INT. CONFERENCE ROOM – DAY
A group of laptops are spread around a conference table, all facing each other. An intraday chart showing both $UPRO and $TMF is displayed via a projector. The sound of light snoring can be heard, though it is not clear which laptop it is emanating from.
JOSH ROSEN: So…how long are we going to be keeping up with this “buy and hold” strategy of UPRO and TMF, anyhow?
BILL O’BRIEN: For however long it k-k-k-keeps p-p-p-paying off, Josh. It’s up 23% since we made the move in January. I’m sorry you find it dull.
JOSH ROSEN: It’s okay. It’s just that I’ve been running the numbers and it feels like we’ve been playing things a little too safe.

HUE JACKSON: So you’re looking to take a few gambles, eh?
KATIE NOLAN: Holy shit! You’re still alive?
LAWRENCE TYNES: Of course I’m still alive, every time you jerks see a bunch of nurses run in here with a crash cart and administer a few CC’s of epinephrine you automatically assume that…
KATIE NOLAN: Lawrence, have you been paying attention?
LAWRENCE TYNES: Huh? Sorry, I had blacked out for a minute.
KATIE NOLAN: Look! It’s Hue!
LAWRENCE TYNES: Oh my gosh!
BILL O’BRIEN: What the f-f-fuck, Hue? Where are you?
HUE JACKSON: Oh…let’s just say I’m hanging out somewhere that’s just a little bit outside the jurisdiction of the S.E.C…
COLIN COWHERD: You’re coaching at Florida State University?
BILL O’BRIEN: He’s t-t-t-talking about the Securities and Exchange C-c-c-c-commission, you idiot.
COLIN COWHERD: Oh. Not familiar with it. But it sounds like something Josh would know about, mind giving us the rundown little buddy?
JOSH ROSEN: Little buddy? First off, I’m two inches taller than you. Second…

DJ 3000: S.E.C. FUGITIVE HUE JACKSON DETECTED
HUE JACKSON: Shit, gotta run!
ONLINE HOST: HUE JACKSON has logged out of the chat.
KATIE NOLAN: What the hell? The S.E.C. is tracking Hue Jackson through the internet?
DJ 3000: HA HA HA HA, NO. I JUST LIKE TO FOLLOW HIM AROUND AND FUCK WITH HIM. I BELIEVE YOU HUMANS CALL IT “TROLLING”.
COLIN COWHERD: Oh, neat, you’re one of those voice assistant programs!
DJ 3000: ACTUALLY, NO, I AM…
COLIN COWHERD: Hey, how much money would we have made if we’d just held onto our original investment in Kroger?

KATIE NOLAN: Holy SHIT are we bad at this.
DJ 3000: IN ALL HONESTLY YOUR CHOICE TO INVEST IN A PAIR OF LEVERAGED INDEX AND U.S. TREASURY BOND FUNDS WAS NOT A BAD CHOICE EVEN THOUGH SOME OF YOUR OTHER CHOICES MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT BETTER. BUT SPEAKING OF CHOICES THAT MIGHT HAVE WORKED OUT BETTER…

The original version of American Pie sucks, but leave it to Madonna to turn it from suck to blow.
One of the top STD songs.

Waaah, deliberately reposting this song hurts my delicate fee-fee’s … I’m gonna retreat to my happy place ( a well humming server room, because
a HPC is about to failover again for unknown bloody reasonsfee-fees, so I’m gonna bolt for now)Well it wasn’t what I intended, but it sounds like it had some benefit.
This is what I meant to post.

Subjective.
DFO is more pejorative.
True for some, plenty of other will tell you which version is BETTER!
damn dry skin making posting hard.
At first I read pendejo-orative.
Bob Dylan original, Jimi is better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvVz88IHK4o
That song is so good, even Cylons dig it 😀
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BigolJfoANw
Another Dylan song covered better by someone else (my opinion only).

By the way – Eric Clapton’s acoustic of rendition of Layla’s as authorized as it gets – “Derek and the Dominos” was Clapton’s band, he wrote it and he sang it originally, so I guess the rules are about as fluid and flexible as the NFL’s grasp on what a catch is 😀
Also he never sued himself…… but he did give himself royalty checks. I’m sure his attorneys talked to his attorneys.
…You can never know if he didn’t sue himself, the 60s and 70s were a wild time with the right suppliers …or so I’ve been taught
Not in the legal court…. maybe the court of public opinion…..
I once invested in Pop Tarts. Most overrated thing I ever ate. Pretty sure I would done better investing in JC Penny.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF9Gr5waAJg&list=PL6H6TfFpYvpeCr4d5BUNj6bj8_0rP1M58&index=2
Shit, wrong vid.
Penny’s don’t taste as good as Pop-Tarts, though.
Depending on the time of day Penny Pax is delicious.
Goddamn it, after looking up the playlist, those metal covers are acceptable … BLARGH, rolling back the tape

(by the way not kidding about the 72 hours thing and at this rateI may just make 100 hours 😀 )
In general, I like Metallica’s “Whisky in the Jar” except it’s not pronounced JAR-O-AH
It’s not bad at all, though Thin Lizzy/The Pogues both did better versions than them.. I find it funny that one of the few songs I like past 1991’s Metallica being a so-so cover of someone else’s work 😀
Also #NeverForgetNapster 😀
Even in Boston?
lolno, in Boston they’ll just play the Dubliners OG version(as opposed to the 90s one they did with the Pogues) and toss out (or worse) anyone who asks for the Metallica cover 😀
Ummm, the joke was the pronunciation of JAR-O-AH.
And my joke is that the “proud fookin’ Irish” ™ in Boston will listen to a song, ’cause “old country” ™ and not ’cause it’s actually good 😀
Well then, respond to the original post.
Got it.
I’ve only seen Dropkick Murphys once, and it was in San Antonio. But I’d be willing to bet they’ve played Whiskey In A Jar more than a few times at concerts up there in Hibernia West, Massatwoshits.
Is this it?

So if it is covers you’re after, the folks at Postmodern Jukebox are a national treasure — here is Morgan James doing Dream On as a jazz standard:

And for the twofer, here she is doing Whitesnake in her apartment with her husband on guitar (lucky bastard):

Ehhhhh….
*clutches* Dio and Yngwie’s cover to calm himself. The Whitesnake cover’s (on second listening)

Also worth noting: $AMD, which the investment club took a short position against, is up from around $28 to $82 today.
They’re really earning the club nickname.
