Anthony’s Birthday shindig elicited two wonderful quotes:
Tom Leitz about Matan Shavit spending his first year in the Trading post as Rob Scafidi’s assistant: ‘Matan is not there to be your predecessor.’
Bill Schilling on his dog’s ability to eat: ‘My dog downs more wood than a Chicago prostitute’

I’d be curious if the wage increase caused by having a pimp is cause or correlation. Pimps could be an associated service like having a fixer/personal assistant that can help with scheduling and so on akin to an agent. Alternatively, pimps could merely be trying to feed off of successful prostitutes like volcano insurance salesmen.
I’d like to also see data regarding STI infection rates and if there’s a niche market for condom-only workers, much like the premium placed on cocaine from verified uncut stock.
