From our Southern Connecticut librarian mole:
The New Canaan Library had 16 copies of Charlie Gasparino’s book ready to rent yesterday. Half of them are already checked out. He’s coming here to speak at the end of the month.

Leave it to those greedy white-shoe bastards in New Caanan to come up with a library that "rents" books.
When CG shows up, they should take the dozen metal folding chairs out of the basement to accomdate the crowd.

@1 yes, really.

They're going to be disappointed when they open the book and find ZERO pictures. Not one SINGLE picture in the entire book.

@ 1, 5 It's not a small taxi company, it's a transportation company.
Charlie is coming with a Patriot Act subpoena to take the names of the persons renting his book, and to beat the shit same.

Charlie:
As we discussed, when you arrive in New Caanan, make sure you are clean shaven, sober, and suitably attired. This mean no Adidas workout suits, no sleveless tops, and no gangster suit with wide pinstipes and lapels.
Futhermore, we will absolutely NOT TOLERATE you sneaking out back for a "smoke." And no pissing in the bushes, like with your last book signing appearance.

Are you saying S&P needs to merge with Moody's in order to survive?

New Canaan Book Talk: I bet the Bear and LEH traders who live there will pack the house, give him hell while he's talking, and even try to sucker punch him when he's at the table signing books for all their hot wives who think Gasparino is a stud. At least he still has a job and lucrative book deal while their hubbies are living off savings.

Hey So CT - get a good look at that face. It's fucksticks like him that have ruined New Canaan. Never been the same since UBS pitched their tent. You can take the girl out of Jersey but not the Jersey out of the girl. Go back to Hoboken/Long Island.

@31 - you're being a little rough. New Canaan has always had a Gasparino contingent in and south of the center of town. The funny thing about New Canaan is that the residents in the rest of New Canaan that have grandparents with names like Rocco and Angela, now have kids with names like Ashton and Ashley. It's amazing how 10 years as a salesman at Lehman or Bear turned an Italian into a WASP. The same is true for much of Darien.

I forgot to ask - how many of the Gasparino books at the New Canaan Library have already been colored in and did people stay within the lines?
