(See Disclosure at end) Jed, its great to know you got INFO on the "Stock Improvement" Show broadcast live from your High Rocky Mountains front forty! Whose Turn Will Be Next To Name That Ticker!? So now two Manipulators, er I mean, Stock Improvement Specialists, are in the Organization and calling for more....Midwest, Plains, Southerners, Southwest, Northwest, South Pacific Coast, and AK and HI...Franchisees, er I mean Volunteers, with a roof or a yard from these areas are needed for expansion of coverage! The start-up costs next to nothing, Right, Jed?! After I got it going I upgraded to semi-permanent Ticker Letters out of refrigerator carton sides painted white with the black letter on 'em. They take up half the garage but afterall this ain't the "Home Improvement" Show. Manipulating The Stocks with the right equipment for the job takes up considerable room & minimum time/effort. A cheap wide paintbrush, a can of black paint, and signs from Butcher paper taped together is a great start-up - a friendly butcher will give it out for free especially if hearing the magic word Please for dog bones & paper for artwork alongside the prime chops. Soon will use some profits to commission a Big NY Ad-Biz Agency (maybe the same one that's running that Internet Majors Announcement tomorrow, if they get lucky) to make huge permanent Ticker Letters from plastic to upgrade appearance and durability. An aerial view of the Ticker Du Jour works on the subliminal level for the masses and the direct level for the pilots and others of the in-crowd. Because the airline passengers only see the ticker for a millisecond, the advertisement is subliminal. Same Theory as those one-frame (supposed to be banned but LOL they're all over the place) subliminals in the movie theatre that are the Only Explanation of why any rational adult orders ice creme bon bons, popcorn, soda, and a big box of candy right after dinner to munch through a movie only to say "Bu-Wep" while reading the end credits. Precedent established at theaters, and then flight passengers watching a movie look out the window without popcorn in hand...well, to fill that hollow space and give a feeling of satisfaction to all folks not just investors is a public service in itself anyway. It's Elementary that the subliminal ticker flash is doubleplusgood vehicle for DOTCOM'S Souvenir Shop. It's the odewebsnay, the otc IPO-nets, the zaps, the i-auctions scaring EBya, & the promised-next-week pore-talls gar-ron-teed to make yhaoo and amzaone tremble that we won't be offering through Techride. Or well, if it looks good for quack$, maybe just sometimes right Jed? The satellites like the Ticker Cards too; or I Hope it's satellites that shines that bright light on 'em if they're left out after dark! Nanhu-Nanhu, Joan Disclosure - I'm paranoid so I think this is best - THIS IS AN APRIL FOOLS PRANK. "April Fools Day Is Now Past So I'm The Biggest Fool At Last." The Franchise Offer above is a joke because it seemed like fun at the time. Hope I won't regret my poor judgement someday, but somehow I doubt it. Holding shares in xInfox, xYhoox, xAmznx, and I am also one of the walking wounded of xZapx - paid my dues so I know what I'm talking about here. I want to Own An Actual Piece Of The Internet, and I always look for tickers in backyards when I'm bored with the movie on the airplane. I hate it when everyone hollers at me to close the shade in the middle of the day. But that's another story.

Blue, and mea culpa me too - I'm glad I held onto enough AOL.... Proud Of Ya fer fessin' up, I know it wasn't easy, but heeding the siren call of them 909 Buckaroos is the only thing you could have done under the circumstances! And the bigger it gets, the more the share price goes up, the more it S#CKS, the more it bullies, the bigger it screws up... the more folks are drawn to it like a magnet! Like Microsoft, Mc Donalds, Kraft (bleech velveeta, mayo, and salad dressing), Wendy's (bleech food also they'll give ya a baked potato without a fork if you don't watch 'em), Dennys, IHOP ("Bu-Wep"), Campbells, American Express, P & G, etc...Now AOL joins The Blue Chip Consumer Product Big Leagues for sure, It Dares To S#CK And More Than Getting Away With It - now that it's Goliath. But using it as a provider and putting up with its abuse, and then complaining about that Buckaroo all the way to the bank, is IMHO half the fun. Speaking Of....CPQ... If/when they spinoff AltaVista do you think it's a fair bet the shareholders won't get the shaft on the IPO? I bought more too, knowing it's a win/win even if they "Do It To It" because the thing would fly for a 3 day wonder at least before and at the news, before the details sink in, like Netscape did, even when/if they give the investors the ole baccala. The Baccala is what BLUE thinks he should get for buying AOL, not to mention CPQ (let's go after both those boils at once, whaddya say)... Nah, Blue, you did what you had to do....and so did I. ("The Baccala") - Italian expression for "a whack upside the head with a dead codfish". AND NOW FOR YOUR PENANCE MY SON...MANDATORY FOR CLOSURE... New Movie Five-Star Recommendation ***** - 4 EVERYONE A MUST-SEE "Analyze This" - It's one of those to go see in the Theatre to laugh along with the crowd - and just buy your bonbons, buttered popcorn, and soda after a big dinner, then laugh and say "Bu-Wep" and leave the mess, don't bother wondering why!!! Just like buying AOL and CPQ, knowing you'll be rewarded for putting up with knowing you own it...It's knowing you'll ROFL at Robert De Niro's Mafia Don being shrunk by The Terrified Doc that's a no-brainer - "Trust Me!" Abracadabra and Open Sez Me, You're In No-Guilt Land Once Again, Blue... I resemble that remark, feel your pain, come a'running... Hey, What are pals for? Joanie
