Oh, NUTS!

Leave it on the squirrel, missy. It's even nicer that way, and we like to cuddle.

LL Bean probably has them too.

Both of these may be too prole for you. Williams Sonoma home may have some, but their on-line catalog is a pain in the ass so you can go look yourself.
LLBean has no grey, and Lands End is sold out of the light grey (dark is too dark) in the king size. I'll try WS though. Thanks

I'm kinda into bedding.

Razor blades are a fucking scam. $12 for four blades? I'm lucky to get 10 shaves out of one blade, and I don't have a thick beard. Someone bought me one of those Gilette M3 Power razors (whichever one that vibrates). It works fine. Nothing spectacular. When I travel, I use two-blade Gilette disposables, a package of 12 of which you can get for $10, and there really isn't much of a difference b/w the disposables and the M3 Power (except that the M3 blades are more than triple the price of a disposable razor).

How much closer does 2 or 3 blades shave than 1?

How long does it take your beard to grow that marginal difference?

I'm betting 2 blades buy you about an hour of additional "clean shave" and the 3rd gets you like 5 more minutes.

My random thoughts:


Boy, some of those people auditioning were really bad. Don't they realize they can't sing? Some of them were sort of funny, though. I think some of them might have been gay.

Some of the people auditioning were pretty good. I wonder if one of them will be the next American Idol?

Instead, I was pointing out how pathetic it is that, absent my spelling out the issues that I know he already understands and mocking the thought processes that allow him to post what he posts, he will continue to build the "all DAs are evil bastards who gleefully prosecute the innocent" strawmen and then bravely knock them down out of some instinctual need to defend our criminal justice system and the prosecutors who serve it.

It is absolutely pathetic that I had to spell this out to you in this level of detail.

Question(s) for Bay Area GA's
 
Quote:

Originally posted by notcasesensitive
1. How much of a pain would it be to get from the Oakland airport into SF on a Friday afternoon (either just before rush hour or, god forbid, during rush hour)? It seems that Oakland is the only place Southwest flies in the area - is this correct? If so, do people still fly Southwest or do they pay the extra $100 for American or United? How convenient is the SF airport for downtown SF?
45 minutes by car/taxi barring a real foul-up on the Bay Bridge. Same by BART. Yes, as to Oakland being your only choice on Southwest. I fly SWA, but: (1) I work on the Oakland side of the Bay Bridge; (2) it is much cheaper/more convenient if one is driving one's own car; and (3) it is smaller. SFO is probably 15 minutes more convenient to downtown SF than Oakland, but far less likely to have a traffic foul-up on the Bay Bridge and much cheaper in a cab. Also, BART now goes to SFO - 30 minutes to downtown for $5.

Quote:

2. Where close to the business district of SF should a person stay? Any good Starwood joints? W? Westin? Or any boutiques the person should try instead? Assume the person lacks the budget for the Mandarin Oriental. Assume also that the person's business will be paying for one night and the person and his or her companion might just stay for a second night and foot the bill (or use Starwood points!) themselves.
Others have answered this better than I because I don't stay in hotels here.

3. How bad is the SF weather in late February? Need for an umbrella? Coat?
Possibly (one never knows), and yes.

you know the town where the Power Rangers live? why would anyone live there? every week different massive monsters or robots come and break dozens of buildings- I know I should "suspend disbelief", but there's a limit.

Every so often I ponder the phenomena that was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. How did that idea ever make it? It is beyond preposterous. Also, turtles are really SLOW and totally not ninja like. Moreover, ninjas don't strike me as particularly artistic. I never watched the show and I know basically nothing about these things, but what was mutant about them? And were they young teens? Older teens?

Shave every three days or when you have to go to court. Problem solved. I get three weeks out of my Sensors.

I use an electric on the armpits and bikini area.

Oh! Oh! I know the answer to this one!

It is because everyone loves the benevolent Princess Shayla, who lives in the town with the Power Rangers and is kind to all.

Princess Shayla is my friend. Okay, okay, the actress who played Princess Shayla is my friend. Details. She is also quite a fan of the Texas Hold'em. And she won a bad beat jackpot, as previously discussed here.

This is my str8-esque submission for the day.

Oh, I agree a prosecutor should be forced to work both sides of the aisle. That would have a good effect on the douchebags who view prosecution as a "mission" and think all criminals should be worked over with jumper cables and blackjacks.

But the suggestion that PD work would make defense lawyers better at what they do doesn't hold much water. The best defense lawyers I saw were ex-prosecutors. Guys from the PD's offices could work a courtroom, but the complicated cases that involved complicated pre-trial motions and complex issue were beyond them. PDs are overworked and too often forced to wing a large part of their cases. If I were in the can and needed a ringer, I'd get myself an ex-AUSA.
