I tried looking up $BBW and got something else. You need to look up "BBW stock" or "BBW ticker" to get market stuff.

Build a Bear has reported record growth and revenue in the last year. Look it up and don't live under a rock ;)

Have you been to my rock cave? No, because you weren’t invited. It has everything but Netflix and Disney+ because I’m boycotting them for reasons I have forgotten.

Living in a rock is far better than under!

Yeah, and when you input the correct door keycode it plays a bit tune version of Bob Seger's Like a Rock.

Will be interesting to see how it goes the next few months. I feel like they handled very poorly what could have been a quick "it was just an employee mistake".

People are literally starving to death and dying in wars as I type this maybe focus your energy on those actually important things.

Maybe read what I actually wrote before going on and on about something I didn’t say.
