She's A Tall Drink Of Water


The Connecticut Sun's (gee, do you think they're sponsored by the Mohegan Sun casino complex?) seven-foot-two-inch Margo Dydek, originally from Poland.

In case you're not sure, she's the taller one.

Not really sure what the news value of this is, except-- Boy, is she tall.

If her agent isn't working on getting her a bit part as an assassin in the next James Bond movie, he should be fired.

Thanks to LauraW.

She is hot, too!

Hey, you can't bring up Eastern European women's basketball players without bringing up Ivana Mandic.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Dave, I've decided your signature is not long or descriptive enough, so I've taken it upon myself to fashion a new one.

Take it off!

Posted by: brak on August 3, 2005 12:54 PM

Dude, first off, I'm a blogger. By definition, I'm obviously an egotistical link-whore.

Second off, Ace linked the Ivana Mandic stuff before, with the exact same "should be a Bond villain" schtick. I was just reminding him of a related posting. Convergence, and all.

Back off man. . . I'm a scientist.*

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

*Yeah, a political scientist, but what's the difference?

Just as you are jealous of Ace's traffic and feel the need to give him shit, I am jealous of your even having a blog (admittedly I could have one, but would it be worth reading? well, you've seen my comments, so you can draw your own conclusion) and find it necessary to occasionally fling crap at you. In an always good natured manner, of course.

Posted by: TheDude on August 3, 2005 02:11 PM

Au contraire, I'm not jealous of Ace's traffic.

I'm jealous of his raw, musky-tender sexuality.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

P.S. You should start a blog. C'mon, I'm proof, any idiot can have one.

Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on August 3, 2005 02:14 PM

As a Point of Factual Accuracy that Takes Out all the Fun (TM), the proper pronunciation of "Mandic" would actually be something like "Man Ditch."

Posted by: David C on August 3, 2005 02:14 PM

Dave,

Actually, I did. I had a grand total of 8 posts over the better part of six months. I'm currently letting it wither on the vine (feels less like quitting). It did make me appreciate, even more, the quality crap people like you and Ace generate.

Posted by: TheDude on August 3, 2005 02:20 PM

She could rest her boobs on your head.
Just sayin'.

Posted by: harrison on August 3, 2005 03:00 PM

What's a "musky-tender"?

Posted by: Grendel on August 3, 2005 03:04 PM

Aw, c'mon, Grendel, I had a late lunch. Just thinking about that phrase is giving me gas. We don't need details.

Posted by: TC@LeatherPenguin on August 3, 2005 03:21 PM

I'll bet Lipstick Dynamite's feet are bigger than this girl's. ; )

Posted by: compos mentis on August 3, 2005 03:33 PM

Which one is lauraw?

Posted by: 72 dogs on August 3, 2005 03:34 PM

Trying to "box" her out is Liberty cutie Becky Hammons, who's got the entire first 7 rows (the whole crowd IOW) drooling lesbo slobber all over the Garden. They have to call in the guy who used to mop up after Patrick Ewing to swab the place down, I'm betting.

I'll bet Lipstick Dynamite's feet are bigger than this girl's. ; )

Compos, I appreciate your confidence, but my size 11 shoes just can't measure up to what the Polish Amazon Goddess must wear.

sniff.

It seems that I must pass the golden shoestring to a taller, bigger-footed successor.

Time to creep away and pour another drink....

Posted by: Lipstick on August 3, 2005 06:24 PM

Dude, that REALLY looks like a photoshop. I mean hell, she looks 3 feet taller than the woman in front of her.

Posted by: Beck on August 3, 2005 07:23 PM

Guess I could always just look on the Connecticut Sun website. Sure enough. Margo Dydek. 7' 2" 223lbs.

Posted by: Beck on August 3, 2005 07:25 PM

Mmmm, freakishly tall women are hot. And I'm 6'3", which should put my face right about at breast height (why yes, I am in the middle of a long dry spell. Why do you ask?).

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.

Gee I wonder why Walz allowed Somali pirates to steal 1 billion in American dollars... could it possibly be that criminal illegal aliens are voting in elections and the Democrats know it and play to that illegal constituency?
Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]
