Silicone Investor
Overview of The Company
See that big building complex down there? Well, that's the home of the Silicone Investor. Originally a "move-on" of a small duplex that the original owners bought for next to nothing, it has grown over the past 32 years to the gigantic complex you see today. With over 7,000 happy employees, the Silicone Investor is the yardstick by which other online chat lines are measured.
See the green building on the left? That`s where the Equities Market Posters are housed. They usually get in early, around 7, and get busy posting their news-`n-views for the day. When the MARKET opens, they are already two steps ahead. Those two big trailers next to the Equity Market Posters Building were added recently to expand the Free Coffee Shop. Everyone at Silicone Investor loves the Free Coffee Shop. It's all free; doughnuts, bearclaws, figs, wild rice, acidophilous, pudding, (all the good flavors), those little things that have the pizza flavored sauce inside, you name it, it's there. The Equities Market Posters work hard, and the Big Senior Executives feel that they deserve the courtesy of the Free Coffee Shop. Don't you agree?
That fuchsia colored building in the middle there is the Big General Office. Inside, you will find the latest in state-of-the-art phones and fax machines, as well as lots of really nice offices with big fans and coffee machines and everything. The tram from Parking Lot C takes you to the front door, and I don't mind telling you it's quite a nice place to be. This is where all the Big General Decisions are made, and these Big Senior Executives are not usually seen anywhere but inside the Big General Office. Unfortunately, unless you have a Level 3 Pass, you will not be allowed inside. But anyway, that's the Hub of the Entire Operation.
Over on the right you will see a large expanse of grass with what appears to be a huge stone carving of a 1968 Dodge Coronet RT. This is the SECRET UNDERGROUND TECHNOLOGY AREA. The Really Smart People all work in the SECRET UNDERGROUND TECHNOLOLGY AREA. I personally don't know how big the area is, but I do know that it was dug out in about 1972, and then covered over. I'm guessing that it is a really huge, multi-level area with lots of secret stuff and everybody is all hush hush about it. All I know is that the Really Smart People get in through the door of the Dodge Coronet. As I said, I can't tell you what is going on in there, because frankly, I don't understand what they do, and, truth be told, I've never been in there at all. I know they have their own jokes, and I think probably they make fun of all of the rest of us, and they are really smart, and they are doing all kinds of things in there that nobody understands. Anyway, I guess it's OK because they seem friendly enough in the parking lot. That lot, by the way, is right there, Lot A, the one with all the red convertibles. I like that Viper, personally.
What Do I Get For My Lifetime Subscription?
It's easier to say what you DON'T get. You don't get a lame chat line with a bunch of losers that only want to talk about sick stuff, and you can't read it anyway because the little box is too small and the lines move too fast and you cannot even tell what is going on, even if you do want to talk about sick stuff. That's 19th century technology, my fine friend. Anybody can tell you that.
What Does My Lifetime Subscription Cost?
I think it costs about two hundred bucks. It used to be free, but then the Big Senior Executives got all huffy about the Really Smart People threatening to go to the moon in their own spaceship and blasting the whole city into Very Small Particles. So they, (the money guys), had to start charging. But I personally believe that the deal is cheap at twice the price.
What Does My Money Pay For?
Most of it goes to the Really Smart People. Just a very tiny part, almost nothing at all, goes to the Big Senior Executives. But the most important thing is this: remember that commercial on TV about the little girl named Maria with No Shoes in a Foreign Land? Part of every dollar you pay goes right straight into her pocket. She is actually 31 years old now, divorced, 2 kids. So you can feel very comfortable that your money is being handled with the greatest possible care.
How Do I Get Signed Up?
Nothing could be simpler! Just start clicking your mouse, and you'll figure it out. And for all of us, let me be the first to say, "Thanks! Welcome Aboard!" |
