High Finance

I don't know precisely how Marissa Mayer intends to deliver a return on the $1.1B Yahoo! is investing in Tumblr, but I think it's a pretty short path from monetizing puns to profit.

I was going to write a post but I can't beat this.

Oh man...we are now using my tumblr as a source for our filler posts? Worlds colliding, and such.

Radar - about to be jammed.

Danimal said...

1 hr delay out of miami now 3 hrs. = bar, right? Need prodding. Walking there now but will await confirmation.

Geoff said...

Yes, official rule states that any delay in excess of 1 hr entitles one to a bloody mary. If the delay exceeds three hours, additional beverages may be procured, not to exceed three in total, unless the delay will result in total cancellation of said trip, in which case no limit on drinks is in effect.

Danimal said...

Thought so. But ordered a beer which is near empty. I know what do do.

Danimal said...

Bad news: flight further delayed.."screws loose"
Good news: gate has been moved directly across from bar.
Other good news: i can't be expected to make it into office today.

Cyndi Lauper on radio. Think they'll put Cspan on the telly?

Danimal said...

Gotta get me some capri pants.

Danimal said...

Chicks always dug my cankles. That's a no-brainer.

zman said...

I'd like you better in Stocktons. Just sayin'.

Mark said...

Drink up, Dan. Geoff's knowledge of the traveler's handbook is spot on. It's a much better idea to listen to him on this matter than Greg.

rob said...

are there any matters on which it's a better idea to listen to greg than any other human?

Mark said...

Unprotected sex and random Simpsons quotes.

T.J. said...

I think that' on his business cards, actually: "America's foremost expert in unprotected sex and Simpsons quotes"

Geoff said...

Point of clarification: Greg's experience and depth of knowledge regarding unprotected sex is unarguably world class. However, his counsel in such matters contemplates only opportunities but never risks.

Mark said...

Makes sense to me. Those are undervalued skills.

zman said...

Three words: shimmy shimmy yaw.

Mark said...

Yeah. From the home of the Dodgers. Brooklyn squad.

Mark said...

Rooting for the Magic to not win the Draft Lottery tonight.

Clarence said...

I would not have predicted Mark to say that.

But my prediction skills are weak lately. Other than predicting Dave would bad-mouth "Barracuda," which was trite and uninteresting.

Mark said...

I don't even want the Magic to get the second pick. They can't drop lower than 4th. I'm okay with 3 or 4.

Mark said...

First reaction is I want the Magic to take one of the McLemore, Porter, Bennett trio.

T.J. said...

Otto Porter, never leaving the Verizon Center as a home court

Shlara said...

#3!!!
Otto!!!

rob said...

T.J. said...

Fuzzy Garcia

rob said...

T.J. said...

He thinks they going to Sizzler? For a specific type of food?

Clarence said...

Dave said...
