WORLD BIGGEST DGI IDIOT!! (by far)

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Absolutely unfrickingbelievable.

I just hear this financial wizard Bob Brinker spill his guts about what he thought about the implications of Y2K, and I cannot believe what an idiot this jerk is! I am still dumbfounded.

He accused those who are preparing of "hoarding", "scare tactics", and said that we are "spinning our wheels" because the stock market remains unchanged. As if the stock market is more important than our survival!!

He also said that he didn't want to even mention the name of a particular economist who predicted a recession (Ed Yardeni), because it would be "too embarrasing." He said the whole thing is just a "scam."

Does anyone know if there is a transcript or audio file available? You won't believe this guy!

Get your printer and darts ready because this guy is a FIRST CLASS F**CKING JERK!!! (an ugly sonofabitch too!)

hmmmmm, I wouldn't kick this guy out of bed for eating crackers. I've seen worse. Hawk, why don't you post your picture? hahahaha

Hawk, about 1-1/2 months ago he was calling a bear market to begin and go on for a long time. He said the bubble has to burst sometime. He was sounding doom and gloom. I can't remember which thread it was, but I posted something about the bad news he was spilling out and a few others commented on the same thing. He was definately doom and gloom on the stock market. When the market goes up he always puts down the "bad news bears."

P.S. He pushes the Montgomery Funds too--that's a big joke too.

Found it! Here is a radio station that puts up the archives after the show, so I'll let you know when it shows up, if he has the guts to put it up. It was around 1 hour and 15 minutes into the show, and he talked about 10 minutes on the subject.

Mr. Money Brain's archives

It's like someone removed this guy's brain and put a cash register in its place. You've got to hear it!

On the other hand, we now see who is the BIGGEST GI IDIOT (by far).

You loser Hawk. I can't believe you chose such a strong handle because it's obvious that you're just a big jerk. How about you change that to greasy vulture.

And while you're at it, get the hell off this forum with your bullshit!

Sysops.... YOU STILL OUT THERE? WE NEED A DELETE

Hawk,

Mind sharing how to post a picture?

-- the Virginian (1@1.com), November 14, 1999.



You are just way toooooooo funny Hawk!

In the answer box you can add html. So you can add links, pictures, or whatever you can do in html.

Virginian,

Sure, it's easy. You have to use Netscape to copy the image location, because that's just another one of those ways that Microsucks likes to restrict our abilities. If you don't have it, download it free. When you find the image you want, just right click it and choose "copy image location." Then, when you do your post you just paste it into the image tag like this:

(img src="http://www.abcradio.com/images/brinker1.jpg")

Except instead of parentheses you use these < and > on each end. Don't forget the quotation marks before and after the URL.

You also need to put a couple breaks between your text and images, which is just (br), but again, < > instead of ( ).

Yep Sea Gull....!

Only a Mormon Chicken can lay those big dollops on the fly! Now that you are sqwaking! Bend you wings to the south, west,east or north; and find some one who gives a care for your noise

Thats called Capitalism, isn't it? :)

Yeah, I heard the broadcast, too. He also said that those who continue spreading this groundless fear are selling supplies and should be ashamed. He called it a scam.

Hey, that looks like Hugh Heffner 30 years ago!

look

Hawk,

Explorer will allow copying the source URL with no problem.

1) Place mouse cursor over the picture.

2) RIGHT click. A menu box opens.

3) Select PROPERTIES (LEFT click). Look for the URL of the pic to the left of ADDRESS.

4) Place the mouse cursor over the URL.

5) RIGHT click, then select "SELECT ALL"

6) RIGHT click again over the URL, then sellect "COPY".

7) The URL is now on the clipboard. Just go to where you want to paste it in, and select EDIT/PASTE on your browser window. Works fine.

Dennis,

You're right, that works too, I was not aware you could do it that way. Seems kinda complicated though, like they are intentionally trying to discourage it, instead of just putting it on the first right click like Netscape.

I use to always prefer Netscape because Explorer was always having javascript errors, but now both browsers seem equally capable and I guess I only slightly prefer Netscape for doing the image thing.

Thanks for that tip.

Oh my it works..... he is getting uglier by the minute.

Thanks for the lesson.

-- the Virginian (1@1.com), November 15, 1999.


Hawk -- and Netscape is NOT a Microsucks product.

I am really surprised that Brinker was a bear at all in the recent past. I listen to him so infrequently, I missed that phase. To me, he has always been the "Money" magazine of the air. "Good times forever, keep invested, 401K, IRA, bla bla bla."

-- A (A@AisA.com), November 15, 1999.


Bwaaaahhhaaaahhaaahahaa!!

Way to go Virginian, I knew you could do it!

Sure hope they put up that audio on the show - you guys will LOVE this one!

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 15, 1999.


$1,000,000,000,000.00 to try and fix it. Plus at least that in legal costs. One heck of a scam huh?

Tick... Tock... <:00=

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), November 15, 1999.


A, - did I say Netscape was Microsoft? If I did it was a mistake, I've known that since my first days on the net. No, I was saying that the Microsucks browser "Internet Explorer" is kinda screwed because it is more difficult to copy image links.

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 15, 1999.

Yeah, Albert Einstein was a real beauty; Stephen Hawking is absolutely gorgeous.

It's a pretty stupid, brain-dead emotional kindergartener who calls a person's physical beauty into question when appraising their mental qualifications.

Did you hear that, Hawk?

-- Chicken Little (panic@forthebirds.net), November 16, 1999.


Hey Chicky, who said anything about physical beauty? This guy is ugly ALL the way through. If you dont' believe me give him a listen:

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=001mOC

He is mentally qualified, if what you are looking for is a human calculator, but spiritually he's on the same wavelength as Satan. Of course you're probably one of those Wall Street shooters so you just lap up the denial that this guy dishes out. Enjoy! :-)

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), November 16, 1999.


Ok Hawk, Ok. Fine. I'm not his biggest fan either.

But why even talk about how someone looks? That's "OT", as they say.

-- Chicken Little (panic@forthebirds.net), November 16, 1999.


Oh I forgot to add...you said, "Hey Chicky, who said anything about physical beauty?"

Um, YOU did.....see your original post: "(an ugly sonofabitch too!)"

Guess we both forget stuff, huh. Heh heh.

Not that it's an earthshaking issue. But it seems that in evaluating people's moral/intellectual qualifications, their physical appearance shouldn't even bear mention, if the discussion itself is going to approach looking intelligent.

Just my 2".

-- Chicken Little (panic@forthebirds.net), November 16, 1999.


That was my point Chicky, I didn't say anything about looks, YOU are the one who drew that conclusion. Guess you didn't think he was too good looking, eh?

Roget's thesaurus, Ugly: despicable, distasteful, low-down, mean, nasty, servile,... well you get the idea, it means whatever you want it to.

As far as the OT thing, guess you haven't noticed but there is no OT on this forum, besides this post was about what he said about Y2K. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

What happened to the previous incarnation of this thread, in which the original post included the URL at which to hear the clip, and also my transcription of those few minutes?

Nevermind, here it is.

Hawk, is there a way you can place a paper bag over his head?
