About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Just how bad would it be to “regift” a Tickle-Me-Elmo to my wife this year?

For some reason I read that as E.I.F. and thought it was another failed bank.

A friend of mine says the market runs in and out of two cycles. Fear and greed. We’ll get back to the greed cycle one of these days.

Those poor elves!

i’m surprised santa isn’t already using elf computers and elf robots for most of his toy production anyway. downsizing the elf labor force is the natural next step.

i agree with deWeb. you’ve gotta have it streamlined. keep up with the curve santa.

The Stockdale Paradox: Face the brutal facts of the current reality, but never doubt that you will prevail.
This is a tough time. The guy ahead of me at the bank today said,”I told my kids I’m just giving to my GREAT grandchildren this year.”
I understand-I’ve got 10 grandchildren, but no greats yet.
Good time to pull together

It’s sad that elves are expenses on a balance sheet that need to be limited.
Do you think you could do a Venn diagram with Hoovervilles and Disneyland?

I think that would definitely place you on a karmic “naughty list” for some time to come…
Evil, evil, evil toy…
