Bio

An International Man of Mystery, dash (not his real name!) arrived in France under suspicious circumstances. Some suggest he came to Paris "to take the waters", but in reality he settled there for love and remains in spite of it.

A certified wisenheimer (and at least 1/32 Norwegian), he is widely respected on the internet for his vapid insights, cruelty and drive-by commenting style. He occasionally fries bacon in an open pan, shirtless, in preparation for harsh criticism.

An occasional surfer, RISD graduate, award-winning designer and more recently starving 3D animator, he should logically be a leftist, but is not.

Some friends suggest that he is a closet writer, which is just silly.

Belt: The guys at ZeroHedge.com have a theory:  Basically, a bunch of large hedge funds and governments are getting pressed for immediate cash, and are dumping gold to cover margin calls or bank shocks.  This includes some large Chinese firms and Cyprus, I believe.  Since they're suddenly dumping a literally tons of gold and silver on the market, the price is tanking.

That sounds about right to me. It may be a good moment to buy, since until there is certainty and growth--or at least an outlook for growth, metals will continue to be attractive.

And suddenly, I don't feel so bad about that rejection letter from Simon and Schuster.

Rob Long: You're all wrong.  All wrong.  

It's A-Ha.

Do not diss A-Ha lest you invoke the wrath of Odin.

The concept is starting to jell. Imagine a sort of Jeremiah Johnson set-up with the cast of Fiddler on the Roof. 

It just so happens I know a gal who'd be able to build that roof with a mortise and tenon construction so solid you could put the whole Jerusalem Philharmonic up there.

10 cents: I won't say I deserve most of the credit but this happened after Dash got to know me. In my book that is cause and effect. · 12 hours ago

I think that earthquake rattled more than just your furniture...

Red Feline: 

But I do remember Michael Bolton of the late eighties. 

Office Space!

Yeah but, how was the crease of his pants? That's all that really matters.

Michael Jackson, for sure, although I prefer Prince. And the only Madonna song I could stand was La Isla Bonita, and even that one one grates.

Been through a few hurricanes when I lived on the East Coast, but nothing too severe. Glad to hear you're OK, but if you see the bay receding, head for the hills.

Not to put too fine a point on it, could anyone really think that murder would have therapeutic effects?

So Dash - Great Father award goes to you today.  · 1 hour ago

Hey, I'll take it! Do I have to make a speech? "First, I'd like to thank my Dad.."

kohana: Congratulations to Kirsten! My father was a worker with wood and built the most beautiful cabinets, and other hand made furniture. He also single handed built 3 houses, and remodeled others. He died very young, before one of his great grandsons was born. When the boy was about 12, he showed me some little wooden box he had made. It was beautiful so I gave him my father's tools. Today at 26, he does beautiful work, but has not made it his profession. Sigh.... · 5 minutes ago

That's the way to do it. My Dad was always buying quality tools. Tools for every imaginable purpose, and some I'm not even sure of. Naturally, I'm passing on quite a few to my daughter now.

Indaba: Good for your daughter and great Dad to get her inspired. Good for Mollie with her whimsical post. I think she inspires more people in more ways than she may know. · 19 minutes ago

That Mollie, she's a real doll.

Kirsten too, in fact...

Ha! Good one.

Oh no! The cone of shame!

Which means--just to finish the thought--that when there is a run on the banks, US depositors will discover that their assets are worth, at best, ten cents on the dollar.

As Frank might have put, if he'd lived to see the day,

Every road that we took turned into gold,

But the dream was too much for you to hold.

Now, over and over I keep going over the world we knew,

Days when you used to loan me...
