A Few Annoying Things

I’ll have you know, “The Fly” gets annoyed quickly. It doesn’t take much to set me off, even when sleeping. Sometimes, I get so mad by my egregious dreams/nightmares, I kill everyone in them (usually via Tommy Gun mow down)—then wake up happy. Analyze that.

Currently, here are some of the things that are irritating me:

– “Ag stocks” going higher, Ad nauseam.

– Natural Gas approaching $10, without a “hurricane of death.”

– Charlie Gasparino always looking tired and shit.

– Not knowing how many cups of coffee Dylan Ratigan drinks, per hour.

Wall Street Fighter picking [[ASIA]] in the Final Four Contest.

– Wall Street Fighter thinking he can beat “The Fly” via ASIA.

– Monoline bailouts.

– Busted time machines.

– Steel stocks going up, Ad nauseam.

– Former “bearish” fund mangers turn bullish.

– Third tier bloggers.

– Cold coffee.

– Cramer.

Developing…

UPDATE: This man annoys me too.

Greenspan says expect further write-downs, bankruptcies – DJ
  DJ reports there will be a burst of further write-downs and even bankruptcies among banks as they clear debris left by subprime, former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Monday. “It’s gonna be a while before prices of homes stabilize and we get significant clarity on the size of losses. Until then, we’ll see further write-offs and bankruptcies,” Greenspan told delegates in Abu Dhabi. “Stabilizing prices will stabilize the price of asset-backed securities. But that’s the point at which the system starts to recover,” he added.

    I am so hungry. I didn’t snack, just now. But I wanted to.

    I passed right by our office kitchen, where the Snickers live. I said to them “no Snickers, I won’t eat you, because I am on a hungry strike. And you would satisfy me too much. I must remain ‘hungry.'”

    Then I thought of something that would not satisfy me, Three Muskateers, for example. Blech! All that fluff and air. Certainly they would not satisfy me.

    Well, I am proud to report to my supporters that I am midway through my fifth Three Muskateers bar and I am still hungry.

    Take that, Fly!

    SWC to zero.

    Wouldn’t it be great if you lost to a third-tier blogger in the contest? I’ll be a little disappointed if you get knocked out by another first-tier blogger… but you probably set it up that way, to save face.

    True.

    However, 5th tier bloggers, like DT, are just plain ol’ vanilla gay.

    Fly – your post sounds like the “interview” from a Playboy centerfold.

    Likes: Romantic dinners and long walks on the beach.

    Dislikes: Bad breath and Charlie Gasparino

    Update: Market starting to suffer an attack of “the palsy”.

    I like that palsy line.

    However, it’s worth noting, any of that other stuff is worth a good punching off of the eyebrows.

    More annoying things…

    Work sucks, it interferes with my trading.

    Having a day off, I want to know who’s dick Dennis Kneel is sucking to be on EVERY fucking segment on CNBC.

    Hey, this is a response for the previous thread, but I’m out of the office on the Crack-B right now. Forgive any typos.

    Your last post about the bored guys from Brooklyn reminds me of this kid that works for me. He is whip smart and a Wharton grad, but he’s originally from “the wrong side of town”-the equivalent of growing up in Flatbush before this recent Brooklyn RE boom.

    Anyway, because of this dynamic he has two sets of friends, one group of smart Ivy League types that he knows through Wharton and Wall Street, and one group that is a complete group of “bored fucktards” in the worst sense of the term.

    The latter group is much more interesting as you might imagine. For one thing a large group of them will do anything–anything!– for $20. Short of murder, I mean– they want $100 for that. I’ve seen these guys in action, and the best is when my employee has “two worlds collide” and he invites his f-tards to an Ivy type event. The last time he did this they stole every bottle of top shelf liquor from the bar area after the group had moved to another room, and left the party clanking like a bunch of Jamaica Bay buoys. Where else can you get that kind of entertainment for $20?

    I was just wondering if your henchman were similar types, or if they are entirely fictional.

    You love my fifth-tier blog.

    The fact that certain PGers claim ignorance of the VO will mean they will face certain defeat at the polls this month.

    It also means you should laud it more often.

    What about the annoying popup I get in Firefox that says “This page requires AC_RunActiveContent.js” on every crappy iBankCoin.com page which is the entire site. It annoys me to the point of correcting the accuracy of every post.

    Fly, the high school hacks you hired to do your website are slacking. Next time, offshore to India. Having an American do IT programming is so 1999.

    Not annoying: Rogers saying how America has fucked up.

    Jake:

    When I was 25 or so, that was my life. However, as the money rolled in, I quickly removed my “poor friends” from the roladex and made believe I didn’t know who they were.

    PleaseKillMe:

    Your identity has been revealed, with your last comment.

    Please go fuck yourself, and India.

    My firefox never displays pop up notices. You’re an asshole and your words will die in infamy, shortly.

    Alan (what me worry?) Greenspan helped cause the ’87 crash by raising rates too quickly, caused 2000 crash by too much Y2K liquidity, caused this current mess by keeping rates too low for too long. Fire Uncle Ben, bring back Paul Volcker, and take away Alan’s pension for incompetence.

    Hey Fly, are you doubling up your shorts on DECK since they will be announcing earnings this Thursday?

    Undoubtedly they look to beat the quarter, but as retailer, they must be mentality retarded to raise guidance. Hoping to play out kind of like the CROX play.

    Fly,

    The kid is twenty five right now, so it will be interesting to see if he outgrows this “phase.”

    In the very least he needs to start thinking about “umbrella coverage. “

    Jake, I had a friend like that who I met when working on Wall St & Broad.

    The guy was from the hood. A good kid with friends on both sides of the law. A cousin cop & friend drug runners.

    He worked both sides of the law. Got shot in an elevator for a bag of 1/2 mill cash. Recovered from that.

    Haven’t heard from him in year. Hoping hes still alive, but I have my doubts. He didn’t sound good last time I heard from him.

    Brucie — sounds like Mafiosi.

    I thought that was Fly’s part of Brooklyn?
