He’s a celebrity economist with alleged ties to some of the most dangerous women in the world. He’s got plaster vulvas on his walls. He parties with George Soros. On the outside, he’s got it all. And yet there’s still one thing Nouriel Roubini longs for. It’s a dream, really, that keeps him up all night and plagues him ’til the early hours of the morning. And that dream is to become the best lay this town has ever seen. As he is deadly serious about this goal, Dr. Doom is broadcasting it on the pages of the Financial Times. He’s willing to put in as many hours as it takes but he needs you to help him get there. So give him all you got. Weird things, embarrassing things, things you could get arrested for. If you don’t have anything to offer re: banging, he’ll accept whatever you’ve got on riding horses but it’s not preferable. Help him out on this one and maybe down the road he’ll hook you up.

Q: Ideal travelling companion – dead, alive, historical, fictional?
A: Joseph Schumpeter, an Austrian economist who – as a true Renaissance man – argued that his three goals in life were to be the best economist, the best horseback rider and the best lover of his generation. He claims he achieved only two of them: I would ask him which and for good practical tips to achieve such goals.

    Reading between the lines I get this vibe here that Nouri want’s to fuck Schumpeter’s dead horse in the most economical way possible.

    Actually, I think Schumpeter claimed to be the best economist in the world, the best horseman in Austria, and the best lover in Vienna. He said that each accomplishment was of equal difficulty.

    Bess – any chance you will be interviewing Nouriel?

    Of all of the people, dear or alive, to spend time travelling with, he picks an economist?!!!!

    And, on top of that bit of weirdness, Dr. Doom seems to be ambivalent about which skill to perfect – horse-riding or fucking – since he claims to not know which thing Scumpeter was unsuccesful at.

    Bess do you like just the tip? I mean do you have any tips?

    Three goals:

    a) Break 250lbs.

    b) Get sponsored by the Minetta Tavern

    c) Get a wave runner for my place in Belmar. Prefer the color lavender if you have it.

    As an economist I strictly believe in the principle of comparative advantage: so I always eat out.

    1) Never give crazy a baby.
    2) Go for the ones whose parents no longer sleep in the same bed.
    3) Never buy dinner if you don’t have to/really want to.
    4) Keep your worlds separate when at all possible.
    5) Use the morning after to do the things you wish you’d done the night before.

    Isn’t horseback riding and fucking the same thing?

    many times after he made breakfast in the morning

    Bess, why don’t you do some under-the-covers reporting? Get yourself invited to one of his shindigs and report back on his current prowess. We must benchmark him if we are to measure his progress. I’ll run the results against Barra.

  28. Posted by Anal_yst | July 6, 2010 at 7:21 PM

    @15 that’s not bad, trying to get down to a 6:00 mile now, less focused on lifting, and don’t have a place in Belmar (or anywhere else this summer), and I prefer my waverunner to be hot pink, thanks.

    Anal_yst@28,
    So you can’t bench 250? Pussy – I hereby challenge you to a bench-off (yeah – it does sound bro-tastic), be at Minetta tavern 6:30 p.m. July 07. Don’t leave swass prints on the vinyl.

    Spoode

  33. Posted by Anal_yst | July 6, 2010 at 9:34 PM

    @32

    Not sure what I bench these days, usu rep at 205 and 225, not really interested in what I can do for 1 or 2 reps. I’d meet you @ Minetta but I’m busy tom, sorry, perhaps another time sweetcheeks.

  34. Posted by Spoode | July 6, 2010 at 10:02 PM

    Anal_yst@33,
    Like I said – can’t bench 250. And busy tomorrow? Really? You? Like I also said – pussy.

  35. Posted by Anonymous | July 6, 2010 at 11:13 PM

    that would be in the butt, bob

    And you think that I care what you think, why, exactly?

    @33,34 etc : Let me remind you that this is NOT a dating site!

    (also images of you guys “fag dancing” to techno music in a weights room is just too much)

    Roubini should go for fastest and most intense climax. Get ‘er done, get on with his day. Repeating the famous “2 Minute Rub-Out” on a daily basis will help him sprint faster….
