When Joanie Laurer left wrestling, she had to leave her nom-de-fake-fighting behind. But The Rock gets to keep his.

Harlequin had a policy for a bit that you had to use a pseudonym, and they owned it. If you leave Harlequin, you're not Busty McSexaholic any ore.

This is probably why you're a lawyer and not an Ojibwe hunter.

I could TOTALLY be an Ojibwe hunter. Anyway, they actually did kill some fish last night with a pointy thing, but this was just throwing a sharpened stick at sharks, and I figure the resistance of the water makes that pretty hard to accomplish.

Also the setting sun behind Tom and Ian with their pointy sticks-- an awesomely funny shot.

James is good for a laugh in the Big Tom sort of way. The fact that he actually said it, "sex-eh-altee" cracked my shit up last night.

Bob nearly lost his shit over that as well. I think he said something like, "you could not make this guy up! No, wait, this is exactly the kind of guy you would make up, and that is why it's so amazing that HE ACTUALLY EXISTS!"

ve spent way too much time this morning overhearing people obsess over how their jobs will be lost to India. It seems to be a really prevalent paranoia here.

It's only paranoia if it isn't true. I handed over one of my books to an Indian writer last year. He makes a sixth of my salary. A sixth. We have a big Indian development center, and I don't see it getting any smaller. The next round of layoffs we have, I expect to see a lot of cost-shifting from expensive U.S. writers to cheaper Indians.

If we compete solely on price, I can't, it's that simple. A lot of textile workers and furniture makers are laughing and saying "Suck it up, white-collar girl!"

It's only paranoia if it isn't true.

Honestly? I think they're more at risk from H1B guys than from outsourcing proper. That's why I call it paranoia.

I want a buddy movie.

Re Joanie Laurer, I think she left with a fractious relationship to WWE so they didn't permit her to use the name. Actually, I'm just guessing this.

And by buddy movie, you mean....

I want a buddy movie.

They are my dream cast for a remake of Tango and Cash.

I don't know your line of business. In my business, if you can telecommute, you can be replaced by somebody in India. My husband's startup is doing most of its hiring in India, and the paper says that venture capitalists are pressing most startups to do the same.

Which one should be in drag?
