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!
:)

Quote from jimmast:

On a very busy day in the old bond pit, before the new building was built every single person would be covered head to toe in sweat. There was a "slightly" out of shape arb clerk who often arrived hungover that would in the middle of all the chaos reach in his pants and load up his index finger with "fromunda" cheese. When a runner would arrive to pick up his firms paper fill, the arb clerk would teasingly pull back the paper as the runner was reaching for it and with his other hand wipe his index finger under the runners nose.

Imagine the initial confused look followed by confused disgust mixed with the hope that the smell wasn't what he feared it to be.

Not hard to believe the arb clerk's career never really seemed to take off.

This is one of a thousand old floor stories. If they weren't so distasteful you could probably write a book.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

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.....................
 
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.
