    She reminds me of a fembot, but I like it. Australian? We always keep bberg and cnbc on mute, that may have to change now so I can hear that nasty little accent.

    While the general population of the city is kinda boring, in my opinion, I did go to law school with a guy who’d been on the trading floor and he said the same thing. I have no data with which to compare the relative pervness of Chicago traders with any other traders, but it’s pretty high according to my source.

    The Chicago trading floors are like a big men’s locker room. I can’t imagine the NYMEX are much better. Probably worse.

    hah thats terrific.
    Last time I was in Chicago a trader started chatting me up with the line “Have you ever had sex in the pits? Do you want to?”
    I think he was a little taken aback when I replied with a straight face “during market or after hours?”

    This news comes (or should I say it arrives) too late to do Epstein any good, alas.

    just heard the new spice girl speak. she can’t pronounce “china” (she adds an “r” in there). a little awkward, but easy on the eyes…I just heard another woman say “that’s the story down under” talk about dirty – cnbc will do anything for ratings.

    It’s a race to the bottom, CNBC vs. Fox Business.
    My money is on Fox.

    1. Amanda is a 7 at best.

    @ 1-2 In that case it’s too bad I’ve conveniently lost your number; I know how much you appreciate a good lashing.
    To all the dibs: Solid effort.

    Everyone was pissed that Becky did not make an appearance. But we’re thinking they still may be bitter about us booing Ratigan .
