Oh Yeah

 

This is where I'm going to buy my bitcoin.

Nothing could go wrong here.

Yeah, I'll have a Slurpee, two Snickers and a couple of bitcoins.

"That will be $38,000."

And while we're at it, let's see what that lover loser Sherman is up to today.....

  

More Crypto Fun

When Sherman starts buying Crypto, I'm out!

I Already Knew That

 

That's why I, in addition to putting the seat down like a good guy always does, always put the lid down.

[Just another PSA from the crack Arnotti Thoughts team.]  

Hey, Everybody's Getting Into The Act

 

That Didn't Take Long

 

After saying for weeks that they didn't do anything wrong (they being mop haired Crypto King Sam Bankman-Fried,  his randy Chinese-harem loving now ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison and FTX cofounder Gary Wang) Ellison and Wang have now pleaded guilty.

Gee....do you think that's because they cut a deal to sing on their former boyfriend/boss?

Sources say Ellison was facing up to 110 years in prison for her role. 

Wow, I guess I'd rat out my boss, too.

As long as my boss was a mop-haired vegan named Sam and not a mob boss named Sammy The Bull. 

This will soon get very real for media darling SBF.  Stay tuned......

Not long ago a merchant found a lot of monkeys that lived near a certain village. One day he came to the village saying he wanted to buy these monkeys. 

He announced that he would buy the monkeys at $100 each.  The villagers thought that this man must be crazy. How can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each?  

Still some people caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave $100 for each monkey.

This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold them to the merchant.

After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys at $200 each.

The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys. They sold the remaining monkeys at $200 each.

The merchant then announced that he will buy monkeys for $500 each.

The villagers start to lose sleep. They caught six or seven monkeys which was all that was left and got $500 each.

The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement.

Then the merchant announced that he is going on holiday for a week, but when he returns, he will buy monkeys at $1000 each! He also said that his employee will be in charge, and would take care of the monkeys he bought pending his return.

The merchant went on holiday.

The villagers were frantic and very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell at $1000 each as was promised by the merchant.

Then the merchant's employee contacted them and told them that he would secretly sell them some monkeys at $700 each.

The news spread like wildfire. As the merchant promised on his return that he would buy monkeys at $1000 each, they would achieve a $300 profit for each monkey. The next day the villagers queued up near the monkey cage.

The employee sold all the monkeys at $700 each. The rich bought monkeys in large lots. The poor borrowed money from money lenders and bought the rest of the monkeys.

The villagers took care of their monkeys and waited for the merchant to return. 

However nobody came! Then they ran to find the employee. And he was not to be found.

The villagers then realized that they had been duped into buying the useless stray monkeys at $700 each, and were now unable to sell them.

This monkey business is now known as Bitcoin!

Stay tuned tomorrow for an even crazier story......

Didn't Need To

 

Was This Man Visiting From Florida?

 

"Have you been drinking, sir?"

So Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were setting up a RIDE check (RIDE = Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) at midnight yesterday in Caledon, northwest of Toronto.

When all of a sudden a white car smashes into the cruiser.

That's like the fish jumping in the boat.  

That's Going To Leave A Mark

Very Florida Man'ish, though. Well done. 

Kinda Cute

 

[Click to see better]

Great Idea!

 

Wasn't sure what to make of these when I first saw them.

But then realized, you just pop them in your mouth! 

So if you ever find you're not near a bar (shudder the thought) just have a bunch of these in your pocket. 

You get 100 for $10.

Brilliant. 

Not Going Down Without A Fight

 

This mighty oak tree - okay, maybe it's a poplar - refuses to be dragged into the stream below.

This picture zooms in on his efforts.

While trees all around and above him have succumbed to nature's relentless pull,  and the ground has collapsed beneath him, he and his roots are determined not to suffer the same fate of so many of his brethren.

And below is the raging stream beneath him.

[Our hero is in the centre at the top]

Okay, this doesn't doesn't look like a raging torrent.  For now.

But in the spring, the melt waters coursing through the river bed wipe out much of what is in their path.

And the ravine trees are not the only ones in potential peril.

You're Next

Expensive mansions line the upper banks of the ravine.

Many with extensive - and expensive - concrete shorings under their foundations.

They, too, aren't gong down without a fight.

Let's see who lasts the longest; our hero, the mansions, or Mother Nature.

I think I know who Vegas is picking......
