microsoft offers to buy yahoo

offers $31/share , 61% above last closing price.

Meanwhile google is down $45 a share.

See, it pays to be a contrarian.

I'm betting the deal goes through. Who else can possibly buy yahoo? And they are weak right now.

look out google, mr softy is after you.

Balmer's letter to Yahoo was pretty firm. I don't think that this time Balmer and the boys take no for an answer. a 61% premium speaks clearly.

yeah, I just saw part of the letter, but it was clearly a slam at yahoo mgmt, seemed pretty, uh, juvenile even if he's right jaja.

basically he said 'look we tried to be nice and make a deal where you could keep your jobs and perks, but you turned it down, now f# at $ you"

Anyone that spots that damn elephant and shoots it will have my undying gratitude.

Slgy: Table for one? (referring to the elephant feet). If you can smell your feet, that's usually a good sign that your breath is better, jajaja. Try soaking those puppies in 10% bleach with 90%H20 - it's get the stink right outta those feet jajaja

I love Waffle House pecan waffles. Definitely has restorative powers.

What I love about Waffle House is the people who work there. Fascinating cast of characters. Have you ever watched the folks behind the grill? They don't write anything down, yet they make the orders correctly. If you watch carefully you notice that the plate indicates what the orders are.

I once met a guy who worked in HR for Waffle House. He says that the office folks are put to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Very interesting company to work for.
