Oh hell to the yes people--Bella's ID card just arrived in the mail. Like those who've come before her, this baby's going to make bank. I'll set up an eBay account shortly, get your wallets ready. We were going to send all the proceeds to laid off Lehmans, but apparently some of you would prefer canines. Figure it out and let me know.

Definitely give the money to a worthwhile cause - abused animals or Toys for Tots or anything other than people who pulled in > 200% of the US median income last year.

7,
You're wrong. Don't even pretend that you don't know what's best for the children.

how much do you think a bounced Lehman check would auction for?

Word at 745 is the Bella underwent surgery last week and is not doing well.. Maybe someone who is left there can shed some light on this. Kevin, her handler worked his last day there on Friday.

ASPCA - they can't help themselves. Lehmanites (Bella not withstanding) can!

Apparently, she underwent a biopsy last Thursday and will get the results on Tuesday to see if she has cancer.
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 3:03PM
proceeds must go to Bella's retirement fund
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 3:04PM
Give the money to the children of the Lehman employees who made less than $50k/year, whose xmas is now f*cked.

Will the ID of a dead, cancerous dog be worth more or less than the ID of a live, unemployed dog?

Bess - where's your post on Kashkari's yearbook photo atop the infamous Ferrari?
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 3:34PM
prgy - after reading your prior comments, you aren't standing on solid ground. You are the idiot.
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 3:49PM
@22 I wonder why the infamous photo hasn't been widespread...? Bess if you can;t get the Kash-man's pic you will have to stand-in
Posted by Headless Horseman , Oct 20, 2008 4:01PM
Collectibles always trade higher posthumously off the bounce from the increased publicity. In this case, depending on the results of the biopsy, Bella's ID could receive a double bounce (death of Lehman & Bella?). Might want to hold the ID card in speculation?
I second 20's idea of setting up a fund to purchase Christmas presents for low-paid Lehman admins that got shafted by association.

@27- why dont you link to the original source (gawker, which db likely will in writeoffs) instead of passing it off as though clusterstock obtained the pic?
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 4:58PM
@27
i apologize but i googled it and it came up i didnt really read that much into it.

If Bella is sick then the money should go to her to help with recovery, if needed. Can anyone confirm? I support an ASPCA location that has a reputation of handling donations responsibly. I also like Make-A-Wish Foundation that helps very sick little dudes.
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 5:20PM
As a side note, given the recent unpleasantness we may want to revisit the use of the phrase "make bank" to mean "make a lot of money."
Perhaps we could now say, "bailed it in like a bailout."
Posted by guest , Oct 20, 2008 6:34PM
I don't think we're going to get that much money for it.
ASPCA is fine. There's lots of Lehman stuff on Ebay.
I met Bella several times. Very nice dog. Too bad she's sick.
