>>>>>[Hey, NewzJunkie or any of the other muckrackers (that's not meant as
an insult!) out there. I just heard a little something about Yamatetsu
that I wasn't aware of, wondering if you can confirm or add on.

Heard something about their CEO (what the frag is his name?) has died and
passed all his stock on to his "long lost" son. Trouble is that his son is
apparently an ork!! Seems that Yamatestu's board is mighty pissed about
the whole that fact. There are rumblings that something big is going down,
as the boardmembers seem to be marshalling their strength and preparing for
something.

So anybody know what's up?]<<<<<

>>>>>[Best guess is that the board is planning to oust the ork and remove
him from the board.

I'll be damned if I haven't misplaced the name myself...

I hadn't heard anything yet myself, so thanks. Might be time to sell off
some Yamatetsu stock...]<<<<<

>>>>>[And they should oust the Ork. Don't want no thick 'eadplates in
charge of no corp. He'll just waste the place anyway. We all know what
orks are like. Their only interests are beer, food and having
litters.]<<<<<

>>>>>[So, how far up the ranking of big boys is Yamatetsu then. I mean,
is this something the others are likely to get involved in. Ya know,
grabbing assets, hostile takeovers, share buyouts that sort o' thing.
Might be a few pennies to be made on the stock market by a savvy
buyer.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Like anyone's gonna buy shares in a company run by a fraggin' ork
anyway. Filthy creatures.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Hey GKJ - Bite me!]<<<<<
-- Groover <23:23:31/04-30-59>


>>>>>[Ask an Ork, they got bigger teeth. Hey any truth in the rumour
that Ork tusks are good for piles? I hear they're in big demand instead
of ivory over in China. Grind 'em up, add paste and apply liberally.
Seems there's a suitable application for Orks after all.]<<<<<
-- GKJ <23:34:44/04-30-59>


>>>>>[There's some sort of power struggle building in a corporation that
could affect stocks, prices, employment and a few other things, and you
want to know about pile cream? Jeez there are some wacko's getting in
here lately.]<<<<<
-- Groover <23:36:02/04-30-59>


>>>>>[Who the fuck cares man? It's not like it matters is it? So some
corp might go bust coz it's got an Ork on the board. Big deal, like one
hasn't gone broke before huh?]<<<<<
-- Twitch <23:38:09/04-30-59>


>>>>>[Who cares? You're kidding right?]<<<<<
-- Groover <23:38:19/04-30-59>


>>>>>[No. Why? Fuck it, it ain't gonna affect me. I ain't got no
shares, and I ain't got no money to buy none. Why should I give a shit?
Take it to the damn money grubbers if yor that worried. This here's a
place for working types, not freaky stock brokers.]<<<<<
-- Twitch <23:41:26/04-30-59>


>>>>>[You sad sad little man. You have no idea of the implications
behind this do you?]<<<<<
-- Groover <23:41:31/04-30-59>


>>>>>[I ain't sad guy. I made me a decent score earlier. I c'n eat
again. Why should I be sad?]<<<<<
-- Twitch <23:42:04/04-30-59>


>>>>>[Because there's a fucking ork scumbag in charge of a powerful
corp, and that's gotta be bad for us norms.]<<<<<
-- GKJ <24:43:22/04-30-59>


>>>>>[Huh? How? So an ork's got a corp. Big fucking deal, what can he
do with it? Call in an air strike and wipe out norms? Yor full o' shit
GKJ, and I ain't got time for people who's full o' shit.]<<<<<
-- Twitch <23:44:13/04-30-59>


>>>>>[I give up.]<<<<<
