    Gasparino is working out in the park when Art Cashin strolls up.  Art is wearing a headband, tight gym shorts, tube socks and a T-shirts that says, “Friends of Fermentation”.  Gaspo asks, “Art? What are you doing here?”    Cashin replies, “Charlie, I want you to help me define my abs…”

    Gasparino says, “Sure…they’re flabby, out-of-shape, loose and hang over your belt….”

    Isn’t Charlie gay? Not that there’s anything wrong with that

    Gaspo is really cultivating that tough guy image rocking a workout fanny pack.

    -Guy who isn’t trying to submit something as unfunny for the contest but wants to make sure everyone notices the fanny pack in the top picture.

    For those keeping score, Charlie’s done ten pull-ups while Dick Parsons struggles to get the goose egg off the board

    Just a thought: pay those other guys to do your pull-ups for you while you buy their girlfriends a drink.

    One of the worse comments ever.

    Middle School-esque.

    I award you no points, and my God have mercy on your soul.

    Man, Dick Bove needs to trim his beard and take a shower. And what’s he doing working out with the Gasbag?

    I second the “not trying to be funny but WTF is up with the fanny pack?”. Perhaps he thinks it’s a necessary accessory if you’re rocking a gold wrist chain and white tube socks.

    I mean, sure, I don’t give a shit either what I look like when I exercise, but that’s mostly because no one from the NYT has a camera in my face.

    First Photo”They said I’d have to lift dumb bells but these two nit wits take the cake.”
    Second Photo “I sure never imagined that Under Armour meant up the crack”
    Third Photo “At least it was the contact and not the teeth that fell out”

    I love how the older dude on the right in the first pic is casually doing pull-ups in a t-shirt and denims. He looks like he’s holding the grid up for ape-like chaz to hang off.

    Charlie = too cheap to join a gym and insists on kicking underprivileged kids off of the playground before school.

    Is it just me or does the kid in the background of pic 1 look like he is getting ready to lay Charlie out?

    Why isn’t he at a bar having his “sources” buying him drinks?

  47. Posted by UseItorLoseIt | July 8, 2011 at 11:03 PM

    Is that a fanny pack or are you just glad to see me?
