- We thought of you fondly on Satruday and looked forward to the day when you and I could make another bet. - Diva Mar 30, 07:36 12
  - My counter: you can have the Phillies and Giants staffs and I'll take Derek Lowe. - David Mar 30, 07:59 11
    - So if someone on the Giants or Phillies staff wins you get two and I get four? No thanks. -- nm - Diva Mar 30, 08:02 4
      - No, I lose and you win if it's one of them and would get nothing. - David Mar 30, 08:05 3
        
        So basically, David's taking Ubaldo, Josh Johnson, Tommy Hanson and Lowe - Will Hunting Mar 30, 08:07 2
        
        Actually, she can have the rest of the Braves or pick a third team if she wants. -- nm - David Mar 30, 08:08 1
        
        Interesting but, I only wanted to base the bet on the wackiness of what you posted yesterday. I don't see Derek Lowe winning the NL Cy Young. At all. - Diva Mar 30, 08:15
    - My offer to shave the phrase of your choice in my fur, above the belt, stands if DLowe wins the CY. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 30, 08:01 5
      - Ehc-celelnt -- nm - David Mar 30, 08:05 4
        
        and I don't even care about reciprocity at this point. - Mel Profit Mar 30, 08:08 3
        
        He's nine years removed from finishing third and I know this. Even so, my eyes tell me he's a different guy right now. -- nm - David Mar 30, 08:11 2
        
        The heart wants what the heart wants. - Mel Profit Mar 30, 08:17

[deleted] 30
- Wouldn't inflation be insane right now if our $ was backed by gold? - TWuG Mar 30, 07:37 13
  - stability - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 08:14
  - what's funny is that there's no practical reason it should be gold as opposed to anything else. - znufrii Mar 30, 07:43 8
    - Gold has a few qualities that make it a decent choice - a relatively low smelter point, is easily alloyed and has low reactivity. - Reagen Mar 30, 07:58 4
      - scarcity works to its advantage too, as does density. -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 08:08 1
        
        all of which are of pragmatic value, rather than intrinsic. - znufrii Mar 30, 08:11
      - the real quality that it has is that it's a commodity that has held value across many thousands of years and multiple cultures....nm - x Mar 30, 08:00 1
        
        I would argue that that's a consequence of what I pointed out. - Reagen Mar 30, 08:03
    - oil actually makes more sense. you can at least do stuff with it. -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 07:45 2
      - (from the intrinsic worth POV. it has myriad other problems). -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 08:03
      - exactly. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 07:48
  - silver has more than doubled since the start of the year, and gold is up like 30% -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 07:43 2
    - silver is an "industrial use" metal also - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 08:06
    - that reminds me, my mom has a couple dozen silver coins sitting in a safe deposit box for me somewhere. - znufrii Mar 30, 07:45
- if only the value of gold weren't also pegged in dollars. -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 07:36 2
  - Texas is sponsoring a bill to use barrels of oil as currency. -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 07:37 1
    - "and then since they're so big we'll print little pieces of paper to say how many barrels you own... aw shit." -- nm - texas government Mar 30, 07:40
- The Onion is hilarious today. Oh, shit -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 07:28
- When have I ever advocated to gold standard? -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 07:28 11
  - [deleted] 10
    - i think the minted Euro's are pritty much also a sham -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 30, 08:09
    - it's not a sham, just a convenient shared delusion. -- nm - mafic Mar 30, 07:37 2
      - you say potato and i say po-tah-toe...nm - x Mar 30, 08:01
      - exactly. -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 07:38
    - did I ever say it was a sham? -- nm - znufrii Mar 30, 07:33 5
      - but it's something you *would* have said. -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 07:45 3
        
        not really - znufrii Mar 30, 07:53 1
        
        pssst. - loosilu Mar 30, 07:55
        
        Heh. -- nm - mara Mar 30, 07:46
      - Obviously, znu. Jesus. -- nm - mara Mar 30, 07:40
