This is award season so I nominate yours as the "Best first post of the year", because: 1. You immediatelly attacked someone, although it is not clear whom. 2. You posted it in a 4 months old thread, asshole. 3. Nice namecalling, I guess to establish street credit here...
I just wanted to say welcome to the forum, and thanks for trading. I need all the help I can to skew my P&L this year and you seem to be the kind of guy I want in the mkt. Happy Holidays!
Some of my favorites from my days at the cboe- -TD tech guy trying to eat a full box krispy kremes, puking, then eating the puke. -Some dude ate like 100 slim jims in one trading day. Slim jim company wrote the guy a letter, first sentence-"We are so glad you enjoy our product." -Paging people-"peter north/ron jeremy to the qqq pit." "___ to the coke pit," "___ to pilsbury" "John Mclaine to the nakatomi pit." -One guy drank a 12 pack of bud light in 15min. -Some other broker drank a case of beer in under 2 hrs or something. -I think some clerk got paid to go outside and lick the unit on that Horse statue(before my time). -Couple of years ago, some porn briefly showed on the cable channel.
That was our broker MLV. There was a shitload of cash riding on it, and open outcry trades going up while he was doing it. Anyone who knew Danny bet with him. Since there was some fear from nonbelievers that he might die or something, we weren't sure where to do it. So we called the Ceres and asked if we could do it there. They said, "Oh, Danny's going to try it? sure, and we'll buy the beer for him". Now he just drinks vodka and falls asleep at our Christmas parties. good times
Y, I didn't want to put his acronym on the chat. He sure looked like he could do it. Didn't his wife come and pull him out of ceres? I peaked in there while it was going on. Bout 1/2 the floor was there. Good times.....................
Yeah, she showed up and wasn't too happy. We did our best to slow her down. I miss the fun on the floor.
Watched a guy lose his shit one day after taking a hit...was screaming with spit flying everywhere and hanging off his chin. He was beating his keyboard so hard he ended up falling out of his chair. He still had his keyboard in his hand so he started to smash it upwards against the bottom of the table....absolutely hilarious....keys flying everywhere.
Pretty funny, I've broken a few keyboards and mice in my days. Now I just swear internally a couple times.
