CB Finance debate, Egg Recipes, etc.

This could be a good financial opportunity!!!

The Book:
"Fifty Shades of Grey." The book is nearing half a billion dollars in gross sales, according to its publisher's income statements
The Movie:
Fifty Shades of Grey grossed $166.2 million in North America and $404.8 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $571 million, against a budget of $40 million.

Damn book writers, they're all the same!
 
Actually, and not trying to be a wise-ass here, I would like to know how he paid for 100 plus African Safaris on a writers salary since I remember reading him say that he never took a free hunt.

He has to have several million invested in Africa alone.
Saw this as a trending topic today. I looked at the first few posts but am none the wiser. Would anyone be able to tell me what this is about as it is a compete mystery to me . I worked out who CB is but what is the post about exactly? (I wasn't going to read through 17 pages of posts to find out.)

Thanks
 
Yes, seriously. Regardless of what others might say, I know they were named for Gen. Arnold. Have you no ethics man? You probably support CBL hunting!
I've been wondering how long it would take before someone put the "CB" in CBL :E Frightened:

I am SO with you on the Eggs Benedict (Arnold) part :E Yuck:

Wise man. Although I have learned to bring a lunch if headed to England!

Well its been a few years that I taught a college class, and while Dr. Slough might not answer questions for those who do not do their homework, I never had such a rule. The short version is how could CB take all these hunting trips (and one in particular that would retail about 100k) when he declared Chapter 7, when claiming he never took a free trip. The eggs are those who want to change the subject.

Does CB stick his nose into your personal finances.? Were you directly affected by his bankruptcy?

Some folks seem to relish internet drama, when at the end of the day, nothing good comes out of it.
 
CB stands for captive bred. All the longest threads here involve captive bred this or that. This thread is no exception.

More to the point is why anyone would eat eggs Benedict, poached eggs, eggs with fajitas, or Stargazy pie, all of which have no place in the culinary repertoire.

Wesheltonj. Thank you for your courteous reply (perhaps the individual you refer to had lost his manners- we make allowances, it's only polite. )

You have assisted in clarifying my simple question.
 
I am however still totally confused. Wish I had never asked and will move on from this nonesensical bllx
 
And here I thought boiled eggs were the CBL equivalent... I mean you put them in a small enclosure, lock them up bring the heat and as much as the try to evade the shot(spoon), they can’t escape the inevitable...

o_O....:E Laugh:

Eggs and rotten eggs.


@8 x 60 : When people get to know you better, can they call you 480 for short? :whistle: (A little engineering & math humor) :)
 
Popularity certainly creates its own set of expectations.
I think you have to be nuts to want to be a public figure.

Ditto that!

I have managed my finances to keep them from being a public record and hopefully I never get into the position that have to write off debt. The price you pay when you don't pay your debts is: that it all becomes public record for all the world to see. A lot he has bought upon himself. Had he said the hunt were donated, I don't think anyone would care. But I suspect, if that was said, folks might think the hunt was nothing more then a paid endorsement, I know I would.
 
Look up Stargazey pie . . . what are you supposed to do when such a thing is presented at the table? I don't think it's polite to throw up after eating, so I guess you have no choice but to do it before you eat . . .
"Vomit" sounds entirely appropriate.

Getting a traffic ticket becomes public record.

CB could have gotten hunts for $1.00, and still make the claim that he has never done a free hunt. Maybe he made bad investments or business ventures that went south. ?
 
Hey Tex, instead of getting all bent out of shape about what I wrote why don't you search the net a bit and read about the shenanigans your hero has been up to?
What other forum has info you talk about..? I met him in Casper yrs ago and found him to be arrogant and self absorbed and looking for praise..That was enough for me..

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
