Lamest k race win ever

[Adder]

I stopped to ponder a familiar sounding name in an overheard conversation in the cafeteria. A half second later I realize that it's PLF and I'd best let it go.

Exciting story, eh?

I'm a proud two-spacer and I like the way it looks. Hell, I actually had a typewriting class in which I was told over and over again to use two spaces. I will never change. EVER! That guy can suck it. Twice.

Is it too late to point out that lots of dudes from Law & Order were Oz regulars? (The priest, JK Simmons, Ryan O'Reilly and of course, Elliot). Even the guy named Tobias (cannot remember his last name, but he was Elliot's lover for a while on Oz) was on a few episodes of L&O.

Well, it *could* have been a discussion had you been around, instead it was me associating Farmer's Insurance with a neo-nazi serving a life sentence. What do you have to do that's more important than contributing here?

ps: Beecher. And also several overlaps with Homicide. And you forgot another L&O:Spinoff lead--Kathryn Erbe. All tied together by Tom Fontana.

And generally they will either have cars that are way shittier than you rented or way nicer. Like you rent a Camry and get a Daewoo or you rent a Pontiac and get an Escalade.

They gave me a Hyundai Sonata that apparently uses no gas at all. And a Ford Fusion. I liked both cars, actually.

And the girls that "pick you up" at my local office are hot.

Online content is almost always changed to one. I still use two, though.

I mean there's the whole F. Supp., F.2d. alt.sex.fetish.feet things to think about and two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence tends to tell people that this period is a period different from all the others.

You complain about working in law, but you are writing stuff with alt.sex.fetish.feet? I think you've proven my point, that some people just can't be happy in any job.

Once I started into graphic design, I was converted into a single-spacer. Designers are just as certain, as a profession, that the rule is one space as lawyers are that it is two. I see Icky's point with respect to legal writing, but in most other contexts, one space flows better and reads better. And no ugly rivers in text!

It was the rule in typewriting class. When was the last time you used a typewriter?

If my car were to blow up tomorrow and I were to just buy a car to replace it, instead of doing the months of research (on blogs -- hi Hank!) and agonizing that I do, I would want a Hyundai Sonata Hybrid.

Typesetters are right about their rule because often their text is set in a narrow column where those rivers might appear. A brief has an unbroken 6.5 inch span of text on each line. The rule for typewriting class makes sense in its context, too. No one anticipated Internet text boxes. Good thing they invented find-and-replace 15 years before they invented AOL.

I don't think you can buy one yet. I too like it, and am in the market for a sedan that gets good mileage.

To replace the Z4? That must suck.

The (gas) Sonata is what I got from enterprise. Perhaps the 1/4 tank is what it came with from the factory but it seems not.

To me it's a totally indifferent car that's like every other rental--punchy when you tap the gas up to 7 mph, fairly floaty in turns at speed, light steering feel, grabby brakes at low speed that don't stop you very well from higher speeds. I would complain about the size and visibility, but cars seem bigger when you haven't gotten used to where the corners are, which I hope I won't have the time to do.
