[08:22] {Threei} YHOO
[08:22] {Threei} A FEW LARGE HOUSES OUT THIS MORNING PLACING FAVORABLE ODDS THAT MSFT INCREASES ITS BID TO WIN A DEAL
[08:27] {hawkfan4} morning vad
[08:27] {Threei} hawk :)
[08:37] {hawkfan4} RIMM not participating in this excitement so far, might be good fade candidate
[08:38] {Threei} had news about outage after market yesterday
[08:38] {Threei} appears to be solved
[08:38] {Threei} maybe that's impacting it
[08:47] {hawkfan4} ah, i saw it dropping last night but couldn't stick around to figure out why.
[08:47] {Threei} neither could I
[08:47] {Threei} had a lot of things to talk about with son after his jorney
[08:48] {hawkfan4} where was he?
[08:48] {Threei} almost 4 months of backpacking over SE Asia
[08:48] {Threei} quite an experience
[08:49] {hawkfan4} wow, that's sounds amazing

[08:49] {Threei} last 10 days, trip from Hanoi to Hong Kong were very stressful,
[08:49] {cosmo} ZOLT: $0.17, excluding a convertible debt charge, $0.07 worse than the First Call consensus of $0.24; revenues rose 32.3% year/year to $40.07 mln vs the $44.59 mln consensus.
[08:49] {Threei} and sometimes downright scary
[08:50] {Threei} I am very proud of how he handled it
[08:50] {cosmo} did he see any cryptids?
[08:50] {hawkfan4} to me, the whole thing sounds a bit scary, but i prefer the safety and comfort of my basement :)
[08:50] {Threei} some situations would have put most of grown-ups in a state of sheer panic
[08:50] {Threei} maybe cosmo... but I don't kno who those are :)
[08:51] {cosmo} a cryptid is any animal or creature that has been reported to have existed, but has not been proven to
[08:51] {Threei} ah
[08:51] {cosmo} lots of them there
[08:52] {Threei} olgoi-horhoi
[08:52] {Threei} reported to inhabit deserts of Mongloia
[08:52] {Threei} huge worm hitting its victims with electricity
