit!

Do you work for the Fed, cause your raising my reserves.

You're like the village commons...*sigh* what a tragedy!

You won't find any elasticity with my demand, cause there are no substitutes.

I see ourselves in ten minutes engaging in a series of mutually offsetting investments in performance enhancement stimulated by a positional externality...sounds like a position arms race to me.

It's OK baby...I'm a price taker.

Porkbellies rising!

You've been spending too much time with the invisible hand...time for some external intervention.

You can price discriminate against me!

I'm a pure public good...you can free-ride on me any time you want.

My unit is elastic...what you give is what you get.

We're like a capital market...your investment equals my interest.

Let's strip your rust belt and see how our economy develops from there!

We're like monopolistic competition...all we care about is the short run.

There's no deflation where I come from...not when you're playing with my ratchet!

Our society is underproducing...but I'm sure if we hooked up we'd achieve an efficient allocation of resources.

I'd like you to OPEC my energy markets.

My fiscal policy is all about contributing to your private sector.

Are you in TANF? (Temporary Assistance for Needy Fannies)

Your industry shows promise...time for my firm to break the barrier of entry.

I suggest you lower barriers to entry to encourage free exchange."
 
You remember these two cannibal men in Germany who ate the dick of one of them together, then one killed the other, cut him down to handy bits and kept the rest in the fridge? Eating up the body bit for bit, for supper?


Hearing from someone that you thought loved you that they never did so?
 
I can go anywhere, etc etc it's in a book, dah dah dah, rrreeeaaaddddiiinnngggg rainboowwwwwwww!

Where are your special star trek glasses Mr. Man? Do you read books in a different spectrum?
 
I'm intoxicated by the idea of posting impunity. If no one is here, then there are no rules, ...man.

Also I am not "on the sauce", or in any altered state of mind, i'm just posting what I want. I have work in 14 minutes.
 
One of the better things about running around South east asia is knowing that there is absolutely no way to make drunken phone calls to people back home.
 
Montana's regional airports are itty bitty and extremely expensive to fly out of. It'd be cheaper to drive 500 miles to Salt Lake City and fly from there but obviously that's a hassle.
 
I'm only 128 miles away from Boston, and round trip tickets were $120. If I hadn't of been so last minute it would have been right around $100. I'm flying on a little cessna prop. :D
 
Initially, I planned to spend more than 1000 euro on a round trip flight to Brazil
(Regional airport-Frankfurt-Sao Paulo and back).

But because the Dutch are the best and make everything cheap, I found a flight from Munich-Amsterdam-Sao Paulo and back for merely 450 euro! :D
Alas, the flight starts at 6.50 am and Munich is 200 km away. Looks like I'll wake up 2 am.
On the other hand, maybe I'll spend less for the whole trip than I planned spending only for the flight.
