That was an interesting read. Biatches with pedigrees employing hard core tactics like that. These girls don't play the wallflower game. They're straight shooters.

What I would do, after dating Vivian or Claire or whatever for a while, is built a spreadsheet of how much I spent on her, then present her with a bill. See her face wither, and taking a pic of it.

Why wasn't this front-paged!

Edit: Just read his post, and it's every bit as hilarious as before. A legend has returned to the living.

Move along, nothing to see here.
 

I caught up with the author a few months ago. He told me he was going out to SF to consult for some early-stage startups. Didn't know he was going to start the blog again.

 

A good indicator the tech bubble doesn't have much time left.

The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Some of you guys seem to be crazy about LSO, so for those who haven't seen it yet, here's his newest piece:

"The Book of Graham": http://www.leveragedsellout.com/2014/02/the-book-of-graham/

I really really hate to say this, but that post was not funny, almost as if he wasn't even trying to be. It sounded like a long rant. Disappointed.

 

And here I thought I would never get to witness this excellence in real time. This is great...hopefully this is a regular occurrence. Definitely going to read this right away.
