Want to dring vodka from David's ****?

How about eating a birthday cake in the shape of a woman's breasts ... with sparklers mounted on top?

These and other debauched entertainments would be available had you attended the $2 million week-long 40th birthday party that former Tyco Chairman Dennis Kozlowski threw for his wife at a resort in Sardinia.

MSNBC Coverage

Reuters Coverage

quote: Tyco footed about half the bill for the party in Sardinia, which featured an ice sculpture of Michelangelo's David spewing vodka from his penis and a birthday cake in the shape of a woman's breasts with sparklers mounted on top.

Kozlowski is currently standing trial with former CFO Mark Schwartz on charges of looting $600 mil from Tyco Corp, a manufacturing conglomerate best known for fire alarms and security hardware.

Jurors were only shown parts of a tape of the party. The judge ordered the more salacious parts of the tape edited out for fear that they would "prejudice" the jury against Kozlowski.

If convicted, Kozlowski faces the possibility of prison, hoepfully in an uncomfortably small cell with an inmate named Bubba.

How exactly do you get from drinking vodka out of David's penis to looting $600 mil?

You're just bitter because you were a Tyco investor.

The party was only $1million worth of theft. Let's get to the really big stuff like the "loans" and company "art" collections.

But we don't have video of that stuff for the jury. Besides, with that kind of budget, they should go to prison just for having such bad taste. Just proves you can't steal class or style.

No. Let's be clear: in the olden days, this guy would have had you drawn and quartered for criticizing him. Then he would have drunk champagne out of your skull, and loudly proclaimed that it was good to be king.

Skulls don't make very good champagne flutes. Good, medium to full bodied red wines are best from drinking from human skulls. A good St. Emilion or Medoc or Haut-Medoc would be best.

It's all in the shape of the cranium, and a good "earthy" wine that will benefit from the little bit of calcium it will pick up due to the tannins interacting with the skull.

Well, you know that, and I know that -- but does Mr. Kozlowski strike you as a man of such refined sensibilities?

If he's drinking from a shlong made of ice, probably not.

I have mainly value funds. They bought Tyco after it tanked.

They paid Jimmy Buffet $250K to play at the party.

Apparently no one told Buffett he could've gotten more. (And in today's corporate entertainment market, $250K is not out of line for headline talent.) Heck, The Eagles get $2MM for private events.

I'd have thought Buffett would have taken care of the catering
