    I’d really like to see a picture of Bess. I mean, with all these posts about tits and dicks written with no real emotion, is she just a great reporter to her audience, or is she actually muff-diving on the reg?

    @2
    Bess is Charlie Gasparino
    Cue ‘Crying Game’

    I know Bess is the best!
    I saw Bess in person and what a f*cking gorgeous that she was but I didn’t notice the cleavage.

    @2 I met her a few months ago over the winter when she was dating my college roommate’s brother, a greenlight trader…she broke it off earlier this summer so I guess out of loyalty I should call her a bitch or something but she was sweet and very cute.

    @5 that would explain all the greenlight letter/performance numbers that db seems to get hours after they come out. guess she must be worth it.

    I don’t think I ever want to see a pic of Bess. I’ve come to accept her as an amorphous, faceless entity who provides us all with our daily fix.

    I’d feel much better knowing that my financial gossip came from a total hardbody versus a HERB of a woman.

    @13 rest easy…it’s the former.

    @14 – I appreciate the newsflash, but this still doesn’t give me meat beating material. Back to Brazzers for me…

    @9 i dunno, a bunch of us went to a hockey game (she wanted the devils to win, which automatically detracted pts in my book)..she was quite pretty, nicer than i’d expected her to be. the bar we went to had pingpong and she declared she was going to kick my ass…i beat the pants off her, playing lefty (she did throw some excellent trash talk my way which mitigated the embarassment but only slightly)…uh she was funny? and got shitfaced? my buddy’s brother, the one dating her at the time couldn’t stop grabbing her ass but she seemed to like it…i dont know what else to tell you

    She plays billiards, envies Martin Brodeur (Translation: no one guards the net better than she), and only has eyes for Einhorn.

    @30 what in the fuck are you talking about?

  32. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 12:04 AM

    BL told me that I was “too big to accommodate”

  33. Posted by guest | August 20, 2009 at 12:06 AM

    I always figured “artist” was just a polite way of saying “will fuck for drinks.” Good to see some of them have hobbies on the side.

    Just in case anyone didn’t do a double take, that is Equity Pirate, not Private which makes sense that its not EP in so many ways….but just making sure
