Bankman

Did everyone get a chance to say good bye to Bankman. His farewell party was quite an affair. Push a button and he's gone.

Thanks. No great loss, although more than a little bizarre during his brief visit. Certainly was full of vitrol and ignorance. With an obvious lack of common sense and decency thrown in for good measaure. Made for quite a combination.

Disgraceful, ignorant, pleb.

However - did get amusing with the whole 'ignore' thing !

My guess, teenager, fake Rolex, didn't like the fact he'd been 'done'..

It was a pretty decent thread until he came barging in. Oh well, he's gone now.

The problem with a thread like that, Jeff, (even without Bankman's comments) is that it has a tendency to devolve into racial and economic slurring. We're better off without raising those issues.

Sorry, JJ. Had I but known, I would have let him stay. But since he's toast, I can float you a loan at 15%/month interest, payable in advance.

JJ, I can cut you a deal better that that. All I'll need is the deed to your property and those Rollies. We can have things drawn up in a matter of minutes. What say you?!?

JJ,

Tell you what - I'll front you Prince's Rollies as assurance on my good intentions, and provide secured funding via bankman (he's honest ... so he says). And I'll give you a cut-throat interest rate - 14.5% per month, calculated and payable bi-weekly. And I'll let you keep the sheep.

What could be more fair than that?

James

Somehow, I smell something rotten in Denmark with this deal. Oh, I know what it is... ALL OF IT!!!

Especially that part about fronting JJ my Rollies...

He was one hell of a potty mouth. I'm sure he's reading this now as a guest. In any case, this was the first time that I had to use the REPORT button. I actually reported three offending posts from him.

JJ,

Okay, okay. You drive a hard bargain. Prince seems to be having second thoughts about this deal (not sure why ), so I'll throw in the Nike Girls (when I find them).

And who said that mods don't play nice with others!!?? Clearly, cooperation in action here!

James

I figure that we can all get along and come to common ground in the end. And the Nike Girls are most assuredly common ground, me thinks. Have to watch out for that JJ, though. Sheep herders are notoriously cagey when it comes to bartering.
