Friday Homestretch/AFTP
August has come to a close, and it has been a wild month for TSLA shareholders. After all the tweets, rumors, and investigations, the stock is set to close basically unchanged since the end of July, but that doesn’t reflect the volatility investors had to endure over the last 31 days.
In an effort to switch focus from Elon Musk, I’ll mention that luxury sports-car maker Aston Martin on Wednesday unveiled plans for a stock-market listing that could value the maker of the car James Bond drove at about $6 billion.
The British brand has notified financial regulators it is considering a listing on the London Stock Exchange and said it would publish full details for potential investors next month.
Tying into a blog I published earlier this week about chewed gum/worn sneakers/whores, a Twitter follower sent me this print ad for pre-owned Aston Martins that flies in the face of advice I recently imparted on my son.
Speaking of hoo-ahs… ASS FROM THE PAST
I chose this week’s candidate after hearing Michael Jackson’s birthday was recently celebrated even though he is very dead, and it reminded me that MJ inadvertently fucked a couple of celebs out of the recognition they deserved when he passed away and stole the media spotlight.
No one could compete with the surprise death of the controversial King of Pop, so poor Farrah Fawcett didn’t stand a chance. Michael Jackson’s demise on June 25th, 2009 completely eclipsed the sad loss of Fawcett, who died on the same day, and also overshadowed the death of Ed McMahon the night before.
Ed McMahon looked terrible in a bathing suit, so I picked Farrah as my AFTP.
Fawcett rose to international fame when she posed for this iconic red swimsuit poster (which became the best selling pin-up poster in history), and most famously starred as private investigator Jill Munroe in the first season of Charlie’s Angels (1976–1977).
A couple other achievements: She was married to The Six Million Dollar Man, posed for Playboy at an age where nobody gave a shit, and once acted in a soft-core lesbian scene with another AFTP, Raquel Welch, in the 1970’s movie Myra Breckinridge.
Farrah was known for her signature feathered blond hair and abnormally long nipples, but it is tough to find pics of her where she doesn’t look like she was at least partially strung out on coke.
Her untimely death was brought about after a 3 year battle with anal cancer, making her the only Ass From the Past that was killed by her own ass… A dubious achievement, but one worth noting, nonetheless.
And finally… I wrote earlier today about Jerry Lee Lewis marrying his 13 year old cousin and more than one reader sent me this article saying that he was not only an incenstuous pedophile, but possibly a murderer.
Reminds me of another Lewis…
Have a great long weekend everyone… Maybe a 3-way on the 3-day?… Do it on the freeway?… If your wife gives you the leeway?
Take many reports.
