Mourning the Loss of a Modern-Day 'Entrepreneur'
I don't know how this story missed the cover of Business 2.0, but we lost a great, young "entrepreneur" in February 2004. His name was Larmondo "Flair" Allen, and at least one local New Orleans paper had the decency to report the tragic demise of this ahead-of-his time genius.

What kind of business was he in? I'm not sure. But he did fuck a lot.

Gunshot wounds took the life of Larmondo at the tender age of 25 — I'm guessing his business wasn't online media, because I don't remember any bullets flying around my offices during the advent of Al Gore's Internet — but his legacy will be carried on by his nine children. I'm sure he prepared them well for life ahead.

Washington Post: Heralded Iraq Police Academy a 'Disaster' — Guess the Arab version of Tackleberry didn't go over well.

Photo: Lucy, the Female Hominid Who Lived 3.2 Million Years Ago — Looks more like a hemroid than a hominid. You know someone/something had sex with her, too.

Yale University to Post Courses on Web for Free — If I wanted to sit at the computer and fail every test, I'd just re-do my fantasy football draft and take Larry Johnson at No. 1 again.

50 Dark Movies, Hidden in a Painting — One of the best combinations of web technology, marketing and fun out there. A rarity, indeed. (Found on Gorilla Mask)

Dwight Schrute's Blog — Talk about being the last guy you'd expect to be blogging on company time. Which sounds like a pretty funny premise for an episode of The Office, if you ask me.

'Drinking With Bob' Rant: Laughing Elmo! — He's not laughing with Elmo, he's laughing ... well, not at all.

YouTube: Matt Damon Flips on Jimmy Kimmell Live — Some really funny stuff, but if you think it's not staged, you're an idiot.

Agent: Bonds Will Play in '07 — Is there any doubt we'll see a ton of columns this offseason imploring Barry to give it up and not embarrass baseball any more?

Not only 8 kids, but he was only 25 years old.

Pretty funny, but isn't it 9 kids?

Ha, you're right. I'll change from 8 to 9 now. Can't believe I shorted the guy.

I believe that started having children at age 10. You'd think he was too busy getting busy to get himself shot.
