That you’re not nuts about doing something does not mean you don’t do it.

Were not liking the same as not doing, I’d have never acquired the “Esq” I can slap on the end of my name (which remains connected to me like a case of Hep C or herpes...).

Beer crash
 
You people are hopeless. Punctuation, schmunctuation.

In other news...JOHANNESBURG, South Africa - Hundreds of looters battled police all weekend at the site of a beer train wreck in violence that left one woman dead, South African police said on Monday as they kept a heavy guard on the remaining alcohol.

The train carrying 180,000 crates of beer from South African Breweries derailed on Friday night near Waterval Boven, 124 miles east of Johannesburg, Superintendent Izak van Zyl said.

By Saturday morning, police were battling up to 200 people from the nearby township trying to make off with crates of beer.

Police handed the site over to railway security staff but were back again on Sunday morning, firing more rubber bullets as looters converged on the train. Officers raided nearby houses, recovered three out of 500 missing cases and arrested six people.

Van Zyl said 20 officers would remain at the site until the overturned wagons and surviving beer crates could be recovered, an operation that could take up to a week.

But by then, the beer will be toast.

I was thinking of the second one, but the first works too.

dtb, do you think "soon-to-be-ex- wife" would work? With the space?

Edit your post to just read whiff. i thoguht you made a funny like "in Texas"- get it? I thought it was intentional. so you could go back and just reply water or whiff to SS, and he'd look the fool.

Baltimore is no where near Texas. Ironically, neither RT nor I were anywhere near either Baltimore or Texas when we hooked up.

But there are airplanes in this modern world, as well as telephones.

As it happened, she was in town, and we hooked up, thinking it was going to be a short-term thing. Then we realized we actually really liked each other, and have kept it going long distance. Fortunately, we are GAs, so the expense of plane tickets is not a huge deal.

Thanks for that last sentence. I was truly concerned about whether your love would overcome the current fare raises.

You hopeless romantic bastard.

I like your acronyms better.

Uh, where was I? Oh, yes. Balt and RT have indeed gotten together, and at this point seem (to this member of the LawTalkers community, at least) to be, like, boyfriend/girlfriend. It is a long-distance relationship, with lots of flying in on Southwest.

TM got all annoyed at their lovey-dovey cooing, so they have decided not to talk too much about it. But, if you go back to posts of about 2-3 weeks, you can read all about it.

Technically, yes, although the marriage was over but for the waiting period for filing for divorce (a year in MD) before RT came around.

I don't know whether you can be invited, because (i) you haven't posted a picture, and (ii) the split infinitive thing really rankles. It could be that with a remedy to (i), you could overcome (ii), but I can't say yet.

However, I do appreciate the sentiment. That's why you're still on the "maybe" list. (In other words, you're not a "no". And as everybody knows, if you have to ask whether you are a "yes," you're not.)

Anyone heard this? Is it crap?

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Sinead O'Connor, who has recorded her first reggae album, “Throw Down Your Arms,” said she has found solace in Jamaican music and the Rastafarian faith.

“To me, I have not made a reggae record, I've made a Rasta record,” O'Connor said Monday night at a launch party for the album, set for release later this year.

The album includes covers of classic reggae protest songs such as Burning Spear's “Throw Down Your Arms,” Peter Tosh's “Downpressor Man” and Bob Marley's “War.”

Fine. I will go back and edit out the emoticon and replace it with that saying about throwing stones and glass houses and shit.

No kidding. I've got a web-enabled blackberry, but LT doesn't seem to work on it. When I was in trial last month, I felt so out of it.

I mean, Fenwick's email summaries ("July 12: Paigow and Slave bicker; Wonk replies to Christmas joke.") are good as far as they go, but they just aren't the same.

Have I ever mentioned that I like your avatar? Because I do. A lot. Especially the box set notation. Hadn't really noticed that before, but a box set of those two bands would be funny.
