MM et al. -- Thought you all would appreciate this absolute gem of a post from Tom Busillo over on the POS1 thread. We need to get him over here with material like that! AntMan, put those superhero powers to work! HA HA -- Robert Message 10285071 My favorite part: WEILL INITIATES STAGE-DIVING RITUAL TO FLOOR OF NYSE Announces New Mandatory Body-Piercing for All Citigroup Employees from Mosh Pit New York, Dec. 4 - Travellers Chairman Sandy Weill fulfilled a long-held dream of NYSE officials this morning after ringing the opening bell and diving off the dais into the crowd of traders below. The executive then body-surfed the hordes of cherring traders for several minutes before pronouncing a new mandatory body-piercing policy for all Citigroup employees in a mosh-pit by the CCI post. NYSE Chairman Richard Grasso said the new ritual brings to fruition long-held hopes that the trading session should start in this fashion. "We've made the suggestion to everyone who's rang that bell for the last 3 years," he said. "Sandy's the first to do it. What can you say, the guy's a mensch" "The Spice Girls suck!", shouted Weill, who said he's lately been listening to "a lot of old Mudhoney." Weill said his interest in grunge came by way of his close freindship with Foo Fighters front-man and ex-Nirvana drummar Dave Grohl. "He's practically a godson to me," he said. "I took the Cobain thing pretty hard myself. Wept for days. But the Foo Fighters are a terrific. That video spoofing the Mentos thing - I wet my pants everytime I see it. Honest to God." "We're really rockin' and rollin' down here," said CNBC doyenne Maria Bartiromo, adding "What a gas. Maybe they'll even play some Tiffany!" A NASDAQ official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, questioned the move. "While I applaud the spirit, you really have to question the judgement," he said. "Grunge, moshing - bah. It's over." By way of competititve response, the NASDAQ is reported to be working on a 24-hour global financial rave to be located in an empty warehouse in the meat-packing district.
