I thought I had Trouble yesterday.
Not Flargg got here about 4 Earth Hours ago. Not Flargg bumped the Flamfoozy Mark 7. I mean he actually pulled up and bumped our spacecraft.
This is supposed to be amusing. Ha Ha Ha.
Then guess what I hear.
Frank Zappa. Not Flargg is a Frank Zappa freak. Oh, jiminy. I'm sound asleep and I hear "Watch out where the huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow." This is supposed to be really funny.
But I can't complain too much. Not Flargg and SHORTY go way back, and Not Flargg is a genius at tweaking propulsion systems. So, if I can deal with Frank Zappa turned up to 11 on Deck 7, (which makes it sound like it's only turned up to 5 on Deck 6, where I am) then maybe Not Flargg will "enhance" our drive systems, which would be a Good Thing.
Not Flargg brought a bunch of stuff from Flamfoozy, too. Brought me a bunch of presents and stuff. Which is real nice. I have to remember these things when I hear "Return of the Son of Monster Magnet" in the middle of the friggin' night.
But that's not the bad news. The bad news is that Not Flargg used to be a borker too, just like SHORTY. Not Flargg was a borker for about two months one time but he got fired for telling people to buy mutual funds. That's not the bad news. The bad news is that Not Flargg trades options.
Now, SHORTY is, how can I say this, conceptually challenged, so he does not actually fully understand how options work. He calls them "onions". Call onions and Put onions.
I kid you not.
So now, these two Legends of Brilliance are plotting out their short term options strategy. Not Flargg is the brains, and SHORTY says he wants total control over the *name* of the strategy.
SHORTY was thinking he was going to call his onion strategy "The No Margin Way to Wealth and Extra Vehicles" but then he changed his mind and decided to call it "Norm".
He thinks this stuff is funny. And Not Flargg laughs at it. And Sid too.
Maybe I just need more rest. |
