As Michael Arrington frets about disclosure, Valleywag catches a whiff of one of the TechCrunch mogul's unannounced investments. Nothing major — he was in talks with a tasty piece of flipmeat. Those talks broke down when Arrington wanted too much control of the dot-com.

But the little slice of Web 2.0 prime rib thinks they can pull him back in. Meanwhile, Mike hasn't mentioned the company since a glowing February post, except to explain one of its slicker competitors.

I promised not to tell whose pie almost got a dip of Mike's fingers, but can you ID the ironically-named dot-com?
