Just read an article this morning that said the world's helium supplies will be tapped dry within 10 years. Who'dve thunk?

Anyway, BG, I think it's time to diversify into plastic champagne poppers, dive into black market fireworks, or become a Razz expert, since no one knows how to play that game anyway.

Good luck.

Actually Balloon Guy's wife told him to buy Google at $175 a share, he told her it was severely overvalued and would wait till it got to a more realistic $50 a share before he bought. Then he told her to leave the investing stuff to me since she has no clue about finance etc. He is still waiting, while listening to her say: "I told you so".



No, I fixed the post

And incedently TP/MM should be TP/MMM as in turn pro/ make more millions.


Helium shortage will effect everyone in ways you do not understand. From airline travel to future space travel, this is a real problem with no solution at all in sight.

If I wasn't the largest buyer in the area, I would have problems getting helium as well.

No.

The moon and a lot of planets have a lot of helium though, we just have to access it.

I read that on the interweb just now.

im still not sold that many of these people that get these big online scores are winners when it comes to the live game, which, by the way, is real poker.

You know how when you go to a bar and there are a lot of pretty women, and you give your number to them and you can tell they are just blowing you off but you sit night after night hoping the phone will ring and when it does't you try to tell yourself that it's okay, you are not a loser?


It's kind of like that, only I hired someone else to feel bad, which makes it easier to bear.
