Really, Forant?  And here I thought it actually *was* a social club, silly 
wabbit.  And I certainly don't want Pierce "making [a] piece" with someone 
there in the locker room.  I mean, he can play "grab ass" with whomever he 
likes on his own time, but I think showing favoritism in the shower will 
just ruin team chemistry.  What if Piece wants a "piece" of Battie and 
Baker gets jealous?  I mean, isn't his "piece" just as good?  Maybe if 
they spread around the "piece" they'd be OK?  Guys'd be dropping the soap 
all over the place.  It'd be chaos.  Chaos, I tell you.  Pure chaos.

And perhaps you're right about Baker.  In fact, I know you are, you just 
have to go back to 1997 to see it.

You may think that showing disregard for the "superstars'" desires and 
picking up a failing tub of goo will herald big success.  Typically, and 
unsurprisingly, I do not agree.  In fact, you provide a wonderful 
benchmark for me -- the same role Ronald Reagan played when he was 
President/still functioning (somewhat mutually exclusive things) -- when I'
m feeling mentally lazy I just find out what you or Ronnie thinks, then 
immediately think the opposite.

It keeps, and has kept me, in good stead, indeed.
