GE, GE Capital and EFS are three different organizations. I wouldn't be surprised if you end up being right on this one, but a non-investment or comment in that way from EFS does not negate the possibility that GE Capital is investing.
Oh, no, not in the picture.... and not Wil Wheaton.... just little ole me.
Is it a new Valleywag policy not to give a photo credits and link back when they use someone's photo? The last two posts here using my photos have taken them without any attribution. Original photo: [www.flickr.com]
Occasionally in life, you're privileged to witness a combination of words that are so deliciously perfect and absolutely right together it's as if watching the re-union of the twin halves of the Amulet of Life, separated from the days of the Pharaohs.
'Inaugural Balling' is just such a combination. Kudos Mr. Jurvetson.
Hmmmm. Why were there so many D.C. cops at the party? Do you really need eight of them to publically shame two copulators? What Victorians they all are!
@i'm_a_bottle: A possible explanation is that Inauguration Day went off with so few incidents that cops were basically starved for action. Or maybe these particular cops were just all secret voyeurs looking for action.
I don't know why Ryan didn't make a direct link to Jurvetson's photo (or did I miss it?), but in any case, this is it: [flickr.com]
Cops are sometimes just doing their job. Other times, they are just bullying pigs gorging greedily from the trough of prurient interest.
In fairness, it's possible that the A-list fornicators taunted the first four officers to arrive on the scene with snarky Ivy League quips and wounding comparisons of relative net worth. The initial officers may have judiciously called for backup. Four officers each to cuff the miscreants seems just about right. Afterall, no reason to assume the the elegantly attired woman wasn't a mixed martial artist, expert in the rough and tumble. And she may have had much more than a vagina hidden beneath her ball gown.
Perhaps. But I'll gleefully assume eight jack-booted thugs hoping to gawk at a half-dressed tart, or get in some homerun swing baton wetwork on the lone 'pistolero'. Until a reasonably certain otherwise presents itself.
@Dagrolord: I'm sure that if there were any sort of taunting it was the taunting that the cops imagined. I don't know why I'm complaining, though, because for once at least they cops aren't trying to bust kids for marijuana possession or such trifles. People intercoursing in public bathrooms can afford to pay for the legal/court costs or getting out of such offenses. Furthermore, isn't that a great story to have for the kids? "Oh, yeah, remember honey when they caught us knocking Zegnas in the bathroom at the inaugural ball."
Hey, this is totally unrelated to this thread, but it's really annoying me. For some reason, in my comment history, there is a comment that is showing up that I didn't write. What the hell is going on here? This is totally unacceptable.
@i'm_a_bottle: So, no history of 'blackout'/drunk commenting? I do know that it's possible to sleepcook ham & eggs and even sleepdrive to the store while taking Ambien.
If not that, then someone is all up in your shit my friend.
@phlox✔: No, no. The comment mentioned "Shaun of the Dead" and zombie movies. I don't watch such things. I would have never written about them no matter how far gone I was.
I don't think someone hacked my account. What I think happened was that a comment was deleted or something was shifted around because the comment number on my profile page points to the correct comment but the comment that shows up on my profile page doesn't match that. The wires have gotten crossed somehow. I just don't like how the person used a lazy and un-classy abbreviation of "Japanese" that I find offensive and tasteless. It sounds like my Uncle Dave wrote it, for chris'sakes. Someone get rid of that comment!

So, you know, buy my car so I don't go bankrupt.

Plus, I have an email from a certain Nigerian prince who shall not be named.
Can I use that to put down 50K on one of his nonexistent cars?

Also, "Shaun of the Dead" is pretty funny.
