Excellent. I'm not an MM fan, but this one made me chortle.
For a while too long, I thought Whiner Jerkins sounded like a real company, so I didn't click this link. Fool me once...

#32Hilarious. Someone should do one about how the Web 2.0 denizens would go about with their life in a Depression. Tweeting from the government food lines, posting pictures of the day's crappy dished-out gruel on Flickr, posting Facebook updates of their hunger pangs and the number of pounds lost...quite a few possibilities.
Scoble?
He'd trim down the RSS feeds from 600 to 550.

You do? When? Love, Your Cofounder. P.S. If you mean the 2nd day of YC Demo Days in Cali, it's not a fair comparison because we didn't use powerpoint.
It was a training refresher on advanced cover tactics in urban combat. I had people in tears. My NCOIC ordered me to convert it to Powerpoint so he could use it, hahaha. P.S. I wouldn't really have a place taking any credit for the laughs at our demos... I was laughing too since I had no idea what you were going to say.
Any chance of this being available for preview?

#34This is what it looks like to me: http://abstractnonsense.com/mm-slides.png I can't find a "download" button. You’ll probably want to full screen it. Fullscreen mode is disabled. You probably need something like allowfullscreen="true" in your embed code. Am I missing a joke? Or is it just broken?

Docstoc? Isn't that a rival to Y Combinator's Scribd?

Unfortunately it requires a security clearance to view :\
When I left that country I didn't even have anything I could legally store it on so I don't even have it anymore. Because that would be a felony. And I never commit felonies. Or something.

Understood. I wouldn't want you becoming a criminal. Or at least, not over that.

I dunno. The third-person complimentary stuff he gets up to sometimes gets to be too much. :/
EDIT: No? No jokes today? I'm sorry.

#39great work matt
Re: Whiner Jerkins All Hands Meeting Powerpoint Revealed
#40pretty juvenile IMO. great bridge burning though. nailed that part.
I give VCs and startup founders more credit than you do. If I met someone who blackballed Matt on the basis of a satire like this, I would wonder why they were being so insecure and/or vindictive.
That being said, hang on a moment (waits 60s). Funny, no calls from VCs. I wonder if it was this:

Seriously, the people I know (probably many fewer than everyone else) are the types to laugh hardest at this stuff. I recall meeting with an investment banking boutique about writing valuation models for them. The partner told me that before getting to work I had to familiarize myself with the Code of Ethics for his profession. He handed me a heavy tome.
I opened it, to find... blank pages! He laughed heartily. I can't see that guy spitting on Matt's shadow as they pass in the street.
