[–] joshmn 10y ago ↗ Not trying to be weird or anything but incredible journey is capitalized and it's really bugging me for some reason. [–] blueintegral 10y ago ↗ The phrase "incredible journey" is often used by startups when they get acquired, especially when the acquisition also means shuttering the product or service. People like to joke because of how often that phrase is used.http://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/ [–] joshmn 10y ago ↗ Case of the Mondays on Friday.

[–] minimaxir 10y ago ↗ Hi Sam,I cannot take acquisition notices seriously unless they are posted on Medium. Please repost there, thanks. [–] shayannafisi 10y ago ↗ relax bro... haha
[–] skrish 10y ago ↗ "*Sequoia LPs will have 30 days to export their data." That's a very good punchline.It's one of those days when everyone gets to express their ambition under the veil of prank. ;-) [–] ocdtrekkie 10y ago ↗ As soon as I saw Incredible Journey, capitalized.
[–] chirau 10y ago ↗ "*Sequoia LPs will have 30 days to export their data." LOL. Nice touch.Reminds me of the last act in The Hateful Eight about Major Warren's(Samuel L. Jackson) purported letter from Abraham Lincoln..."Ole Mary Todd's calling, so I guess it must be time for bed." "Ole Mary Todd.' That's a nice touch,"
[–] p4wnc6 10y ago ↗ Will you also be acquiring any of the Sequoia partners' sex slaves as part of the deal?
