What did I do?
 

Really?!?

My eye is twitching
 

Mine has stopped. Thanks for taking it over!!!

I'm sure I will have it back soon.

ETA and penske thanks for pointing out the (duh) reach-around for NFH. I mean, when it's MM, doesn't someone end up non-fucked? Or MFM?

I went to business school! I went to BU Law! I wore that horrible graduation gown. I was even student speaker at my class's graduation.

But for the record, that is not me.

Send pictures so that I can do a comparison.

No one worships penske for plated's work.

She's flat wrong to say Exemplar is the first firm to abandon the billable hour. There are plaintiff attorney shops that only work on contingency fees and some boutiques that only charge flat fees or retainers. And of course there is Wachtell.

And you still owe me $150. RT the money I owe the board for that Taxwonk bet,.... I'm assigning my Penske debt to lt. Get it from him, K?

No one worships plated either, but I hear plated has a little shrine to H.L. Mencken in his closet.

Meeeeeeeeemories...
 

I'd forgotten about the don't eat cows rant aimed at me while I was eating --- FISH. Ah, the good old days....

What did I do?
 

But you were happy with your height when the whipped cream came out!

Um...
 

How the fuck do you watch that pitch?

GA Nite Redux
 

I thought it was Bloom, but I get the point.

Meeeeeeeeemories...
 

Um...
 

How the fuck do you hit that pitch?

Um...
 

You sit on it and foul it off.

Um...
 

If you're sitting on it, you're not going hit anything else he throws.

Um...
 

Well they swung and didnt do shit the whole fucking game.

Um...
 

Presently the difference between the Yankee lineup and the met lineup. No Yankee would have struck out on that pitch or left the bases loaded w 1 out.

Except for maybe Arod.

But no Yankee would have thrown 6 innings of 1 run ball on 3 days rest a month after being a mop up guy.

Um...
 

I'm actually mortified that I was rooting for the Mets, but, in any event, Beltran comes off as A-Rod in this one (even though he singlehandedly won 2 for them earlier)

Um...
 

Posada maybe. Or Bernie.

Yankees got some unexpected gems out of guys like Karstens and Bruney. It was the big $$$ dogs like Johnson, Pedro that fucked both squads over in the end. And quiet bats. Rogers? Suppan? WT(friggin)F???


Sad loss. Especially for the those bastards who already bought $400 tickets in the secondary market.

How confident are you of the G-Men this week against the 'Boys?

To NCS
 

I am never confident of the Giants. They are incredibly inconsistent.

To NCS
 

I hear you.

I want to take them in my suicide pool. Which, if I do, is assured suicide.

Keep the gr8est hits coming. Some of us weren't around for much of 'em, so it's like, um, watching Memento, or something.

I probably get 10 PMs a day asking about my avatars. I thought it might be helpful to post some general rules I follow and also 1 specific issue I am now considering.

In general I like to change them every few days. i am always looking for new ideas. sometimes over dinner at a smart restaurant, a flash of genius will come and I'll say to the wife "mona lisa Hank," or something. Sometimes, perhaps due to the available images it won't work well. The ncs-hank or the Mona lisa Hank are examples.

I will of course go to holiday specific or timely newsy hanks.

Plus i like to go back the baseline at least every few weeks to keep the source in mind.

Here is what's odd- I get bad vibes when certain Hanks are up. The old lady (not bea) which is Hank's mom- when she is up no one gives my posts the love. I don't get that. I know why people hate the B&W Hitler-Hank, but it is technically and artistically the best Hank- and consider that the artist lost as many relatives to Hitler as most of you.

but the above is merely background for my current problem. For awhile when I had Ben Wallace Hank up the Pistons didn't lose. So he was up for all big games- wanna see the ring? But then he started to fade. By last year's playoffs I had resoted to Jesus-Hank, which worked for awhile, but then faded.

Anyway, I'm at a lose for a solid World Series choice. Maybe a Tiger would work- Ben W worked at first- but maybe it won't work.

Maybe dmitri Young hank? he was a Tiger but got kicked off, plus he has good hair. A Prophet mohammed Hank would offend, no?

I really need to put some thought into this, and any ideas are welcome.

This was quite funny. So on one hand, some HankAvatars [TM] give you a bad vibe, and on the other you feel they can be used for good, not evil and are some sort of good luck talisman for sports? Interesting take on the whole thing.

This makes no fucking sense. None. Go back and edit this moronic attempt at a sentence until you get something that is close to comprehensible.

Also, that blog? If that is what passes for funny at Yale, I can understand why Str8 was editor of the humor mag there.

Consider it done. Text as edited as set forth below.

Wow. What would I do without you to summarize Hank's posts for me?

I actually like knowing she isn't going to read this.

Why? Why? Why?

Will it somehow be better if you can understand it?

You know, it's really easy to go back to the early days of infirm and find stupid shit that slave posted (this is not a dig at slave in particular - there is a lot of stupid shit posted, but his stupid shit is the only stuff I use for that sock). It's a lot more difficult to find funny posts from that era for Pretty Little Flower. I toss down the gauntlet and urge you to create your own tribute sock for that purpose.

Why wouldn't she read it?

GA Nite Redux
 

That's YOUR sock?!!!! You are ballsy, Shape, I'll give you that.

Cranky
 

I've been working quite a bit, until year end it gets nuts. I'm a little edgy.

I am located next to an assoc who is an affable sort, a tad pompous and very self absorbed, pathologically [I feel] so.

My voice is really loud, it carries down the hall. [shocker I know] So of course, he confronted me about it, which is fine. I've modified my behavior to try to alleviate that annoyance.

So now I'm very quiet, and he is on the phone all day. Loud. For extended periods of time. Mostly talking about himself. It's wearing on me. I know that that is the way it is and sometimes, staff is treated like furniture but it annoys me. There is a ledge outside my space/office and he hangs out there to spread out as well. It makes me feel suffocated.

It is what it is but it annoys me. Fridays I'm a little fried. Stock response is: a.) deal with it b.) if you don't like it go to law school or c) STFU. or d.) all of the above. I know all this. I just don't have the capacity to soldier through and work all weekend as well.

Which translates to this: you are either shallow, or gullible, or both.

[Again, I leave for 2 1/2 hours - and there's close to 100 posts. Jeezsh!}

Have you tried a Big Happy Buddha Hank? Or in honor of the tigers, you could try a Montecore Hank.
