    @5 eiffel tower:
    A threesome, with two guys and one girl, when one guy is hitting it from the back and another guy is hitting it from the front. The guys then slap hands at the top resembling the eiffel tower.

    @4 Update: The OMB has passed along this joint statement from Milonas and Orszag:
    "We were in a committed relationship until the spring of 2009. In November, Claire gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Although we are no longer together, we are both thrilled she is happy and healthy, and we would hope that everyone will respect her privacy."
    A source close to Orzag also clarifies that he and Milonas were not, in fact, dating when he met his fiance.

    whoa – When did Buhl start writing for the Greenwich Time. That Dodd video is classic. Would love to see Bess interview Dodd and ask him how far he'd bend over when he realized checks from hedgies weren't coming it.
