Dick Fuld might be laying low when it comes to keeping up with his middle aged white men sports but not Stan O'Neal! The guy who (indirectly) forced Merrill Lynch into the arms of Ken Lewis enjoyed himself a round at the Bayonne Golf Club Sunday morning. Elliptical Boy, seen here sizing up hole 18, shot an 82, followed up by a couple of well-deserved* vodka tonics. According to an onlooker checking Big Stan out in the grill room, "he seemed totally calm, without a care in the world." This may or may not have something to do with the fact that he's literally spent the entire month on the golf course, having played 12 rounds as of Sunday. Jimmy Cayne hasn't even gotten high that many times since 9/1.

Posted by guest , Sep 21, 2009 10:44AM
The last time I saw Stan it was in the men's room at the ML mid-town conference center. It was after he "retired", but he still had an office there. He was coming out of as stall after taking a dump... he seemed totally calm without a care in the world then too.....

uhhh, this post is about a black man, and portrays him as unemployed, drunk, wielding a club, and well endowed ("Big Stan".) Talk about repugnantly predjudiced.

@28,
Except for the well endowed part....
Posted by guest , Sep 21, 2009 11:08AM
@28 holy shit are you insane? or is this just your first time on db? bess basically nicknames every "Big [insert first or last name here]," merely reported what his drink order was, and, I don't know if you knew this, accurately noted that Stan O'Neal is retired from Merrill Lynch. You're the one who said unemployed. Take your projections elsewhere.

@6/28 Bess also referred to Stan as "Boy" in this post, can't believe you didn't remark on that.

@20 what does playing golf have to do with constipation?!
Flax is taken as a laxative.
Flak is a miltary term used for anti-aircraft guns (from the German FLiegerAbwehrKanone, aircraft defence cannon - see AB's post @27)
AB/@27 - I like the image of Germans throwing handfuls of seeds at passing Allied planes. Shhh! Don't mention the war.

Shaquille O'Neal?
Posted by Investorcluzo , Sep 21, 2009 12:01PM
I see what she did here…this is the difference between math and english majors. the math guys go straight for the answer, were the girls studying english try to read into things. exactly why women always jump to conclusions…
@38 - notice the spelling of "o'neal"...it's not "o'neil", see what they did there? it's like the difference between shaq and tatum.
@tax chicky - it makes me sad when you talk to other boys. hold me.

Once again, vodka tonics (plural) after a morning round? Beats church huh?
And pretty clearly, this picture isn't from that Sunday morning round.

Long shadows occur in the early morning just as readily as late afternoon. Just saying...

@52 - did you notice the shadows are going toward the east? not to mention, the first tee times for a 4 ball is 8:30, no way they got around in less than 3 hours and 30 minutes...get back to work beyatch! just sayin'
