People who know the price of everything and the value of nothing...

 The way things are valued these days 
is enough to make your head spin...  
 
Iconic sweets company Bazooka Candy Brands is for sale, and former Disney CEO Michael Eisner swants $700 million for it. The company, which currently sells around 40 million units of chewing gum and candy per year, was founded in New York in 1938 under the name Topps Chewing Gum. It began selling Bazooka bubble gum after World War I 
In the 1950s, Topps began adding baseball trading cards to their packaging, and last year, Eisner sold the trading card business to sports collectibles company Fanatics for $500 million.
$ 400,000,000.00 for a company that makes 'penny candy'.

Whoever that guy was who said 'Tempus Fugit' wasn't fucking around. 
It is absolutely amazing how much faster time goes by as you get older. You'd really think if god truly had a sense of compassion (and maybe a sense of humor) he'd make it go slower for those of us who don't have that much time left.

Guy spends $ 250,000.00 to go for a ride on a Tonka Toy submarine to see some boat that sank and it ends up being a bad last coupla days for the dude on the bottom of the ocean. Think he got his money's worth? The crazy shit some people'll throw money at is crazy.
... 

That pun is so bad it's almost funny, but I guess it is kinda Florida-centric...
... 

Take this guy for example. I know it's important to love your daighter and all that shit, but this is just fuckin' craziness in action.
Massachusetts dad Anthony Silva spent $21,000 for his daughter and friends to see Taylor Swift’s sold-out concert at Gillette Stadium, home of the NFL’s New England Patriots because his original tickets never arrived. Back in November of last year, Silva bought four tickets for Swift’s “The Era’s Tour” stop at Gillette Stadium on May 19 as a Christmas gift for his 19-year-old daughter Katlyn. The entire set, purchased through StubHub cost Silva $1,800, but he was still empty-handed days before the show. He opted to go through a different ticket site where he met the massive $21,000 price tag - 11 times the total amount he originally paid.
I have some ocean-front property in Iowa I wanna sell this guy. 
One more thought: Read the original article I read in an old copy of the Post back in May and tell me this daughter shouldn'ta got smacked in the head for her behaviour:
... 

Fireworks are a big deal down here in the Sunshine State. 
They're illegal to set off for the most part, but you can have them legally on New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Fourth of July.
According to Florida law, fireworks are “any combustible or explosive composition or substance or combination of substances … prepared for the purpose of producing a visible or audible effect by combustion, explosion, deflagration, or detonation.”
Basically, that includes anything that flies, visibly explodes and/or audibly goes boom with the notable exception of sparklers, cap guns, smoke bombs, cigarette loads, party poppers, and snappers, which were already legal to use in Florida. Yes, Florida statutes define cigarette loads.
... 

I gotta be honest here. I don't get it.

Have a birthday or other special event
 coming up soon? Maybe you need to find
 a gift for someone special. How about this?

When's the last time you did something really 
friggin' stupid like this guy did?

A French “human torch” set two Guinness World Records on fire Thursday after he ran across the finish line while engulfed in flames. Firefighter Jonathan Vero, 39, was licked by intense flames and deprived of oxygen for the entirety of this 893 ft dash around a track in his hometown Haubourdin, a commune 138 miles northwest of Paris.

Another one I don't quite get. Did I miss something 
while I was in Ireland?

  2. the Noah thing is trying to say that cristianity supports climate alarmist bullshit, by pointing to Noah and preparations for the flood. The left is a religious cult of insanity.

  3. This is Hell.
    The kindly-looking bearded man wearing glasses is not Noah, but an imp in disguise. The woman contemplating the steep climb is Sara Magdalena Ernman, Greta Thunberg's mother.
    Her eternal punishment is to try reach the safety of the "ark" to be forgiven by "the Climate Psychologist," her image of G-d, for leading her daughter astray.
    Like Sisyphus, as she nears the end of the ramp, the imp jiggles and overturns the board, whereupon she falls off only to have to start again.

  4. Gillette Stadium is the absolute worst venue for a concert. The bleachers reach 16 stories high and it makes the stadium an echo box. It was the absolute worst concert I have attended. No, I did not go see Taylor Swift. It was the Stones.
