    I don't care what you call me, just so long as you call me.

    Not sure this really has anything to do with anything, but I like telling a lady that she's "quite a handsome woman." They never seem to know whether to take it as a compliment or not.

    I get a similar reaction when I say she looks "healthy."

    Brings to mind Royal Tenenbaum saying to his grandson after the death of the kid's mother. "Very sorry about your mother. She was a very attractive woman."

    "Will Settle For Nice Hair" ... sounds like a name you'd hear in Dances With Wolves.

    Ty Webb was one of those who thought Dances with Wolves deserved the Oscar for Best Movie in 1990 over Goodfellas. Matter of fact, he Stands with a Fist about it.

    This isn't really my story, but it's a good one ...

    Back when that movie came out, my best sportswriting friend was still in the business. One of the guys he worked with thought it great fun to give everyone Lakotan Sioux names. Well, one guy there, another old friend of mine, was one of those terminal bachelor types. He was in his mid-40s then, and not much to look at, and of course he wasn't exactly rolling in the dough ... but he was picky as hell when it came to women. Unless they were pretty good looking AND young (say, mid-20s at the most) he wasn't interested.

    His Lakotan Sioux name was "Sleeps Alone" ...

    This is a great point...some of the world's smartest people are also some of its most vile human beings.
