He Could Be ANYWHERE

By

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’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.

    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?

    I’m thinking Isreal is Biff. He took the stock price almanac back in time and has been Warren Buffett the whole time…

    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.?
