The Market Raper Has Been Executed

In limited voted, it’s unanimous, The Market Raper must have his head separated from his shoulders. It’s rather odd that he was able to survive life for more than 100 years, as evidenced by his post, only to perish on day one on iBC.

    Death Comes Swiftly.

    I hear that once the head falls in the basket, the eyes are still looking around for a few seconds.

    The bleed-out from the guillotine was bloody.

    Late at night, the feral dogs would come around, and drink the blood from the execution, off the cobblestone streets.

    So long, Raper…we hardly new ye’

    Fly:

    ‘Unsharpen” the knife. Keep the knife nice and blunt as you don’t want it to be a painless death.

    The readership wants to hear screams of pain and the specter of an agonizing end.

    How easily our rulers distract us with spectacle and gore.

    –The iBC Final Four 2009 is in the Championship week
    –Unlike last year, The Fly is not in the Championship round
    –Unlike last year, The Fly has launched a distracting new competition right before the Championship round

    I can only conclude that The Fly needs a distraction, not a new tabbed blogger. I predict that the “winner” of this competiton will meet a bizarre demise* shortly before the first official blog. My informants indicate that The Fly’s blogger hit squad already conducted unsuccessful tests of potential approaches in the Berlin Zoo, off the coast of Somalia, and Musudan-ri, North Korea.

    *I sincerely hope and expect than none of the competitors will experience any actual demise or injury.

    Maybe I’m too softhearted but as much as I love the Election Game, I’m not sure I have the heart for the Survivor: Guillotine version of the game. I like learning from others here and the cameraderie with other fellow soldiers battling in a very negative economic environment. No disrespect intended to the Fly and his Election Game of course.

    I’m retreating to the Boca Raton Resort Hotel to rethink my strategy for the rest of the campaign, and soak up a little luxury at the new Beach Club. Hope Blackstone BX is keeping a close eye on their investment.

    Fly:

    I gotta tell you…. I’ve had a pretty hard coupla days, so I went out drinking and eating with my friends. (I’ve been dealing with my mom over the last few days as she broke her hip and she’s 84.)

    I came home and read the thread again…………
    This sort or shit makes me laugh my head off. Your matter of fact style of writing is very funny.

    More exectutions please.

    Boca:

    I love the beach club…. we used to have annual get always with the traders and sales people there.

  13. what’s to keep the competitors from having their friends log on (or using multiple computers) to vote their opposition off?

    Anon – nothing keeps them from doing so. In fact, wouldn’t that be the best case scenario? Increasing traffic on IBC by encouraging friends and family to log on and vote?

    Unfortunately, I’m afraid some of the candidates probably don’t have any friends outside the internets and this here blog.

    j that drinking will kill you.

    So do I have this right?
    The banks are bailed out with tax payer money. They take that money then lend it to tax payers and charge fees and interest there by making some sort of profit off of the very people who lent them the money. Oh and I almost forgot they also pay their “top talent” bonuses with the money that was given to them. Sounds like a go deal for Joe the taxpayer to me? NOT!

    The next time I hear someone spew this fallacy that the tax payers may even make money off these assets, I am going to scream. When on earth has anyone ever remember the tax payer being paid back?? Through what tax cuts? give me a break. If any money is made, which I highly doubt, the government will find some other bullshit program to spend it on, they will not pay down debt.

    kerry oki,

    Why wouldn’t GS want to create a $5B vulture fund? If it craps out they can always dump it on the fedres at face value.

    Beware,
    The Mark to Fantasy, that the fed has allowed the banks to re-mark their books to will cause every banks balance sheet to look GREAT, overnight. So what they are doing is letting the banks basically remark the books back to the original loan amount, which will give everyone a headfake. The only way this will fly, for the banks to do this, they will be having to “sit” on these empty houses until the value of the house returns back to the original amount.

    This may take a decade, otherwise the banks, in order to not have actual losses will not be selling these houses but just sitting on them as by sitting on them they will always be able to keep the books marked up to fantasy levels. If they auction these foreclosed homes/condos etc. they will actually have the loss and have to “book” it or “mark” it as a loss. So prepare for long term major fuckery here, and prepare for a decade of lies and an economy just like Japan has had.
    The government will always lie to you to get the vote to get going on some sort of stupid shit.
    President Bush said Iraq “will not be another Vietnam” …yeh, bullshit, it is just like Vietnam…a never ending, lengering police/military occupation, that is still ongoing, now in its 8th year (eight fucking years people, WWII only lasted 5).
    The Fed saying they will not allow us to fall into the same trap Japan fell into…..bullshit, they are heading us right down that same fucking road right now.

    pay attention people, this “Mark to Fantasy” or in my opinion, “Mark back to 100%” will never allow the market to find its real footing again and will forever be lingering on false numbers and cooked books….only this time the fereral government is “allowing legally” the book cooking……..

    It would only be fair for banks to pay us interest for a while as they are borrowing from us. Also it shuld be a high rate as they clearly need the flow and hence are a risky lend.

    I love that the Fly’s alter alias was the first to be cut. Still waiting for the other tab wannabes to make it interesting.

    This morning FAS and FEED have been good. Still waiting for TSL.
