Unless you expect hyperinflation to wipe out not only the value of currency but also the electronic record keeping systems related to it and other financial instruments, surely one can store gold more efficiently by purchasing it virtually and letting it remain stored in a bank rather than bringing it home to your own safe.

Now, if you want to melt it down and paint yourself with it, that's another matter. Just be sure to leave a patch of skin exposed so you don't suffocate.

Actually, those are real. Her name's Denise Milani (I can read really small print when it counts) and her shtick is that she's never gone topless. Hence, whenever somebody sends me a link with her name in it, it gets deleted. She's fine and all, but that's an incredibly arrogant branding posture. Nothing's *that* special.

I didn't say home safe. I said safe deposit box. Most people who buy gold actually do tend to do it for the doomsday scenario, in my experience, so they don't necessarily want it to be a simple debit on the bank's books; the want to exercise physical dominion and control.

Maybe they are saggy without the support of a teeny tiny bikini. This is what we small-chested girls think about everyone bigger than a C. Ahh, delusion.

But, if doomsday, what is the guarantee you can get into the box?

And, Gwinky, you want Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, 90 Broad Street.

You may be right. This photo fascinates me, but I fear what might happen if they were unleashed.

There are degrees of sag. Sometimes it just doesn't matter.

I've never understood why gold is supposed to remain valuable in a doomsday scenario.

That's okay. Everytime Hank showers at his gym he thinks "yeah, but I bet he can't get an erection without passing out from the loss of blood to the rest of his body."

Because mountains of archeological evidence establishes that even during times of minimal government and sociological upheaval, gold can always be traded for pussy.

Gold has been used as a store of value for as long as there has been an economy. It is expected to not only hold, but increase, in value as the shit hits the fan because it always has.

I myself am banking on a new economy based upon brisket.

on Howard Stern this week they played an "increase your dick size" tape. the exercise is this: get an erection- open a book, or a magazine, or at least a greeting card, and place on member- then flex upwardly ten times. repeat.

I'm giving this public notice so no one claims I got a head start.

Re: The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!
 
sports guy's take- for what it's worth, last night in the last few minutes the celts had a break and to the left of the screen I saw LeBron jogging back- game was almost over, but not over- first team all NBA defender was jogging back- T Prince has a ring because he didn't jog back on a break away.
  • Because the other part feels as if we learned something substantial about LeBron James this spring. I always thought his ceiling looked like this: Jordan's DNA crossed with Magic's DNA crossed with Bo Jackson. Nope. Take the Jordan DNA out. Have to. Jordan was a ruthless mother******. Jordan was a killer. Jordan didn't care if his teammates despised him. Jordan never, ever, not in a million years, would have allowed his team to quit in the final two minutes of Thursday night's game the way LeBron did. His teammates feared him, loathed him, revered him and played accordingly. Bird had that same quality. In the second half of his career, so did Magic. Winning meant so much to those guys that their teammates almost didn't have a choice; they had to follow suit. Or else.

    LeBron James is 25 years old. He has played seven seasons -- 548 regular-season games and 71 playoff games. There's a feeling that he can still get better and, with better teammates, maybe he could. But fundamentally, to paraphrase Bill Parcells, he is what he is at this point -- a gregarious, larger-than-life, supremely gifted basketball player who's better at making us say "WOW!" than anything else. If he owned that cutthroat Jordan chromosome, or Magic's leadership chromosome, it would have surfaced by now. In Wednesday's column before Game 6, I mentioned how there comes a point in every great player's career when you have to pour the cement, let it harden and see what you have. We poured the cement for LeBron in this series. It hardened last night. We know what we have.

    And last night, LeBron's DNA finally made sense to me. Throw Jordan out. Throw Magic out, too, except for the "controls sections of a game with passing/rebounding" part. Keep Bo. Now, add this guy … Julius Erving.

USAA also reimburses all ATM fees. I use them for my insurance, and they rock.

Truly. They are THE BEST. I'm trying to convince my current FIL to sign up. He's a WWII veteran, and 93 years old. If he doesn't do it soon, my eligibility is going to dry up!
