Here are some examples of what he said in last night's episode:
1. Every day is the best day of my life because I truly believe I get better looking every day. When I wake up, it's the best day yet because I know I'm better looking than I was yesterday. No, I'm completely serious. [And he is -- completely serious, that is.]
2. Let's go out. I hope there aren't going to be any fat girls there.
3. You kidding, dude? There are four girls in this house. We shouldn't have to clean anything.
4. [In response to what his goals were for the summer, after hearing people say shit like, "Make new friends" or "Be open to a new, meaningful relationship"] I'm looking to pick up girls.
5. [On phone] Hello? It's Usman, that handsome guy you met at the bar tonight...the one with the nice house.
6. Why do I get models? Because I'm good looking and rich. That's why.
7. [Something about liking his women barefoot and pregnant.]
And no, he's not kidding. Here's to you, Usman. May this be the last time you are photographed without a beer in its original container.

But he was pretty funny in his 1st movie though he sucked in Batman:

But the detail that caught our eye was that Cuban was accompanied by party promoter Usman Shaikh (and the requisite “a few young ladies”). The Post described Shaikh as “a corporate lawyer” who promotes parties at Pink Elephant, which is where the entourage went after they couldn’t get into Bungalow.

Yep. They must have taken that straight from Page 6. I wonder how he got them to include his name in the piece.

Reality-show participants are a different species entirely. Familiar, very much like humans in aspect and behaviour, yet somehow . . . changed. |

I think it makes the rest of lawyers looks bad. I work with so many great people that truly are cool. Why feed into that obnoxious sterotype? |

The problem with eliminating obnoxious stereotypes is that there always seems to be someone willing to live them to the hilt. Or pretend to, for some unknowable reason. What can we do? |

Could that guy be any more annoying? Mr. Arby and I stumbled on it last night and had to watch because of him. I turned it on while he was arriving in the boat, and couldn't believe the shit coming out of his mouth was for real...
I want to hang out with Usman so I can hear this crap first hand... but i'm fat. |

I'm surprised he didn't trot out any of that old tired 80s vernacular. He's such a tool. ugh.
also most attorneys I work with are intense but low key not obnoxious like that.

Yeah, it's not like bankers or hedge fund guys, [Hi RB!] but most are really cool. All joking aside they are all very nice and I'm at a collegial shop. And they all love me. I am the most requested on this floor.

they are HOT and pulling down 1-4 mill in draw. Some are hot. some are definitely NotHot. It is like anything else. I think the serious heavy hitters wear custom, and Paul Stuart. I used to see one guy his tailor used to come to the office to measure him. |

Do you get grease stains on your files from lunch or snacks?
Ultimately that caused fringey's firm to limit her to e-files.:seenno:

No, Hank, contrary to popular belief I am not jolly or whatever that preferred term was. Not after all this damn running. Oh yeah. it was "festive" and not like festivus. |
