Rib tranche
Sirloin tranche
all the way down to the - appropriately enough -
Shank tranche.
Goldman has a tranche labeled "filet mignon", but when I got it, it was a can labeled "smashed cow assholes". But Moody's assured me it was definitely filet inside...
Ya, in Pennsylvania that stuff is called Scrapple....

Oh! And sticky buns and black coffee for breakfast. I miss it. I do.
For a bit of the old country. Not many folks here would know of Scrapple there Wings of an amphibean. :)

Que diriez-vous ces spéculateurs mal?
Lil' Nick Sarkozy is gonna be real angry. Napoleon II.

Good stuff Cheeky. Keep 'em coming.
+ $1231 Gordon. What a great day.
A Haiku:
Cheeky writes something.
Chumba & Gordon jump in,
The gang is all here!
(need your comments too Hulk and others!)
I'm waitin on that drink. Did you crack the Absinthe yet?
Hulk, I have not yet opened it. It is still freezer waiting for an excuse to opened.
YOU were the one who suggested a drink at $1500, so we have to wait (not long I hope).
And if we reach our pal fofoa's number ($55,000, round it down to $50k), then we figure how to go on a bender.
Still waiting for the big shindig.
Say! Look who has shown up today. Bashing gold as usual.
Hey Master Bates!
Oh my gosh! You'll never drink again!
BTW, 55000?!?!? LMMFAO!
If gold goes to 55000, I'll GIVE you my gold.
Hemingway's favorite drink: Death in the Afternoon
1 part Absinthe, 5 parts champagne; add ice, and sip, sloooooowly. And, enjoy an 8 oz. fillet that you just purchased with your 1/117.5th ounce of gold.
Bah!

What effect is the Absinthe supposed to have? or is it taste?
In the olden days, it was rumoured that the "wormwood" used to produce Absinthe was a mild hallucinogenic. But the modern stuff doesn't contain it. I just drank a bottle and absolutely nothing..
oohh.. look at the colours.
in the old days absinthe (and most other rotgut) had all kinds of nasty crap in it. it is not hallucinogenic at all, but 106 proof isnt bad, it will get you drunk, not tripping.
i've got a bottle of Kubler (swiss); cut it 3:1 with water and a little sugar; tastes like liquorish, kind of like sambuca. mess you up real good.
I think the real Absinthe had a compound called thujone. It messes with the mind, also mildly toxic. Only a few years ago did France let them make it, but without the fun stuff. I cannot imagine that Italy would make the real thing.
it still does.. the states just allow like 30% of what the real amount is in parts of Europe
now, if there was a way to condense a few bottles of it....
Not true... This is just one of many firms since 2007 dude.

Absinthe makes the tart grow fonder.
Absinthe effect is very similar to many shots of tequila, except that you wake up with a paintbrush, typewriter and violin instead of a hot blonde.
Take your pick...

Beautiful, chevron that was sure funny. Cheers and thanks to all of you, its a wonderful life even screwed up as it is. Without all of you as support (yes you all are) I might well doubt what i know and am still learning here.I was extremely ignorant on societal matters until a couple years ago. Never learned any history, in fact didnt learn squat in shool allways on the run.
There is no other website as welcoming, challenging, informative and news breaking as Zerohedge.
thanks much.
Like Chev said, chasing Le Fee Verte can be a trip. Drip. Drip. Drip. As can those wonderful club bound tshooters. peace
Zero Hedge is the best blog
and has best commenters of all
blogs.

So we're looking at 16 cows per ounce of gold? Amusingly, that tracks the historical ratio for gold:silver ;)
I am Chumbawamba.
No amount of gold will be able to purchase anything when this thing finally rolls over Chum. It will be as value-less and inutile as pyrite. The bars will make great paper weights, however.
Actually about right - in many medieval societies, a cow could be had for an ounce of silver.
I'm going to short my cows and rape all of you in the beef markets. Bwah-ha-ha-ha.
And I've got one moooore, head of caaattle. But I'm not gonna let them catch me no, not gonna let them catch the mid night raaancher!
and I presume your head of cattle would be tied to the Whipping Post?
And watched by Jessica.
And his cupboards are full of Mountain Jam.
but he Ain't Wastin' Time No More ... oh no
More like 17.5 cows/ an ounce. I ain't sellin' till it gets to at least 1000 cows/ounce.
saw an add in our local rag today. Cow for sale, expecting calf in summer, 1,000.00.
Another add said , free -llama ,you pick up. Wishing i had more than my 3/4 acre.
your post on the iceland volcano (great) should have mentioned the possible results of oil droplets mixed with the ash falling on americas bread basket. lets not forget that it is hurricane season in the southeast and its not unusual for these systems to bring pelicans as far as canada.
the question is, how many eggs will an ounce of gold buy?
.
I hear that,er HERD that
By that time you won't be able to take physical delivery. But if you could pull it off it'd be a heckuva story.
