I'm feeling a bit conflicted at the moment, cause while I did indeed suggest (by saying outright) that you guys were pussies for undertaking such stunning feats of gastrointestinal fortitude as eating three bags of (vending machine-sized) chips in 8 hours, I didn't expect you'd raise the bar this high (and low). As we type, an employee on the Wachovia rates desk is attempting to eat three cans of cat food, in thirty minutes (beginning at 11:50). If he pukes he must eat it. Cash prize at stake.
Update, 11:59AM: He's added hot sauce.
Update, 1:00PM: Finished in 30, no puking. Waiting on cash prize.

$20 on puking

@3, if you are correct and "If he pukes he must eat it.", then it might be time for him to consider moving back in with his parents.

@5- if another idiot on here calls a fraternity a frat.... Obviously you were not in one. Would you call your country a cun+?
As to the tool at Wachovia, good on ya. Sure you're impressing the heck out of your peers and desk heads. Early Dec '09 conversation on comp., desk head and unit head: "Trader Vinny. Ok year... hey, remember when he ate the cat food?" "Dope, dock that square toe shoe-wearing guinea 25% from his bonus..."

The canned food in gel is nasty, stick with the turkey and giblets, yum! If you eat it all have a Pounce treat!

Actually, right now? Yes. Oh... wait... that question was rhetorical.
Posted by guest , Mar 06, 2009 12:41PM
Surprised they are letting this go on. At Wachovia in Richmond (now defunct due to their ruining of AG Edwards) upper management put the kibash on the Vending Machine challenge. I think they were more concerned about a lawsuit from the soon to be sick person than the gambling.
I guess now they don't care about it, they are just playing with taxpayer money.
And not surprised it is "pussy food" they are eating.
Posted by guest , Mar 06, 2009 12:42PM
I would probably not call my country a count. Is that what you are saying?
@21/@22 - dont bother. He is obviously just out of school and all fiesty about it.

I'm constantly amazed at the passion with which frat boys defend the system and the related sense of brotherhood. To an outsider it sounds like you must have been spending your evenings sucking each others cocks.
Posted by guest , Mar 06, 2009 12:50PM
Bess - I must take issue with your journalistic reporting. You forgot to mention that with the cutbacks in staff, salary, and bonuses at Wachovia employees can no longer to buy lunch, or food.
Retirees in Florida are not the only ones eating pet food to get by during these times.

Still doesn't top the old Naval Academy wardroom challenge - pour all of the condiments on the table into a glass (ketchup, mustard, A-1, tabasco, etc.) and chug it. How the term "technicolor yawn" was invented.

Could someone please contact investor relations, 1-888-662-7865 or email investorrelations@wellsfargo.com, at WFC to inquire if John Stumpf, CEO, will be issuing a congratulations to this fine example of an Wachovia employee (who has merged into Wells Fargo).
Certainly this employee posesses the values that will make the franchise greater. He would make any organization proud!

Posted by guest , Mar 06, 2009 1:08PM
Well done! Everyone better get accustomed to the taste of cat food. It's what the new administration is going to have us eat. It's the new government cheese.

Have to gamble on cat food because it's not Nascar season.

@16 if another idiot uses that argument i'm going puke all over his face. fraternity has too many syllables for frat boys to remember thus frat was born. Same goes for veterinarians and refrigerator repairmen.

@39 for Investor Cluzo, I believe I recall from past posts that you enjoy playing with your putter. Rumors around the water cooler here that Bayonne, National and Friars Head all going into the tank shortly. Thoughts?

1. So?
2. Its not gay until you cum
3. Brotherhood above all else, including heterosexuality
4. The fraternity that showers together. . . stays together
5. The fraternity that plays competitive, interscholastic college sports and then throws soap on each others while showering. . .
6. Ever heard of the Sacred Band of Thebes?
7. If J. Winkelreid can do it, why can't you?
8. You were definitely nonners
9. You've never played battle dicks with your friends???
10. Frat!
@48
What the hell is the abridged version for a refrigerator repairman?
Oh, 'Ator Rep
Posted by guest , Mar 06, 2009 1:55PM
28 here again. I truly meant no offense. Read carefully: I didn't say you guys were gay, just that, based on everything you do and say, it appears that way. Its similar to the priesthood.
Posted by guest , Mar 06, 2009 1:58PM
@frat boys: do you get defensive because you are still struggling with having a banana (such as the one in the above picture) inserted in precarious locations during the pledge process.
Posted by Investorcluzo , Mar 06, 2009 2:01PM
@49 - not going down this year, dues stayed flat. no new members likely at current rates, so look for them to come down. should be interesting to see how many guys are out playing mid-week rounds.
liberty is hosting the fedex cup this year, so it's not likely that firestone would do anything to look foolish. just don't hold your breath for those condos to be finished any time soon. kenny just finished the clubhouse last year and he's got deep pockets (probably half as deep now). eric has clubmax behind him, so he may be able to play a shell game for a while.

With the way analyst bonuses are looking, its probably a great way to supplement your income for the year. Tax free too....
Whats the going rate these days for 3 cans of cat food on the trading desk? Hopefully more than $1000

I don't think the challenge should count if you work at a retail banking branch...they're not subject to the same stress [read BS] as us Excel / PPT jockies.

No upside to this contest. If he eats the cat food or fails, either way that makes him a pussy.
