Amber Alert

I can't breathe down here, someone get off the heap

Mr. Goober Peas, if you hadn't said that I might not have noticed that somehow Van McCoy (a.k.a. StckyTreat) didn't appear on the not-yet-spaghetti-like Neon Spaghetti Chart.

Don't worry, Van, we've plastered your mug on every milk carton, put out an amber alert for you, and released the hustler-sniffing hounds. My guess is you will be found by the next posting.

Rob,
Twice whilst viewing the POTW thread, your avatar flashed another image so quickly I couldn't make out what it was. With your advanced computer knowledge are you sending subliminal messages that might effect the thought process of contestants ? Not that there's anything in the rules against it.

Rockin Rob,

Sell AP, I think I'll just sit here in Ca$h for the rest of the week and lick my wounds. AP fell below the 50 dma. bad bad bad...

Thanks, Ski, but ....

Well I wouldn't expect him to do it for us because we know better but Mary or any other individual new to the game and the rules could be allowed one oversight such as this. But no big deal in my mind one way or another.

Thanks for putting in a good word for me, Ski, but I had the rules pointed out to me during the first or second week I played when I tried making a pick for the following week one-half hour before market close on Friday. So I know the rules. Not only that but to be very fair, I think Rob should stick with what he told me back then -- no bending the rules, not even for family. I'm OK with it.

[Rob]

I think Rob should stick with . . . no bending the rules.

I knew you would be okay with it. I also knew you know me well enough to not expect it. I think that's a manifestation of our German genetic heritage.

That was prettly slick, Webs. I think some of Captain Kirk's "trickiness" must've rubbed off on you from all that time the two of you spent chasing around through intergalactic space.

Week 48 (9), Day 2

If there's any doubt about who's king of the jungle this week, then Da Mighty Kong has just burned away some of the clouds. But can he continue his rampage? Aha! That's the question that no one can yet answer!

I always knew that anyone with green blood and pointed ears would just HAVE to be a sneaky cuss, and the Vulcan, Websman, did much to solidify that notion in my mind, by shorting MED, that has had an amazing run, and then cashing out two minutes before the bell! Like I said, too much galavanting around the universe with that sneaky Cap'n Kirk!

When I was a kid growing up, I always thought that the Flying Dutchman was Honus Wagner, the great shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1897 to 1917, one of the greatest ballplayers in history. But the way our resident Dutchman, Karel, came flying out of negative territory to land solidly in the bronze spot, now I'm beginning to wonder.

Three more full trading days will tell the final story though. So stick around!

It's all about the VTP...

Nice job DMK and Karel! Let's see if we can retain our top spots.
