Hey, what are you being for Halloween? Bess and I have been invited to a variety of Halloween parties and apparently Halloween falling in the middle of the week means that everyone feels entitled to tell you that you must wear a costume for, like, five days. Horrendous. Or even worse. So, we need your help. What should we dress up as this week.
We’ve got some conceptual ideas but we need your suggestions about how we should make these happen. Please let us know what you think the best ways to dress as the following.
• Credit Crunch.
• Oil roaring to record levels.
• Write downs.
• Ben Bernanke.
• Ben Bernake’s helicopter.
• Slutty Nasdaq.
• Slutty China.
• Slutty Warren Buffett.
• Slutty and Pregnant Becky Quick.
• Maria Bartiromo.
• Opec.
• Free furniture.
• Cheap chocolate.
• Proxy access.

I think there could be a play with Captain (Credit) Crunch
Andrew Tong dressed as a man.
not sure if we first heard about it here or on los – but throw optimus sub-prime in there for ideas as well – i need to make this happen
How about you the old Suit and Crab Claws number carney
Question for the peanut gallery:
I have the dubious honor of, in addition to my “real” responsibilities, running the NY office of the fund I work for. A few people asked (or perhaps “importuned” is a better characterization) if I would object to people coming to work in costume on Halloween. While I usually don’t impose much discipline, order, or even organization, I found this request a little much. I mean — what do you call workers who work in costume? I think the technical term is “clown.” Where do clowns work? A circus. Should I let my office become a circus?
Anyway, the question is: am I being unreasonable?
HEY YOU FORGOT BECKY QUICK, WITH BIG BELLY AND ALL. oH YEAH AND WHAT ABOUT CHUCK PRINCE AND STAN O’NEAL? THOSE WOULD BE BIG HITS AT A WALLSTREET HALLOWEEN PARTY
To Ben _H……..Why in hell don’t you try to stick to subject at the top of this site….and keep your bullshit confined to Dealbreaker’s subject.
I’ve been trying to get my best friend to be “The Donut” in Medicare Part D for a long time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donut_Hole_%28Medicare%29
But he keeps refusing. He was, however, “runaway inflation” a couple years ago.
as Tim Sykes for costume
Ben,
it probably already is a circus, unbeknownst to you.
Sexual Harassment Panda
or cheap chocolate- an ethnic transvestite hooker
Pimp N Ho
Michael Vick
watchmen, i notice you don’t have anything to post on the subject of this topic either. so you just want to post to be a dick? or what?
in fact nobody has had any comment on the subject “Please let us know what you think the best ways to dress as the following.”
Haven’t even seen a halfway decent answer to Dealbreaker’s question… nice work everyone
@ Ben H – meet in the middle – let the people who lose money dress as clowns, the money makers get the day off
wear masks of ….any of the CEO’s of our financial firms. Scary shit seeing them come into a room especially if you have any cash in your pocket. “HI, I’m Stan O’Neil, let me give you some investment advice.”
slutty china – John, we already know you know how they dress. Don’t pretend like you don’t.
Are you kidding me? No Jeff Epstein?
Something both guys and girls dress up as is Maxamillia(n)
John Devaney — just wear a captain’s hat without owning a boat.
I tell a couple of them that it is okay, then openly mock them when they are the only ones that show up in drag.
Between Bartiromo, Bernanke, and Becky Quick, there has to be some sort of face in lap/up investors ass type costume out there somewhere.
Michael Vick anyone? I did the jersey with a little bloody dog.
Captain Credit Crunch; you could dress up as captain crunch and make a toilet paper roll of rating agency reports.
I had a friend last year go as Facebook. Should ask what he’s going as this year and try and put money into it.
Go trick or treating as Jeff Epstein’ s terrycloth towel.
Anonymous……..If you would take a walk to the mall or stick your head in the toilet……you would save a lot of space for someone with a brain to comment on subject. True I don’t have a comment but this is not potpourri time.
Lippy Tex, expand on that theme.
Go as Maxamillia’s (?) banana hammock.
thanks for reiterating that you are a dick. if you are so concerned with saving space, maybe you should stop being the dealbreaker moderator hey?
I’m gonna just be a Big Swinging Dick…ladies get in line.
I think I’m going dressed as a Dick in a Box, which really just means I’m just going as me just wearing a box
I’m going as a NINJA loan.
Jeffrey Epstein’s towel…Any takers?
Going as Angelo Mozilo’s spray on tan would realy get the party started
(1) Todd Thomson with a life-size Maria Bartiromo doll attached to my crotch.
(2) Dirty homeless guy with a Merrill, Citi, or BoA ID.
(3) John Fitzgerald Page.
I actually could dress up as Stan O’Neal by dying my hair grey, wearing my normal suit and tie, and walking around with a “Recently Lost Job and $8 Billion Dollars, Will Work For Food” sign…
Best Halloween costume idea? Dick in a box!
I’m going to dress up as MLEC. Superman costume with a giant bottomless trashcan on my back.
Give-up Agreement………Hey, I like you first choice…..Happy Halloween
Give-up Agreement………Hey, I like your first choice…..Happy Halloween
