You have to see this. Lay off a couple saver bets and go to this movie. If you've blinked in the last little while, you may not have realized that Mark Zuckerburg is the youngest self-made billionaire ever. The Social Network is part-biopic, part Horatio Alger story, part sociological study of the culture that incubated a gargantuan success within only the last five years. Great entertainment, memorable lines, a lot of humor and a lot of money (not so different from New York Racing Board). Here's a link to the official trailer: http://www.thesocialnetwork-movie.com/ Here's a mind-boggling fact from that site: "One third of US women 18-34 check Facebook when they first wake up." That's one in three. If nothing more, you can see what we're missing figuring out the pick 4. I went thinking it would be a pastime, saw the film and thought it would fade away in my mind like any so-so film. Three days later I'm still thinking about it. Go see. |

I know chicks that look at facebook almost all day on a smart phone. One second you are talking to them the next second they are looking down ignoring you. It is like some mental masturbation device from Brave New World. |

OMG that makes this board "MY FACEBOOK" I've been known to log in before I go to work in the morning. What does that say about my priorities |

Barbara Stanwyck said in a movie once "Don't you know a moonlit deck is a woman's business office?" Maybe it's a PDA now, but the business is the same: prime marrying age women are still angling for those most available bachelors, and they are as crafty as any pick 6 player. I think I've told you all this before, but once while I was working on 6th Ave I had an office mate acquaintance who was a Rothschild. He was a much bigger producer than me so I was both a little surprised and flattered when he dropped by my desk and asked me as a favor to walk him out to a car he had waiting at the corner. When we got outside, I understood why he needed a wing man: in the space of 60 yards, he was approached by 4 different women. I'd never seen such a thing before. |

E78th, there's nothing on earth more bold than a young, a middle aged, or an older woman today who is looking for a "sponsor." Rothschild figured to be a pretty good one. Its kinda sad if you stop to think about it. |
