Wood chipper snow globe, but of course.

How do I win one? That sounds too cool.

I'll trade you a giant fist-shaped dildo for one of those.

Glad to see there are still some types of interactions for which this medium is superior to Facebook.

I'd like to explain to my wife and kids why I just choked on a glass of wine, but I really don't want to…..

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Better a glass of wine than a fist-shaped dildo.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Which, of course, is why I hesitate to accept the gracious trade offer. How do I explain the package to my 9 year old? :confused:

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Probably but not definitely. The dildo wouldn't have burned so much. I assume.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

You'd know better than I.













I have no idea what you were drinking.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

A mannequin arm? That's what it looks like. Only those with low scores on the Purity Test (speaking of misty-water colored memories) or FB readers would have any idea of what it is.

Do they still do deal toys? It seems like closing binders are much rarer than they used to be, so I kinda wonder.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Memorable deal toys I've received: case of bordeaux, bottle of scotch, some ancient Greek coins handed out at dinner in Greece, an historical document (w/ an original presidential signature), a check (w/ an original client signature)

Deal toys I couldn't care less about: anything plastic or glass, even a mannequin arm

If you're doing deal memorabilia, skip the plastic

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

I always cared much more about the closing dinner. But then, maybe there's a lesson to be learned there.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

Yes, to both deal toys and closing binders.

And bourbon.

Re: It was the wrong thread
 

I guess the few deals I am aware of these days are too small. Or the bankers are too cheap.

Speaking of bourbon, I switched back to using Makers instead of Bulleit rye in my Manhattans. The rye is better for an old fashioned. Or maybe (if I ever get absinthe) a sazerac.

Also speaking of bourbon, a client introduced me to this when we were drinking Makers Manhattans one evening after a semi-successful mediation. (Her husband was drinking a vodka Martini, and she kept calling his drink a "Cosmo." He laughed. Most of my clients are not that much fun.)
