Wednesdays With Midas

I had an idea a while back about doing an interactive post, but didn't really know how to best pull it off. Comments are cool, but I really wanted to do something conversational.

Coincidentally, a few days later Patrick rolled out the new and improved WSO chat.

Eddie was the first to suggest it on a prior NSFW and ever since then I thought about "hanging out" with some of you guys that were willing and able to shoot the breeze for a few hours.

Therefore, I am inviting anyone who feels like it to swing by the chat room tomorrow morning between 9-11 am EST. Just go to "Recent" at the top of your screen and pull down to "WSO Chat Room" and set your turd blaster to full automatic.

If there's anything particular you want to ask me or are interested in discussing, feel free to post about it in the comments so I can get something coherent prepped for you.

Look forward to talking with you guys.

 

What do (did?) you do?

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

Too bad chat is cockblocked at work for me.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Everything is cockblocked for you Flake

Yeah it seems we know a ton about Eddie's life (trader, womanizer, multiple times married, drinker, from Louisiana, lives in France, has kids, currently works as part-time badass and full-time role model) but I can't tell you jack shit about Midas other than he is from NY given his accent on NSFW...

 
ANT:
Midas is legit. And do we really need to know background to give validity to what a person says.

I'm not saying he doesn't know what he is doing. Just curious to know what it is that he does.

Agreed.

You obviously haven't read most of MMM's posts. I couldn't even imagine what his background could be... and I'm not sure I'm ready to know.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
 

Some say that he lives in a tree, and that his sweat can be used to clean precious metals...all we know is, he's called the Midas.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

I feel like people are turning this into something it doesn't need to be. I just wanted to know how the guy makes a dollar.

Actually, I kind of like not knowing. Everyone here likes to think they know everything about everyone, and now they want to take the mask off of the Midas? I'm trying to fit the golden touch into the same train of thought as killing the goose that lays the golden egg, but really, it's not necessary at all.

In other news, I'd like to know what Midas thinks of Kimmy K being back on the market.

Get busy living

You know what, I kind of like this idea.

Maybe we can take it a step further and come up with a career for him anyway? Like lion tamer/day trader.

Great segue.

I am suspicious of her buttocks and have been for a long while. I do not put it past her to have had that doodoo box installed as an aftermarket part.

Note: fake tits suck, fake asses are atrocious.

The only fake thing on a woman should be her sense of self worth.

This whole affair clarifies her shortcomings as a prime time playette.

As a white girl with a big ass she should be gold digging on a higher pay scale of hood.

I think if she gets her game up, drops ten lbs and gets her dougie game right there may be a Plaxico Burress marriage or a Darius Miles sex tape in here future.

In other NBA related news Doc Rivers son is a beast and somewhat resembles Kris Humphries...

Could there be a love connection looming?
