Pretty damn funny video promoting the book Damn, it Feels Good to Be a Banker: And Other Baller Things You Only Get to Say If You Work On Wall Street (Click Here to Buy). Made famous from the blog http://www.leveragedsellout.com (Which I am sure it felt better to be a banker a few years ago).

Some of the best lyrics by the banker:
“I got a house in the Hamptons and a penthouse loft
But you’ve got intangibles, is that why your skills are so soft?
Over at 1OAK the bouncer looks at you sideways
Get back to your roots, there’s no line at TGI Friday’s
Hypothetical scenario: you get into the joint
You still can’t buy bottles with Starwood Points!”
“Might work 100-hour weeks, barely sleep
Do some blow off my desk when I’m eight red bulls deep
Compared to what you do, my job’s a challenge
I like my bankroll, bro
KEEP YOUR F#$*ING WORK-LIFE BALANCE!”
But I think the best line is by the consultant:
“And I know something about you…
You went to Walt Whitman – that’s a PUBLIC SCHOOL!”
Either way, its better to be a hedge fund guy or a PE guy any day. And its better than any of them to be a G any day or night.
The Rest is Up to You…..

This is by far the best post yet. Little surprised you would want this on the G manifesto though- I’m afraid you might lose all your street cred. These guys look a little too geeky for your tastes. I have a feeling you picked this one after me. If so, pretty funny.
Keep em coming G Man!

I just saw Miami was voted #1 in America’s most beautiful people. You can link to it here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080911/lf_nm_life/miami_dc_1
If you post on this mention I told you about it.

Just finished reading the entire (actually only up 2007) leveragedsellout.com website posts, hilarious! Why don’t we get these kinds of retarded comments here I wonder? I mean, we do after-all: rock custom Italian suits, have a fantastic lifestyle of leisure, models and a Rolodex of high society girls.
…Maybe it’s the Desert Eag strapped and ready to bark under my Armani? …Or the international network of underworld friends with lethal reach? …Or maybe its the dangerous friends who owe me some favors? That makes sense then.
I always knew I’d be a bad banker anyway — I prefer the 90 second in-and-out ‘bank job’ to the 90 hour banker work week anyway …and similar returns (tax free)!

Did that guy who posted first just say “I have a feeling you picked this one after me” and use the term “G Man” …all in the same post?
wtf!?

I’m convinced this Tafari guy is the biggest tool on your blog. If he’s going to B.S. about being having “the life”, at least be consistent.
When he replied to my Monet post, he said, “I thought the Ivy’s & high-end country clubs would have taught you some tact? It did for me. Maybe its because I still use my education to better the world and get the most out of life, while you whine away yours”. I’m assuming he said this to make him sound more sophisticated and less parvenu in my eyes.
Now he says, “I always knew I’d be a bad banker anyway — I prefer the 90 second in-and-out ‘bank job’ to the 90 hour banker work week anyway …and similar returns (tax free)!”. So what your saying, Tafari, is that you graduated from an Ivy League and now you’re holding up bank tellers for $3k a pop? Please explain… I always overhear my Haitian caddies attempting to sound like this.
When I don’t hear a response from you, I’ll assume you’re sitting at your baby momma’s crying into your “throw-back Jersey”, douchebag. By the way, do you wear those baseball hats with the poker straight brims? I really love those.
Lastly, I-Banker analysts/associates (like the writer’s on leveragedsellout) do pay quite a bit in taxes. Their income is not long-term capital gain and is subject to 39% tax rates. I guess you wanted to sound more aristocratic and seem like you know all the tax shelters? You must mingle with the ruling class AND the underworld while wearing your sartorial splendor, huh Tafari? Impressive! We have a regular Tony Soprano on our hands (golf clap, golf clap).
