I assume it will be French Service

edit: just realized it will be a buffet (aka pig trough), perhaps the French Service will be available later in the evening

If this isn't a joke, then they have some big, big balls if this is indeed the menu.

I figured it was a joke.

Yes, it sure will be amuse-bouche with the all the Grand-Sized Profitable Balls - er, Profiterole Balls, walking around.

I'll just take the Devilled-Eggs and wash it down with Holy freaking water. Nothing like a douche after time spent with the Devil.

Okay, someone must have bet Blankfein a Maybach to say he was doing God's work - they've got freaking Fish & Loaves!

They rent with an option to buy...  I'm sure the parade down the Rue de Rivoli will be spectacular.

I love how they believe in 'sustainably caught' fish. Where I live, more and more people are fishing in the dirty ditch banks so they don't go to bed hungry.

Less subtle when you arrive. More like V. Once it's time for the Main Course it's help yourself:

Tyco paid $1 million (half the 2 million bill) for the 40th birthday party of Kozlowski's second wife, Karen M. Kozlowski. The extravagant party, held on the Italian island of Sardinia, featured an ice sculpture of the Statue of David urinating Stolichnaya vodka. This birthday bash was disguised as a shareholder meeting in order to get corporate funding.

Lloyd said that the Kozlowski party with the Ice Sculpture was a $2 million ticky tacky event.

Sharkfin soup. A chinese delicacy that seem to always taste like shit to me. But it is appropriate for GS to have it on the menu. Oh, and it is wildly expensive.
