Week 5, day 3

Week 5 - Traffic Jam
day 3 - Hey, quit shoving!!!!

IIC just refuses to take it out of reverse. I guess he likes to lead with his best feature. let-it-ride is choking that chinese chicken instead of riding it. And skiracer is finding out that nobody wants what he's got to sell. Vista or not, ParkTwain is going pretty darn fast. Fast enough to edge out Karel for second, but not fast enough to beat RL on his skateboard for the lead. Those bikini chicks are said to be hotter than riverbabe, but peanuts doubts that... Gatorman is off on the right foot after looking over his GPS. It looks like Spikefader may have stepped on a nail during his jog. Websman can't stop spinning his wheels; That hot-rod will get moving soon enough. Rob just found out that he doesn't have brakes.

No he was the type of guy that would bend over to help you.
He also told me that you used to beg him to give you Stockboys private phone # but that he wouldn't. And that you were the reason that Stockboy left this forum.

I knew you and Adman were in close contact... and by close, I mean...

[skiracer]

That's not what Adman told me... and he's a stand-up guy

Thanks Rob, I used your spreadsheet format from back in the day to tweak this scorecard.



Just remember who loves you, ski-daddy

Skiracer not that way!

I have to agree with you Rob. Peanuts finally listened to reason and put the list in order. It takes alot more time though to do it this way without your code. Now he'll appreciate just how hard it is to keep score.

The sorting part is easy. Getting all the correct numbers and figures is the tricky bit.

Once you've got all the stuff you need, the sorting in descending order is just a matter of selecting any cell in the column you want to sort (within the range of rows that have the values to sort) and clicking the button. (At least, that's what the button looks like on my version of Excel (2000).)

Hey, Peanuts. Two thumbs up on your scorekeeping efforts in general and especially for now ordering the players in descending order of weekly gain. Much easier to read that way. Thanks!

I thought you put me in FORG Ski?

You know I can't do that and that wasn't my original intention. Only Peanuts has that kind of power over us.
I tried to let you have it. You said you thought you wanted to play it again so I backed out of it and took AOB. But you were a bad guy and didn't respond to Peanuts post asking you what you wanted to do. Now Peanuts held you out of it and the POTW this week and without another pick you're down another 3% again this week it looks like. FORG definitely hasn't been good to you. I waited for you to make a decision on it and when you didn't I figured you didn't want it. I thought it was going to go off yesterday but no cigar. Now it looks like I'm holding the bag unless it does what I figured it to do this week. I wish I hadn't tried to be a nice guy and had taken it like I wanted to do on Monday. I would have been in at 1.23 and would be in first place right now up about 6.5%. It looks like we both made a mistake.

Peanuts,
Sell AOB and buy FORG long please.

Hey Doug, how 'bout that Carl Icahn, eh?

Give the knife one more twist Park.

At least I didn't trade it in real life.

Actually, it worked out well for a friend of mine though...I told her over the weekend to bail on MOT...But she didn't listen. Well, she was able to get out today with a small profit.

week 5, day 2

week 5 - Traffic Jam
day 2 - horns a-blowin

IIC can't seem to get out of reverse. He's on his way to Altria HQ to get a new camera that was lost in the fire. So far, he has trouble focussing. NBB is grinding his gears. Once he learns to use the clutch, he might get moving in his VW Bug. Skiracer stopped at Lyehopper's house and dropped off the skunky backpack and made a decent profit, but his new venture trying to sell Lyehopper's famous FORG's does not seem to working out for him. Let-it-ride rode his rooster, ICOC, for all it was worth on his way to the race track... a skinned knee and bruised chin is all he really got. That's OK, now he's got a chinese chicken that will get him there for half price. Karel keeps to his bike and just like the old saying... never forgot how to ride it. He's in third place on his way to church. RL slowed down a little to show the kids some new tricks he learned on his skateboard, but he's still in 2nd. And our new leader is ParkTwain. Rumors have spread that he's using the new Vista system and that's why he is so fast... Speaking of fast, Websman cought a little traction, but his tires are still spinning. He's moved a little from the starting line. Scifos' dog is back on its feet.
