Portland Scribe Clutches Pearls at Mark Cuban’s Profane Response

Dear Media Type People Who Get To Ask Mark Cuban Questions:

Apparently, Mr. Cuban now tires of you asking him about how much it  hurt to be hit by whatever he was hit with during Game 3 against the Trailblazers. If you ask, he will call you a dumbass, and perhaps throw a few more choice profanities at you.

Dear Kerry Eggers and the kind, Amish folk at the Portland Tribune:

Want to learn about a string of profanity? I can learn you that. But a couple of f-bombs, a dumbass and a damn sandwiched in a few hundred words does not a string of profanity make. Call me, or e-mail me, and I’ll show you a string of profanity. I’m good at it.

That being said, dude – if you had done your homework, you would’ve known you got off easy.

Hugs, Kisses, and Best Waffles,

Me

Leading Off (4/28/11)

Tiger Blood Rained Down at AAC. But not from Charlie Sheen. No, instead, Kidd Kraddick, emcee of last night’s show, said he was the one everyone loved: “I was amazing at Charlie sheen show. They just couldn’t hear me cuz of all the booing. Lol.” However, a certain co-worker tweeted her response, “Kidd Kraddick booed more than Sheen. KK nervous. Sheen: “you told me these people loved you.” Kraddick #Losing.” Don’t worry about not having access to read this recap of the show. I consider not going to be me winning.

Investigation After Officer’s Slaying Leads to New Policies. Officer Jillian Michelle Smith was killed after responding to a domestic violence call. It has now been determined that the 911 operator and the dispatcher mishandled the call, thus causing them to either resign or be fired. It’s now a policy that two officers must respond to domestic violence calls. But this is just a temporary change, one that will be reviewed to see if it’s even necessary. Lessons were learned. Let’s just hope they’re remembered.

Let’s Get Rowdy. Or not. Tuesday in San Antonio at a Frisco RoughRiders game, umps declared a home run a ground-rule double. This caused Frisco players to throw trash cans and bats into the crowd, and, of course, the crowd reciprocated. I love sports. You never really know what’s going to happen–one minute you’re reaching for a foul ball, the next a trash can is nailing you in the head.

Found a Localized Royal Wedding Story, Finally! I don’t know if you are aware, but there’s this really large and important wedding happening tomorrow. While everyone’s been guessing and wondering about what Kate will wear, we at D have been racking our brains trying to find a way to localize the story. I thought about going with Tim’s tweet about how he’d rather watch the wedding than the NFL draft, but then I found this. It’s way sweeter than talking about the draft.
