Commented on Paul Harvey (RIP)
I too loved to listen to Paul Harvey's soothing voice when I was a young boy. Favorite moment, but really a parody -- Harry Shearer did a great impression of Paul Harvey on The Simpsons, and you just hear a...
Commented on Bankers can't possibly afford NYC on a mere $500K/year
A core problem is the inability to "down-shift" -- not because one cannot simply bear to live without luxuries!, but because the market for those luxuries (particularly real-estate) is seemingly more illiquid than ever and it's tough to unload them....

Will (Bloop) Found was proud to be born in Riverside and he rarely left. Now, naturally, he and his family travel a lot. When he was thirty one when he had The Idea and it took him three years to secretly build the spaceship Jupiter II out of wood. After he was in orbit, Will freely published everything about The Idea on the internet. It changed the world. He was proud it did, even though the changes were unexpected. But Will was most proud of the Riverside newspaper's headline printed as he orbited the Earth: "Found in Space"....

He floated outside the ship, holding the dull silver sphere clumsily in his gloved hands. Turning it, he found a raised square in the center. He thought he might report in, take it inside to examine. But… Impulsively, he pressed down on the square. And was suddenly inside a dull sphere, lit from nowhere, floating free. “Zephraim to Alpha, over.” Nothing. “Zephraim to Alpha.” He wouldn’t panic. Not yet. He looked around: dull, featureless. Except for the little silver sphere in the center of the chamber. He floated to it, picked it up. Examined the raised square in the center…...

I have spent 25 years searching the depths of space, galaxy after galaxy, world upon world. In a dark tavern just outside of the city Geisler on planet Morpha, there he was. Smaller than I expected, but still mind boggling that after so long I finally found him. I walked up to him and asked him for his autograph and Captain James T Kirk set his drink down and said, “ I don’t do autographs, you Denebian slime devil.” He handed me a headshot and I went home. What a douche bag!...

“He after this,” the bodyguard presented a sleek electronic-looking cube. “Charged right in and started hootin’ when he grab it.” Cortez waved back a patrolman. “Says it his. Saw it on Cribs. Knew right where it at.” The bodyguard made a low huffing sound that Cortez placed finally as a laugh. “Needs it to get back home. Some kind of space man.” Cortez studied the bruised up cracker in the squad car. More cars arrived every few moments, drawn to the address more than the call. “The man’s name really Marion?” Cortez wanted to know. “Naw, man. Name is Mister.”...
