Takeover Rumors Spike Traffic

Wellington Leg: Big Fat Guys Chewing Cigars: Investment banker Paulie Shorts came out of hiding early Wednesday after it turned out that D&L reporter Mandy Rice-Davies was an undercover agent for the SEC. Paulie is accused of brokering a deal wherein literary blogs would be converted to Cameron Diaz fan sites.

Paulie spoke to your reporter from the comfort of a damaged lawn chair. His fresh wash cloth had been dipped in Patchouli Oil frustrating efforts to sniff out his conspiracy. Paulie came to Wellington Leg after relocating from the overcrowded witness venue of Phoenix, Arizona.

Paulie, there is a serious discussion going on at Critical Mass. You see, journalists hate bloggers and bloggers hate spammers. What’s your take?

“What’s wrong with you people? Cameron Diaz is cool. Enough said.”

It’s all about traffic?

“I get a migraine behind this. I lost the lawn chair concession at Shea Stadium and now I’m a target? Who wouldn’t want to be comfortable during a Mets game?”

Your chairs were in the parking lot.

“What, you never heard of transistor radio?”

Paulie who is your favorite author?

“Cameron Diaz. You should clear the wax out of your ears.”

    Did you know that Mandy Rice-Davies wrote a novel in 1989? (Not kidding, though I’ve never read it.)
