My Favorite WNBA Players Based On Name Alone
You know how when you just move to LA and you have some friends but not a ton of friends and what friends you do have are gone for the holidays and you’re just hanging out on a Saturday alone feeling sorry for yourself because you haven’t been invited to any holiday parties and all of your friends in New York are going to eight holiday parties a day and it doesn’t even feel like Christmas here so you compile a list of your favorite names of WNBA players? You know how that happens? It’s such a cliche, I know, and everyone has their own list, but this is mine. It also occurs to me that a fun game could be WNBA Player or 17th Century Sea Captain?:
Epiphanny Prince
Carolyn Swords
Courtney Vandersloot
Shavorite Zellous
Tangela Smith
Essence Carson
Quanitra Hollingsworth
Plenette Pierson
Cappie Pondexter
Alexis Hornbuckle
Seimone Augustus
Belinda Snell
Karima Christmas
Sheryl Swoopes
Matee Ajavon
Jantel Lavender

Coco Miller
Armintie Price
Kelly Miller (jokes)
My Three-Month Facebook Dialogue With A Scammer From Malaysia Pretending To Be A Beautiful Woman →

My friend and fellow McSweeney’s contributer Teddy Wayne wrote this. That is, he wrote to a “woman” named Claire Anrie who friend-ed him on Facebook, and “she” wrote back. It’s hilarious. One of my favorite exchanges in it is this:
Teddy Wayne: Come to New York! We have many restaurants, discotheques, nightclubs.
Claire Anrie: can you accommodate me?
Teddy Wayne: Of course!
Claire Anrie: do you think is proper fro you to do that
Teddy Wayne: Why not? We have known each other only a short time, but I feel I already know you well in some ways.
Claire Anrie: – am so much in love with you
– am cool
– i like a guy who knows how to treat a lady
Teddy Wayne: I would buy you concert tickets, stereo, red dress.
