And here’s what he’s doing about it! If he’s told you fuckers once, he’s told you a thousand times– “do not cheap out on the new pussy palace.” And yet, here you are, going to Home Depot and just buying any old piece of easily shattered glass you can find, instead of the good stuff. How is this supposed to fly when there are asses to be backed up against it? This was a warning. Get it right. Or guess what? Maybe there won’t be any moving day for you. Maybe– if you don’t make this right– you’ll be bunking with Vikram in a Zen Garden-less cube.
Glass from window panes rained down from the upper floors of the trouble-plagued Goldman Sachs tower in lower Manhattan, snarling traffic for more than two hours yesterday afternoon, authorities said. Police closed West Street near Battery Park City after the glass from the 43-story skyscraper crashed onto the roadway. No injuries were reported.
The $2.4 billion office tower, slated for completion early in 2010, has been the site of a number of construction accidents over the past two years.
“Snarling traffic….” ???
I thought the word “snarl” pertained to aggressive facial motions evident among wild animals. Like tigers. Speaking of “Tigers”……….
that’s not good.
@1 that’s b/c you’re an idiot.
when I was told to make it rain, nobody said anything about glass not being cool.

Looks like IM Pei used the same great “falling glass” design from the Hancock Building in Boston for Lloyd.
glass my ass, those were uncut diamonds
Please don’t lean against the windows.
Thx
The other day I saw a faint outline of the image of Jesus in a few of the windows at 85 Broad. And there was the faint sound of singing from inside the building.
I think LB and the traders were singing hymns in there.
@9 you’re not from around here, are you?
thank G-d the kittens were OK.
9 = shmeggegie.
@11 if only the little league players could say the same.
@10:
I left about 10 years ago. Because of all the pollution.
@14 I meant the figurative place where people know that if there was praying going on inside 85B, it wouldn’t be to Jesus.
TGFD thinks that maybe God is sending the message to all His “workers” at Goldman Sachs that He is not too pleased with the temple being built by His chosen one, LB.
Maybe God’s telling them that His work is not to be done in that f’n temple.

@16 next time leave something resembling some sort of sense. thanks.
If Gasparino was Austrailian he’d be Hugh Jackman.
I like the comment on the Post article:
Build Safe, Build Union!
TGFD here. Just want to amend the statements made at 16, and admit that TGFD wants to offer shelter to each and every GS employee this holiday season. TGFD will be hosting a rave in TGFD’s basement, where we’ll drink Remy Martin and snort ketamine all the live long day. TGFD’s set this shin-dig up to accommodate each employee by offering crotchless vinyl jumpsuits. I’ll be showing BDSM footage, using the trailer as a projection screen. Porn will be out back, dancing down under (grrrrawr).
Can’t wait to see you jerks, and (in turn) offer a handy. Over and out.

@19 beat me to it… quality union work going on here
@15:
You mean to tell me that 85 Broad is not a monestary??!!!
Well I’ll be damned. I thought the people in that building worked with monks and nuns in that building!
Thanks for telling me, pal. I thought LB was a missionary.
I hate to be even remotely serious on such an absurd article but there is almost no traffic on that street so what exactly was being “snarled”?
@ anal_yst:
Don’t fuck with the union!

@23
absurd?
you’re not calling B. Lovin’s sincere religious devotion into question, are you?
@23
There’s no traffic on West Street (aka west side highway)? Sure, its not as packed as it is in midtown or chelsea, but desolate, it most certainly is not.
@23 see @26, buy a vowel, etc.
When you put Jachin and Boaz in the wrong place, bad things happen.
23,
WSHwy is to the West as FDR is to the East. C’mon!
@all
I was thinking of Murray street when I read West street because I recalled the hammer incident. That’s what I get for trying to be serious for 5. Never again.

@28 Mason comments? How long have you worked at the Fed?
@23/30
Good, just don’t let it happen again.
Is LB still going forward with plans for handing over naming rights to Chateauneuf du Pape?
