I should have factored in that there can never be too much sarcasm. Perhaps I'll make a sarcastic chart today.<br /><br />It might <b>not</b> be easy though. This economy might <b>not</b> have <b>anything</b> sarcastic left in it.<br /><br /><b>Sarcastic</b> emphasis added.

Except for people keen on Scottish Country Dancing who enjoy St Andrew's Night. But we do have a good celebration between New Year and Easter - Burns' Night. Unfortunately these celebrations tend to lead to either staggering or to weight inflation - so it's stagflation all over again.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-70615540561492002282012-11-22T06:19:08.502-08:002012-11-22T06:19:08.502-08:00Watchtower,

Of that I am very certain! ;)<br /><br />P.S. I should chart the addictive nature of video games and extrapolate it out a few decades. Now that could be a scary chart.Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-89706083397307971272012-11-22T05:14:48.141-08:002012-11-22T05:14:48.141-08:00@ fried and TJ

Mark,
I have always enjoyed s...@ fried and TJ<br /><br />+1<br /><br />Mark,<br /> I have always enjoyed stopping in here, and even though I'm not a brainiac like the rest of your commenters, you always take time to reply.<br /> I just wanted to say thanks.Watchtowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08833772067989549769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-66195153410749074562012-11-21T21:48:12.304-08:002012-11-21T21:48:12.304-08:00Thanks!
I really appreciate having readers who do...Thanks!<br /><br />I really appreciate having readers who don't constantly bicker and fight amongst themselves (or with me for that matter). I'm just not into that at all.<br /><br />It's one reason why I try to at least partially acknowledge every comment. I figure if someone is willing to put in the time to comment, then I would like to show that it matters to me. It does!<br /><br />Knowing that, think of the basket case I'd be if my blog was as popular as Calculated Risk, lol. There's no way I could do that.<br /><br />I'm not trying to win a prize in economics or turn this into a money making venture. In the words of the president where I once worked...<br /><br /><i>We have fun environment with creativity and fun.</i><br /><br />He wasn't exactly telling the truth. I'm reminded of all the layoffs. Maybe that wasn't a good example, lol.<br /><br />In all seriousness, the feedback I get here often inspires new posts. Every now and then someone really gets me to laugh out loud. Works for me!Stagflationary Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568993350246477976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-81127739472650965022012-11-21T21:10:11.206-08:002012-11-21T21:10:11.206-08:00I'll second that -- you come up with very uniq...I'll second that -- you come up with very unique and insightful takes on things... and chart them!<br /><br />Keep up the good work!TJandTheBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735388072841457108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515247115132134144.post-42635912477781084042012-11-21T20:59:22.438-08:002012-11-21T20:59:22.438-08:00Mark ,
