Does Anyone Remember the Website: Take A Report

Many many years ago the Greatest humor site ever created for all of Wall Street types existed under the name of www.TakeAreport.com (TAR). Named after the slang phrase signifying that an individual's trade order has been executed. "Take a report" is also trader slang for "get out of my face" or "you're done".

The "take a report" phrase became popular in 2007 when former Citibank executive Michael J. McCarthy penned an edgy blog by the same name, which he published under the pseudonym "Large".

If you never read it, I feel truly sorry for you. It was maybe the greatest site there was. It was barstool on steriods. The Ass was sexier and the stories were funnier and less douchey.

It now goes under a different name: www.TheDanzaTap.com which is still funny but no where near the levels of TAR. Large is no longer associated with the site but his legend lives on.

The link below explains why he got fired

I hope I am not the only one who remember this. If not you all should TAKE A F*ckin REPORT....You're done.
