What paper do you read with your morning cuppa?  And, do you read a real printed newspaper or the electronic equivalent?

I read the 'Oregonian'...


(...and the Onion...)




(edit because -   oop's, look up there ^ Dadds)

WAGER RE-OPENED

WAGER CLOSED

and ok, a wager for my pal Dadds.

I bet 25QP on Germany against the field (and for another 10QP, I bet that they will play Argentina in the final).

Sadly, this wager is only open to my Australian friend.

If anyone else has a wager, please post it here and maybe someone will pick it up...  



(edit to state that this wager closes at the start of (kick-off, as it were) the France/Germany match at 09:00 PDT on the Fourth of July, 2014 )

(re-edit to show that the wager is no longer valid)

wager reopened Dadds and will close at the kick-off between Brasil/Deutschland at 1300 hours PDT july 8, 2014.

and the US of A ¹doesnt play soccer. Dumb bet to be honest. pity i logged in late⁴

(He is quoting me)³And now I am given an insult from 'he who shall not be insulted'  laugh  

i didnt insult you, unless you are a U.S. of A ¹current soccer player lol. Don't get too precious Sargas.

(me again)³If the USA doesn't play soccer, why does FIFA rank us 13th and AUS 62nd in the world?

FIFA has its own magical numbers which doesnt actually have any value in real life. sorta like solari lol (actually, i rate solari higher than a FIFA number)²
Oh, and gambling is not in anyone's interest, especially if you keep losing lol⁴

₁ This is the same 'level of insult' that has caused you to draw sword.  My country is called USA, or U.S.A., or America, but not U.S.of A  -  (I would have accepted U.S. of A. but not U.S. of A).

₂I have to admit that I don't understand how they figure the rankings out, but you still haven't responded to the 'head-to-head' question.

₃Please name who you are quoting.

₄read my latest posting here, it isn't too late...

ahhh. so we are friends? cool. let me go check my list again.

 

What list?

 

No insult was taken, I was just trying to make a joke.  Friends do that.

Dadds, you gave me an ultimatum,  'respond in 24 hours'.

I responded...

What the bloody h**l do you want?  Don't invite me to dinner when I have to supply the food.

And, please let me know what you think honorable really means.

It truly is and needs to be fixed before anything else...

ok, right now, for the first to respond, I bet that Germany will defeat Argentina in the final (10QP)

I also bet that Germany will win it all (25QP)

both bets must be accepted no later than the 13:00 PDT kickoff between Germany/Brasil on July 8, 2014...

no, it wasn't a chain, it was local.  Been around almost as long as I have...

DING!!!

and with the ringing of the 'time-bell', the previous wager with Dadds is closed as not accepted in time.  



(edit - ...After all, you cannot bet on a horse after he has left the gate...   ...If anyone has a wager, post it here...)

I noticed that the commodity exchange stations in other systems usually buy food and electronics. Does anyone know if you can sell to those stations and make a profit off of otherwise useless products?

I would recommend it for new captains as a supplement to offset fuel costs when transporting interstellar passengers picked up from the bulletin board.  And as soon as that endeavor (taxi service) stops being profitable, so does the minor profit for reselling crap.  I have been stockpiling food and electronics for the time they will be useful.

Hold on... Belgians play soccer? That's not fair. They should be disqualified for eating performance ennhancing waffles. Everybody knows Belgian waffles give you super speed.

There was a restaurant (a 'pancake-house') here in Oregon that advertised they will not serve 'Belgian waffles' (a lot of people went there for a late lunch to watch the match)...

Before you even start to 'diss' the Yanks, please show me how the Socceroos are better.
