Weekend Update

The boat party sucked, until I started drinking aggressively. I will have you know, NO ONE can out-drink “The Fly.”

UPDATE:

In website related news, my favorite confederate, WOODSHEDDER aka “HOLLYWOOD,” is (finally) launching his premium service. If program trading is your thing or if you are interested in learning more about it, Wood has put in countless hours perfecting his system. I strongly suggest giving it a whirl (fuck you, I can get away with saying words like “whirl” because I am so God-damned cool).

    No better way to fix a boring party than drinking heavily.

    Often its better to get at least buzzed before showing up which completely bypasses the boring part all together.

    Glad you enjoyed the party. I couldn’t tell you were all that buzzed.
    You are amazing, and I enjoyed your company.

    Mr Fly,

    If you woke up tomorrow and were told you could never go back to trading and that ibank was no more, what would you spend the rest of your life doing if you had enough to live comfortably?

    What would you do if you still had to earn a living?

    Just curious what other skill sets or interests or passions you have…cheers!

      4th bottle. You are a certified alcoholic. I am sure you are a blast, in between induced vomits.

        dude

        4th bottle of vodka??? And you’re freaking proud of it, boasting in fact? Dude, get down to the local AA and start confessing:

        ” Hi all, I’m Po Pimp and I’m an alcoholic”.

          It’s not an everyday occurrence by any means. However when people boast about their drinking abilities they need to understand some of us are in another league. Working a 28 days on / 28 days off rotation schedule for 10 years while based in Southeast Asia provides ample training opportunities.

          j,

          I believe AA eschews last names, so he would walk in and say,
          “Hi, I’m Po and I’m an alcoholic.”

          And if he’s having vodka for breakfast, he is almost certainly more Po
          than Pimp.

    Found this post particularly funny, good luck HOLLYWOOD.

    On the topic of aggressive drinking it’s now 5:22 am and if I don’t pass out soon this could turn into a dreaded “wrap-around”.

    That is all.

    Anytime you think your local government is ineffective, incompetent or both, be thankful you are not a goat or a human in Cairo.

      And you can’t get a ham & cheese on rye anywhere.

      From the article: “It has exposed the failings of a government where the power is concentrated at the top, where
      decisions are often carried out with little consideration for their consequences and
      where follow-up is often nonexistent”

      I think our government is pretty good at that too.

    Hey Fly,
    With your foreign foray, will you hold anything in currencies other than U$D or hedge against the dollar somehow?

    5-Minute Management Course

    Lesson 1:

    A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings.

    The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs.

    When she opens the door, there stands Bob , the next-door neighbor..

    Before she says a word, Bob says, ‘I’ll give you $800 to drop that towel.’

    After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob , after a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves.

    The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.

    When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, ‘Who was that?’

    ‘It was Bob the next door neighbor,’ she replies.

    ‘Great,’ the husband says, ‘did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?’

    Moral of the story:

    If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

    Lesson 2:

    A priest offered a Nun a lift.

    She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.

    The priest nearly had an accident.

    After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

    The nun said, ‘Father, remember Psalm 129?’

    The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
    The nun once again said, ‘Father, remember Psalm 129?’

    The priest apologized ‘Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.’

    Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.

    On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, ‘Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.’

    Moral of the story:
    If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

    Lesson 3:

    A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

    They rub it and a Genie comes out.
    The Genie says, ‘I’ll give each of you just one wish.’
    ‘Me first! Me first!’ says the admin clerk ‘I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.’
    Puff! She’s gone.

    ‘Me next! Me next!’ says the sales rep. ‘I want to be in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.’
    Puff! He’s gone.

    ‘OK, you’re up,’ the Genie says to the manager.
    The manager says, ‘I want those two back in the office after lunch’

    Moral of the story:
    Always let your boss have the first say.

    Lesson 4

    An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

    A small rabbit saw the eagle an d asked him, ‘Can I also sit like you and do nothing?’
    The eagle answered: ‘Sure, why not.’

    So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on th e rabbit and ate it.

    Moral of the story:
    To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

    Lesson 5

    A turkey was chatting with a bull.

    ‘I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree’ sighed the turkey, ‘but I haven’t got the energy.’
    ‘Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?’ replied the bull. They’re packed with nutrients..’

    The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

    The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

    Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at t he top of the tree.

    He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

    Moral of the story:
    Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

    Lesson 6

    A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

    While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

    As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was.

    The dung was actually thawing him out!

    He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.
    A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.

    Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

    Morals of the story:
    (1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

    (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
    friend.

    (3 ) And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep
    your mouth shut!
