Wow. Everyone looks for meaning or substance in a thread, isnt sure what they find, so they speculate, just like the idiot bankers have done these last few years.

Take your pick from the following:

1) Sure the head-spinning news reports and Financial reports have me aghast like anyone else with something to lose....A LOT to lose. As I mentioned before, I have taken my lumps lately just like many people, but I am still pretty solid compared to the vast majority of people out there. Overall, I have lost almost 10% of my TOTAL worth since early this year when the shit started to hit the fan. But through some constant vigil, financial tapdancing and doing a lot of things FOR MYSELF instead of relying on advisers or accountants or Brokers, I have kept my damage to what I believe a remarkably LOW level.

But it still gives me pause and arouses a bit of concern, especially since the powers that be seem INCAPABLE of fixing the problems and doing what needs to be done. So this thread in part addresses my reflective mood the last few days.

2) I was hoping to start an XPT BABY picture thread / "when I was a young adult" thread....I thought we might get at least a few hit pictures of Gigi as a teen in her first Bikini, or Maybe Holly's Sweet Sixteen Orgy pix, or Baby G's "I lost my virginity in THIS outfit when i was 16" pic. If nothing else it is funny AND interesting to see ourselves 20+ years ago...and as I said before XPT is my personal Blog/Singles Site/Whore Site/Porn Site/Social Commentary Site/Sports Site, etc etc etc.....ALL ROLLED INTO ONE....

3) This thread is a veiled passive agressive PROTEST to the gawd awful quality of POSTs in general around here and the likes of certain posters who shall be NAMELESS (not to mention POINT-less). I wanted to see who or what would have the gaul to actually BITCH about me making this kind of thread/post in lieu of all the COMPLETE BULLSHIT that has covered the floor of this forum lately. A picture of a 15-month old Burglar home from the hospital reading "the three little pigs" RULES over anything certain other posters plop on our computer screens.
