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.

That guy has the most punchable little face ever.
He looks so eagle in that pic.
Stan O’neal is not a middle-aged WHITE man
Fucking Irish.
Just another HBS grad doing what they do best.
Wow, it only took til 10AM for the racism to begin.
They let that type play at Bayonne?
@6 Thank God
Bayonne, did you say Bayonne? Seriously, better off dead. Things are bad when Jersey City is a step up….
@3 – if you read carefully, I think you’ll find that nobody said he was . . .
Why is white guy in blue shirt taking a leak on the green?
@6
What racism?
@6 uh, what are you talking about? easy on the knee-jerk reaction (to nothing), bro.
@11 because I had to take a leak, dickwad, okay?

vodka tonics without shame before noon? I have got to start playing golf.
Rumor has it Gasparino was caddying for O’Neal.
@16 – what are you talking about? look at the long shadows. clearly afternoon…perhaps you need a second helping of coffee.

“Returning to his hometown, Bayonne, the author marvels at the incongruity of an ultra-exclusive golf club sharing a zip code with a city that’s best known as a punch line”
Leave the guy alone, Can he not even play a game of golf without taking flax?
@17 I’d put up good money to see that shit.
@cluzo, sorry, my b, I’m shitfaced already.
how cool would it have been to see ML and WB merged?
kl@22 – don’t your handlers know that it’s the red cup in the afternoon and the blue cup in am? damn, even in a great recession you still can’t get good help!
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…..
@24 the recession is over.
@20 – Flax? Maybe that’s why the Germans lost the war.
@13
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.
@ 6
@28,
Except for the well endowed part….
@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.
Stan O’Neal is a bad mamma jamma.
-M. Waters
@30 – You may want to get a sense of humor. I believe 28 was being funny.
@6/28 Bess also referred to Stan as “Boy” in this post, can’t believe you didn’t remark on that.
@ 33
OMG OMG OMG
@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.
@Tax Chick – the war was a lie. It never happened.
@MaFuckJad/ 36 – Go get ass-raped by Mel Gibson’s father and leave the adults to have their fun.
Still can’t get over the notion that Irish brothers exist.
@35/Tax Chick–
What the Focke are you talking about?
@ 38, duh, havent you heard the term “black irish”?
Shaquille O’Neal?
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.
@39 – You know what the Falk(land) I’m talking about.
@39 you dirty Fokker
All true.
-Eddie Murphy
@38 – Wayne Brady?
@Tax Chick – The 8th Air Force quickly learned that flax jackets were stylish, but no good at stopping shrapnel.
@42 – Cluzo – Any girl that makes Basil Fawlty references is worth pursuing. Tally ho!
@47
I mentioend it once but I think I got away with it .
@11
He’s not taking a leak…he’s lining up his putz.
I have an entire chapter of my book devoted to the Stan O’Neal “Endowment”

:…a round at the Bayonne Golf Club Sunday morning…”
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…
- Not the regular just saying guy
@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’
