Accounting For Discontinued Operations - what's your interpretation of FAS #144?

No, and I was hoping EddyTeddyFreddy could answer it though.

I work in accounting and thought this thread was about an american accounting policy, apparently not.

But let me pick a name

**imthjckaz ** just because he is awesome

(comes running)

Heh, I finally made it, one month and three days late. Thanks, Orange Skinner. I feel loved!

Oh, how did I get here? Well, I suppose it was a vanity search. I wanted to see if anyone had guessed me in the “Predict the Next Poster” game. No one had. So, yes, a vanity search.

Oh, and I forgot to add:

I’m on the first page!

Accounting[sup]1[/sup] For Discontinued Operations[sup]2[/sup] - what’s your interpretation of FAS[sup]3[/sup] #144?

1 - Finding a reason for something
2 - Military style missions
3 - First Action Shooter

Hey twicks, thanks for the mention but I don’t do vanity searches. Except in those rare circumstances where I can’t think of anything else to help find a thread I posted too.
Since there are so many dopers put forth so far I’ll have to get creative. I’ll say Asia Carrera is a secret member and does the occaisional vanity search.

Sure, although it may not be a good idea.

Here you go… don’t say you weren’t warned!

Hmm… who else to call out? I have no idea.

How about Ms. Macphisto?

F_X

Heh. So I decide to check out this thread, and what do I find but my own name staring back at me.

Now let me think. Sorry if any of these people have already been mentioned, but I don’t really feel like going back over 4 pages with a fine-tooth comb. How about matt_mcl, xash and jjimm?

Heh. It took me me more than a month to get around to opening this thread but I just kept wondering how some obscure accounting question could be so popular. I actually decided that there must be a lot of accountants here and that the topic must be quite a buzz within the accounting community.

Well, curiosity finally got the best of me…

I really don’t know many posters well enough to speculate who would find this thread through a vanity search so I will have to nominate myself, as I do a vanity search from time to time.

It’s usually quite depressing, as far as vanity goes.

There’s TONS of accountants here, SkyBum - in fact, the SDMB has SO many beancounters…

Eh, maybe 3 or so. I’d have to whip out my calculator to be sure. :smiley:

I find it curious that this thread has only 160+ posts at this time. Yet there have been like 3000 views.

I know some of those are reviews from WE dupes. But I get the feeling many are from folks who slink in and out afraid to admit they were here.

So what name as bait for this trap? How 'bout chickenshit or Ol’ Yeller Where y’all at?

I work for an accounting firm. Does that count?

[sub]Does that count. Get it? I slay me.[/sub]

Yeep! I came to this thread because I couldn’t understand how the topic could have so many views. I never vanity search, because I’m still an obscure noob. But my name was on the first page!

wave to my Song Title pal, Orange Skinner

I’ll throw out a name no one’s said so far…

Hey Iteki! How do you say “vanity search” in Swedish?

I was looking for Blonde; she always finds the fun posts.

Was I suckered.

Well, at least you don’t have to own up to writing this thread’s title…

Where ARE all the fun posts tonight??

I love it when accountants talk dirty.

Well, my dad’s an accountant… I could never imagine him talking dirty, though.

I actually DID open this thread back on page 1 and was thinking “WTF?” when I opened it, I was gonna pick one of my editors brains so I could sound all witty and smart when you guys were talking about FAS #144, but yes you got me on a vanity search too. Oops.

Yes, yes, I am.

But still, I rarely do vanity searches, but being bored on a Saturday night will make one do rare things.

Now that I am here, do I win anything?

“It’s okay - I’m with Gyrate…” :smiley:

Did Lissa or gobear make it?

Take a seat, and have a beer. We started without you; I hope you don’t mind.
