Definition: Priapus was the son of Dionysus and Aphrodite, a fertility god. Statues of Priapus, thought to confer luck, were marked by exceptionally prominent phalluses.

Do you think any future employer will have a clue what "due diligence for Priapus" means on a resume?

Frankly, I'm shocked and disgusted that a report like this could appear on Dealbreaker.

Everybody knows that it is correctly "its Priapus Investment Fund", not "it's Priapus Investment Fund".

Educational standards these days are a scandal.

Like all dudes they want to be big in straddles and spreads, maybe a little swap action, too - but go home alone and drunk at 4:30 am and settle for hammering their shorts.

Apparently the online porn industry saw an anamalously huge pop in their YOY comps right after the stimulus checks went out earlier this year. No pun intended (I think) on our government's part, although I'm guessing more stimulus checks would provide more of a boon to the industry.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - As the financial crisis bites deeper, laid off Wall Street employees used to fielding calls from head-hunters or hearing of jobs through their contacts are searching for new ways to find work.

And sometimes they get to drown their miseries at the same time.

One such opportunity was a "Pink Slip Party" at a midtown Manhattan bar on Tuesday night which drew about 500 people who enjoyed cheap drinks, networking, and a chance to find a new job with the 25 recruiting firms that attended.

The cover price at the party, sponsored by theLadders.com, an online recruiting firm, and Wall Street blog Dealbreakers.com, was $20, or roughly what a employed Wall Streeter would normally drop for a midtown Manhattan martini.

"CBS News correspondent Priya David spoke with several compensation consultants who said that, even in this economy, firms are worried that, if they don't pay out the bonuses, they'll lose their top talent -- people they want to keep around for when pastures turn green again.

...

For Wall Street workers still employed, there could be a hefty bonus in their checks next month.

According to a report from financial news agency Bloomberg, Goldman Sachs, for example, has set aside $6.8 billion for bonuses, and Morgan Stanley, $6.4 billion. "

We talked to these guys last year prior to Priapus' blast off. Mysteriously, they needed to draw down 100% of commitments on day 1. They did not grasp the most basic concepts of running an online business. No doubt Francis is full of shit.
