She hated the movie and didn't want to rent it in the first place. 52-inch TV guy's NEW girl brought it over.

Hey, she LOVED Lebowski. Laughed at parts that I didn't laugh at until the 3rd viewing. I've watched that movie with others and had them sit there dumfounded and then ask me why I thought it was such a good movie. I made them leave.

Oddly enough Paigow, I went to school with A LOT a people from your Connecticut, and they weren't half as bitter or defensive as you...

Thanks for the update. I try to avoid Politics (I waste enough time following along with you people), although my Bill Clinton sock used to enjoy making the rare appearance -- solely to annoy plated -- on Politics at the other place.

Bilmore was in town for the DCGA Halloween fest. He went as me.

After the party, we went to ATomic and shot some pool. He borrowed Chevy's ascot just to be ironic bc we all know Cheval would never stoop so low as shooting pool at Atomic.

I saw the Who in 1982 or 1983 in what was billed as a farewell tour. Ditto the Stones in 1981 ("come see Mick, Keith, and the boys on what is possibly their last North American tour").

Egad. I am dating myself. Oh, wait -- all y'all know already that I am old. Nevermind.

My Connecticut is a magical land of happy go-lucky folks just floating through life on pink fluffy clouds whle Katrina and the Waves play in the background in some endless loop. Nicole Kidman is starring in My Connecticut soon. I think she is still filiming there. Kind of like Reese Witherspoon. I heart it so and cannot wait to return to it. It has very few defensive midwesterners who cannot commit. Actually, I am kind of surprised people from My Connecticut schooled in your flat Midwest coastless state. They usually go to the CU Boulder when they cant get into the halcyon New England colleges.

I saw that Who tour too. It was actually my first big stadium concert.

The guy sitting in front of me smoked a lot of something and threw up and passed out just as the opening act (which I think was Santana) finished up.

Yeah, I'm old too.

Only in print. Anyone who listens close enough to someone who says, "Hand me that Redwell" to correct that person or even have it bother them is a fucking loser.

Clients suck
 

This is from an in-house perspective.

• Blame shifting and complete failure of anyone to take the ball and run with it.
• Doing things, getting in trouble and THEN considering talking to the lawyers about it, when we could have easily told them not to do it in the first place. They don't even have to pay us for the consult. Of course, when they do talk to us and dont' like the answer we give, they go and do it anyways.
• Broken record syndrome.
• Being blamed for shortcomings in revenue.
• Failure to read anything that comes out of this office unless it is in a one-page, bullet pointed executive summary. And then it's just a cursory glance. God help me if I'm actually asking people to do something.

I will note that my brother recently complained of every single thing on mmmmmmmmm's list, and he's an architect, so I'm guessing that clients in general are a pain in the ass.

Don't blame Wonk, you could have stayed in the trundle bed in my room. You blinked.

Redwelders
 

So, they're Redwelds (TM)? That makes me think of some little dude sitting somewhere with a little welding torch and going to town on a bunch of red folders. But they're not really that strong. Mine always break after I cram them too full of shit.

now and then I'll see a great marketing technique, but it just wouldn't fit "the real me", you know, just not something I'd feel comfortable doing. Some of you may be able to use this technique to sell, not me. On the other hand I'd like to know if she decdies to sell the globe.

You know when you want to (or can) object when opposing counsel is recrossing b/c of scope, but you don't b/c the atty is completely making your argument? You just sit back, put your hands back behind your head and smile. The judge looks over at you and lifts his eyebrows b/c he knows that you know that the other atty is shooting herself in the foot. You look back at the judge and shake your head ever so slightly, silently showing him that you're actually beginning to feel sorry for her. And you really do. But what can you do? You're zealous. All the while your witness is smirking as he continues to knock softballs out of the park...

Speaking of terms and phrases that need to be retired, how about "Don't go there"? Anyone who says this should be taken there, beaten and shot with two to the dome.

Is this a veiled reference to the inappropriately incestual relationship that Bill has Webb Hubbell's daughter? In fairness I think its quite common for step-dads to go thong shopping for their adult step-daughters. Nothing to see there......move along.

Why is this for me? Is it because you attached a too large photo and you know I hate that? Or you think I should be hawking miscellaneous crap on eBay?

Not that I dislike having my name in a re: line, of course.

Seriously, are you so uncreative that the only joke you can think of for me is something that is seen as black? It's not like I don't give you enough material to poke fun of. But it amazes me that whenever anything that is remotely related to black people registers on your slim, skewed slice of the horizon, you automatically think of me. Jesus Christ. Use your drug-addled brain every once in awhile.

May I add one other from an inhouser I deal with a lot?

Essentially it is best described as unauthorized practice of law.

This inhouser called me desperately hoping I knew something about the drafting of certain contracts her operational guys had been using for a couple of years. Some dispute arose, they sent her the K and said "oh, this is the 'legal-approved form'!" Of course it was a complete fucking disaster, a real incompetent mess, and she'd never seen it before and she was hoping against hope that we (her usual outside counsel) had seen something that had anything to do with it so we might be able to find a way out of the morass. We hadn't, of course. Turns out, her ops people had taken as a "model" an agreement from a totally unrelated project done about 15 years ago (which agreement had been signed off on by a real lawyer), and then proceeded to carve it up and "customize" it themselves. And then asserted the thing was the "lawyer approved model" because, somewhere in its mongrel history was some document that a lawyer had looked at once. I mean, how hard can it be to convert a document for use in one situation to a totally different and unrelated one?

Eight digits of damages later, I guess they found out.

For a few years, I've been kicking around the idea of trying to get some sort of Victoria's Secret-esqe sex-toy franchise going with the goal of getting a, er, marital aid shop in every mall in America. I'd be happy to partner up with your porn production company.

Question about iTunes
 

Just a couple of days ago, there was a discussion here about iTunes. If y'all wouldn't mind, I'd like to resurrect it for a moment...

Can I use iTunes with an MP3 jukebox that is not an iPod?

Is there a good reason to get an iPod or is the Nomad Jukebox my dad gave me like a year ago good enough?

I'm working on my Holiday wish list, so any input is appreciated.

That is one term I will not claim inventing. God no. I may have said "sword" but that was more in the dashing, swashbuckler sense of the term, not the Tex Watson sense.
