Hey! What gives?
I'm trying to flip my K! share on e-schwa and it won't let me - the site keeps coming up saying: "sorry, we already got one of those". No matter who I try to sell to, it's always - "no thanks, got one".
Where's the personal freaking liquidity event I was promised, goddamit?!

You got your share. Liquidity is in giving up the ownership of the share

Yes! I'm off to Eastern Europe! to see if I can't pick up some Kombinat! stock from the unsuspecting families of the recently deceased. I'm banking on the fact that they don't have CNN and are therefore Not In the Know regarding the Miracle of Kombinat! It's my Dead Poles Tour '04. I undertsand that if I mention the fact that I know K! certain doors are opened. Conversations are Waste but Poetry is Toxic.

Awesome sentence: "Conversations are Waste but Poetry is Toxic" I am stealing it. Piracy Of Language.

Steal away! I'll sue you. We'll settle out of court, then kill our lawyers. It'll be fun. The Poetry Industry must not die.
