Where is everyone #5

He got hit in jail last week ?
Read that he was located close to Bernie Madoff " with the goods " , the former Big Wig with the NASDAQ. Actually I was surprised to find that when Bernie gained control of the financial institution that became the NASDAQ it was known as the Cincinnati Stock Exchange. Heck, I grew up there and never heard of it. Bernie bought a lot of new technology and it was basically the first computer based Exchange.

 

The French are the worst, and the fake ones in QC are just as bad, about pretending they don't speak English even if they're fluent. In '05 me and my smarter half took a vacation, which included a motorcycle trip from London to Paris. I don't even know enough French to even guess at some of the signs, it was raining in Paris, my directions were printed off an inkjet and had smeared, and couldn't find our hotel. Stumbled across a Pizza Hut with a half dozen delivery scooters and drivers out front. College age kids. I offered 20 euro to anyone that would lead us to the hotel. One spoke up in English and agreed.

Ever seen anyone riding 2-up on a full dress renta-glide chasing a scooter over curbs, sidewalks, thru hedges, etc in the rain? Yes. MF decided to try and pull a fast one, and never expected the American chasing him learned how to ride on a gas pipeline right of way. Good times!

 

I wish you had video of that so bad !

 

That’s the way I look at it.

 

I don't understand why CNBC doesn't beg me to do their TV shows. I mean c'mon Man, Who else would come up with Bernie Madoff " With the Goods " ?
That's like ESPN. Chris Berman made Sportscenter fun to watch, even if you didn't like sports. Beckbeckbeckbeck is classic.

 

LOL we usually don't do vacations by the book. That one was epic. I forgot to mention, in addition to everything else, it was already dark by the time we got to the pizza hut. When I figured out we were headed away from where i was pretty sure the hotel was, we came up on a couple parked taxis so stopped and hit them up. After they heard what the scooter guy did, one offered to take us there for free but I pulled out another 20 anyway.

We get there to check in. It's a Renaissance (5 star, marble floors, tapestries all over the walls, and 3 bellhops glaring at us). We're at the counter in soaking wet leathers, dripping all over the floor, and clearly don't appear to belong in there. And, had also left our hotel voucher in our extra luggage in London. The clerk went ahead and checked us in and agreed to wait for me to mail the voucher back once we returned. He said the story was so fantastic, he knew I wasn't making it up.

 

English. McDonalds is for tourist traveling abroad.

 

BoysTown.

 

If you get to the Philippines, try balut.
I'm just a tourist. I ain't trying it.

Balut is eggs they bury for several days and dig up when it's half hatched. The beak and claws are halfway formed and the meal is crunchy.
Not my cup of tea.

 

I personally like McDonald's, so if I was somewhere that had gross foods, and I didn't know what to order, I would be that guy who goes to McDonald's and gets a big mac.
