Thought for the day............

Hey nutmeg, you wanna invest in my product? Its.....a good idea, geez, i dunno where to start...following BrandonF's internet marketing threads with some interest, but this is an actual thing, an actual product, that needs manufacturing, before , presumably, trying to sell it.
Be kinda fraudulent otherwise.
-------------------------

We are probably on the same track. I too, have a great product idea that needs to mfg'ed. Maybe I'll float the idea past Brandon. (I could get it built but no one will touch it without a patent and there are a few snafu's in this dept.

I have been following Brandon's thread with interest, frankly I put in tons of effort on the web regarding a different idea and the thought of starting all over again makes me feel like puking, because it is never easy.
 
Ok, well just to change things up a little, 6 pages, and I cant find the film thread?
Oh, F#*&*().

Right, well, this movie, is friggin good stuff,
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395119/
Captain Alitriste.
Viggo Mortensen as the ne'er do well cap'n, didnt recognise him at all from lord of the rings.
Great film; a swordfight in nearly every scene, proper fencing , sword and dagger .

Brutal, grim and bloody, could have used some enthusiastic extras here and there, but the sheer grimness speaks volumes.

BTW, "espad y daga" has been altered on wiki to mean something other than a traditional European fighting art-any Latinos please correct, but doesn't it basically mean, "sword and dagger"?

Wiki is claiming its an invention of the phillipinoes, derivative of the spanish invasions etc etc.Is my wording wrong?
 
God I'm still waiting for my check. Not good. Already booked a vacation. Hope there's nothing wrong. Afraid to ask. Just like with the market.

Had another opportunity for my " starters heel cup" I was working out and slipping all over the place. Trainer put foot back there. What about little sticky sprinters starting cups?

Then I popped a muscle and had to stretch my leg against the wall, couldn't hold it up there- needed a starters heel cup there too. They stick anywhere!

Have you guys seen the new infomercial for the breast enhancement work out? Genius. What a missed opportunity for all of us.. the measuring of the breasts to prove the system works and that stupid bendy bar... all so easy and dirty. Good product.

Who the hell is " Brandon "~ stoney
 
Quote from nutmeg:

So AC, what's your idea?
More...

Well, its just a peice of apparel nutmeg, that actually does what it should do, thats all. Cant elaborate, top secret and all.
Still thinking, which is a bad sign-maybe the solar panel isn't such a bad idea.

I dont mind the idea of the sprinters cups, either, stoney......they do, thinking about it , have broad applications.
How many people, kick their toes with their heel to take of scuffs and slippers...everyone!!If you could "slipper park" them, what a dream that would be.
Being relocatable, usefull for ballet/dance/yoga students, stretch enthusiasts, you name it. Limited space, etc etc.

Heck, those door frame chin up/heel-hang ab exercise things sold a bomb, despite no modern door frame being able to manage that weight.
Without even mentioning the "home relationship aid' ,'sex workers' " application, its a great idea.
Wait, i did mention that?

Well, i never claimed this thread was highbrow anyway.

Exercise equipment.
All studies ive seen, suggest, that of every multigym, walker, treadmill , and uber machine sold, around 10% ever see much use, despite their purchase price.

For the overweightly inclined, this must be the buyers market of the century.
At least it might be, if they didnt come up with something better.


Something better.......isn't that what we all dream of.
That , was my TFTD.
 
Ay yes something better.
I have birds waiting for me in Ct yet I'm here.
banging away at a typewriter in a dirty city with a cold and a stuffed ear and a wife who's mad at me for sending the kid to school sick yesterday and having to pick him up after the teachers call and everyone could be mad for infecting the class except he's gone through his fever and is just puking now...

I have a gun but I'm not going to use it. It's a water gun don't worry folks, Nutmeg, Ac, it seems you are the only ones brave enough to comment here in the world forum for thoughts of the day. The thought is near f*ing suicide but not quite there.

last night they called to say my bidder had fled the scene & reneged or whatever, fled the coop, another flamed out investor I bet. Just like me. Damn. I've already purchased a vacation and a LCD TV on the CC expecting this check.

Within 24 hours I will find out how much LOWER I will get from the #2 bidder once he or she in contacted and if that is unacceptable then it's back to auction and we start the whole crazy process again. 24 hours. the gun is filled with love juice I don't mind saying collected by me in an awkward moment in an effort to save the veneer of the dining table... damn these web sites!

Back to the suction cups... there has been a great breakthrough guys. I've teamed up with a former employee of Sataym computer or something like that big outfit in India and for just a little bit of money from me they will adapt my Restless Leg Syndrom Avoidence Cups RLSAC's or RL SAC (tm stoney) & Work Out Enhancer, WOE! (tm stoney) & Ultimate Stretcher into an IPOD AND CELL PHONE CHARGER! Yes each restless step will be harnessed into green energy with a flywheel too and if we pump too much we can sell extra energy back into the grid once Sataym sets it up! I'm going places surely!! At least To Harbour Island, but how I will get there? With which funds? Because they are none... just a painting of a dollar sign sitting at an auction house resting on the testicles of the stonedinvestor. It's not easy being me.~stoney
 
You know, the irony of a painted dollar sign being worth something, then the cheque bouncing is actually delicious irony, not that you can eat it.

For that matter, how do you "wear" a loss?


I heard hydrogen peroxide is good for clearing ears, presumably use the commonly available 3% solution, totally safe and see what happens. It will bubble and froth, potentially, but thats how they clear out impacted ear wax in surgeries, so DYODD, give it a go.

Some, claim it can stop colds and flu in its tracks, before you even get the virus!!!!
Remarkable.
How the hell would you know, if you DIDNT get something, what it might be attributable to?


TFTD;
The world is a strange place, take care out there.





:cool:
 
Jeepers, is everyone dieing around here? Stoney gets screwed with a bum cheque, brandonf is apparently dieing again, despite being younger than me, (wtf?and richer? WTF again?) and everyone else is in market shock mode.

Bo-ring.

So, i got a 60litre fermenter, and am gonna make me some beer.
That's right.
Shitloads of beer.

The cure for all the worlds ills. Beer.

Hey, stoney, hows that cheque -in the-mail? Man, that sucks.
Self sufficiency-well, it starts, at home.
Double up on bottles, i could have 10 cases on the go in a month or so.

Sometimes, the best things in life are not free.

They might be cheaper than usual, but not free.
 
Thought you guys might enjoy this. 7th and 42nd is Times Square.

Found this in a book "Gone to New York", by Ian Frazier. Another great story in this book about the role the typewritter played in ww2. (one man, nyc and his singlehanded role during the war).




If you drilled a hole straight through the earth, starting at the corner of Seventh Avenue and Forty-second Street, you would pass through ten inches of pavement, four feet of pipes, thirty-five feet of Seventh Avenue subway, about twenty-two hundred miles of rock, about thirty-six hundred miles of nickel-iron core, and then another twenty-two hundred miles of rock. You would come out in the Indian Ocean, 106°3' east longitude and 40°45' south latitude, about three hundred miles off the southwest coast of Australia. You would have reached Manhattan’s antipodes, or diametrically opposite point on the globe. You would be about two and a half miles under water.

The town nearest to Manhattan’s antipodes is Augusta, Australia, 590 miles to the northeast, where Australians go for fishing vacations and where it rains about half the year.

Not much goes on in this part of the Indian Ocean. It is fall there now. The water is gray-green, like the North Atlantic, and very rough. Navigators call these latitudes “the roaring forties,” because the storms are so violent. There are no shipping lanes near Manhattan’s antipodes, so there is no junk on the ocean floor. The ocean floor is completely dark (except for the light produced by occasional luminescent fish and other organisms), and the water at the bottom is only a few degrees above freezing. A white, squishy substance known as globigerina ooze covers the ocean floor. Glob ooze, as oceanographers call it, is a calcium sediment made of the shells of globigerina, which are tiny foraminiferal organisms. Glob ooze can be anywhere from less than an inch to a thousand feet thick. Since it is too much trouble to wash the salt out of it even to make cement, glob ooze has no commercial value. This far from land, there are few fish. A school of whales might pass by seasonally. There might be a few rattails (bottom-feeders related to the shark family) near the ocean floor.

If you could walk northeast to Australia, wearing some kind of glob-ooze shoes to keep from sinking in, as well as equipment to deal with the problems of air, light, temperature, and water pressure, you would have to cross underwater mountains of sixty-four hundred feet and descend nineteen thousand feet into valleys before you ascended Australia’s continental slope, nearly four hundred miles away. Manhattan’s antipodes lies on the southeastern branch of the Mid-Indian Oceanic Ridge, which is a Y-shaped ridge in the middle of the Indian Ocean with heights of ten thousand feet and valleys as deep as fourteen thousand feet. The Mid-Oceanic Ridge is the longest continuous feature on the earth’s surface. Dr. Bruce Heezen, of Columbia’s Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory (one of the few New Yorkers who have ever been close to Manhattan’s antipodes), made the first detailed map of the Indian Ocean floor, under the auspices of the International Indian Ocean Expedition, in the early 1960s. He says that the discovery and exploration of the Mid-Oceanic Ridge provided the conclusive proof for the theory of continental drift. “About fifty million years ago, the ridge moved through Antarctica and chipped off a huge piece—Australia—which then headed north and rotated slightly counterclockwise until it crashed into Indonesia,” he said. “It did not take long, in geological time. When we discovered that ridge, and when we found that the central and eastern Indian Ocean was much younger than the western Indian Ocean, the theory of continental drift was finally accepted. Before this discovery, if you believed in drift you couldn’t get a job. Now if you don’t you can’t.”

About the biggest thing that has ever happened near Manhattan’s antipodes happened three hundred miles away, in the course of the International Indian Ocean Expedition. A British member of Parliament, on board the Australian ship Diamantina, was mapping the ocean floor with an echo sounder that was faulty—something he did not realize. About three hundred miles southwest of Australia, he and his shipmates started getting some extremely deep soundings. They became very excited about this and later claimed to the press that they had found the deepest point in the oceans. They named their find the Diamantina Trench. When their claim was investigated, it turned out to be wrong. The Diamantina Trench, even at its deepest point, is only about twenty-two thousand feet deep, which is considerably shallower than the deepest ocean trenches.

Two of our favorite Midwestern towns—Pekin, Illinois, and Canton, Illinois—were so named because their founders thought that the towns were exactly opposite the two famous Chinese cities. Pekin Ill., and Canton, Ill., are in fact opposite points in the Indian Ocean some seven hundred miles to the west of New York’s opposite point. Most of the United States is opposite the southern Indian Ocean. There is no point in the United States where, if you drilled straight through the earth, you would come out in China. (1975)
