Although I finished up my fifth year in the CFA program (awaiting the charter) I’m just now fully appreciating this forum.
I’ve come to the realization that some great stories must have been told here during its history- whether it be about studying, the exam day itself, CFA-related endeavors or just random greatness and shenanigans.
Can the old-timers enlighten me or point me in the right direction?
Nobody mention it. Just once.

the sink story
Hope. It is the quintessential human delusion, simultaneously the source of your greatest strength, and greatest weakness.
^ I remember that. Not sure if it was ever proven to be true. We need an AF auditor.

some of these stories don’t have links anymore such as QQQBee, but I have included the links from the stories I can remember.
1) Terminator Exam Preparation Ritual http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-iii-forum/9705182
2) NYC Sink Shitter http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-i-forum/91312335
3) Calculator Story (can’t find link) does anyone else remember a crazy story about the BA II plus… i think the poster was from india. here’s a reference to a thread talking about this http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-general-discussion/91246398
4) daj224 post on people failing LII - survey on how they would feel http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-ii-forum/9810499
5) what about that IBM consultant who thought there was some kind of conspiracy….”I stand for Value” or something like that, that was pretty epic, phil.plat? http://www.analystforum.com/forums/back-office/back-office/91206016

Ha ha - The NYC Sink Shitter…
That’s impressive research.
You guys had to do it.
We need to add an FAQ: ”Yes, somebody shat in a sink.”
BTW, not sure about that pic Chad added

I love how the ripoff site even has users refering to the forum as AF. lol

Hmm. It appears that that is one of several ripoff AF websites. I guess you know you are successful when people start to steal your work? I am most amused by the fake usernames used by that website. Apparently, my evil twin is called “happyending”. I suppose that is not bad, although it would probably be more appropriate for ChickenTikka or IEV.
The other fake usernames, unfortunately, are quite uncreative:
donkey
robinson

Womp, womp. It appears that I can’t link to the mirror sites, but perhaps someone will put up some of QQQbee’s e-mails involving his retabulaction efforts. If I recall, at least a few people saved parts of the thread before it was nuked.
Good stuff, especially the sink story. I caught wind of the Javarama story somehow (also funny), which is what provoked my inquiry for others.

There was a post about a Chinese version of AF that had the same posts but mixed up the usernames.

Let’s not forget BostonKev vs. Numi, McDonalds, and the Jenna Jameson story.
Didn’t Bleron pass level 2 studying 1 week?

I was just reading Bleron’s posts because someone revived one. That guy was hillarious.
OK so what IS the javarama story?

I find he is the most underrated poster in AF history. He was entertaining. First ballot hall of famer in my book.

“The Terminator” ritual… great
Like in the movie: imagine the red scanners in the terminator’s eyes going through each question… what happens if the character of a question is named “John Connor”? Priceless
After reading through the old Javarama story, I also was reminded of the “I slept with my boss thread” that was pretty funny. Also, we had a freaking all star cast of characters back when I was taking the exam. So much fun. I miss those guys. Also, I do remember that Tibwa was a famous character for awhile for writing Daj type threads with QQQBEEE type english, but can’t remember much details.

javarama is epic. thanks for posting, I had missed it. this brings back memories of the budfox427/budfox428/budfox429 thread too. here’s all that’s left that i could find. http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-level-iii-forum/91049309
and the Chuck Norris thread http://www.analystforum.com/forums/cfa-forums/cfa-general-discussion/9845561
There was an AFJunkie, AFJunky, AFFunkie, AFJunkie99 thread as well if I remember correctly that was pretty funny.

I didn’t know about his followup effort on LII. Crazy. I couldn’t have done it. I imagine he must have had a very good grad or undergrad education to already be relatively familiar with the topics.
