That was my response to Marc’s “balls in a vise” comment…preferring to have them split between at least two vices. Big picture, I’d prefer to keep my balls entirely out of vices, literal or metaphorical.

The last quote, on the elderly, was by your own Andy Barr, a hard-working kid if there ever was one.

Arrington was responding to my suggestion that, “according to your own metric, Netscape was a success because it made the internet a cool place to hang out. . . oh yeah, and $10billion.” At least he handled it gracefully…

Don’t think I was the balls/vices one, or maybe I was. I talked a bit. There was some great quotes in the backchannel during Pud’s talk though.

The response to the “balls” quote was Dave Dederer IIRC.

That was me on the orangutans. As it turns out, those badboys weigh, like, 150 lbs, so the metaphor’s pretty lame. Instead, I should have said “60 spider monkeys”.

Oh, and the orangutans one was Darren Barefoot. My favourite was on the bus, “Hey, don’t ask me, I can’t upload sh*t: I’m at Gnomedex!”

Ethan was the one responding about balls in two vises, I believe.
