   Some people have no shame when it comes to hawking a book

   I see you chose a svelte avatar. Does he get to eat steak in Second Life?

   Nice choice with the Steve Perry hairdo Barry.

   BTW wouldn’t it make more sense if the robot sat behind a desk leaning back in a recliner staring at his guest? But what do I know, I’ll just leave my silly ‘first life’ opinions to myself.

   I’m sort of hoping that this is some sort of goof…..

   Good job. Thought your statements on health care were even better than those on finance.

   Ooops. Guess I missed thread. Where exactly were your thoughts on healthcare?

   @Andy T: Me too.

   There’s only one reason I’m dialed into this blog. And I suspect that most others sort out into two groups.

   Am I wasting my time?

   As are perhaps several others.

   MEH: Where are you when I need you?

   alfred e,

   be careful in ‘needing me’, for you, already, have the many of the, necessary, requisite tools.

   though, I do understand your Q: , in a metaphysical sense, and, with that, yes, along with AT, this should be a ’spoof post’..

   But, as we know, this is BR’s Gambit, from pillar to post. As it, quite, should be.

   Though, from my own Ken, ‘Second life’ is sad event.

   If only it could work like that in “Real Life.”

   … my boss was being a real pain, so I asked her to reboot; and poof !

   Is that [I-Man] off there to the right listening to your interview?

    None of the chair have any legs…They’re just kind of floating there…

    Kind of like the S&P…

    @ CV-

    LMFAO.

    Thanks for that great start to my TPB week.

    Umm… no. Second Life is not one of my web haunts… but, judge not, I suppose.

    And actually, upon closer inspection, I’m a little miffed…

    Thats a chick, brah.

    @I-Man

    Sorry I-Man…I didn’t look at it close up…

    I guess it’s like that song “Strobelight Honey”

    Second Life? Shouldn’t that be called Get a Life?
