Gasoline is high because it comes to us high.

I saw a report that stated people in Denmark were the "happiest" people in the world. Maybe if we raised gasoline prices up to the Danish level on the chart we'd all be happier. I know I would.

If a chick in Denmark has a yeast infection, is she called a Cheese Danish?

Posted by guest, May 23, 2008 12:39PM

everyone thinks the post is some sort of play on gasoline prices...haha - no attention to detail.

My god they couldnt even be bothered to steal the citation of whatever source the wiki article is citing?

Hey why not. John Thain already cites Dealbreaker on the MER conf calls.

A Danish oil company refers to itself as "DONG". I shit thee not.

I spotted that in a split second, before I even knew what the graph was saying...oh, IB and all the completely worthless skills you develop from it.

Citing Wikipedia is like citing drunk crazy homeless people on the street.

Sadly, ML also cites Wikipedia in many reports.

Mmmmm, Otto's. I know what I'm doing for lunch. I heard there's another offer on Otto's (plus Greek Pizza) land. So they may be closing...again.

Is this the one out on Memorial?

Whenever partners at Houston law firms were feeling good, they'd take people out somewhere nice. But when they felt on top of the world, they'd just go to Otto's in the Park Shops to gorge themselves.

Citing Wikipedia is like citing Moodys.

1:05.... Number of sell-side shops dead from correction 1, number of hedge funds dead from latest correction 30-50-100 and counting...

For every bad sell-side associate there are 5 hedge funds tools that KNOW the way it is... Anyway, who's going to get you dinner at Nobu now!

Hey, barbeque fans, I've been to Otto's in Houston on Memorial many, many times. It's been a few years, though. Just yesterday I started daydreaming about ribs about Otto's barbeque. When I frequented the place, it was the best barbeque in Houston. And that is saying a lot. Never found half-way decent barbeque in New York City. Barbeque. Mhhmm. Grew up eating really great, but different, barbeque in Kansas City.

To: Guest May 24, 2008 @11:33am. You are a kind, wonderful person for posting that link. It's like barbecue pornography! I think I'll try the platter, so I can do direct taste comparisons of the tastes of KC with the tastes of Texas. You also got to love a place that serves deviled eggs. Sometimes the simplest dish from an old recipe can be so satisfying!

You can't beat the Beef Back ribs there. I'm also a fan of ordering a full rack more than I'm going to eat and taking them to go, cold ribs = awesome hangover food.

Posted by guest, May 26, 2008 10:05AM

What a good idea to order an extra helping to take home and eat cold! At some point in my life, I know I have eaten ribs in the morning, cold. Of course they were great! I never have tried them as hangover food. I think the way they must work is that you get up feeling awful, then you open the fridge and you see you the cold barbecue wrapped in paper. The subsequent wave of happiness that comes over your body helps numb the pain.

When I was at home in KC, it was very difficult to maintain leftovers in the fridge. If I had been out with the parents and the rest of the family, my father would usually not allow us to leave until he had cleaned off every left-over bone. And he was expert at getting every tiny scrap of meat off the bone. We left nothing behind but a pile of impressively clean bones. If I had gone out with friends and brought back a sack of left-overs, my father, who was a night-owl, would find them, and once again relieve the ribs of every scrap of meat. He was incorrigible.

But ordering a full extra order to go is genius!

Thanks for the tip.
