This morning The Register looks at the odd tale of Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, who apparently holds the best analyst conference calls: “…in which he delved into his sexuality and experiences with cocaine, in the midst of a tirade on how a cabal led by a “Sith Lord” was out to destroy his company.”

How did we miss that call? There’s a PDF transcript here, audio is here.

The site’s real story this morning is how Byrne got a mention for Worst CEO of 2005 by MarketWatch.com, being beaten out by another tech concern, Paul Eibeler of Take-Two Interactive, publisher of the Grand Theft Auto games.
