  1. Fuck Brian Kilmeade. Moron. 


    Had no idea he has a radio program.

    Probably some really highbrow shit, I wouldn’t be able to follow. “Well that concludes our 3 part series on Harrington and Locke’s influence on the federalist papers. Special thanks again to program frequenter and Professor of American history and classical republicanism expert Dr. Guy MacGuy for stopping by. Coming up after the break - Does Trump poop miniature American flags that smell like Freedom from loving our country TOO much? I report. You decide.”

  2. 1) Monty Hall, it amazes me that so many people still don’t understand it after years of being taught in schools.

    2) not gambol related: but I loathe the way news covers percentage increase and decrease.

    “Median housing prices fell 25% from 2008 to lows last year, but largely recovered, rallying 18% since the valley” No Mr. Editor, 25-18 = 6 doesn’t mean they’re at 94% of their initial price. 0.75 x 1.18 = 0.885. But simpler than that is the amount of times you see 100% or 200% increases misused in print.

  3. I took my daughters to Colorado a couple weeks ago and as we drove through West Texas they were exposed to Allsup’s for the first time.
    After one stop my 14 year old said “I’d never even taste a burrito from there.” And I said “But  you’ve used the bathroom, so in a sense you already have.”

  4. Yeah was going to say to diversify may look at a large cap ETF. I own some ishares HDV which may be what you’re looking for large cap with dividend, but it has been dogging a lot lately lcompared to some other Dividend ETFs mutual funds offered.

     

    Just check ratios and find which one has the most JNJ or MMM or whatever your looking for.

     

    ETA: lulz, Proshares S&P 500 offering is “Aristocrats” (DVY)

  5. Welp, time to get to work. Y’all take care, I need to mobilize some people 


    Condolences to lots of folks needed in that area. We fly out of Lake Charles to man some western gulf assets.

    Was on call this morning loosely working mobilization schedule like I’ve done countless times, when a 50 year old man broke down in tears. “Maybe not Monday, maybe not next week, maybe not this year...Lord help me, fuck! ...I can’t do this right now. Y’all call me later”

    Rough as hell.

  6. branding.

     

    That’s it. Branding and knowledge.

     

    8th Wonder tries to capture some of that rah rah Houston momentum in their branding also, but then they aren’t backed by AB InBev and to my knowledge may not be available at any Houston sports stadium.

     

    Used to visit their tap room a ton when we were in Spring Branch, but haven’t paid for any of their beer and think I’ve drank 2 or 3 from neighbors.

     

    Literally thousands of suburban dads in Houston that would list themselves as “craft beer drinkers” that would have some top 3 combo of Hopadilla, Crawford, and Love Street (maybe throw in a LawnMower or Elissa) because that’s what the Mrs. has grabbed weekly at HEB forever.

     

    (Avatar disclaimer: No Way, why should I change? He’s the one who sucks.)
