This comment came up on a previous stupid poll suggestion that I started. So I'm repeating it here because we really should get the answer to another stupid poll. That way we can cross-reference the responses and create a bell curve that will accurately display the standard deviation. If Facebook can do it so can TMP right? Should TMP offer an IPO so the Editor can retire in the lap of luxury? 1. YES 2. YES 3. YES 4. I don't know, don't ask me, I'm an idiot. Theses are the only four choices available in this poll. You may choose a maximum of three. Do not include any additional comments as they will simply be ignored anyway. Please explain your answer(s)in proper four-paragraph memo format. |

Yes, of course, you can always find people who want to lose their shirts by investing in websites. |

Yes! Irregular Penguin Ova for all! The first round's on me! |

IPO = Initial Public Offering ie.. Going Public and offering stock in the company. |

Absolutely, and get the guys that did the Facebook one to run it, since they've done such a bangup job. 25% loss from the initial buy-in, in about a week, if I recall correctly. |

I think the SEC requires internet corporations to install a "Like" button before they are allowed to go public. |
John the OFM | 30 May 2012 7:32 p.m. PST |
I will just take all the money I made off Facebook and recycle it! Oh, I geuss that means YES YES YES |
wrgmr1 | 30 May 2012 7:45 p.m. PST |
Bill's house, Bill's rules, why would he want to go public? |
SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER | 31 May 2012 6:58 a.m. PST |
Then he would have to have a board of directors. |
religon | 31 May 2012 11:14 a.m. PST |
I would suggest Bill consider very carefully before going public. My mock-draft of likely BOD candidates follows
Kyote Bluer than Blue Kevin Trudeau Connard Sage Herman Cain Grand Duke Natokina Judge Judith Sheindlin Security Minister Critter Careful analysis has revealed that the following are necessary on every BOD
(2-3) Likable, aging gentlemen more interested in booze & babes than business. (1) Deeply Confused Person (1) Bitter Critic (1) CEO from another industry for "perspective" (1) Cross-dresser (1) Analytical Genius (1) Texan with an over-sized hat |
SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER | 01 Jun 2012 3:47 p.m. PST |
Well I fit all but CEO from another industry. Pick me and you can fill Texan and Cross-dresser, as I will wear my kilt to Board meetings. |
SECURITY MINISTER CRITTER | 01 Jun 2012 3:48 p.m. PST |
