^Sounds like a very nice family feast!  I doubt you could have paid for a more satisfying dinner.

 With all this frantic, french cocking going on, there's got to be a joke involving the name Bonaparte.

Along the lines of walls of text and over-investing...

 I have attempted to find Bitcoin addresses containing 10 letter words (after the initial 1) without regard for case (which makes it much easier) using a list of 22,399 words and the full processing capacity of my computer for 24 hours.  You'll be happy(er) to know, JJG, that I was able to find only one match from that entire list of words:

Pub Addr: 1ExeRcYCLeSxaZkCh7togWcSgcofRYVDLZ
Priv (WIF): L4o3NZYoSf6GVmLaxcaqtmunqiNBs77PNyANmpYtcL6r6dMtcCXb
Priv (HEX): 0xE202278FF792CE920126E8D3A2EE1483AB9FA00807B10B71EAACDAD1DD4D36E4

 and I believe that was mostly due to good luck.

 If I were to try for an exact case-sensitive match of 1ExercycLes (capital L because Bitcoin addresses can't use miniscule L capital I or Capital O) with random characters after it, I would need 2.4 years for a 50% chance of success.  ∴ your funds are SAFU.

 On a sad note, I will likely never find a 1JayJuanGee or a 1micgoossens address and a 1LastoftheV8s is just a pipe dream as I am dangerously close to the limit of my wife's generosity for tolerating computer upgrades for this decade.  (fortunately we start a new one soon!)

 I hate to disappoint Mr. MicG so this is for his reading pleasure:

 I get those all day long with my current hardware. 

 I need to know where to get those medical certificates.

lol chode
Haven't heard that one in a while; past tense of chide right?

 Thanks Dabs but my plan was to speed up his computer.  I was sick of the time it was taking to do anything when he asked me to "fix" something on it.  Cloud would really slow it down wouldn't it?  Internet speed is only 25mb/s here.

 It worked!!  All I have to do now is reconnect the DVD and I have a whole day off to waste!
Anyone need a computer upgrade?  I'm available.

  I wish!

  Bought dad a 1TB SSD for Christmas to speed up his computer a bit and I made the mistake of using an external rig USB3.0/eSata to mirror the old HDD and using Acronis True Image software.  At first, the computer wouldn't recognize the new drive (#$*% Windows).  I had to go into Computer Management > Storage > Disk Management and enable the drive.  I thought his computer had USB3.0 but as it turns out his computer only had USB2.0 and I didn't bring an extra SATA connector so it took 2 hours for the first 2 hours (yeah, shitty timing algo) and then it really started counting down from 2 hours (although not accurately but I had assumed ~20MB/s so I was prepared to wait)... watched a hockey game, daughter and I went out for a bite to eat - my wife went to see Frozen II with mom... I searched around for some Boxing day deals (there were none) and finally we got down to less than 10 minutes to go! Yay!!  Dad yells in from the other room "Uh oh!  It says "Error reading from sector x".  I looked at it and almost cried but I clicked ignore... another one... ignore another and another etc.  I decide to click "ignore all" - the time remaining goes back to 8 hours.  
Took the computer apart, cut some cable ties to free up a power connector and disconnected the DVD (luckily it was SATA), hooked up the new drive, reconfigured the BIOS, rebooted and ran the software again.  This time the countdown timer started at 30 minutes.  Ten minutes later it went to 38 minutes... I went home.  Dad called about an hour later (it was I nearly 10pm) and said "Another error".   "Click on ignore all", I said.  So I just called him now - he says it's all done; hopefully I will finish up soon.  I'm not too optimistic though.  I seem to have given the gift that keeps on giving (me grief!)

 Merry Christmas!
 
edit: I shouldn't complain so much  at least I'm off work

 Not 100% on this but you can try Phinnaeus Gage

 
 My man got some moves?

I must have been good this year; Santa got me some good stuff

 Maybe it's just a coincidence...

 ...albeit a fairly convincing one.

 Sounds like it was from the Dada and Surrealism period; possibly a Salvador Dalí.  Tell me, did it look like this:

?

 Be careful out there.  Merry Christmas

I heard he was going to donate all his coin to educational institutions.

“I have about 8 billion dollars’ worth of bitcoin and I’m donating them. Not as a joke. I’m giving them away. I want them to go to education. So my BTC are not going to go to me. I’ll keep my bitcoin — the bitcoin I created, the bitcoin I still work on.”
“I’m going to give it so that people in Africa can be educated, so that people in South America can be educated, so that people over here doing STEM — not stupid courses, real ones that lead to someone learning how to code, learning how to do math, not studying medieval dancing. And I had a girlfriend who did medieval dancing as a Masters so trust me I know how stupid it is.”

 No time to watch the charts today!  I still have to shop and wrap gifts... been working too much lately.

  Yes Mr. MicG, you are technically correct.

 I think only one line of the whole poem is in German - the rest you have to read as-written with a dutch accent... It's just a humorous version of the original.
Maybe it's not politically correct

Looks like micgoossens decided to buy back his lost Bitcoin stack today!  Sweet.
