there's nothing better than a nice big public p1ssing match between a couple of bsd's. two men enter, one man leaves!
oh, and f1rst! beyatches…
Too long, didn't read
@1,@2 = pansies
Keep fuckin' that chicken!
can we have some girl-on-girl action tomorrow. Say between EP and Muffie? That would round out my year nicely.
Got tired of waiting for the Cluzo vs Tax Chick vid.
-biff
@4 Ernie wins the most awesomely random comment of '09 by bludgeoning the competition.
@smug- well done. that was funny 2 years ago.
@6 yes you can have some girl on girl action between a fictional character and a mentally ill weirdo.
-wish granter
@6 don't ever sully biff's name with such a gay request again.
thx.
@bess– re that last link, CALL ME.
Don't show me bagatelle and tell me it's billiards.
@biff – you didn't get the video? "tax chick gone wild," sold out of stores in minutes. don't worry, the sequel comes out in april, "tax chick does the happy return…"
@cluzo- I wasn't referring to your debut with tax chick, but rather the ep/muffie crap. sorry for the confusion.
-biffman
@cluzo. Say hello to your mom.
TC's middle finger.
Shit, totally outta touch here. What's the deal with EP?
TC or Anal_yst @14,
What are your views on "The Happy Return"?
- Not the Anal_yst antagonist but a fan
Why is everyone yelling at @6?
@bess
enjoy the fun…don't sempricise the functince
@18 um..what?
"Delayed gratification is overrated: avoid the temptation to postpone pleasure. JO&C right now! "
thanks for the greenlight, bess.
I just did
what? no votes for "chip-tator"?
I vote for the chicken.
Keep on Keep on fuckin that chicken.
so the lambasting that citi took in that article: contra indicator? time to buy it?
The Drury girls appear to be on the verge of a breakout. Way too early for that kind of fantasy.
@24
Is that you Paulson? I told you to take the other side of that trade.
-S.C.
Best dealbreaker comment of 2009 = "examine your motives"
@27
Not even close.
Anything Handbridge-related, involving Amanda and the "Druries" (terrible wardrobe/makeup today, no?), Chang, that douche from fashion meets finance, the list goes on…
@ 28 is gay
Anal_yst, when are you going to put together a compendium of your various thoughts and musings?
-Not Anal_yst stalker, but a fan of his work.
Greg's mom and her risque fantasies involving multiple black men always amused me.
@31 – seconded. Nothing like Ms. Michaels doing the dirty dirty with Big Baby Jesus and friends.
Yes, greg's Mom. The poor woman with her naive Craiglist & KY evenings
Ror was the greatest comment of the year.
Biff's been taking care of his anal bleeding so j.chiang takes the prize for most commented thread.
Biggest douche: cg
Funniest guy: pfulger
Greatest editor: bess
Worst editor: Greg closely followed by EP
@34: I'm here all the time, but don't know "ROR" or what it's an acronym for….?
Anal_yst – what a nice DB nickname.Call me.
Tiger
Some of the best comments of the year were Jeff Macke, his fans and his barbarian hordes with their daily fantasies of doing ill to Greg.
Raugh out roud?
Anal_yst, what is your opinion on the ROR situation?
ROR wins a hundred times over. I just spit coffee all over my computer again when I read that.
@41 really? you have incredibly low comedy standards. also, I bet you didn't actually spit coffee on your computer.
You want funny, check out the "community" tab…
ROR? You douches make me sick.
Tax Chick.
@42 = Jeffrey Chiang

"I think there’s a general mis-understanding (let's call it a senior moment) among the senior management at AIG as to what we have and do represent to the rating agencies"
Douche of the decade = Cassano
Anal_testicle
hotel bill list guy makes top 10 poster of year, with joke explainer on the bubble (mainly for his involvement with HB capital)
@48, no.
Best new verb: mancission
best newly unemployed Greek = Chris Theoharis
Funniest thing ever written = ROR, hands down
Bigger contribution to the prison population this year 1) people from the world of finance 2) NFL players 3) crips ?
Most ambiguous genitalia of 2009= Bernie Madoff. is it big, is it small, does he have epididimitis?
2009 Triple Crown = Noel's
@NakedShort
too bad i didn't put my money where my mouth was on the badgers. the canes' pass attack was totally neutralized. solid upset- vegas knew best.
bowl picks: 2-1.
temple's second half performance was one of the worst of the entire season. more picks to come.
2009 Bottom-picker of the year = BHO
@51 – Jeffrey Epstein's egg-shaped penis is of greater ambiguity than Bernie's… Bernie admitted it was small.
The short lived, but funny "The Deadliest MBA" commenter was good, too.
Mancision and HotelBillGuy never fail to make my day better.
@ 54 = racist
@56 – speaking of the hotel bill guy (he had me smiling on several occassions), I'm going to throw this out there: how about an end of year expense report from bess (there were several good field trips)? just askin'…
I'm going to disagree about greg being so bad. without greg, there is no greggums…EP's mom/dad never showed up – did they not care enough to write?
Patrick Chewing
STFU about the greg shit. he's been gone for months. it was mildly amusing at first. given that he sucked so much dick, though, why can't you people not shut the hell up about him?
There never was a "Greg".
Well, all-a-yous guys, I'm cuttin' outta here early for New Years.
Happy New Year! May 2010 bring joy and riches to all-a-yous greedy, devious, widow- and orphan-robbing bastids!

The very concept of a "Greg" is founded in the presence of numerical hypotheses leaning towards a veritable cavalcade of prosthetics milking the rectums of better days.
When Greg's mom wore nothing but a black leather glove on her right arm, as well as red tube-socks and a Purple Rain halter-top, the gods convened to form this "Greg" entity I have learned to duct-tape in numerous ways over this past year. From his mouth to his eyes to his ankles to his man breasts, duct-taping has occurred, safety words have been warranted, and car people have overlooked contractual agreements in Poughkeepsie gas station shooting galleries.
The holy grail has been compounded in Greg's blanus with caulking properties and medical adhesives.
I am to Greg's truisms as a snake is to Indiana Jones. And so it is. And so it will be, forever and more.
And you will know me by the trail of duct tape.
-Jeff Macke
Worst worst worst comments of the year were the CG ones. So overdone and not humorous.
@63
Amazing.
Anal,
Gracias. And btw, my restaurant recommendation was not a ruse to cause diarrhea, although that is a common side-effect (yet, well worth it). Happy new year to you and yours.
-L to the Izzay
how could I forget! yet another unintended benefit of greg: Macke! well done sir @63…
@anal – you every going to get that damn sell out book or should I put it up to the highest bidder on db?
64 = exactly right.
Ror was the greatest comment of the year.
Biff’s been taking care of his anal bleeding so j.chiang takes the prize for most commented thread.

@trojan the U really fucked me. Looks like I am going to have to go back to fleecing innocent people to cover that bad bet.
