I think you mean "banal," not "clever."

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. — Incorrect postage has cost Wal-Mart a challenge to a state Land Use Board of Appeals decision backing the city's denial of plans for a new 207,000-square-foot store.

Attorneys for Wal-Mart submitted their appeal to the Oregon Court of Appeals in Salem on July 1, dangerously close to the 21-day deadline for appealing the June 9 decision by the board. While Wal-Mart filed the appeal with the court via certified mail, copies were sent to the city of Central Point and the citizens group Central Point First using regular first-class postage.

A court records spokeswoman, who did not give her name, told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford the case had been dismissed because the notice of appeal was "not considered to have been timely filed." Central Point community-development director Tom Humphrey said the city had received notice from its own land-use attorney, Bill Kabeiseman of Portland, that the case had been dismissed.

"Our attorneys picked up on the fact it was sent by first-class mail, so they went ahead and asked the appellate court to dismiss it at that point," Humphrey told the newspaper.

Wal-Mart attorneys Greg Hathaway and Michael Connors in Portland, who filed the appeal, were not available to comment. A similar error in postage allowed plans for a Wal-Mart store in neighboring Medford to continue.

Medford's appeal of Wal-Mart's plans for a store was dismissed by the Oregon Court of Appeals on April 12 because the city did not mail the appeal by certified mail, which provides proof of mailing and date and time of delivery.

Wal-Mart attorneys had planned to argue that the appeals board had not ruled on issues raised by either the city or the Arkansas-based retail giant. They also claim that the board interpreted portions of the city planning code to find additional evidence to support denial of the project.

Isn't this more appropriate for the PacNW Board? Hank, can we have a topicality ruling?

Sloppy
 

I had considered that, except that no one reads that board except for you and me. Do what you want.

Sloppy
 

And Ollie.

I am here now. I didn't realize this board existed. I will post any non-political stuff here.

If I don't get a call from the Serbian by the end of the day tomorrow I am going to go to her place of employment and plead my case.

What do you have to lose? I would not be surprised if she was not impressed by the effourt and succumbs to your kavorkian charms.

One can always hope. I have a cousin who lives in Seattle that has a big Yacht. His crew will take it up to the San Juans or desolation sound so I can fly up and hang out. A couple time when I visited Seatle I got to stay on the boat. Really impressed the chicks. He has now decided to sell it!!!!!!!! Wihtout my permission!!!!!!!!. How dare he. He clearly has forgotten that I am the epicenter of the universe. Can you send someone down to splinter one of his knee caps with a threat to do the other if he sells the boat. This is a real crisis and help is needed pronto.

Done. Just remember, some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But uh, until that day -- accept this justice as a gift on a random Monday in the dog days of August.

Insurgent powers
 

Cool. Can I ride in the yacht?

Tell him he has to move from the city if he sells the boat. It's the law.

We spent the weekend in Friday Harbor on a 75 ft Hatteras - owned by the mayor of Friday Harbor. It was a lot of fun.

Insurgent powers
 

I have been to Roche harbor but not Friday harbor. That is the other end of the Island right? Hanging out with Damayor - you must be pretty important.

Insurgent powers
 

Ha. I was there too. You should have called me. We could have done drinks or something.

Insurgent powers
 

Crap. You're right. It was Roche Harbor - with the cannon at sunset. Friday Harbor is where I accidently got off the ferry on my way to Victoria once.

Yeah, knowing da mayor was pretty cool. People kept stopping by and asking who we were and where da mayor was. And I have never barbecued on a boat. We found the credit card slip to his last fuel bill and were horrified at how much it cost to gas up that pig. I think it was close to 5 figures.

I'm currently reading Warriors of God, James Reston's account of the 3rd Crusade, starring Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. Pretty good except for the Richard/Phillip man-on-man action, which I found totally gratuitous, though a little exciting, nttawwt.

Dear Spanky
 

This reminds me of my FB Book Club recommendation (though not my Spanky Book Club recommendation for reasons you will note soon enough): Miniplanner by Abha Dawesar (amazon link for informational purposes only)

Reader must be okay with significant amounts of man-on-man action and some fisting (only man-on-woman fisting, if that makes it better). All the sex aside (and there is a lot of it, but not many graphic accounts), I really enjoyed this book. Well-written quasi-smut. I've read it several times. sunny could even read it in the airport (non-descript cover and title). I think I'll buy her new novel from Amazon now (using the lawtalkers link of course).

Ps. Don't try to read this and Collapse at the same time. They don't meld all that well.

Pps. This book is better to masterbate to than Collapse is.

Dear Spanky
 

Better than collapse? All that East/West axis stuff in GG&S was hot!

I suggested before, cook up some Serbian food and bring it to her home.

MUCH better than stalking her at her place of work. She will be looking to behave properly at work. If you strike a chord, you want her to feel free to jump your bones. Also, with the food, you have an ice-breaker. And at work, she has all kinds of potential "security" to put between you and her ("have the receptionist put him in room 36D and I'll be there in a few hours"). At home, what, a roommate, maybe 2?

Look, if you aren't going to take my advice, pm me her number.

So you're a man? Atticus, can we get ruling?

Insurgent powers
 

It's been established that I'm either a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman or a man pretending to be a woman. Sorry to take your corner.

Insurgent powers
 

I don't know where she lives.

Dear Spanky
 

Is this book where that recent movie came from?

Dear Spanky
 

This makes you either a woman or a homosexual (or I guess maybe a bisexual). Which one is it? Not that this is important I am just curious - trying to get a better picture of the personality that is posting.

Insurgent powers
 

Google her phone number. What kind of stalker are you?

This family just can't catch a break.

What does that mean? Where on google. Advanced search?

Crazy, Hairy American Lawyer man
 

Please, crazy american lawyer man.

no longer show up at my photo shoot. It is no fun for me and causes my boss to be much upset.

please. Just leave me alone. By myself alone.

many thank yous

Dear Spanky
 

Getting a little excited about man-on-man action makes him, on the sexual continuum, no straighter than "I guess maybe a bisexual"?

Wow.

I am pretty sure the lizard is hetero.

Dear Spanky
 

Shifty's a lot like Howie on Big Brother. Totally hetero, but bi-curious. But only around Shave.

Nuts! (in the "oops" kinds of way)

Dear Spanky
 

At what point does someone trip the line where "curious" is no longer necessary as a qualifier?

I saw that. I always thought you were Shifter, ha.

Dear Spanky
 

Remember that night when you were in Chicago and you wore your skirt out drinking? You said you wound up in the Dungeon Room of a private club on Halsted? That was the point of which you speak.

Dear Spanky
 

Those were the dayz, indeed!

Dear Spanky
 

Not to my knowledge. I'm about halfway through and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. It's not a serious historical work, choosing instead to focus on the story and the remarkable personalities. I haven't heard anything about the movie, but while I was reading the book, it struck me that this would be excellent subject matter for a movie.

eta: The US. Manufactureres Association, Business Roundtable, U.S. Exporters Association, Technet and others comprising 99% of the business community support this book.

Dear Spanky
 

Or it could mean only that I have a somewhat juvenile sense of humor.
