Bottombuckethardo Appreciation Thread

So in the spirit of pulling another monkey up that is having a bad day, I wanted to start this thread to show appreciation to someone who has been especially insightful on this forum, bottombuckethardo.

The dude provides insight on school rankings, sorority rankings, dating advice and PE fund rankings and genuinely enters each discussion with an intellectually superior approach. Not many people can say that they have been a stand out contributor and person, so I'll do it for him. 

Thanks man, we really appreciate you here. Even if we're all a bunch of finance fucks just trying to get ahead. We gotchu.

So monkeys, think for 10 seconds - who can you reach out to and make smile? Just a simple, random gesture really does make life awesome.
