    Hey everyone, I’m a regular over at Yahoo! but thought I would come check out this website because some of my friends at school said it was rad. Anyway, I have a first year analyst offer at Lehman for next year. Does anyone know what group at Barclays will be taking me and what my first year bonus should be? I can’t wait to get to the big city for models and bottles!

    Walk 12 paces west of the large patch of fescue that looks like it shouldn’t be there, then 2 feet past the waterline during low tide on the longest day of the year. Buried in three sealed plastic bags, that’s where you’ll find the money.

    And what about the point that Madoff suggests he acted alone? Well, gee, how convenient! So he’s saying that none of his employees — or sons or other relatives who worked all over the firm at the highest levels — knew anything about anything?
    I say that for Madoff to perpetrate this fraud alone would have been next to impossible given the scale of the business.
    And check out this note from a source: “I spoke with a friend today in Denver who used to call on them. [Madoff] had this separate activity for the ‘hedge fund.’ My friend tried to find out how to get into that part to get more biz from their firm. He was told that was run on a separate floor in a room to which only three people had access where the algorithms were running the money in this black box format.” Note: Three people is more than one people.

    son mark is a novice/wannabe fly fisherman who, instead of learning how to cast,tried to get instant cred by purchasing Abel Reels, a high-end fly reel manufacturer in CA. there’s a youtube video of him fly fishing (laughably) — search “mark madoff abel reels” what a poseur/douche.

    What’s the over under on the fly gear?
    $10,000?
    It looks like parts of the Snake outside Jackson where you are basically fishing next to the Jersey Turnpike.

    @20 – guy on the right has very tiny genitals – I’d prob call him “babydick” in fact

  56. Posted by EricM | December 15, 2008 at 4:25 PM

    @35
    You can sneeze $10K in fly fishing, even if your not trying to look impressive. If the guy is buying Abel reels just because they are “the best”. I suspect it looks more like this. Multiple reels per rod (maybe three, since he was a jackass) and the salesman saw him coming. A 5 weight rod, a 6, an 8 for Salmon. A 1 weight because brookies are a blast on them. Regular waders, hip waders, neoprene, wet wading gear. Sunglasses based on lighting conditions. Vests and hip packs with just the right configuration for the waters. Oh and I haven’t really even gotten to rods yet. This guy sounds like he would have insisted on at least a couple bamboo rods ($2-3K plus per). If this guy spent less that $50-100K on gear alone he never met a half decent salesman the entire time he was fishing.

    ‘I got told that if someone bought the same fishing gear as me I’d get a 20% discount next time’

    @Vol,
    I’m sure you’d fit right in.
    @43,
    Intrinsic value has little or nothing to do with fly fishing. In fact the concepts of ice cream and Tuesday have more in common with each other than ff and iv.

    A Montana photographed has taken a picture of the rare and seldom seen breeding pair of western “Mountain Jews”. Upon meeting the pair the male exclaimed to the photog., “every time I think the stereotype of the greedy lowland urban jew is past, THEY BRING US BACK”. Much like Al Pacino in the last and worst of the Godfather series. They then went off and were heard discussing how much of their lowland urban jew father estate was going to be left to them.
