Hi elpolvo! Thanks in this venue, as well... ...for the birthday greetings...I want to log an official request ... perhaps with these "market makers" would be the ideal 'place' to do so ... you know, they have 'connections,' perhaps ... the network is possibly stronger than that of 'god' himself ... LOL! Request is to move the date of my birthday to a more bullish month. Gene? Can you help me out here? Since you sit at -- what is it -- the RIGHT hand of 'god?' Or would that be at the LEFT? See what you can do about that, if you don't mind ... Might prove more on the credibility front <g> b-i-a ###

I don't think you want to talk about me like that... I'm not your everyday average kind of guy you know. In fact let me share an example with you , of just how far reaching my powers are... Every time I go to a McDonalds...any Mcdonalds...I say "Hi, I'm Isoman" looking at the counter help with a look that says "and you all know what that means..." "And I would like a double Quarter pounder with cheese and NO ONIONS or Pickles" And they said No problem Isoman, we'll make you up one fresh just for you... Oh yeah, they do it. I know you don't believe it, but they do. In Fact...and I shouldn't even repeat this, but what the heck... One time I asked for the double, but they only made a single (a rookie...oh they fired him I am sure)...and I mentioned it to the manager...in a matter of fact way, mind you, as the little things don't bother me (except onions...yukkkko) and they gave me... A FREE GIFT CERTIFICATE FOR A DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER WITH CHEESE MEAL So there you go bucko ,that is the fury and power that you are messing with....

REGARDING ISOMAN BEING A COMEDIAN... While it may be against the SEC's rules to explain how you can tell someone is or is not a comedian on SI, I am going to risk it here anyway: (1) His posts are funny. That is usually a good sign that the poster actually IS a comedian. (2) There is a conspiracy that he may not actually be writing his own material, but pawning it off of someone else. The conspiracy theorists also believe that when they read his posts, their laughter was being caused by the MM's forcing them to laugh and not what ISOMAN actually posted. I don't know how this is proof that his is a comedian except that the whole theory is kind of funny, and comedians are funny too. Therefore, he MUST be a comedian. (3) Some people don't get his humor. While this is never the sign of a GOOD comedian, at least it is acknowledged that he was trying to be funny (just like a real comedian). OK...OK... Let's face it... I am no comedian EITHER, but I do appreciate humor mixed with the subject matter that too often is tied with our EVERY wish and desire, and thus taken too seriously in the scheme of things. On that note I just want to say thank you to ISOMAN and the other 'comedians' on this thread who have really helped lighten up the topic. Keep it up! All the best, -- Gene
