Apparently Lemming Lazard is canceling its holiday party this year, though the employees don’t know yet. I don’t think I’m alone here in saying god damn you, people. You’re supposed to be doing better than everyone else (relatively speaking of course, let’s not get ahead of ourselves). And what’s more, now that the artists formerly known as investment banks have become hideous pedestrian bank banks, you are supposed to be picking up the slack and spending excessively no matter how “inappropriate” it might seem given the state of things. For all intents and purposes you are the new Goldman and would the old Goldman pull a stunt like this? Clearly I have to spell it out for you but the answer is no, they most certainly would not. Not only would they throw a party but they’d burn the place down and shout “we’ll buy you another one” over their shoulders to the owners as they stumbled out of the place. Jesus. You know, we were considering gifting you with a prime brokerage and prop desk for the holidays but if you can’t get the freaking holiday party right, how can we expect you front run clients?
Okay. Now that I’ve regained my composure what I’m thinking here is that there perhaps ‘stein is planning on sending a follow-up letter to his Jewish employees once the news hits the tape that says “don’t worry, we’re just getting rid of the Christmas party. On the down low, 8-day Hannukah Bacchanal is proceeding at a pace. Keep it kosher, Bruce.” We’d have no problem with this.

too Hebrew, can’t read
Fucking amazing BL, just awesome
how very chosen of you.
yawn
Bess – a DB party to fill the void could be very lucrative no?
Slow news day
get a life, @4
Here in PE no cancellations yet though I wish we would…
@6- we don’t make the news, just report it. why don’t you get out there and make something happen, Champ? Finger bang your colleague under the desk? Let us know!
Havent been watching…has CG made an appearance yet?
#10 i just came.
haha @6 – go home and cry
@10, CG had a great spot about 30 minutes ago…i’m paraphrasing here but:
CG: “Here’s what I shoulda said. Here’s what I got, I got scungilli, I got eggplant parmesan. I got the best eggplant in the city.”
and then he started talking about being at San Pietro…
I saw Charlie last night and all he kept saying was ” I want more Mayo”
Hint, whoever is not getting government money should be able to throw a party in December. Otherwise, there’s nothing for DB to crash this year. I bet Muffie is ready to crash some parties and report back.
has any consideration been given to a giant Jewish conspiracy which has crippled the economy in an attempt to destroy Christmas, egg nog and PRESENTS to return the chosen people to the top of the religious celebration heap?
If only the grinch had the capital the chosen ones have….there would have been no roast beast, only the empty feeling of government cheese.
The only thing you dbags will be crashing this year is your yogurt trucks in your mom’s basements while she yells “what’s going on down there?”
@18 your homoerotic writing makes me uncomfortable
if i were to “finger bang” my colleague, wouldn’t she actually be getting “finger-banged?”
either way, i’m on it!
@20- yes, but since the question was “[did you] finger bang a colleague under the desk” the way it was written is accurate.
Actually, fingerbanging has been in the news recently:

On a related front, I think the term “Hannukah Bacchanal” is somewhat inappropriate, given that the holiday specifically memorializes the defeat of the Greeks by the Yids. “Hannukah Schtupp-Fest” is probably more suitable.
Bess, you never cease to amaze me (RE: post #9). Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the clarification Bess @21.
