    It’s actually incredible how many times (s)he used the phrase ‘Russian Girls’ – for those curious it shows up 13 times. Meanwhile, there’s only 1 lousy picture of these hot Russian Girls. Terrible ratio of hot chicks/words.

    Must’ve been written by a chick, who’s not hot, or Russian.

    Bedbugs. Sheesh. That’s why I always keep it wrapped.

    The only thing that’s new about this story is that the chicks are Russian. Even the fact that they instantaneously grow mustaches and gain 300 lbs as soon as they are married isn’t new. It’s the cycle of life…

    Bess, how are you feeling? Please tell us funny stories from last night…

    I bet Bess partied at Minetta’s last night!

    I suspect a quarter-pounder. From the King.

    I bet she went to the strip joint to cash in on the free lap dances!

    How did she let patrons know she had arrived and it was in fact her?

    I saw someone dressed in a hard hat, Houston Oilers starter jacket, hammer pants, and Timberlands punching people in the face there last night. I can’t be sure it was her though, since she sucker punched me in the ear before I could get a good glimpse.

    Biff Bassness told Bess he would get her some “diamonds” for her birthday, so he sent her a deck of cards!

    That outfit sounds pretty fresh

    I think I saw Bess on Chatroulette last night. Couldn’t be sure, but had curlers in hair, white rimmed sun glasses, spiked neck collar, navel pierced with a railroad spike, pet tarantula walking around, background noise by Pantera, bald guy in fleece walking around from time to time in the background, old Playgirl pin up of Jamie Dimon (?) on wall behind where laptop camera was located, Goldman Sachs logo-ed “inertia balls” slapping back in forth on surface near camera, and what looked to be Mark Haines and Art Cashin leg wrestling in Sham Wow loincloths in the back ground on the floor from time to time when the laptop camera was jostled. I could be wrong as I was munching dried mushrooms at the time.

    Read this rather odd story about Viewsonic, who is trying to compete with the iPad with a new Android tablet:

    I know! Isn’t it also crazy that Lou Gehrig died of a “Lou Gehrig’s Disease?” The odds of that are astronomical.
