SOMEBODY SAVE BIFF BASNESS!

Picture 26.png
You guys, this is Greenwich Plaza, home of, among others, AQR. We don’t want to jump to any conclusions about what happened, and fingers crossed this is just a drill, but please, someone, if this is serious, make sure our boy gets out okay.

    While Greenwich Fire Dept. isn’t all that busy normally, no way do they send that kind of manpower just for a fire drill.

    Man, I wonder whether someone tried to burn down the lawyers office next door to AQR again. I also don’t miss the regular anthrax scares at RBS in #1

    It is almost 2pm on Friday, August 28th in Greenwich, Connecticut… that building must be 80% empty. No way is CA in the office.

    So Funny Bess. What would we do without you making us laugh every day. It’s Tontine’s Jeff Gendell in that building also. Maybe his investors started it to smoke him out and get him to admit he quit his fund becuase he didn’t have to balls to make his highwater mark back.

    Biff occasionally sits to the right of the main door smoking a cigar while whispering sweet nothings into Liew’s ear. Maybe the cigar lit last years leaves or, as @6 put it, the fire in his loins for Bess set the place on fire.
    Then again it’s probably yet another toaster fire.

    @13 are you suggesting they staged a fire to get out of happy hour with you? I would have thought that hanging out with you would have been right up Biff’s alley.

  19. Posted by Cliff Asness | August 28, 2009 at 2:09 PM

    Nothing to see, guys. A trader placed popcorn in the microwave, thus creating a fire and setting off the alarm. We put it out with our watermark.

    as implied in the video, there’s nothing to see here– Biff will be fine, considering he’d knock everyone over to get out of the place first, like the sucker of cock he is.

  22. Posted by guest | August 28, 2009 at 2:13 PM

    There are a few different offices in there, not just AQR. Silver Point has offices there. Also, that parking lot faces the Greenwich train station. So it could be for any one of those things. And besides, it’s September, CA is probably in the Hamptons.

    Fucking microwave popcorn. Every company that provides microwave popcorn for traders has had financial trouble or gone out of business.

    It’s never okay to joke about a fire, or potential fire, until you know everyone’s safe. This is just sick.

    It is probably just their investors’ cash that is going up in smoke. They should send the cop cars next.

    How’s this @28:
    A fireman and a hedge fund trader died and both went to heaven where they were issued their wings with the warning that if they had even have one bad thought their wings would fall off.
    Well, everything went well for some time then one day they passed a very attractive and well put together young lady who reportedly had been laid off from a bank in New York City.
    As the fireman turned to watch her pass his wings fell off.
    When he bent over to pick them up the hedge fund trader’s wings fell off.

    Beth Levin has mistaken me for this dickhead Biff Blasness. It seems logical because Biff also works at AQR and in fact does the same exact thing I do and he also has a penchant for Valentino suits and Oliver Peoples glasses and sucking fat rhinoceros cock. Biff and I even go to the same barber, although I have a slightly better haircut.

  45. Posted by guest | August 28, 2009 at 2:29 PM

    Sorry guys,
    I just wrote an investor letter that was so scintillating, that I closed with ‘burn after reading’. Get this, one of my employees that was proofreading it took it a bit too literally. This is not a PR stunt at all, but the real deal. I’m going for shock and awe. I know you guys can’t wait.

    And I said, I don’t care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I’m, I’m quitting, I’m going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they’ve moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it’s not okay because if they take my stapler then I’ll set the building on fire…

    Bernie and I just become intimate. He liked “role playing and was a big fan of the NYFD. He said that we would have sex on “the bell system.”
    He went on to say that one bell meant take your clothes off…two bells meant get into bed…and three bells meant start fooling around.
    Bernie and I met at the Willard one day and we decided to try out his system…. he hollered “One Bell” and I seductively took off my clothes. I was moist with excitement!
    Bernie hollered “Two Bells” and I got into bed.
    He hollered “Three Bells” and we started fooling around like crazy. Oh God my heart was beating so fast!!!
    A few minutes later, I surprised Bernie by yelling, “Four Bells.”
    “Four Bells?” Bernie asked, “What is ‘four bells’ signal?”
    “Let out more hose!” I yelled. “You’re nowhere near the fire!”

    I’m getting worried. I don’t think Biff is such an ass that, knowing that DB is sincerely worried about him, it’s been well over an hour and he hasn’t checked in to say he’s OK. I just have a bad feeling about this.

    Dennis Come Home (1943) not so much a great movie but an endictment of American excesses of the 40′s
    Starring Dennis Kneale as the eponymous evil prison guard and Lassie, a collie, as his downtrodden victim.
    Rated (R) for full frontal nudity, strong sexual content and canine language.
    Not to be confused with the movie “Lasie Come Home(1943)” of the same era.
