    Pyrokinesis - Qigong Master Boils Water With His Hands

    Thunderdog, you are such a cynic! Even in our concretist world there are multitudes of scientifically-inexplicable phenomena. For instance, every time I log onto ET, I am astonished anew that my ears pop from the intellectual vacuum.

    Trading Serenity

    Bitch Market! My favorite dominatrix! I represent my system calls as stoplight helpers for the same reason. Loud colors and loud sounds to rouse a somnolent old man. None of this intuitive interpretive discretional crap! Do it now, slave! We are, after all, just fetishistic slaves to the market...

    Trading Serenity

    Plus there is always the hope, no matter how vain or absurd, that you may fall in virtual love on ET. Some people get lucky, I hear.

    Trading Serenity

    Thank you for your kind remarks. I agree, but there a few posters whom you would miss if you left. For example, how much work would you have to do to find those fascinating econ links ASusilovic posts? I would miss the sly humor and slam-dunk putdowns of Thunderdog. And the rabid rants of...

    Trading Serenity

    Too deep for me. I will merely note that when I stopped seeking the new I found the old. I must be the only person in the world who never before saw a Seinfeld video. I'll remember you for that.

    Trading Serenity

    Paradoxically, as I near the end of a long and spectacularly mediocre career as a trading therapist, I been privileged to discover an entirely new syndrome: the Serene Trader. This has not been altogether without pain, however, as I stumbled upon it while inquiring of lapsed clients why they...

    Guys, sexiness is all in context. The first girl you ever did it with in a car was beautiful!

    Oh, don't say Maslow! Only people as old as me are supposed to remember him. Still remember when I discovered him. Sent me down a dark path of self-discovery which wound up splitting my fragile personality. Let me put this another way. ET is filled with phonies (I myself am only a...

    Qubie, I am a child of children of the Not-So-Great Depression. And I have read all the major books about it. Just between you and me, OK? Obama wants to be remembered as Roosevelt. He's the next Hoover.

    But we digress. Lucky, come up with a game plan. Let me give you a hint. I slaved writing a textbook in the late '60's. Took me five years. Made well over $50K in royalties. Very satisfying! But would I not have been better off financially in the long run taking a second job at Mickey D's...

    It's early, Qubie. And I am old and forgetful. And I intensely disliked his work. Scared the shit out of me. Had hoped to die before the next big one hit. No such luck. But I grew up around outhouses and well water and cash economy, so I know the drill.

    I had forgotten what he looked like. Poor bastard! Or maybe we should shoot more economists. Looks not unlike me at about 30. I wonder...? But no, that doesn't work. I last died in the Pacific in WWII, time isn't right.

    My Latin sucks. Learnt that first. Then Russian flushed it. Then German flushed the Russian. Then I discovered la plus belle langue du monde entier and I am now a happy man. But I still work on my English. Rereading the Webster's Collegiate Dictionary from cover to cover for the first time in...

    It would help if you looked Arouet up to see who he is. And sorry, I edited my previous post by adding a paragraph you might want to read.

    Perhaps I may be of some help. But first permit me to rant. Over this lifetime I have witnessed the absurd progression in the DSM from "psychopathic" to "sociopathic" to "antisocial", as if that linguistic blurring somehow ameliorated the nastiness of the behavior. Now we have MPD progressing to...

    Spelling and Trading

    Today: "right a book" English is a bitch of a language to learn. On second thought, I have read a multitude of wrong-headed books I'd like to right.
