The game well plied.

At the WIProgress pre 1st Fri. party, I struck up a convo with a guy that had raised a quarter million for some manner of tech longshot. A vast majority of venture capital dollars return, void of value, because these pitchsters look the look and speak the speak. What a waste of money this is. A $5ooK$ investment which, even if marginally relevant, would only serve a few people for a few months. This dude assured me that my low number of $30K would get me a snicker and a pass. He said that there are nervous ticks and tells that the old money people are pre-conditioned to expect. These departments are used to seeing the soft exposed underbelly of the cow tow. I said the system is due for a change on account of the new wave of entrepreneur. I know, nothing is new under the son, but the son is new. I informed him that so few people need his idea that the financing of it would seem suspicious and that my contribution, Snacton Aquafarm, will be needed everywhere and that the sniggering would be equally suspicious. He disagreed.
