I thought that idiot was bankrupt.

Well who would know better about making money

than someone who’s had to do it more than once? If it’s any consolation, he’s wearing a Phillies cap.

So I should trust the competence of a guy who can't even get his website to work

in an Opera browser? Also, you only go 140 to 0 if you’re rigging the outcome by not counting buys that didn’t go your way.

Wow, some people never quit, do they?

How many potential investors are actually stupid enough to invest with this assclown?

Is this for real?

Why would he seriously chose to have that Nightline segment? Hindsight makes the whole segment down right laughable.

The whole schpiel about how his broker lost a million and change of his retirement money made me wonder how many people had the same conversation with him last year.

Then you have Jim Cramer being heaping praise on him. I am not sure if anyone can really take anything he says on TV seriously.

Yet nails choses to use this as a selling point on his website? It can’t be true….I hope.

Its funny that the second Nightline segment is not on the site.

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Embiggen here.
Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college. 

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.
