As previously mentioned, one of the greatest things that went down at yesterday’s Financial Crisis Inquiry was the aggressive and plentiful display of Lloyd Blankfein’s mug. The stink eye, the scrunched face, it was all spectacular. Whether it was waiting for Bill Thomas to finish his magnum opus on email, preparing to cut a bitch, or looking at the guy at the other end of the table, knowing he wasn’t Ken Lewis but still having difficulty placing him, there it was. I don’t know if this is an intimidation tactic, if he needs to have his eyes checked, or if it’s involuntary, I just know we want, nay, need more of it in our lives, and would offer that Goldman would be wise to at least just consider introducing the Lloyd Cam, so we could have a live feed of this thing at all times. For now, we have this:
Where is his O-face?
@1 you're looking at it
does he look like pee wee herman to anyone but me?
Otherwise known to most as the face of God.
@3 – Yes; perhaps his older, meaner, brother.
I would probably do him with the lights on.
Lloyd is a straight-up mad scientist.

The 2nd picture looks like he is taking his daily dump in Ken Lewis's mouth.
KRAMER: Alright, so there I am at Lorenzo's – loading up my slice of pizza at the fixin's bar.. garlic, and what-not.. mmm, mmm.. and I see this guy over at the pizza boxes giving me the stink-eye. So I give hime the crook-eye back, you know.. Then, I notice that he's not alone! I'm taking on the entire Goldman Sachs Boys!
JERRY: The Goldman Sachs Boys? There's a street gang named after the Investment Bank?
KRAMER: Oh yeah, and they're just as mean as he was! So, I make a move to the door, you know, they block it! So, I lunged for the bathroom. I grab the knob – Occupado! Then they back me up agains the cartoon map of Italy, and all of the sudden, they just stop.
ELAINE: What? What happened?
KRAMER: Because I'm still holding the garlic shaker.. Yeah.. like this (grabs Jerry's peper shaker, and demonstrates) I'm only showing eight fingers.
JERRY: Well, what does that mean?
KRAMER: That's their secret sign! See, all of Goldman's top management makes a minimum of 8 figures.. (Holds up 8 fingers) They thought I was a former G.S. Boy!
Count Squintula…ah..ah..ah..aahh
That eye is on the back of every dollar bill.
1. gently passing flatus
2. pinching a loaf with conviction
3. evil eye
4. like my Timex watch?
5. Daydreaming, "last night while executing #2, I absolutely crushed it at Brickbreaker. I da man!"

What would they have done if his name were Lloyd Blankfeinstein?
Looks like he has itchy haemorroids. Not good.
Last pic: "Correct, Ma'am. They're golden, and they are spectacular."
He kinda reminds me of this dude.
2nd on the pee wee herman doppelganger comment
I can't wait for the movie. Ed Asner is playing both Blankfein and Mack.

he looks like a bald iguana
OK, we've suffered. Can we have our Jamie Dimon screen grabs now?
looks like someone who eats shit to stay alive
OK, we've done our time. Can we have our Jamie Dimon screen grabs now, please?
Weak stink eye. Doesn't even approach the slightly bemused, utterly contemptuous glare of the champion, Dick Cheney.
1) Hmmm… Fart or Shart?
2) Gonna go for it… definitely Fart.
3) Oh Shit… VAR model was off
4) Breathe Blankey… sip up… think…
5) Ah Fuck it, I'll just blame it on Moynihan.
He forgets the pols don't fear him like bankers do.
This guy is a PR nightmare
2nd @ 24 & 26.
@31 did you watch the hearing? there were basically no shots of JD, as it was the LB show.
Did he become bald from doing so many "u-turns" under a wool blanket?
30=Lucas van Praag
@32 there was a hearing? when was this? what did they do wrong?
@34 yeah, we're really quaking in our boots. /heavy sarcasm

Charlie Gasparino actually gets live streaming video from a webcam in Lloyd's office.
It was obvious my man Jamie D got all the respect yesterday. Blankfein is a tool, he grew up in a high school locker.
Just wait till the Post has the bonus numbers on the front page like every year, you are going to see people lose their minds…
this is awesome.
@39 oh, no, I didn't get respect from a bunch of idiots. whatever shall I do.

I am a senator. What is prop trading?
There will be a point where favoring/saving Goldman will be the 3rd rail of politics
Push your luck at your peril. 700K on average for showing up to work
@41 you fail to see that it was picked up by every major news outlet, he may be one of the most hated men in this country right now besides Jeff Zucker and our own president. Go back to sleep you toolbox, and when you wake up make sure my car is washed for my three day weekend getaway. Ballbag
@44….man you really told him!
~Citi "Back Office Employee Choking" Instructor
@42 I am the head of a major bank. What's Prop trading? Hard to say, actually.
@10: Kudos. Well, at least 1 Kudo.
1) KMA
2) WTF
3) STFU
4) bzzzzzz
5) LOL
@43: There will be a point where favoring/saving the NEA/SEIU will be the 3rd rail of politics.
Push your luck at your peril. 70K on average for showing up to work for 7.05 hours per day (including meal and breaks), then retiring after 20-25 years at 50K per year, plus COLAs, plus paid health insurance, for life….
You fools should have seen the face I made when I commanded the earthquake to hit Haiti diverting attention from the hearings and providing a charitable beneficiary for the GS bonus pool. And yet you still mock me.
LB, dba God's right hand
I'm a Broadway stage manager. Prop trading. Nay, we need our props.
Are you sure that Goldman hasn't sent Wallace Shawn to testify on behalf of Lloyd Blankfein?

Remember Danny Devito practicing his "don't eff with me, I'm tougher than you" face in Get Shorty? Same thing. Sadly, though, no John Travolta character to let him know which of the five versions nailed it. I'm going with #4, although it's hard to know for sure, since the water glass is in the way.
Count Squintula…ah..ah..ah..aahh
Looks like he has itchy haemorroids. Not good.
