It's going to be a great day and let me tell you why: Page Six reports that not-dead former hedge fund manager Samuel Israel believed in time travel and before the hours got crazy over at his Ponzi-scheme, spent nights and weekends building his very own Delorean. According to a trader who worked with Israel in the mid-90's, Sammy-boy "brought two of my friends from Wall Street into his basement and showed them the contraption [which he said he working on for the government]." We're not even going to run a poll asking you to pinpoint exactly where the industry's biggest M*A*S*H fan shipped off to, because it's patently obvious. A time and place where the interspecies love between a man and an egret is accepted.

I think you meant to say he could be anyWHEN.

I'm not sure what I expected when I clicked on the time machines tag, but I was definitely disappointed to see that there were no other posts with that tag.

Come on... where is Mr. Israel going to get a flux capacitor let alone 1.21 jigowatts in this bear market?

Sorry about the double post... I actually put the 10:31 post up first and like it so much I went back in time and posted it again at 10:30.

I was actually fortunate enough to be the sole beneficiary of the will written on Christopher Lloyd's acting career.

So we should be looking for the ass-tard driving around the city holding a lightning rod out his window?

He's probably somewhere looking for the continuum transfunctioner, dude.

If we're equating Israel to Doc Brown, who's Biff in this whole story?
Posted by ArtVandelay , Jun 18, 2008 1:47PM
I'm thinking Isreal is Biff. He took the stock price almanac back in time and has been Warren Buffett the whole time...
Posted by BlackSwan06 , Jun 18, 2008 1:52PM
I think he's in Kobi Alexander's guest house in Windhoek.

Biff = Tim Sykes, natch.

I'm in Greece right now, and I think I may have seen him on the beach today in Voula. Does Greece have an extradition treaty with the U.S.?
