I was hanging this weekend at Chico's, my favorite downtown Canadian S & M club,
when who do I spot but Juan Chambers, pulling up in a German-made limo with
French license plates, and a Canadian driver. I surreptitiously followed him
downstairs to the dungeon, and lo and behold what a sight. There were some
VERY high ranking officials, one from Nortel, one from Alcatel, one from Siemens, and
one from Tellabs, each of them with their hands tied above their heads,
and their trousers down around their ankles.
And behind them was none other than TM and, of course, his plumber.
TM was dressed in nothing but jackboots and a leather bra,
with a silver-studded, MSDW-embossed whip in his hands and a
cigarette dangling from his lips. He would randomly strike one of those
poor fellows, and they would scream out some number above $45 US,
which would cause the other fellows to moan even more loudly.
Meanwhile, TM's plumber was on his cell phone, screaming to whoever
he's talking to that he wanted the Corel Center booked, gdammit,
and he wanted it booked now!
Next thing I know I look over and there's Juan Chambers with his
cellular PC notebook. He's logged into the Yahoo NN message board,
and is typing completely inane rantings and ravings, all in capital letters,
like "YES!! THE DEAL IS GOING TO HAPPEN ANY DAY
NOW!! MAYBE TOMORROW!! " etc etc.
So Chico comes downstairs and says to Juan "Hey you here to dance or what?"
So Juan logs off. I figured it was time I got out of there. Last thing I saw
was Juan and Chico doing the foxtrot...
Juan dances at Chico's,
And when the clients are evicted,
He empties the ashtrays,
and pockets all that he's collected...

Tunica: The 3 Gorillas have very strong relationship with their clients. NN has a linmited sales force that has to be
concentrated in famiiar territory. Further, NN's sales force in the U.S had some recent changes. Their past performance had not been spectacular.
Taking all this into consideration, NN will have to prove if they can pry open that opening and show some spectacular gains. Till that happens, I would refrain from hyperbolic expectations.
