Congratulations. You are heartier than a 28-year-old South Korean.

What did the voices tell you to do?

There are going to be 65,000 people and eight stages in Zilker Park. Who cares who all is there?

Except for Shape Shifter, who, once again, will miss out on hearing the pee guy story first hand, since he'll be out of town.

ET fix weird grammar construction

He had one of those big batons used by drum majors of marching bands, and looked to be practicing his rountine. It just looked really odd to me for some reason -- I mean, Zubaz pants on a kid? Twirling a drum major baton? What kind of weird shit is that?
Don't be a hater. The guy could be in training.

Admittedly, it's a bit hard to square the zubaz, which he probably inherited taste-wise from his dad who outgrew them. But maybe it's the i want to play loud and look loud approach he's already working on.

What are Zubas pants? From the name alone, I am guessing that they are not PLF-style plaid pants.
Here's a pic of me wearing a pair on a casual Friday, circa 1993:

So, good old Not Bob had an out-of-the-office event today, and noticed two very interesting and strange things while on the road.

1. While stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Highway 64 and Podunkville Boulevard, I idly (heh) looked over at the car next to me (a late model GM sedan of some sort), and notice that the driver looks EXACTLY like Schneider from "One Day At A Time."

As the light changed, Schneider turned and gave me the nod of recognition that one usually gives acquaintances (like the guy you see once a week or so in the elevator). In this case, I read it as a "yes, I do look like Dwayne Schneider, but I am Not Him" kinda look.

I think NB picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Disturbance in the force, no?

As ACL is the topic, I'll let Lyle speak for me:

"I understand too little too late. I realize there are things you say and do you can never take back. But what would you be if you didn't even try. You have to try."

That was as far as I got. I couldn't see the rest of your post through my stinging tears.

Baby, as you can see, I'm working a boat show. As soon as I finish taking pictures with all the conventioneers, me and the other fabulous models will be over to your place to "Get This Party Started". Please have the plastic tarps ready.

Love,

Flinty

You’d have to look exceptionally hard, even in politics, to find a group of lazier, more useless, smarmy, self-important, chickenshit, middle-managment, scared shitless and unable-to-think-beyond-protection-of-themselves people than law school faculty and admin. Wasted plasma, from the front office through to the librarian.
The friends I have who are teaching law are nothing like this at all. Teaching can be fun. I only wish I could enjoy legal scholarship, most of which strikes me as a tremendous waste of energy and wood pulp.

I take it that you are anti-masturbation. Interesting.

Question
 
Here is a not so fun question for the Board:

What should a person do if she guaranteed a student loan for her now-ex-husband (less than a year before the divorce, no less) and she finds out today that he has turned deadbeat and is not paying it? The loan is in loss recovery and the person at the bank that I spoke with said that my options are:

1. pay the entire amount now due and they will take it completely off of my credit history (but not the deadbeat's) and then proceed against him

2. settle with them for some lesser amount and it will remain on my credit as a settled debt, and then go after him

3. try to find him and get him to pay up

I spoke with deadbeat's mom, who says he is "between jobs" and gave me his cell number. He (surprise!) didn't answer his cell. I don't think that even if they were inclined to help me (which they might be if convinced by me), his parents could afford to pay it off. I can afford to pay it off if I need to. And it seems to me that I have to do option 1. Anyone care to convince me otherwise? I'll certainly miss that $21k from my savings.

People suck.
