Why you have to love Kobe Bryant even if all you're interested in is food
The other night after he scored 49 points against a trash-talking opponent, the Lakers' Kobe Bryant said, "You better learn not to talk to me. You shake the tree, a leopard's gonna fall out."
I'm going to put that in the drawer with the other great comebacks that I always forget to bring out until much later when I'm going over the dispute in my head lying awake in my bed at 2 in the morning.

This will show where my mind is: All I could wonder is if the athlete was named for the steak.

Well, Margeaux Hemingway was, supposedly, named for a bottle of Chateau Margeux that put the glint in Papa's eyes the night she was conceived.

Piano Rob's comment almost made me snort my morning coffee out of my nose.

Actually, he is named for the steak. And his dad's nickname is Jellybean. I kid you not.

Mr. OF: That must have been some glint in Papa's eyes considering that Margeaux was his granddaughter. Then again his love of hootch must have produced an eternal glint.
