I'm on my like second lemonade

The Google founders' private jet, currently involved in some weird but apparently newsworthy lawsuit, is being referred to in the press and on the net as the "Party Plane."

Why?


Because the crazy kids spiced things up by asking the jet's interior designer to string a hammock, and one of them wanted a California king-sized bed -- a request that caused a rift between the two founders, who generally like to project an image of modesty.

Now that's rock 'n roll.

Anyway, since when does a hammock and a bed have anything to do with a party? (Clean your minds.)

It sounds to me like they are sleepy.


World domination must be fatiguing -- or surprisingly boring.

According to the Wall Street Journal, it was Google CEO Eric Schmidt who called it a "party plane." Jennings (the designer) claims that Schmidt informed him that it was a "party plane."

Either Schmidt has a good sense of humor, or he's never been to a party before.

Schmidt looks like a fatter, dorkier version of the late John Denver. See for yourself...

I would say the odds are pretty good that Schmidt is not currently, nor was he ever, a partier. I have my doubts about Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well. That said, if they were to have a party, what music might they choose? I vote for the "big three" of nerd rock: Radiohead, Barenaked Ladies and They Might Be Giants. Thoughts?

I think you could add Ween and make it a gang of four (no pun intended.)
