    "Yesterday afternoon I had to cut out early for a little trip to Wall Street North. " Wow, Bess, that was those most elegant rephrase of "I was stalking TBG yesterday afternoon" I've ever read.

    So, if Carl pulls this one out does he re-brand the casino "Trump Can't, but Icahn"?

    @11 Boone's is a key ingredient in KL's favorite drink. Charlotte Sangria, which is equal parts Boone's Farm and Fresca seasoned to taste with the Moonshine of your choice.

    Shouldn't they hit up the Chancellor of the Exchequer? Unless, of course, they'd prefer divorcing that Windsor woman and start paying tribute this way.

    Bess, You should have told the rep that Warren should have a coke, a smile, and STFU. You might want to investigate whether the flight was netjets or marquisjet. If it is the latter, there could be a card on eBay in the near future at a big discount. It's sale could add another point to your list of no-nos when evading prosecution.

    @18, Clearly you've never run a secret meeting, nor seen Fight Club.

    Oh, they're into saltwater fishing as well. There's no telling how much they have in gear. The entire $50 Billion may be wrapped up in their hobby.

    @35 You can sneeze $10K in fly fishing, even if your not trying to look impressive. If the guy is buying Abel reels just because they are "the best". I suspect it looks more like this. Multiple reels per rod (maybe three, since he was a jackass) and the salesman saw him coming. A 5 weight rod, a 6, an 8 for Salmon. A 1 weight because brookies are a blast on them. Regular waders, hip waders, neoprene, wet wading gear. Sunglasses based on lighting conditions. Vests and hip packs with just the right configuration for the waters. Oh and I haven't really even gotten to rods yet. This guy sounds like he would have insisted on at least a couple bamboo rods ($2-3K plus per). If this guy spent less that $50-100K on gear alone he never met a half decent salesman the entire time he was fishing.
