Message 7726131 ...And more Pinky's Tailing Box: a weekly Wednesday feature of At a Bottom Now for Gold... BASHMAN! Commissioner! This graffiti was found in one of the men's stalls in a COMEX warehouse restroom. Riddle me this Bashman: What has lower lows, and lower highs, is always shorted, yet never dies? Commissioner: The Riddler! Quick Chief, the Bashphone! Why, it's not ringing through. $ Robin: Gee Bashman, it's sure been a long time since we've heard the Bash phone ring. Do you attribute it to the fact that Clinton placed 100,000 new police officers on the beat since his first inauguration? Bashman: No, I attribute it to the fact that I forgot to mail payments to Metroplus for the last two phone bills. Alfred: Mr. Wayne, the Bash signal has been beamed across the sky. $ Commissioner: Batman, Robin, I have dire news. MDIN has traded as high as .39 today. Robin: Holy breakout Commissiner! Commissioner: Breakout indeed, Robin--we have reason to believe the Riddler to be behind this. Robin: Because of numerous rhyming clues being left behind in the charcteristic style of the Riddler? Commissioner: No, because of the latest confusing MDIN press release. Gentlemen, if Dayton, the key holding of the Wayne empire, goes under, one of Gotham's most generous and outstanding benefactors may be ruined. Bashman: We understand, Commissioner. Robin, off we go to the COMEX to search for clues... $ Batman: I didn't think the warehouse would be this big. Robin, you take the aisles with the yellow lines, and I'll take the aisles with the white lines...what's this red line here?...Riddler! Riddler: Riddle me this Bashman: What has gold and silver, oil and communications, and was acquired at a rival of Dayton's? Bashman: My JC Penney's singing pocket watch? Riddler: NPEC you fool! Hmm...I forgot the copper. Robin: So did NPEC. Riddler: No copper will ever get me. Bashman: I have here in my Bashpouch numerous warrants for your arrest on suspicion of multiple Class A felonies. Riddler: You fool! Those are Class A MDIN warrants you're holding. Bashman: Oops, wrong pouch...but I have to admit owning these risky bb stocks should be a felony. We're more than a match for you Riddler; give yourself up! Robin: Bashman, my Bashticker indicates a 100,000 block of NPEC just went over. Bashman: Who would be eggheaded enough to... Robin: Holy Grade A large, Bashman, Egghead! Egghead: Yes Bashman, I've been buying NPEC and Zappa Resources too. It's only a matter of time before you'll be forced to cover your shorts. Bashman: After being long gold for so long, I don't have anything left to cover them with. Egghead: Get them! ZONK! POW! ZAP! . WHACK! BONK! BASH! Riddler: We've beaten you at last! Egghead: We won't kill you right away. When the gavel opens bb trade in the morning, your holdings will be systematically be converted to shares of Royal Oak Mines. Robin: I thought you said you wouldn't kill us right away. Egghead: It depends on your definition of "right away." $ Robin: Bashman, was it true you didn't have the resources to cover your shorts? Bashman: Yes Robin, but I did have the resources to fill them just now. Robin: They've left us bricked into a solid mass of gold bars. We've tried for hours and there's no way out. Bashman: What's that noise? Robin: We're being dug out! Bashman: How did you know the Riddler and Egghead trapped us here to die? COMEX warehouse worker: We didn't--every Wednesday morning we move this batch from between the white lines to between the yellow lines. Robin: Holy smoke and mirrors manipulation Bashman! Bashman: We haven't any time to lose Robin--to the BB Exchange! $ Robin: We're too late--he's lifting his gavel... Bashman: Quick Robin, the Basherang! WOOSH! Bashman: I got the gavel with my Basherang! We'll undo all these trades now before they can open... Robin: And I got the Riddler and Egghead with mine! Bashman: Why, this isn't the Riddler--it's a mask...Hillary Clinton! Hillary: After cattle futures, I just couldn't stay away from speculating. Bashman: That accounts for the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy comments. Robin: And Egghead is...Bill Clinton! Bill: Let me go--haven't I already told you how sorry I was for misleading you? KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Bashman: Okay, who's the Joker with the spare gavel?
