The Guardian reports that the annual auctioning of lunch with Warren Buffett, with proceeds going to the Glide Foundation, may not fetch as much cash this time around. In previous years the thing went for $650,000 and over $2 million, took place on vintage a Russ Meyer set and included dessert (Oreo Blizzards) being served off a stripper's tits. Now that the Oracle of O has "failed to cover himself in glory" people may be less willing to shell out for three hours of aberrant sex fetish and folksy business wisdom, even if it does include O Cubed's personal collection of Becky Quick money shots. The auction kicked off last night with the current bid at just $31,000.
