Well This Is Just A Little Odd

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/06/2011 19:19 -0400

We always thought that sooner or later we'd make somebody's list...Just not this one.

It was only a matter of time!!!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:35 | 854324 FOC 1183

Problem is, ZH readers are mostly male. And I don't know about you, but as much as I like Tyler, NOOOO guy gets my vote in this category

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:51 | 854370 Racer

oh yeah, how do you know

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:08 | 854426 FOC 1183

I got no problem with guys that play for the other team (one of them is the executor of my estate and will look after my wife),... but I'm 50. Think i'd know by now. But, as TD points out, Pauson does have a bit of a rack.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:13 | 854462 Racer

ah but how do you know who not playing for the other team but are for the team that is the opposite?

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:24 | 854489 FOC 1183

After 20 years of marriage, don't really give a shit. the wife can play for whatever team she chooses. Could care less

The only thing you ever talk about on this website is your love of guys. The only thing you want is a new boyfriend each week in your comment history.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:40 | 854529 Orly

One would hope you have proof of such assumptions...

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:01 | 854577 hardmedicine

how do you know we are predominantly male.? You may be right though, the vestal virgins are a dying breed.....

Congratulations Tyler Durden. If I may quote.

http://www.wired.com/underwire/2011/01/sexy-geeks-2010/?pid=2378

Tyler Durden

An acidic economics and quantitative analysis geek, Tyler Durden is the mostly anonymous Zero Hedge blogger who both posts as Fight Club's sexualized anticapitalist — played by equal-opportunity attractor Brad Pitt — and almost single-handedly shames on a daily basis what passes for the mainstream financial press.

Whether he's spitting game theory on Goldman Sachs, foreclosure robosigners, high-frequency trading scams or May's tragically hilarious Flash Crash, when algorithms gone wild wiped out about $1 trillion from the stock market in three overheated minutes, Durden has clowned analysts and experts worldwide with econopocalyptic abandon. The probability that both male and female stats geeks might visualize making love to Pitt while reading Durden's sourced screeds has got to be a sex coup of some kind. —Scott Thill

What the actual fuck? I thought they were writing about me. Now I'll have to post a retraction on my Facebook and Twitter. Christ this is embarrassing.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 22:18 | 854816 Cursive

@cougar_w

Lulz and congratulations to TD. Well deserved, if a little bit ghey on Scott Thill's part.

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 03:32 | 855316 spdrdr

My, I felt this Thill going up my leg.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:29 | 854299 Rainman

I was all set to vote for TD, but then settled on the one with the biggest tits.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:29 | 854304 Tyler Durden

Robert Paulson made the list?

Sorry Tyler but the early voting results do not bode well for you. Considering the geeks casting their choice are essentially 14 year old basement shut-ins desperate for some type of attention for their deficit, your mug poster doesn't cut it.

If only you could strike a more sexy pose and show a little cleavage or even a center part for your hair, you might have a chance. Consider a new wardrobe as well. :>)

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:26 | 854493 DocLogo

that chick, Julian Assange, is pretty hot.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:37 | 854527 Cognitive Dissonance

Now that's some funny shit. :>)

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 05:29 | 855392 ColonelCooper

After being somewhat late to the party, I have observed this about the voting:

The website full of people who tend to consider themselves WAAAaaay smarter than average have managed to nominate TD no less than five times. If you totaled the votes for all of the Tylers, he's less than two hundred back.

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 00:52 | 855090 illyia

While I might have your attention, TD.

Would you or Marla consider a "rec'd" button as well as a junked one?

It would be helpful... as sometimes you just want to vote for your fav without getting all about it.

You know what I mean, I'm sure...

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 03:53 | 855339 Cistercian

Hey Tyler, I am surprised you made this list too.

Should we put a few hundred pounds of nitroglycerin in their server farm so they show proper respect or what?

I think I will shave my head tonight......

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:35 | 854323 bigdumbnugly

we can relate, rainman.

and that writer can speak for himself concerning that last line... "The probability that both male and female stats geeks might visualize making love to Pitt while reading Durden's sourced screeds has got to be a sex coup of some kind."

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:07 | 854443 Logans_Run

Yeah but TD is the one with the biggest balls!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 23:17 | 854946 merehuman

And all of us come here

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 00:46 | 855074 illyia

HA!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:32 | 854309 russki standart

Wow, sounds like someone at Wired has a man crush on Tyler. Personally, I wish Marla would have my abortion.

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 08:54 | 855544 jus_lite_reading

My favorite highlights:

"...and almost single-handedly shames on a daily basis what passes for the mainstream financial press" and "...Durden has clowned analysts and experts worldwide with econopocalyptic abandon."

Well fuck yeah! I don't give a shit if Tyler's of the XY or XX chromosome- too me, anyone brave enough to do what he is doing, is just plain sexy. Period.

I really have nothing else to say. Carry on TD!

Geek? WTF. You're definately a dork.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:24 | 854287 cougar_w

But their picture of you makes you look like a terrorist.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:28 | 854301 gbresnahan

And what exactly do terrorists look like?

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:41 | 854328 bob_dabolina

Tim Geithner, Ben Bernanke and such.

Basically if it has a powerful position in government and i. looks like a gay 5th grader, or ii. has a sinister beard, it probably is a terrorist.

I read for the first time today a term "prolapsed anus" on ZH and I was kinda wondering what one of those looks like.

edit: nevermind...I never want to see that again.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 23:17 | 854951 merehuman

you dont want to be behind it.

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 00:26 | 855055 Things that go bump

1.I didn't know George Stephanopoulos was a terrorist.

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the econopocalypse.

Shoot and I thought it was the orgasmopocalypse. That is when I off myself.

I am so proud of you all...

Sorry Tyler, I just fell in love with the glasses on Marina Orlova.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:37 | 854337 bigdumbnugly

yeah, i'd like to be orlova marina.

Good one.

I just wanna hit you in the head and neck until you tap out or go limp (or I do). Is that so wrong?

Simple choice Red head Kari Byron caught my vote and heart. Wheres my little blue pill Edith?

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:05 | 854361 Logans_Run

Even the name Mila Kunis gets me hot. There is just something dirty about it. And she just looks like the kind of girl that would show you her hoohaa!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:56 | 854393 Vagabond

Shelly Roche should win no question.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:58 | 854401 bigkahuna

LOL!! YEAH!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 19:58 | 854405 Dr. Porkchop

So has there been no cease and desist from FOX2000 or whoever owns the rights to fight club for using Tyler Durden or the Brad Pitt as Durden image? If not, I'm surprised.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:12 | 854457 Bastiat

I for one watched that movie for the first time because of this site--they should pay zh.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:03 | 854418 tickhound

Trolls were pleasant today and now this? Seems suspect. We'll have to monitor this closely...

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:08 | 854440 Bastiat

They say Marina Orlova lives in Beverly Hills but something about the pic says: silicon valley.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:16 | 854472 nmewn

Heh...silicon valley.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:11 | 854452 SloSquez

That's pretty cool. Math dorks unite!!!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:21 | 854469 SloSquez

Well except when you are applying Brownian Motion to economics...that's just stupid.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:11 | 854454 Irwin Fletcher

That's econopocalyptic news! Congrats Tyler!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:12 | 854456 MsCreant

Tyler(s) hot, geek or not.

But I breed for brains, strength, and integrity, so I'm just built like that.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:16 | 854478 Logans_Run

Wow! Now I am feeling really, really rejected!

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:13 | 854468 Trimmed Hedge

Tyler for the win, please.

Mmmm, honey... come to momma!

Fri, 01/07/2011 - 07:29 | 855473 saulysw

Considering your avatar name, "Hedge" just took on a whole new meaning for me.

So... "Zero Hedge" is what I get when I argue with the wife?

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:22 | 854485 israhole

This site kicks ass! Although Tyler was 2 notches below the zionist tool Julian Assange, he came in two notches above the thief Mark Zuckerberg.

There is still hope for humanity.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:42 | 854537 CrockettAlmanac.com

zionist tool Julian Assange

"Truthers" will fall for anything.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 20:40 | 854524 andybev01

Here's to Tyler & ZH, with fervent hope that Banzai is furiously hard at work cooking up a suitable commemoration.

As for other lists, you probably need to file a FIA request to find out which ones.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:19 | 854651 Cognitive Dissonance

Banzai is sleeping with the fishes on Hong Kong time. I'm sure when he rubs the sleepers out of his eyes around 10 or 11 EST he will see the glorious news and come up with something suitable.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:03 | 854581 Alex Kintner

Ok TD. I voted for you but...

I also voted for some of those Sexy Bitchez. Being Geek suddenly looks kool.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:07 | 854604 putbuyer

You are the best. We all know that. Now is the time to become a ratings company. You have the credibility. Get it done. This is your calling. Kill Moody, S&P et. al.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:16 | 854610 DisparityFlux

Well, I must say I never once imagined TD's shirtless avatar in a scene from Thelma & Louise while reading one of his "sourced screeds." ...

Nothing. Hypothalamus not stimulated, but cerebral cortex still processing one of TD's definitive works -- Bang Dae-Ho.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:16 | 854635 grunk

Ron Paul didn't make the list?

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:35 | 854705 MsCreant

He is a smart and sweet geek, not a sexy geek, sorry.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 21:46 | 854742 willlaughforfood

Yep the current issue of Wired mag has some essay written by Patton Oswalt, sexy geek candidate #1 on Tyler's link, but of much greater interest to ZH'ers will be the story starting page 90, titled "Bull vs. Bear vs. Bot". Great read on how Wall St came to be ruled by algorithms. Look for it next time you're at Borders. For you quants/techies out there, Wired is where it's at. Last year they did a COVER story on P= Phi(A,B,y). Another great read, even for the uninitiated.

I didn't see where to vote, but honestly I couldn't vote for TD if Mila Kunis is on the list. I don't know if her voice would drive me crazy though.

Thu, 01/06/2011 - 22:34 | 854859 bunkermeatheadp...

Sorry to give you an inconvenient truth, but Al Gore is the hottest geek. You just have a popular website (in the Anthony Michael Hall Sixteen Candles king-of-the-geeks sort of way).

While Al on the other hand, invented the internet and discovered global warming!!!

I didn't spend hours of my youth drinking Jolt cola and yelling at my sister for picking up the other line which interrupted my C64's connection to the local BBS for such an injustice to occur!!

I'm sorry, I just haven't been this upset since Prince Poppycock lost America's Got Talent.

Congratulations, you're officially a rock star! Well done.

A friend of mine won a Webbie Award once and took the stage right after Al Gore. It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world...except for Marla...er Tyler...congrats...now work up a version of the site for kids and you'll rule the world....

Too bad Tyler has to share the stage with that insufferable pole-smoker Mark Zuckerberg. I'm always in a dilemma as to which guy's ugly mug I want to see less: that fucker or goddamn Steve Jobs. If I never see either one of them again, it will be too soon.
