This kid is kinda scary.

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

It was scarier when TM posted it. Scariest when Coach K squeed.

Sorry, Ollie
 

Nike crosses the line from everyday villainy to cartoonish supervillainy.

Re: Sorry, Ollie
 

I had to wonder for a second about whether that was the "light and sound show" at Giza.

By the way, if you find yourself in Cairo, the light and sound show at Giza is not worth a separate ride out there.

Re: Sorry, Ollie
 

Thanks, Uncle Phil!

And since Flinty doesn't dig the power ballad, how about some goofy white kids and an autotuner?

Hi!

Indeed, lame....

I was going over the wine list with the Sommelier on my flight, sorry to miss it.

Also, congrats to BnB on that thing. FYI, everyone says never again....wait a couple of days and you will be plotting the next...

Shit, in my neighborhood the good b-ball players were dunking by his age.

Black eye
 

No, I was not in a fight and there was no actual injury to my eye. I hit the part of my forehead directly above the eye on a table. The purpley-black eye showed up days later and does not hurt but I am wondering if there is any way to minimize? Other than makeup. At least I finally have a visible injury.

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

Ne. Ver.

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

Uhm,,,,I'd don't speak Dutch. Sorry. :o:)

Re: Black eye
 

too late but ice would have reduced purplish and swelling

then makeup.

Re: Black eye
 

At the time, I iced my forehead but eye area didn't hurt and icing the closed eye does hurt. There's no puffiness -- could it be worse?

Re: Black eye
 

Oh, most certainly it could be worse. If there's no swelling around your eye, the purpleness is probably just drainage from the injury above due to gravity--I once got an alarmingly purple foot after an ankle injury.

The Law School Lottery
 

There is no way I'd go to law school if I were young and starting out right now (and that's not even considering what I know now about the profession). http://finance.yahoo.com/college-edu...uing_education

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

Even if you could go on someone else's nickel? Because that's been my advice for a long time--if you can get someone else to pay for most/all of it (and they wouldn't just give you the cash instead) and you can get into a good enough school, then fine. Otherwise, no way.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

You and I live in different worlds, as this never even occurred to me. I suppose I would accept $150k to $250k if someone was just going to hand it to me, yes.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

once you see kids going to college that you think you need to advise what they might study (they may not want your advice of course) you may find that there aren't clear "good" paths (I hope by the time you get to that point some clear paths are there). then when they graduate with a degree in ___ they have limited options. LS is still default as something that might be okay in 3 years.

I mean a kid has to do something, they can't just say No and there are few, if any, clear solid options right now.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

There are scholarships at many, many LS. Not that I got one, nor was I having someone else pay for me, tho you and I both know many whose parents were (and it looks like Hank may be adding to the count of those we "know").

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

What would you do instead?

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

I love me some PowerPoint.

That is all.

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

Then go read Jennifer Egan's book.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

I'm sending this article to my cousin's kid who wants to go to law school despite several big red flags (middling undergrad grades, poor LSAT scores over 3 attempts, can only get into the area night law school, doesn't have a lot of drive).

He could surprise everyone and have a knack for the law but I wouldn't go into huge debt on the chance this might happen. When he got out of college, I told him to get a job -- any job -- in a law firm so he can see what practicing law is really like but he didn't take that advice so I don't expect him to take the "don't go to law school" advice either.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

Absofuckinglutely. Unless you are paying for HLS.

I had a chance to go to a 2d tier LS for free. Turns out they tought you how to hit the ground running, tune in the police scanner and shove a retainer in someone's face just like the education I paid 90k for.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

The one consistent thing I see about people who go to law school is that they all seem to ask for advice but never take it.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

Quoted for truth.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

I've managed to talk two out of it. One, to my great surprise, dropped out after the first semester. I know several people who hated it the second they got there, but for some stupid pride reason decided to stick it through to the end. They are now miserable lawyers.

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

I really like The Keep, but haven't picked up the new one yet.

Re: Lamest k race win ever
 

FWIW, I got this recently. Haven't started it yet, but it's sitting on my (digital) shelf.

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

When I briefly taught first-years, I tried talking a few people into dropping out. Didn't work....

Re: The Law School Lottery
 

my wife and I were both quasi-judicial officials in the US Dept of commerce in a job that covered about 70% of LS tuition. there was huge peer pressure to go to LS.

she got the LSAt application but realized somewhere in the course of completing it she had no desire to go to LS. Quite impressive to realize at that point I thought.

Because I definitely choose breadsticks.

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

Dude. That totally undermines my image of you.

Also, I can't recall if I have commented, but it is strange to me that downtown Minneapolis apparently has a lot of places with free unlimited breadsticks with the purchase of a soup or salad. I see people who otherwise ordered a healthy lunch with a pile of 8 greasy breadsticks and just shake my head (hi, Hank!).

But it sounds like maybe you'd like it.

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

Seriously?

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

You like soft breadsticks? Yes, you are old.

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

sure. that is the smart move at your age, but as you get closer to death a "lifetime supply" decreases in value, especially as you diet starts getting more gruelish. ONTH forcing some young woman into 48 hours of sex becomes of lesser value (1 hour is probably enough for any two day period) and the guilt from what you'd be inflciting on her grows exponentially.

(and wonk, when you wonk through here, what proceeded my answer was three whiffs- and yes they were)

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

Sex for 48 hours with anyone I want (and for the record, I choose her:

http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/...pg?w=500&h=338

http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/...pg?w=500&h=267

because she probably has the best body I've ever seen) would be awesome, but warm, fresh breadsticks for life? Come on. I judge every restaurant I go to based on whether or not they have warm, fresh, delicious breadsticks. And if there is an olive option and a sourdough option, forget it. Automatic customer for life.

The only time I ever went to Olive Garden was junior or senior year of college. (Big splurge after a major blackjack win at Mystic Lake.) Went to Marie Callendars after for the french silk pie. Minnesotans are fat.

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

and this makes the other point that getting to a pick would take endless hours of internet searching, with no real end point, and also raises the problem that once you have decided on a "target (hi Sidd!)" she might have gained weight since the picture was snapped and meanwhile you keep getting older through the process of trying to make the right decision.

is the choice transferable, because I'm starting to think the best bet would be to sell the rights?

Re: Yep, I'm officially old
 

She's a little muscley in the arms for my taste.

I do not recall the last time I ate a breadstick.

I always forget about your Minnesota connection. But yeah, most Americans are. It might be the breadsticks.
