The full walrusi was first described by the much revered Grand Poohbah and High GOOFI himself, the founder of the GOOFI thread - Paul Weiss. He was attempting to warn (ahem) certain overly enthusiastic members of his tribe about certain facts in stock trading life. Its all in the ancient archives of the GOOFI thread, it was a more magical time than now.<g> If you really get serious about the Guam trip, by all means let me know. There is only one airline that services the Hawaii/Guam leg, which is the only reasonable route. The other line goes thru Narita and the layover sucks. Anyway, my wife's travel agency has an exclusive relationship with that former airline and she can can sell the tickets at the best rate due to the discount given them by the airline. Its a Guamanian backscratching thing. A couple years back I went searching around the astronomical web sites and came up with one that shows the relative track of the earth over time through the cometary tail track. It indicated the best years for viewing are now behind us, and we'll probably not experience a true storm for another 30 years at least. But there is always hope, for the market just may rise and the meteor storms just may return...

The Tale of the Walrusi In '96 or '97, there was a news clip on CNN that featured a herd of walruses on a beach, a beach with a cliff rising just behind it. For reasons known only to walrus cognoscenti, the walruses were waddling up a trail to the top of the cliff, in a long line, and then were plunging off it to their deaths. This, of course, was greeted with great guffaws by Janice Shell, who brought to our attention the striking similarity between walrusi behavior and that of a lot of the stocks we owned. Lemmings may fly off cliffs, but walrusis do it with a much bigger splat. And since we couldn't agree on just what the plural of 'walrus' ought to be, we sort of settled on walrusi.
