Jason Calacanis in the first Read/WriteTalk interview with Sean Ammirati: "I always look at entrepreneurs as samurai. It's a lonely pursuit at times and basically your life is to fight. And you get done with one fight. You clean the blood off your sword. You put it away. You walk 10 miles to another village. And then you got to clean up that village. A couple of people got to lose their arms. And then you clean the blood off your sword. You have a cup of tea and some rice. And then you walk to the next village. That's the metaphor I work under which is it's a war and you have to just be stoic. And you have to fight hard." What would executives do without the well-worn samurai metaphor to rationalize their coldblooded, mercenary behavior? [Read/WriteTalk]

This is as bad as the ninja parallel to coders. I guess it just stems from a desire for a more exciting life that doesn't involve sitting your fat ass in front of a computer for 10 hours a day slinging code.
I think Jason's seen Ghost Dog one too many times.
Proof that dieting can impair brain function.
Hey - don't forget the interviewer who drew out these JC gems. Sean Ammirati may be the next Charlie Rose or Donny Deutsch. Wasn't Sean also right there in the middle of the Jason Calacanis/Dave Winer tussle at GnomeDex?
