GS was looking for a Blueprint to help with their 99 problems. They really needed someone with an Empire State of Mind to advise them...hence Jay-Z.
...after the visit, LB put his hands up and his butterflies flew away. In a gesture of approval, he nodded his head like yeah.

Some peeps at GS manage Jay Z's $$$. Dude is worth over $300 mill.
Posted by guest , Nov 25, 2009 3:09PM
@9 no shit he's worth that much, the question is why he popped in to make a visit.
Posted by CoveredLong , Nov 25, 2009 3:11PM
@7/NS - He moved his hips like yeah.
It was good to see him like that, he's been down lately, tummy was turned and he felt kind of homesick, just too much pressure, he was nervous.
...you know how it is though when your girls are not around. It can be tough out there.

How can CNBC put a chick anchor woman pregnant with twins on TV as a host? She makes Raj look svelte.

@10: can you read, ass wipe? His money is managed by GS. He's there for something called a "business meeting." This is not the first time he visited 85 broad so I don't know why this is even news. Anyway, get off DB and go back to wiping the dust off HDs, you IT bitch.

Greg,
I'm going to find you on the Metro-North Harlem line this evening, duct-tape your hands inside your pockets, put a kazoo in your mouth, and hide you in my duster coat. It's a long ride to Wassaic, in which I'll eat laffy taffy, and tell you a myriad of jokes, ranging from, "Where did the kittens go on the class trip -- to the meow-seum," to "Where does a penguin keep his money? -- in a snow bank." You will giggle at a few of these, which will sound-off the kazoo. I will slap it off your mouth, and replace it with a rape whistle. You will be the boy with the rape whistle, and duct-taped hands in your pockets, inside my duster.
We'll finally exit the train, at which time I'll walk you up the adjacent mountain side. I will duct-tape earphones to both sides of your head, open your ipod, and play, on repeat, "Get Down, Make Love" by Queen. I will then make you Tofurkey, watch you eat it, and tell you (repeatedly) how upset your father was upon learning your mother was absolutely, positively not going to venture down that alley-way to visit the "Dry Cleaner."
I will then duct-tape ice skates to each limb, and leave you on the mountain to live as Skeletor on "He-Man."
-Jeff Macke
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving, you bag of fucks.

Bess: Shazar, you've got a lot of balls, stealing my money. This shows leadership, I am promoting you to management.
Shazar: That's why I did it.
Greg: That's why I did it too, Bess! I stole lots of your money, what do I get?
Bess: You get dick, because you are a follower and a thief.

Greg: Yeah, we got turd.
Carney: I'll take a look at it.
(Group sighs relief)
[Cut to Carney's apartment]
Carney: Okay...well...it's definitely poop.
Equity Private: Uh, yeah. We know that, guy.
Carney: Whoever it was seems to have been eating newspaper.
Bess: Alright, now we're getting somewhere. Which one of you idiots was eating a goddamned newspaper??
Greg: It's gonna go both ways, Bess.
Bess: Really??
Greg: I'm sorry, yeah. What else?
Carney: This appears to be a piece of a credit card.
Shazam: Inconclusive.
Bess: How is that not specific to one of you!?
Greg: I wish it was, Bess...but that's inconclusive.
Carney: Alright, there's a good deal of blood in this stool.
Greg: Of course there is.
Carney: Whoever's it is should see a doctor.
Greg: Well don't give us judgments. Just...just tell us what's in there. What else.
Carney: This is wolf hair?
Greg: Wolf hair. Mm hm.
Shazam: Also inconclusive.
Bess: Jesus! Christ!
Greg: There is so much wolf hair in our apartment right now...
Bess: But why are you eating it!?
Greg: Well...you...it gets in everything.
Equity Private: Both of you are eating wolf!?
Greg: Have you tried it before?
Bess: You know what...
Equity Private: Guys, this is getting us nowhere. Can we go on to the DNA test, please?
Greg: Yeah can we do the DNA test?
Shazam: DNA test.
Carney: I...yeah, I can't do that.
Bess: What do you mean?? Aren't you a scientist??
Greg: Yeah, do it!
Carney: I'm an Econ. major. I just wanted to look at some poop.
Bess: Ugh.
Greg: What!? You're not a scientist??
Carney: I never said I was a scient...
Greg: Bro! You have wasted our time, you have ruined our turd.
Bess: That's the only piece of evidence that we have...
Carney: Okay, I did not...

Good morning to all the Friday-working drones! In the Department of Not News to Anyone With a Brain, a shiekdom in the middle of nowhere has been found to have insufficient cash flows to cover the expenses of building a city the size of Manhattan. In the Department of the Stunningly Obvious, Wall Street has been caught by surprise by said default.
And now, back to your regularly scheduled non-sequitur comments.

@Naked - what happens to this market if abu dahbi comes to the rescue? is that priced into this market drop or do we bounce?
@45 - I'm no drone - I took wednesday off to play golf b/c the weather was supposed to suck today (and it's getting there).
Posted by NakedShort , Nov 27, 2009 9:50AM
@cluz...Thats hard to say. Even if they do come to the rescue we'll find out that some other place fucked up bad in a few months and have to digest that as well.

Posted by CoveredLong , Nov 27, 2009 11:29AM
@53/NS - I'd normally take offense to that and then come up with some statistic or reason why the Giants are awesome and the Broncos suck. Unfortunately, I, like many other Giants fans this year, have given up on them. In fact, I probably hate them more than you do.
In fact, I think they should call them the Dubai Giants...a nice combo of suckage.
Then again, you can only hate what you love (maybe).

@BBF that is brutual. Never too early to start looking forward to the draft.
@CL Last nights game was a match up of total suckage. I can't believe I let the Broncos get my hopes up with the 6-0 start only to realize that they will be 9-7 or 8-8 and either miss the playoffs or get bounced Wild Card Weekend (probably by a large margin). At least the Cutler trade worked out nice.
