Rank the top WSO members in order of...
Who you would most like to have a round of beers with?
Me:
1. Edmundo
1a. TNA - obviously
2. DickFuld the fake one not the real one
3. BlackHat - sharpest tool in the hf shed + good stories
4. rufiolove - you read his post about visiting eddie in Paris?!
5. CompBanker - sharpest tool in the ib/pe/mba shed
6. Simple As... - on par with blackhat but his stories aren't as cool
7. Bondarb - WSO's OG
8. Dingdong08 - he'd treat on all the beers
9. NorthSider - i'd like to try to win an argument against him
10. SirTradesaLot - dude knows his shit
11. Flake - idk why, but i hear he can drink
12. brady4mvp - the man, the myth, the legend, i bet he only drinks smirnoff ice though
13. Marcus_Halberstram - he'd probably want to fight after a few beers, fight club style
Honorable mentions: theking, aaron burr, bankerella, in the flesh, acctnerd, thebrofessor, ssits, blastoise, and shorttheworld
Edit: if you post, don't @mention them every time so they don't get their inbox blown up
Trust me, drinking with me is something to be avoided at all costs.
Oh, I can second that one. Seen it first hand!
You do get very handsy.
Agreed
I've heard....
I joined this website after seeing posts by GenghisKhan.
I'd add @ssit. I'm sure he'd start pontificating about things and claim to have invented the question mark, or accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that the genius possess and the insane lament.
Solid Austin Powers reference
Yo look what I copped:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0033SC2SE/?tag=vrzo04-20
I'm gonna set up late night movie showings in this grassy field. It's gonna be siiiick. Space Jam has a contender for initiation
No IlliniProgrammer? He'd be near the top of mine -- seems cool enough
Id move up acctnerd and put Mr. Manager into honorable mention.
2, 12
I'd love to get a beer with some of the self professed WSO pick up artists and watch them fail miserably at talking to girls in real life.
This.
Some other good choices:
@"going concern" @"TheKing" @"duffmt6" @"louboutins and leverage" @"Bankerella" @"missmoneypenny" @"chicandtoughness" @"rufiolove"
But, my number one pick would have to be @"Beny23". That would be an incredible evening of social awkwardness.
We can't forget our recently departed @"VikrumBandit"!!!
.
Great list IMO. I would add @"UFOinsider" and @"EURCHF parity" for their political knowledge.
And yeah, @TheKing should be on the list.
Give a little shout out to Mr. WSO himself @"WallStreetOasis.com" and who wouldn't want to hear about all of @"AndyLouis"'s travels?
@"bankerella" was fantastic, and so was the guy in Guy Fawkes mask who did the videos with @"Edmundo Braverman"
And I'd love to hear war stories from some our OEF/OIF veteran monkeys as well. @"cphbravo96" @"FormerHornetDriver" @"cinnamontoastcrunch" @"happypantsmcgee"
Shout out to @"Aaron Burr" and @"Prestigious Pete"
I also remember the days when I was reading this site while I was in HS. Dan Bush, Miss Ind etc. Been lurking on this site for a long time - just registered though.
wow, quite the list...you've definitely been a strong lurker for a while. how can we ever forget Dan Bush or @"Mis Ind" :-)
Maybe Mis Ind will make a comeback one day...
Haha, Mis Ind was so ridiculous. I remember reading her post during the iBanking Oasis days.
Another cool guy who I haven't seen posting in awhile is Monty09.
Yup... I remember them. Dan Bush was definitely a troll of a bygone era really. I remember Mis Ind too. Jeez, there are some old people who I remember that I'd love to wonder what happened to them. Man... I feel old...
Midas Mulligan Magoo (or something like that?)
Shaddup, do not speak his name in vain.
The person you are thinking of is Midas..
Why is someone pretending to be a disgraced former CEO getting so much attention @"DickFuld"
I'd have a beer with you Nouveau. But you're buying.
I'll join that but I agree with DM
OP, a better question is who on WSO would you like to be your wingman. Got that @"Brady4MVP", @"happypantsmcgee", @"D M", and @"thebrofessor". @"DickFuld" you can tag along pretend to be my rich uncle; you're a very good faker.
What about GoldenCinderblock ?
You guys still don't realize I don't care whether you throw shit or bananas? I just want attention. The worst thing you can do is not throw anything.
Can we get a prestige ranking? Or maybe tiers? What about exit opps of reading a TNA thread vs. an Eddie thread?
Thanks op, I'll take it. I'd have a beer with all of you. I should be in NYC twice later this year, I'll PM some of you.
i'll throw up a quick list, but don't want to forget anyone
lucky enough to have shared beers with several of these folk already
in no order: rufio, king, frieds, sirtrades, bondarb, commuter, guerrilagrl, tna, eddie, itf, mikesswimn, comp, chicandtoughness, blackhat, flake, simple as, ufo, IP, acctnerd, thebrofressor, apae, going concern, zeroblued, asatar, happypants, monty, aaron burr, bankerella, mr manager, D M, bfin, tony perkis, Duff, northsider, ssits, dingdong, list goes on and on
...
A few people off the top of my head, some of whom I've already drank with but wouldn't mind doing it again:
Frieds, ITF, Brady, Andy, Patrick, Eddie, CompBanker, UFO, Going Concern, Torchic, Angus Mc, Duffmt, SSit, SFbanker, TNA, cpk, HFFBall, DickFuld, Short, CaR
Bondarb Gray Fox DontMakeMeShortYou KennyPowersCFA --- has nobody mentioned him? wow Simple As
And that weird asian guy Human or whatever his name was, who did the bankerella hate post / dating advice
nominating myself...due to hustle
Definitely blackhat.
Swagon, definitely would want to see what that guy is like
I'm still pouring some out for the homie RIP
i met him at a happy hour, we talked for 15min before he lead on to who he was. normal guy in person, you'd never know
@"Flake" @"Mortimer Duke" @"Randolph Duke"
LOL
GoldenCinderBlock and TonySnark - I need to see them in the same place so I stop suspecting it's the same guy posting under two accounts.
Bankerella, SirTradesaLot, Edmundo, and BlackHat all the way.
I'd meet up with the CU chat gang, although cka would probably end up wearing my skin..
@"captainkoolaid" @"CaR" @"ucmaroon47" @"HFFBALLfan123" @"jbone24" (i still hate you)
rip to that drinking team
rip
RIP
ty.
Go kings go
Opsdude to talk about how he tried to kill himself after not getting IB.
Blumieeeeee
Brady, and I want to be so drunk that we role play his Harvard MBA experience (and what could have been).
I think we can agree I'm the easiest person to have a beer with here...
You? In what world are you the easiest to have a beer with?
The world of WSO Happy Hours, what else?
It would be a privilege and an honor to get a drink with bankerella and have her completely emasculate me and call me a peasant. A close second would be buying a couple fake HBS fleeces, getting drunk off mike's hard lemonades, and then walking around cambridge with brady.
Don't follow many people, but these are my top picks - learned a lot from those dudes:
@Bondarb - the typical baller; @Ravenous - smart dude, I actually put something he wrote in my diary; @"International Pymp" - lol hope can meet him in real life; @"brandon st randy" - if he can stop that hocker talk!
Last not not least, the one and the only @"Edmundo Braverman"! Really enjoyed his posts.
I loled at the diary comment
You have a fucking diary?
LOL! I never cease to be amazed by the posters on here.
6/20/2014
Dear diary,
Ravenous just posted the funniest thing on the investment banking forum today....
@BlackHat has a diary....and I'll bet you're in it!
I have many diaries. Sometimes when I make a really good entry that's very emotional and lets me have a good cry I'll draw in a little box on the bottom right corner of the page and fill it in with a high single digit number using blue pen.
@TNA : Problem is, it's never just one beer...
surprise there has been mention of Mr. Pink Money so far?
Glad to see I've met and drank with most of allyalllll
And honorable mention wtf I started the happy hours in NYc and I get honorable mention because I don't post nine million times a day ?!
Open your own pub. That'll bring you all the honorable mentions you want!
If we really want to go old school, I remember the first "Happy Hour" had you, me and @"LIBOR", doing dinner and drinks.
No need for alcohol then.
I'd like to see @"Flake" & @"D M" get drunk together.
I'd rather finish my night on the table than drunk under it haha. And @shorttheworld that's what happens when you stop posting every 5 minutes - people forget you exist. Let's be nonexistent together bronamath
What if you wake up ON the table?
Aside from the users mentioned, I found @"TheKing"'s posts on PE threads pretty insightful. Helped take away all the untrue glamour that people attach to PE at a junior level.
I'm feeling remarkably uncool now
bondarb blackhat dmmsy grayfox kp_cfa
there are some new younger guys that are pretty sharp too
manbearpig melvvvar relinquis
Whatever happened to @JimmyDormandy? He was cool and really knew his shit.
Ya wake up one day and realize you aren't popular with people in real life or online. FML.
I'll let you buy me a drink as long as you don't talk about religion or politics...
bondarb blackhat EURCHFparity skins1 Mis_Ind Bankerella brotherbear
Well, a lot of you will have your chance this coming Friday and Saturday for conference...
I'd really like to drink with blastoise if someone could track him down.
My favorite posters are Flake and peinvestor.
Seriously, the way I imagine Flake is exactly like his avatar with his hands folded. Makes me laugh so hard just looking at his picture. And I remember that one post where we wanted to save someone's post by quoting it, so someone else quoted Flake saying he give handjobs behind Denny's. Not sure why I find that so funny, but cracked me up so bad.
And peinvestor, people ask for meaningful advice and he just craps on them instead. He reminds me of this:
And I definitely miss Beny23.
I would definitely get slammed with theaccountingmajor
Goldencinderblock and Isaiah with the numbers and underscores at the same time. Can’t imagine them lasting too long before going at it
Man, you necro an entire old thread from 6 years ago, and you post anonymously? It was a treat to read this thread and remember the days before anonymous posting.
Hey hey, ho ho, anonymous posting has got to go
Synergy_or_Syzygy because not many bankers in SoCal, and I've found a lot of insights from his posts. I go to an east coast placing school, and I'm trying to place in LA so I've just been interested in the advice he's given relating to top places in LA and what they look for in candidates (ex being able to sell why LA).
