ARe You ReaDY To ReMeMBeR...Today for the Rest of Your Life?
Apple is apparently ready to make another big announcement today. This will supposedly be yet another day that we will never forget.
This got me thinking about how many days there have been in my life so far that I will really never forget.
I vaguely remember being born. Lots of bright lights. I remember getting my first bicycle. I can remember a particular summer vacation day in New Hampshire when I was about 5 years old. I remember exactly where I was when JFK was assassinated. I don't remember the Martin Luther King or Bobby Kennedy assassinations very well. I remember seeing Jimi Hendrix live in NYC. I remember some other important days like my high school and college graduations, the days my kids were born, the day I was married...and divorced. I remember 9/11 very well, I remember the day AIG claimed they had absolutely no exposure to subprime risk and I remember the September day Lehman tanked. I remember the day Paulsen and Bernanke said we were all doomed and I remember the day Obama was elected...
What could Apple possibly be planning that we will never forget?
Can it be this?
or this?
How about this...
or maybe even this...
or this...
All of the above would probably excite me more than an Beatles/Apple music deal with iTunes or an announcement concerning live streaming iTunes. But I am not quite sure I would remember any of it for the rest of my life.
Here, however, is an event I am pretty sure I would remember at least until the next AAPL quarterly announcement...
AAPL Fight Club 2010
I remember the last time I heard this type of extraordinary claim coming from a Silicon Valley darling...
But I can't remember what it was that they announced.
AAPL...10:00 AM EST today...

faggot ism
best to you! appologies again for my failed attempts at humor?
i'm sure i'm never as funny as i think, you helped me with this.
here , for you. a potentially disturbing movie with an important
message. ? nothing personal, just thought you might appreciate?
.
A Child is Waiting, 1963 [part 1 of 7] (Judy Garland)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP85KA2l5Gk&feature=related
.
warning, this movie is very real and beyond what
most people are capable of confronting or embracing.
?
"faggots" love judy, have you heard that? and that word just sucks. it
is so full of vicious ignorance. imo.
i ain't watching no judy garland disturbing movie. probably would not appreciate no stinking disturbin movie. no thanks.
n some countries, faggot has additional meanings (all dated or rare in the U.S.): a bundle of sticks, a culinary term for herbs or seasoning added to a meal;[4] "faggot trim", a style of embroidery in clothing;[5] and faggots, which are a kind of meatball.[6] Fag also has additional meanings: slang for a cigarette (dated in the US[7]), or for hard work and chores.
morning to ya laddie, faggie.
i am faggie or fagette, i like it blindman. sometimes i just wake up on the wrong side of my bed and am mean. apologies at noon Mountain standard tribe.

You saw hendrix?

They have lots of Hendrix stuff to see at the Hall of Fame in Cleveland. It is worth a visit for R&R fans.
SRV did a twelve string video resembling this. Also nice.
Randall's Island concert, shortly before he died. A Subway concert ;-) That same concert featured Jerry Rubin ranting, Stepping Wolf, Grand Funk, Miles Davis with Tony Williams Lifetime and many others. I think Tull played as well...I was just a kid so it was a real night to remember.
And that clip you put up is awesome as is the movie. Twelve string stepped down tuning. What a haunting sound.
A nice closing to this post...
I can't believe its been watched less than 30,000 times. I've watched it at least ten of those.
What happens when ZH goes down for a split second? Here is my contribution as I captured this 'flash crash' message:
Error 503 Service UnavailableService Unavailable
Guru Meditation:XID: 1765007933
VarnishI always keep an entry off to the side I haven't read yet so as not to experience any ZH withdrawals. There is no substitute.
William, I would like to apologize for allowing CD to turn this thread into a circus. I was hoping for a carnival. Carneys are cool.
It's WB7's fault, not mine. He replies so I must reply so he replies and so on. I finally gave up after I realized this is a cesspool cleaning contest and I didn't bring my hip waders. Besides, WB7 and I are discussing a collaboration. But we decided we needed some practice first.
Your serve WB7. It's 394-393 in my favor.
" Just ask all the ZH CD haters out there. I seem to bring them out of the woodwork. I suspect they don't like to read about themselves in my long diatribes. :>)"
What's really funny is that I see that many 'CD haters' not only took the time to voice their displeasure at CD's post, but there is an 85% chance they include the: 'and I stopped reading at...' quote!!!
Just think how ticked they would have been had they lasted all the way to the end!!
LOL
That's why I call them moth trolls. Because even though they know they hate me before they start, they just can't stay away from the flame. Personally I think that's what really burns their ass, that they don't understand why they keep flying into the flame. Since it's against their constitution to blame themselves, it's gotta be the author and his flame.
My regular readers know that the key to reading CD is to skip every other paragraph and you'll still get the main theme. The poor moth trolls slog through every single word until they can't stand it any longer and scratch their eye balls out. Then they blame me. :>)
CD,
Glad to see that you kind of have the persona of the successful 'wrestling heel'... you know the crowd is going to boo, you know they might rain down cold beer (or warm urine...), you know that you look REALLY good in that bright feather boa, and then you get to go home later and cue up the backlog of VCR'd The View, but you never get down because you want people to hear your thoughts. Man... you're living the dream!
That's the beauty of having a huge ego like mine. The slings and arrows don't sting for long because I know everyone else is wrong and I'm right. You can't fight genius. :>)
(Just kidding all you CD haters. You know who you are.)
Seriously, ZH has been an education for me. If I can survive ZH I can survive anything. In fact, it's my understanding that part of the Navy Seal training program encompasses 48 hours of continuous blogging on ZH to toughen the mind against water-boarding and involuntary finger nail removal.
Kinda explains all the trolls, doesn't it? :>)
The Navy Seals reduced those requirements to only 4 hours after complaints from bloggers having to read a CD post. Which worked out well because the elapsed time of reading a CD post averaged about 4 hours.
Touche. Torture by any definition. :>)
So is it fair to say that I have solved the troll problem here on ZH? That's got to be worth a few dollars to the ZH readership. Can you say donations to the "Keep CD here" fund? Don't mess with me guys or I'll go away. Then you'll really regret it.
BTW always remember that I suffer the most since I have to actually write my own crap. Don't hate CD, hate the CD haters. :>)
Well, if you solved the troll problem like #44 solved the job/economy problem...
Maybe if you wore a lower wattage feather boa .... or at least earings that matched?
The "Keep CD here" idea might fly, but the 'here' would most likely be a cryogenic chamber.
You know, so future generations can put up with, I mean, enjoy your work too! It will be dated and fresh at the same time!!!
LLLLLLOOOOOOLLLL!!
oops
Bruce is talking about some pretty important stuff over on his thread and we're over here having a good time.
And I don't feel the least bit guilty.
LOL!!
It is a real live version of the priest in the porn shop, only the priest is paid to go in there. ;-)
I think we can relax and watch the brawl that is about to break loose up in the thread. Your serve
william, i am trying to change back to my geisha mask picture, but damn ZH won't let me. can you help? it is a lot nicer, then my chest with my third eye. i got my sword lesson again today. hopefully my new purchased sword will be in next week. can you and i collaborate on something?
Edit: william, is that your wallpaper.ØØØ3 for your iphone†
What type of sword are you getting? I keep a Seppuku sword (Wakizashi) handy...but have only had to use it a few times.
Whoops.....now may a good time to put it to use:)

Get a dry suit, you'll be able to go deeper.
This was no circus, this was no carnival either, this was our freak show with certain financial aspects ;-)
And the pictures are already circulating on the West Coast ;-) ;-)
"This was no circus, this was no carnival either"
Let's hear what Tom Hanks has to say about that topic @ 3:40; and what he says earlier @ 3:20 goes without saying.... but bears repeating!!!

BTW, he's at his filming Forrest Gump currently tip-top shape...
And easily the funniest and best of Tom's Letterman appearances.
"And the pictures are already circulating on the West Coast ;-) ;-)"
"When I make a mistake, it goes coast-to-coast." Don't know where I heard this, but I wear it as a badge of honor.
Palin?
god damn it, CD, now it's ruined.
I've been a wet blanket all my life. Why stop now when the fun's just starting?
The stress of QE II withdrawal is taking its toll. Mr. Shrunk Nutt??? WB7, you're running amok!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZFYcJeuakg&feature=related
No it is not shrunk nut it is shrunk bullock...and he earns every bit of whatever gets dished to him
Bill, I hope you have TSA scanners on your agenda. Maybe we need robo-signer/robo-court/robo-title scanners???
http://img.trekmovie.com/images/merchandise/pmst09/BridgePlaysetCompressed.jpg
Now I am thinking I am going to run Bernanke et al through the scanners.
Just do it!
I have been monitoring that situation, but I don't want to be on the no fly list ;-)
No way, William, cuz you are so fly!
Oh, wow, over on the right it's teasing latest news from RAN Squawk, and I thought it said:
11-16 13:17: Fed's Bulltard says he's concerned about disinflation trend.
Why, just the other day I was explaining my newly enhanced vernacular, courtesy of Zerohedge, to my husband and the word that day was: fucktard. Now, Bulltard!
I learn so much here.
Wait......Bulltard? When did I miss this little gem? :>)
BTW please be careful. WB7 even in small doses is hazardous to your Ponzi health.
Hi lilim, stop in more often...you are always welcome in this space ;-)
Dude, you're already on the no fly list. They just let you fly because it makes them feel omnipotent......err......impotent?
Here we call it the no fry wrist
