I do. Self-help remedies. It worked like a charm. There are obvious risks but you assess your adversary going in and make the call on assuming them.

That is not legal advice and YMMV.

No, no, no. Bats are welcome in Connecticut, just not in my house.

I thought that was the rule they would need to follow. Maybe you should put up plaques with your motto by all windows and doors of the house.

The adjunct professor at my law school who taught the landlord/tenant class I took suggested that residential landlords offer the tenant $100 bucks to leave -- she told us about her favorite client, whose strategy was to rip a hundred dollar bill in half (keeping the larger part) and tell his tenants that they would get the other half when they were out of the apartment.

$100 bucks? That's barely enough to make it worth my while not to rip out and sell all of the copper plumbing.

You change the subject. Does Jason Giambi's good year this year somehow negate the fact that he was a cheater in past years? If I refrain from raping baby boys this year, am I free from action on previously tearing their little rectums asunder?

$100 in 1970 dollars. NotBob, was it still called an LLB when you received your degree?

Tiger meat.

A restaurant in northeastern China that advertised illegal tiger meat dishes was found instead to be selling donkey flesh — marinated in tiger urine, a newspaper reported Thursday.

The Hufulou restaurant, located beside the Heidaohezi tiger reserve near the city of Hailin, had advertised stir-fried tiger meat with chilies for $98as well as liquor flavored with tiger bone for $74 a bottle, the China Daily reported. Raw meat was priced at $864 per kilogram.

The sale of tiger parts is illegal in China and officers shut down the restaurant, only to be told by owner, Ma Shikun, that the meat was actually that of donkeys, flavored with tiger urine to give the dish a "special" tang, the newspaper said.

The report didn't say how the urine was obtained.

Surely there must be someone out there that knows how the urine was obtained?

I at an entire salad with a plastic knife the other day because I forgot to pick up a fork on my way out of the store. And I was too lazy and hungry to go to our cafeteria and pick up a fork.

On another note, is anyone watching Rome? I quite like it.

Exactly my thought. How about changing the locks and telling them if they don't pay you $XXX (representing back rent, interest, costs and penalties per the lease) by 2:00 PM that day they will never see their stuff again? Not that I am endorsing that approach and of course, YMMV.

It goes beyond agreeing the buses should have been moved (that's a no-brainer) and simplifying the issue as you have is either being wilfully ignorant or disengenous. the broader issue is what is the role of the various governmental entities in ensuring disaster preparedness and response. My point has been that the responsibility primarily, up through post-levee breaking was the local authorities and their failure was paramount to the resultant death and human suffering. Ty says he expects the local government to be incompetent and the Fed must take primary responsibility for everything. Over the last three days a lot of interesting information that raises additional questions about the local response and responsibility have come out. I posted them and the response from a certain wing, is generally, so what where was FEMA. Ty continues to respond and say that might be troubling, I would like to know more. But on the Federal side, everyone knows enough know to indict.

The blame Bush message first and frequently on every issue is far more white noise than anything I posted related to nagin's faiulures. That white noise has been going on for 5 years.

the local government responsibility part was in my first post (and before you posted this response I had edited it back in to my attempted repost). I'm not going to debate you here on the points you raised about local government response. That belongs on PB if at all. And I don't think anyone, Ty included, is seriously debating whether there is responsibility to go around here. I am saying that the manner in which you post things directly detracts from people's willingness to read your content. I am not the first person to point this out to you. or even the first person today to point this out to you.

as to your blame Bush crap, need I remind you of your 10 to 15 thousand anti-Clinton posts? You are such a fucking hypocrite. It almost makes the effort of asking an admin to put you on ignore for me seem worthwhile.

Hopefully at some point you will start being amusing to me again. But that point will definitely not be today.
Seriously. This is not schtick.

I agree about the barroom brawl, but what was with the operation later? It's like you cut open some guy's head without any anasthetic, stick a metal plate in it, sleep for a few hours, wake up, put on a red bandanna, and you are a-ok?

My grandfather was an artist who frequently drew and sculpted nudes. He had a photo book around that was all nude women from the 1940s and 1950s. They were all done up with that old hair style and were typically oiled up with incredible bodies.

Got a lot of mileage out of that one.

I'm wearing caramel brown borgans today. They're sort of an Italianate style, you know, with a very thin sole and a lower vamp.

The problem is that they're Johnston & Murphy. They're handmade in Italy, but they're J&M branded. I thought the Made in Italy part would save them, but it doesn't.

They're not very comfortable. They are too narrow just below the arch, and the leather is not as soft and flexible as it should be in better Italian shoes.

I think that maybe I should replace them with a new pair. Allen-Edmonds has a lot of nice brogans in the caramel color, and they last like nobody's business. They even have some with a sleeker silhouette. But they don't have tha italian flair.

I saw a pair of Donald J. Pliner's that I like. But they cost over $700, and I just can't bring my self to pay tha much for a pair of shoes, especially ones that do equal duty as both dress and dress casual shoes.

Anyway, does Jimmy Choo make shoes for men? Manolo?

The day always starts shitty on the train, where I'm faced with decrepit, sagging, stained, wrinkled, rotted, festering, cancered, crippled, beaten, dejected reminders of the shit highway we all face...

How's that?

But it gets better...

I usually feel better once society is removed from my view. I can sit behind my computer, take calls from jackasses and read about what The Prince has fucked up this week. Occasionally, a whole lotta people die somewhere, and it forces my gaze from The Shit. Yes, in a twisted way, reading about a tragedy is an escape... beats bickering with dickheads, no?

But I take my check, hop back on the train and, do it again. Repetition. Boredom. Drudge work for the money... the modern condition... No way to fight it. I like to eat well. Gas is pricey.

I should have died of that blow induced heart attack I had senior year... I looked out over the ocean and thought, "Fuck, this will be a terrible end..." No. No it wouldn't have been... But what the fuck did I know? I was just another asshole kid who never thought "work" would ever really happen to me... Whatever. Who am I kidding? It was a panic attack... I wasn't dying. God had way more punishment in mind for me...

A bullet in the head? I'd love one every now and again. But I don't have the guts. Now, if I could hire someone to take me out at a time when I wasn't expecting it... when I got too old... I might not mind that. Anything to stop this maddeningly dull life.

Dropped with one slug from a high powered rifle I never saw coming - my brains all over a pack of worthless slugs around me trudging from the train.

That I could hack. Just gimme five more years to try to do it myself with liquor.
Sebastiani, I love you to death and you are perhaps my favorite poster, besides Penske (2!) but I gotta say, this disaffected, HST-lite schtick is getting a little weary. I mean, by all accounts, you lived a blessed life.

I'm watching it and enjoying it as well. It's kind of like what I imagine this place would be like if we all lived in the same city and could live up to all our bullshit.

The History Channel is also running several shows on Rome and apparently, the series isn't all that far off base.
