1 why did Atlanta give up 2 decent players for someone it really didn't want?

2 did Rashid play in aTlanta at all?

Rashid tells me that the pot in Atlanta was just glorified ditch weed and therefore he could not get "up" for the games and requested a trade to a hoodier place. So off he goes to Detroit.

Answers:

1. Cap room. It's all about the cap.

2. One game.

And beware of local serbo-croats, who might take enough umbrage at Rebraca being called Russian to throw a paczki at you or something.

I confess my esteem is motivated somewhat by my unlimited love of the name "Maura" and my desire to bang the shit out of this particular Maura.

Amen, my brothers. I know nothing of her movie career, and I stopped watching ER about ten seasons ago, but Maura during her NewsRadio days was spectaculafabulous.

He actually was taken out of context. The direct question he responded to was, "How is she as a player [skill-wise]?"

The problem is, the proper response to a question like this after it came to his attention that she may have been raped is, "I don't think discussing her abilities as a player are relevant to these allegations, which I sincerely hope are not true."

So, he's still up for dumbass of the year.

Concur, although an alternate correct answer would have been to talk about how she was a team player, an inspiration to others, or some other ridiculous shit. Apparently Barnett failed Cliche 101.

I don't care if your former player is the Unabomber, you don't say bad stuff about them to the media.

Dumbass, dumbass, dumbass.

There's a restaurant with just peanut butter sandwiches. Wow. And, Hank, at least one involves bacon.

I love the food network channel thing.

So, my question to you all is, crunchy or smooth?

And thanks for the link Jack.

This is almost certainly not the right place to post the following question, but I'll take my chances:

Does anybody know what "stapled financing" is?

(I'm too shy to ask at a meeting where everyone else seems to know what it means...)

Dear Dressed,
When firms sell a business, especially investment banks, they will often attach a stapled financing to the deal so that the purchaser doesn't need to worry about raising debt for the acquisition; the purchase comes with financing attached.

There is also one in the Mall of America. Started last fall by three lawyers, or maybe ex-lawyers, now. Crazy kids.

I just read the most disturbing thing on ABCNews.com. I wouldn't normally post such stuff here, but I think the FB needs to see this:

"She gives the class exercises intended to break through the women's sexual inhibitions. "I hand out big sheets of paper, and the participants paint or draw their vulvas with glitter glue and sparkles and feathers and pens," she said, "and then I make them sign it and hang it on their wall." She says this exercise really changes a woman's attitude. "If a woman walks around town and she has the thought, 'I have a vulva.' It changes her posture. It changes her voice. It changes the way she carries herself.""

I never want to draw my vulva. Not with glitter glue. Not with sparkles. Certainly not with feathers and pens. Never.

And if I start walking around thinking "I have a vulva" I will then be walking around convulsing with laughter, and that is not a good look.

Yet Eve Ensler has made scads of money based on the evidently accurate proposition that women want to hear the word coot, . . . er, vagina.

No, the convulsing sounds unsexy. Also, I think, it would not be particularly hot to say to a woman, ooooh baby, I like your vulva.

Nor have I thought drawing one would be a particularly useful task. And why would you use glitter glue and sparkles? I would think if I happened to look and saw that it sparkled, I might be a bit concerned.

Each to their own I guess.

Not to mention, it would take some measure of coordination, skill and technology to actually draw your own, wouldn't it?

So the momma's boy from The Bachelorette was on a local radio station this morning discussing how wonderful his mother is and how the editing of her on the show was unfair. Apparently he believes that she didn't mean "submissive" submissive but instead she meant "supportive" submissive. That clears it up. He also said he was disappointed when he saw The Bachelorete was Meredith because she wasn't his type (this in response to a questions from the dj as to whether she had the widest face Lanny had ever seen), but that her personality grew on him.

Let us now come together in praise of Maura Tierney.

Ohhh, me too, me too. You didn't mention Primary Colors in which she was the best thing (well, Kathy Bates was really good too, but much less easy on the eyes).

She would be on my laminated list for sure, but for the fact that she bears a striking resemblance to my first wife, and I really don't want to go there with the lovely but definately un-Tierney-like baltspouse.
