    This shot is clearly LB’s audition for “Diahrrea” in the Pepto Bismol song.

    Fab is the new “Nausea, and C Levin made the unprecedented grab of three parts: “Heartburn”, “Indigestion” and “Upset Stomach”.

    Levin also received special recognition for his multiple attempts to write a second verse of the Pepto Bismol song consisting only of the word “$hitty”.

    On my 29th interview with the Firm, I arrived at 200 West fifteen minutes early, and was greeted by Lucas. He showed me to West St. where a black car was purring, waiting to whisk me away. I took a seat in the back, and Lucas closed the door before asking me to roll down my window. “See you out there, sport.” The driver immediately pulled away.

    Moments after emerging from the Lincoln Tunnel, the driver pulled into an aerospace named Teterboro, and 5 men in black suits greeted me. They sat me down over tea, and asked basic questions regarding structured finance. Soon after, Lucas arrived in a helicopter, and I was escorted to greet him. He asked me whether I liked Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Knowing I only had 30 seconds to answer his question, and being familiar with the name but uncertain of the significance, I quickly replied, “Yes.” Lucas replied, “Good. Good.”

    As he boarded the helicopter, I asked him what this interview consisted of; alas, he hadn’t heard me with the starting roar of the rotar blades. He hovered high above my head, going higher and higher. There was a great blast of music floating through the air, before Lucas’ voice was across the intercom. He screamed, “C-O-L-L-A-T-E BITCH” repeatedly. It was then that I noticed the sky littered with falling sheets of paper. I ran into the field, trying to collect as many documents as possible, but it was extremely difficult with the paint balls hitting my person, and the music driving my anxiety, and the wind kicking up dirt and pollen, manipulating my ability to breathe properly.

    Two hours later, there I stood in front of Lloyd as he looked over the binder I had prepared at Teterboro. He looked up from the work I had created, squinted his eyes, and asked, “Can you come back next Wednesday?” Sure thing, I replied.

    Lloyd Blankfein watches Carl Levin (D-MI) exit the Senate hearing room after the following exchange:

    Carl: Frank let me handle this, he is making a few good points. I know a lot about the law and various other lawerings. I am well educated and well versed. I know that situations like this – real estate wise – they are very complex.
    Lloyd: Actually, they are pretty simple the forms are all boiler plate.
    Carl: OK, well we are all hungry and we are going to get to our hot plates soon enough, but let’s talk about the contract here.
    Lloyd: Sorry, I forget where did you go to law school?
    Carl: I am pleading the fifth sir.
    Lloyd: I would advise you do that.
    Carl: I will take that advice into cooperation. Now what say you and I go toe-to-toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
    Lloyd: I don’t think I am going to do anything close to that and I can see clearly you know nothing about the law. It seems like you have a tenuous grasp on the English language in general…
    Carl: Well, um filibuster.
    Lloyd: Do you know what that word means?

    Carl then screams something unintelligible and runs out of the back of the room.

    ” Do you like Phil Collins? I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn’t understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums.”
