That is an awesome feat, Ernie, looking good! Now let's see you do 5x325 for next year's... Happy Birthday to you, and keep pumping that iron!

awesome celebration Ernie!
I am 53, and after seeing your video I grabbed my 12 year old son, picked him up over my head and threw him onto his mattress. That counts for something, right? LOL
Happy Birthday!

Supposedly a guy in the service bet another fellow he could not down a quart of Canadian club in one sitting . The fellow took up the challenge , downed the Canadian club, and he was found dead in the morning .........apparently he had swallowed his tongue ..........Webs stay safe and healthy out there!

BUZZ driving a new term sweeping the internet. In my day we called it what it really was, and is today......"DRUNK DRIVING". All drunks behind the wheel should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
If the police would simply wait outside every gin mill in town and drunk test those drivers driving erratically tons of arrests could be made, but will they do what is right? ........certainly not, the bar owners would complain to the town officials , threaten holding back campaign funds, and that would put an end to that "El Rapido"! That is the rest of the story plain and simple.
A judge in my former town would humiliate and ridicule all people with any type of driving infraction that came before him. The judge, bastard, was later on finally arrested on a drunk driving charge himself! Old adage , what goes around , comes around!

Not sure how this birthday thread morphed into drunk driving but - I have had two close calls with persons texting while driving - and one with someone on a cell phone. Years ago I almost got hit on I-77 on my way to work - by a young girl who was putting on makeup while looking into a visor mirror while driving 60+ mph.

Would someone please tell me why any of these things cannot wait for a few minutes until the people could pull over to take care of their business?

I believe that people think that they are the only people on the road - they have no respect for other drivers - a big SUV started to drift into my lane yesterday - I honked my horn a couple of times - they jerked their vehicle back into their lane - when I passed her, she flipped me off

I guess giving someone the finger is acceptable in today's culture - It seems everyone is doing it, just like using the "F" word.

Near dusk a driver in the wrong lane was coming right at me. I got off the road and they didn't budge. Never found out what happened to them.

Giving the finger is not a wise course of actiion. In a town where I had worked a man stopped for a light , the man behind him started blowing his horn as soon as the light turned green . as well as giving the finger to the guy in front!
The man in front supposedly got out his his car , pulled out his gun and blasted the guy behind him in the head ......and that was the end of that hot head!

This has to be the world's record for thread hijacking.

Happy Belated Birthday MrMarket. 54 years ago one cool guy was born and it was you! Congrats to your success in real life as well as in the stock market using your quantitative stock-picking model that you developed in graduate school to take advantage of the bullishness the market was exhibiting at the time. Drive safely!

All I wanted was a beer.
