A hungry soul in equity derivatives at Tradition Financial Services will be taking the food eating challenge AYCE style. The contestant, rumored to be roughly 5’8″ and weighing in at 180 pounds will have one hour (starting at 1pm) to put down as many Dunkin Donuts Munchkins as possible. Any sort of projectile vomiting during the consumption phase will result in immediate disqualification but no post-meal conditions have been disclosed so far. Levels were reported to be 65/67 with 100 on each side roughly 20 minutes ago, but most recent quote is 65/72.
Update I: Levels are 62/65
Update II: 20 down 9 minutes in
Update III: 30 down 20 minutes in
Update IV: With five minutes left to go, the contestant hit the wall at 59 Munchkins and puked- resulting in a mandatory DQ. Tragic.

Looks so beagle

It’s been a week or so since a food challenge! I’ve been getting checking back every day and nothing…thank you Tradition Financial, thank you.
Greg,
these posts are for bess to write, you know, so that they will be funny and not make me want to gouge my eyes out.
So, Levin bounces for the weekend and leaves you in charge of all portfolios? And you think you have what it takes?
Will you be able to pull this post in one hour after this guy (or gal) at Tradition realizes he/she might get the axe? 5’8″ 180lbs is a pretty narrow range (esp for a girl)- jus sayin….
Oh yeah I’m going to subscribe you to all manner of bestiality porn websites after faking your work email address. Wait a min…
-not JM but on his/her side
They look so edible in that pic
Those look fucking delicious.

Does Erin Burnett have a tattoo on her left breast?
She has little bit of a cleavage today and noticed that one.
Greg: Wait, did I order glazed donuts?
Jeff Macke: No, you didn’t.
Greg: Well they gave me glazed.
Jeff Macke: No, they didn’t.
I like to put ketchup on my donuts, too.
-CG
been there, done that
Only Greg could screw this post up.
Kenney boy

@8 Yes, she has one there as well as on her lower back.

this seems to be going really slow…is there real competition? is it just this guy/gal against the clock?
Greg – I’m going to the volume on your clock radio up all the way and set it permanently to the polka station.

Why did 7 make me laugh so hard? It wasn’t even that funny.
@18 I bet the Joke Briefer would know.
@18 – I’m with you.
@18 because you can just imagine the drool forming in his jowls saying it.
kid puked at 59. All the shorts collected.
i don’t get these eating contests. is this a frat guy / douchebag thing that makes sense in finance?
23 = douchebag
again, yet another eating contest fail…YOU people just don’t learn – I know it’s friday, but c’mon, get your $hit together!
@23: Why so serious?
@18: I laughed my @ss off when I read that too.
@22 – It probably has its roots in the hazing rituals at trading desks prior to “sensitivity training” and litigious pansies.
Now, it’s a way for douches to impress their non-banking friends because they work at a bank/bucket-shop/insurer/auto finance co. GMAC rule the league tables! Yeah!
I think its time DB stopped providing these idiots with coverage unless there’s a real chance of fatal injury (ref. alcohol challenges) or involuntary defecation.
We can only hope he projectile vomitted on Greg
@23, why, yes, yes it is, in fact.
Eating contests like these are among the time-honored rituals that more than make sense to almost everyone who’s serious about high finance.
Anything else you’ve been wondering about?
30!
This guy runs the risk of elevating his blood sugar to the point where he’ll need emergency medical attention. Keep the ambulance on standby, b/c he’s going to ralph, have bresthing difficulty, and then go in to a glucose induced blackout.

@31: Sounds like an average Friday to me …
Gregg, I’m going to elevate your blood sugar until you have a breasthing difficulty.
-Jeff Macke
@31 is right. In order to counter the munchkins, he should now chug a quart of Vodka.
9 was the funniest post all day.
Speaking of equity derivs. brokers, was there just a shakeup on the desk at Phoenix?
@9 FTW this week…
Ring the fuckin bell…I wanna go home. tried {RING BELL} GO on bloomberg …no luck
Fuck the bell; I’m bailing at 3:30.
@ 15 JK
So what tattoo art Erin’s got on there?
Bess, we need a close up of Erin’s cleavage please!
@39 – what does the Mayor have to do with ringing the bell?
Glaze is for pussies, I dip my donuts in protein powder.
-CG
Tradition Financial Services? C’mon, now your just making shit up…
Erin Burnett has 3D tattoo between her legs.
32, that should be: MARK KLEIN, M.D.
Clearly this guy should be an MD at a bulge-bracket: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/09/18/us/AP-US-Burrito-Eating-Contest.html
