"It's only premarital sex if you're going to get married."
-- Message that flashed between the update about Friday's closing Down Jones, and the current time and temperature, on a large electronic sign in San Francisco's Financial District.
I have no idea.
I'm not sure if that sign was hacked, or if that was an odd, odd advertisement that someone paid to have run.
And I can't quite grasp who would want to share that message with the world-- is it meant to be conservative or liberal?
I watched the sign for several minutes afterwards, but it didn't show anything else out of the ordinary.

I half expected it to show an anagram of "Sing doo wah diddy." (Cool points to anyone who knows what I'm talking about.)

Can I cash my cool points in anywhere if I know that the "Sing doo wah diddy" is from L.A. Story?

Nicole: No one else caught this!? A half calf latte? Now, I understand that starbucks does some wacky things, but I'd like to think that at least my coffee is kosher!

On the other hand, how does one spell the abbreviated form of caffeine? caff', i suppose.

On the gripping hand, what the heck ever happened to "i before e" rules? Caffeine? Oh, well.

Meaning a reference to Short Circuit 2? :)

*sigh* Working for a bank, it does feel like *Down* Jones... but it's Dow.
Though, if the market drops like it did the last few weeks, maybe they'll rename it? *speculative*

By virtue of having chanced upon this site, I think my "cool points" are by now irretrievable.

Are these "cool points" redeemable for anything? =) (I hate the fact that i have to put one of those emoticons to show what would so easily show in tone of voice- is there any less tacky way to do that?) Perhaps we could trade them in for the twist of lemon?

great site. Are you referring to LA story? (totally guessing, but it's all that occurs now.)
