Lehman Brothers is currently holding a fire sale at 745 on all company merchandise to place in a glass case next to the shit you bought from Bear and are planning on buying from Morgan Stanley. Those on the front line report that "it is like like a scene out of Indepedence Day or Jumanji the way people are crashing into each other grabbing at stuff." Swag includes the usual duffle bags, Polos, sweatshirts and golf balls and some items you probably wouldn't expect, like periodicals "on Irish people" (really) and the blood stained Brooks Brothers jacket Fuld was wearing last year when he rumbled with a fellow parent at his kid's ice and hockey game and lost. Apparently there's enough DNA on the thing for you to clone your own inept Wall Street CEO. That one's gonna go fast so we suggest getting there stat.
Get Your Lehman Brothers Collectors Items Now!

Too busy waiting for all my UBS swag to be worth something. I've given up on my UBS stock ever being worth anything.

Still nothing from Carney????
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 5:46PM
@2...fuck off and don't talk to or about BL that way. Scumbag.
"clone your own inept Wall Street CEO" - nice.
When will someone sell Jimmy Cayne's roach clip?

@ 7
If you were Carney, wouldn't you have checked out as well?

JC: Though I rarely agree with your politics and my faith in the free markets is not nearly as strong as yours, let me congratulate you on consistently good work and wish you all the best with the new gig. GAnalYst

Dude Carney posted one thing in the People Moves post - he said "Thanks."
The man rights manifestos about about incoherent policy and then we read that shit and he can't even give us a good bye manifesto or rant...
Bess is the stalwart...reliable, sturdy. Like those old Smith Barney commercials...she writes post the old fashion way...she pulls the fucking trigger and shows us what we want.
Except a photograph.
Posted by John Carney , Sep 18, 2008 6:14PM
I'll give you a farewell manifesto tomorrow!

@8 all i'm saying is, let it go.
how much more do we have to hear about this crap? News fine, but this is not news. :That's what your beloved BL gives you, crap. b/c that's what you deserve.

I want the funny-house mirror from Fuld's bedroom. The one he stood in front of each morning and yelled WHO'S BAD?? HUHH PUNK? and the mirror would repond "YOU DICKIE, YOU!!"
Then our boy Dickie stepped outside and got beat up by Richard Simmons.

Make it good Carney...hell make it enticing and intriguing enough and some of us schlubs may check out your new digs.

puh-leez i have been in the building the entire week and there is no "jumanji" or however the fuck you spell that exceedingly obscure reference. many people went to the gift shop to BUY lehman stuff, and maybe they are putting some of that on ebay. but there is no gift shop in HQ. so get the facts next time biotch.
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 9:16PM
Maybe Bess makes shit up? Ever consider that? She has you bozos so enraptured she could tell you anything and you'd believe it.
Thanks for the TRUTH @26.
It's some stupid ass movie with Robin Williams. Guess ol' Bess spends a lot of time with her DVD player and old stupid movies.
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 9:20PM
im the leh employee who sent bess the tip, douche bag...people were putting leh swag on ebay as early as monday, dumb ass...same thing happened at bear.
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 9:30PM
did you also say this:
"Those on the front line report that "it is like like a scene out of Indepedence Day or Jumanji the way people are crashing into each other grabbing at stuff."
No one is disputing swag sales on Ebay, but methinks Royal Bess doth exaggerate a tad.
OK, fart face?

@29-- actually, that's exactly what i wrote.
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 9:36PM
Jumanji? Oooh you are so cool dude. You ask chicks back to your place to watch Jumanji right?
Posted by guest , Sep 18, 2008 9:41PM
