Oh come now, you honestly don't think someone like him would've eaten that crap do you? Foie Gras and truffles for the kings, ground pig rectum for the rest of us.

What do you expect?

The upper class died long ago with the aristocrats.

What is left is the vulgar bourgeois.

Was proud of "X Billion served" then found
out Ben and Timmay were talking Obama math
where quadrillions were being served.

Never would have happened if he had been COO of  In-N-Out.

True, he'd be dead in a private plane crash instead.

GM  CEO to resign too. Guess $1,200 gold is sending the smart money to the bunkers.

Great comment bro. I'm sure they are all watching the price of gold as they make career decisions.

Haven't two of their CEO's died on the job in the past several years?

MCD's had a SHITLOAD of front month puts bought the other day.

 

I made note of it... Hm... I'll have to track it down.  I'll post the info when I do.

Sorry, memory failure.  It was a real low p/c ratio that got my attention that day.

 

On 11-25, the P/C ratio was 0.029 and would have been even lower if not for 14k puts that got bought.

 

It was a very similar pattern of call buying that day as KO, so it's probably totally unrelated to this.

McDs is one of the largest holder of CRE... They own most of the buildings that contain a McDonalds. Is this further evidence of a CRE meltdown?

Unrelated.  They lease them to the franchisees, and they pay off in about 8 years.  It's a genius model.

Special orders do upset us. Hold the pickles. Hold the lettuce. Have it your way. Was that McDonalds or Burger King? Who cares. Same Frankenfood.

"Citing health"

In other words...

His doctors have become increasingly concerned about the constant suturing of his lateral abdominal walls and fear that any further laughing at suckers who eat at his reconstituted mush disposal units will cause a sudden rupture and mean he won't be able to avail himself of all the luxurious goodies from peddling fat in a handy size, that can be squeezed out from addicted fat junkies

The irony of the headline is pretty striking, but you guys should know that the COO retired because of his multiple knee replacement surgeries...

I think that by taking headlines completely out of context, this can be considered to be borderline irresponsible reporting. I guess ZH is slowly evolving to become the financial equivalent of The Daily Show, which is a little worrying to me.

No time to sign in so I'll be an Anon reply to your idiotic comment.

Marla did not take the headline "completely out of context". She merely showed the headline, obviously because she appreciated the humor intended by the author of the headline.

I think you really hit the nail on the head here.  WTF was Tyler thinking when he decided to display the headline EXACTLY as it appeared, without comment?  Very reckless and completely irresponsible (pfff, amateurs).  Forget The Daily Show, not even Jim Cramer would stoop THAT low.

Personally, I say why let the facts get in the way of a good story.

And by the way, does Tyler Durden still work for Marla?

U.S. Cycle of Foolishness: 1. Get large percentages of the population on welfare, food stamps, and fast food to ensure a horrendous, disease producing diet, 2. Pass a nation breaking nationalized healthcare bill so all the fast food eaters and smokers get their doctor bills paid for by other people who work, 3. Make sure the poor and disease ridden produce at a rate 3 times that of people with jobs and education, and let math drive the final nail in the country's coffin.

It's a good thing you posted this anonymously, otherwise Paul Krugman would be seeking retribution for your plagiarism of his manifesto.
