I am so bored lately with this hobby. Too many blogs blogging about the same old stuff, it is getting really repetitive out there…How many “deals” can we all take?
I am doing a dump here of what I have in my link queue…
We have a detailed explanation of the Citi 24 month churning rule. The post has some really good questions and answers too. I miss the good old Citibank days handing out miles for their credit cards over…and over…and over #goodtimes.
Well, this was news to me. Transferring Starwood Starpoints to Marriott Rewards does NOT extend the life of the Marriott points. The other way it works fine. This makes no sense but hey, this is Marriott we are talking about. So beware!
50% off on up to 5 Uber rides with this AndroidPay promo.
Men of Stamina. Before you think this has a sexual theme, I assure you it does not! It is just a fascinating piece on history’s grittiest movers and shakers. Maybe one day TBB will appear in the “Bloggers of Stamina” edition lol.
Sometimes I wonder about some people. Like this one in this article from Australia: “Strapped Student Blows $1.5 Million From Bank Glitch On Cars, Boats And Strippers“. Well, at least he had a good time before he went to jail.
A wonderful travel video through Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Market predictions for 2017. Right on, hilarious!
The last paintings of famous artists.
Radio Garden. Move around the world and see what local radios you can stream, very cool. I have it preset to a radio station from my hometown Larissa, Greece.
The most beautiful places of worship.
I forgot I have a TBB youtube page! So, I uploaded a couple of videos from my trip to Iran and thankfully they did not show up upside down, phew! This one below is my favorite:
And this one is from the epicenter of capitalism, downtown Tehran, this is how they set the exchange rates in the currency black market…
If you more tech inclined readers can tell me how to get rid of the black sides in the videos, in an easy to understand manner, that would be great!
Her pictures just never stop, WTF! For the record, I gave up my modeling career a long time ago, come on!
Thanks to the three readers who got the Chase Sapphire Reserve with my links. Unfortunately, due to some retroactive change, I am now deep in the hole for the month of December! This blog innovates again, probably the only blog in history to lose hundreds in a month after more than four years in existence. My enemies are laughing at my expense. Hey, this is about your entertainment lol. Makes no click days look awesome, maybe TPG can buy me out 🙂
And I leave you with this…

First among those who used the Amazon link yesterday. (Which is first indeed-or is it in deed?).
Gracias indeed….indeed.com is a hell of job search engine by the way if anyone here is looking for a job, we know you are not 🙂
Gold? Nope. Platinum? Nope. TBB Global Services? Yup!
Can you believe that Sam guy taking the Gold you deserve by a few fractions of a second??
TBB Global Services….wow, love the sound of this!
One day when TPG buys me out and I throw a party to thank my readers, I will have a name tag for you “ScottCastle, TBB Global Services”….Hey, we can all dream!
Can I at least get a free parking spot in downtown Chicago for the rest of my life?
TBB, I suggest you do it here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Chicago,_Minnesota
>>>>>>Knowles Creek flows through the community. The community is located at the junction of Lonsdale Boulevard (MN 19) and Canby Trail.
I always wanted to throw a party next to a Creek, yes!
I’ll take sapphire for third. Had to go to recon for it. Then escalations Dept. Fought the good fight and have the shiny metal in hand. Glad to give you the click thru.
Thanks a lot! Reminds me of at Beastie Boys “You gotta fight, for your right, to…get more Ultimate Reward points!” 🙂
It is only 446am here and I can’t even get a bronze ? ?
At 4.30 am your time you may have a shot!
About Uber and Android Pay, can someone advise me?
Sometimes I use Uber to pick up someone from my place and take them back home. Since AP works by NFC, I’m just wondering if that will work in this situation. Ie. I won’t be there when the final fare is calculated.
Thanks!
I wondered about that too…I don’t think it is possible but what do I know…Anyone?
Radio garden is awesome. Sadly doesn’t cover Kim Jong-un’s homeland. Nothing compares to Christmas songs in Icelandic.
It is!
Wishing you and all your readers a Happy Holiday!!!……………………Keep up the good work, we enjoy your blog very much.
Almost forgot…..5th
HT: Satan’s Wing Man
One day I will figure out how to add my own Avatar! I am so busy pumping plastic you know to figure it out hehe
Getting rid of the black bars on the side of your video? Record with your phone turned horizontal – also helps not to use an iPhone. Please don’t be one of those iPhone users who record videos vertically… what is this 1997? It’s a wide screen world now, record it that way!
Yes yes! No more using my phone sideways, learned my lesson!
Finally an article about my favorite football position, long snapper:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2016/dec/14/lp-ladouceur-long-snapper-dallas-cowboys-nfl
Poor guy only makes $1M a year.
10 years, never made an error, WOW!
So, how much did the fine company we are all using for plastic nick you? My loss hurt! And I am pissed off and I don’t buy their argument for something they did for over two months and just now, magically, discover? Or are some execs just grabbing our money to hit a bonus me thinks…
Lets see who falls next, hope it is not you. My bet is Mommy Points folds or gets hired by TPG too.
One of the Emily pics is downright scary.
Things are slowing down…but it may be the whole holiday mode kicking in slowly. Take some time off if you need to recharge.
Email me.
You don’t want to know the first thing that came to mind about that 2n pick…
I am trying to slow down. Maybe I should take 2 weeks off like Mile Nerd does. And he gets a buyout offer and I get requests to pay back mucho dinero…WTF!!
I’m mad I could never find an angle for Sagrada Familia to take a photo without the cranes in the frame!
Don’t get mad, get even!
Not sure how…it is late and I am going to bed now 🙂
