No apologies necessary NFH. It is a smashing good title. Not as good as mine, but, you are younger and less tempered with the wisdom of the old skool ages, albeit with a youthful intelligence that is unparalled amongst posters of your generation, sts, iyw, mmv.

BravA! BravA!

FTR, I think it is undisputed that in my day, I raced fast, lived hard, and had no regrets (except for the time I skipped the World Championships to get married. Merde, what the hell was I thinking there?!?)

Really that Thread Title is the Penske Credo!!

That the reign of NFH and Penske is more than coincidence.

I'm glad I missed the end of that K race. Nothing to see, nothing to see. Hopefully the socks are tucked safely in their drawers for a while. And I'm also happy that NFH won. The title? S'ok. Better than those Less ones, worse than the one I will use if I ever win a K race again. Meh.

So you will be going with "PenskeWorld"? Nice. Maybe I will throw the next K race to you. Or win it with my NCS tribute sock.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of Jerry Garcia. I assume that paigow was talking about all of the Grateful Dead (and other Garcia music and interviews) that was played non-stop yesterday on the hippie radio stations.

Glad you're back. I have some questions-
How come even though you get say 10 pieces of sashimi you'll be given 1 shiso leaf? Is it impolite to tear it in half and eat it with two pieces? If it best to eat with the first piece you eat? The last?
Should it be for the stronger flavored fish? The milder? Can one ask for more without offending the Itamae?

http://www.thesushibar.com/shisolarge.jpg

Do the answers depend on the School where the Itamae studied?

Thank you, NotBob. This forum has so addled my already-shaky brain function, that I think only of Jerry Seinfeld when the name "Jerry" is mentioned.

I don't understand your problem. The ex-secretary is crazy, right. The ex-secretary has been fired. What are you worried about? A situation of your word against hers? What's the worst she can do? Call someone and say she saw you with the summer? Everything she says will be taken as the bitter ramblings of a crazy she-male secretary who got sacked, including the truth.

Crazy ex-sec could probably call his wife and make his life unpleasant from that side (rather than the golden handcuffs side). That also might be harder to explain away, if one were so inclined.

I would have to disagree. I had an acquaintance who lost a seven figure job and saw his marriage ended over a series of events beginning with a sexual harassment suit by an ex-employee with whom he, admittedly, had an affair.

And I am not referencing Clinton or the former democrat Governor of New Jersey here).

The wrath of a woman scorned can be brutal.

My pleasure.

I can't take too much credit, though. Since paigow has "upper-crust Deadhead" listed in her FB curriculum vitae, and since the old stoner who has the morning drive-time shift on the Sirius folk station was telling endless stories about playing in the opening act for the Dead's 1971 tour, I simply put 2 and 2 together.

I have seen that also. BUT, if you can do exactly as TM says - bold faced lie and say "that ex sec is crazy", and take on all allegations with absolute denials and take offense at even being accused of impropriety or having your personal life examined - you can easily beat the Ex Sec. The problem is whether the Summer will go along with the lie. If she can’t be depended on, you can’t take TM’s prescribed course of action.

I'd generally agree. I don't remember doing anything particularly useful that last year, and certainly not anything that I couldn't have picked up later on down the line.

Continuing the boobie discussion of the other thread: I was reading your view on the braless look this morning, and, eerily, for the first time (perhaps ever?), I didn't wear a bra to work today. Undergarment - yes. Bra - no. I don't think you'd be able to get any hints, though, about actual boobal appearance with what I'm wearing.

Today on the Today Show (which I watch so that you don't have to):

1. Lester Holt (sitting in for the vacationing Matt Lauer) said "bold n' brazen". I wasn't paying attention to the story but is there more than one Bold n Brazn?

2. Katie Couric used the phrase "Iraq and a hard place". LOL. Good one Katie.

http://www.strangepolitics.com/images/content/819.jpg

3. Natalee Holloway's parents. If I was Natalee Hollaway's parents I would just hire a couple of the more thuggish searchers to "detain" those two brothers and "get them to talk". I would bet in a dark room with a cattle prods shoved up their asses and gun barrels in their mouths they might break, no? (I say this not as an endorsement of lawlessness, but only because I think the laws in Aruba are different than here and might allow this type of private action. Ymmv).

I agree. Of course bold-faced lying is a dying art, and don't even get me started on lying under oath. We are down, but kids today are weak. You know who I blame.

There were a lot of words in that article......how do they distinguish it from the first two years?

What I found interesting is:

Quote:

University of Chicago Law Dean Saul Levmore says students there are more likely to suggest adding a fourth year than dropping the third.
Hmmmm, hey douchbagg, how about just suggesting charging an "exit fee" of $20K at the end of the third year? The baseless sense of self-importance in this profession is nauseating. I quit.

If you can swing that look, it looks good. Lose the jacket. But then you might get more attention from the cats who sit around you than you want.

Undergarment other than a bra? One of those sheer things (I don’t know what they’re called)?

All women who can should do the braless thing regularly. I am sick of the push up bras and cleavage enhancers. If you are large breasted and must wear a bra, I understand. But if they’re pert and stand on their own, why wear something you don’t need?

I was at a party over the weekend talking to a friend. She asked me whether she looked good in some dress and I complimented her on having gone braless. She said, somewhat perturbed, “I AM wearing a bra... Do they hang that much?” I didn’t know what to say. I just gave her some crap line like “Well, no, they’re just so big.” I may have to discontinue my breast commentary. Seems to get me into trouble.

I'm not wearing a jacket. Sweater - relatively thick knit, and loose-fitting. I can't lose it, or I'd be sitting here in only my undergarment, and that would be chilly. Last week, I wore a thinner-knit sweater, and discovered that I was sporting the headlight look (thanks to the cold). I was mortified, and spent the rest of the day in my office, or with my arms folded, hoping nobody noticed.

I just accidentally stumbled upon the braless thing. Long story, but the punchline is I was somewhere where the only clean clothes I had were white shirts, but I had only dark-colored bras, so I just went without. I may never go back.

I am a little concerned about the sag factor, however. Meh.

I did a speaking engagement at a law school a year ago on becoming a lawyer. I proceeded to advise the auditorium that they were fucked and ought to either go into high end plaintiff’s work or transactional work, which would allow them to transition in house later and get the fuck away from the traditional firm litigator/service partner life, which is a shit existence. I then explained how they’ll be worked senseless and dumped when the partners deem their salary too high, and that unless they have business, they’ll be wage slaves forever.

Before the horrified faculty could drag me from stage, I managed to say “some folks call this a storied profession - they wind up teaching. It’s a business, and the sooner you learn that, the better you’ll do. If came into this looking to make it a life, you’re doomed.”

I was told by a faculty member outside that my candor was not appreciated. But an adjunct just stood there with tears in his eyes, giggling.

I have not, and will not, be asked back.

Unless your boobs are huge and gravity is a significant factor, the sag factor depends more on the muscles behind the boobs that support them, than on whether you wear a bra or not. Or so my doctor told me when I asked her. I go without a bra whenever I can.
