"November Rain" was playing at the gym this morning. It is now stuck in my head.

In other news, apparently Aeon Flux isn't getting advance screening for the movie reviewers. Doesn't really bode well for Ms. Theron's film, though I can't imagine that many people will be going for the quality of film. We saw the preview before Harry Potter, and it looked cool, though the plot seemed fairly irrelevant.

I think it takes a tortured reading to see Sublime's "Wrong Way" as a song about anal sex. The "two brown eyes" refer to her actual eyes on her face, as the next line makes clear, "ruins the makeup she never wanted."

Although come to think of it, the line "believe me shit was tight/it was the wrong way" does present room for argument.

In no particular order:
[list=1][*]The thermostat at the offices of Not Bob & Associates, LLP is under lock and key (seriously -- it's in a little lucite case that has a small Master lock) in my personal office. Fenwick's secretary Earlene has her desk right under an A/C vent, so her hot flashes (for which, she reminds me, she is entitled to "reasonable accomodation") are managed. I bought Ted the paralegal a space heater for his cube, and he keeps it on high all day. Fenwick swears that he saw it rain inside the office once at the spot where the cold air bounces off of Earlene into the thermal draft from Ted's heater.
[*]If I had a nickel for every time a plaintiff's lawyer said "in my [20/30/50] years of practice, Judge, I've never seen such [abuse of discovery/egregious conduct/a hot court reporter] -- it's shocking!" I'd have, well, a bunch of nickels. Fenwick is going to have MacGillicuddy say something like "in both my years of practice" at the next hearing in this case.
[*]I had an argument with a law school classmate about the best kind of clients. He likes doctors who dabble in business dealings -- they have the money to pay their bills, but because they think that they are smarter than they are, they avoid getting a lawyer up front, so when the deal goes bad and fingers are pointed and shouts of "fraud!" fill the air, and they get a lawyer, it's so fucked up that it requires a ton of billable work. I told him that I prefer large companies that are used to litigation, and don't take lawsuits personally.
[*]The Bruins traded Joe Thorton? WTF?[/list=1]

Let me just say that the marketing campaign is somewhat misleading . . . I think one of the TV ads says "She was the government's top agent." Well, I've seen the TV show, read the spin-off graphic novel-type guide, read the screenplay, and seen the fucking movie. Nowhere does it ever say that she ever worked for the government of Bregna. She's a member of the Monican resistance [SPOILER]










At least, she is up through the first 30 minutes of the movie.

Doctors are the worst. It might be true they get in trouble, but the ones I've worked with also think they can tell you how to fix it- plus they were cheap.

Duh. Whose name is on the coffee cups and fridge magnets?

I love hot court reporters.

Interesting. At my gym this morning, it sounded a lot like Axl Rose was singing Wild World. I did not know that he covered that song. In any event, I kind of liked the version.

I always thought I wanna be your dog was about anal. Notwithstanding the "face to face" lyric.

Axel redux
 

I didn't know that, either. But it would be pretty amusing if Axl were to become a muslim cleric.

Buttsex
 

I've always thought "You are 16 going on 17" had a pretty strong anal subtext. Especially relevant now that the anal is an accepted way for high school girls to maintain their virginity.

I bet it was the Mr Big version. You may ask (a) who is Mr Big? and/or (b) how would ncs possibly know of anything Mr Big does, as it is completely not her genre of music?

(a) ok, I'm not really totally sure, but some sort of 80s hair act, I think.

(b) it/they are a huge favorite of Mr Man's (maybe he should have chosen that name as a moniker?) and, coincidentally, he had them playing on the iPod when I came up to bed the other night (2 or 3 nights ago) and instead of turning them off, I just turned the volume down, so as I was laying there, trying to fall asleep, that version of Wild World came on and I thought "hmm, I did not know that they covered that song."

Clearly the universe was, once again, trying to push gwnc and I together. How long can we continue to ignore these signs?

Buttsex
 

The Sound of Music is riddled with anal sex references. I can't believe no one has mentioned "Raindrops on roses and penises in buttholes, these are a few of my favorite things".

Axel redux
 

Hmm. I am familiar with Mr. Big. They did some other song that I can't remember the title of. This song had Axl-like yowling in it, so I think it's not the Mr. Big version.

What do you do with a BA in English?
 

We get the occasional hot court reporter, if we're litigators.

Doctors get smoking hot former-cheerleader drug reps coming to visit them every day.

Okay. I bow to your superior knowledge of all things hair band. And, now that I think about it, it might have been a cover of Father and Son. One of those Cat Stevens songs. I'll check the iPod tonight.

I've never had any other sort of client. I have a gift for talking with physicians and making them think that my idea is their idea. And for all they bitch about insurance companies' lack of compliance with prompt pay laws (did ya'll see all those lawsuits filed this week?), they're not really keen on the concept when dealing with their lawyers.

Don't even get me started on "The Lonely Goatherd."

And, now that I think about it, the answer to "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" is rather obvious. Anal!

Apropos of nothing, earlier today I sent fringey a PM with "eager young lads, and roues and cads" as the re line.

What do you do with a BA in English?
 

I think I would agree with you, but on the transactional side. Doctors are a pain in the ass because they always expect you to get whatever they want/need done NOW and they are the slowest payers in the world.

Climb every mountain, indeed.

Best hope Mrs. NotBob doesn't find out.

Yes, but what is their favorite anal sex song?

Buttsex
 

Indeed.

What do you do with a BA in English?
 

"Moon River." (See "Fletch.")

RT's friend also forgot "Let My Love Open the Door" by Pete Townsend.

You work with Doctors on Doctor stuff. Arrogance there would be more acceptable, I think, than arrogance over say patent law.

What do you do with a BA in English?
 

What about the entire body of work by the Butthole Surfers. I do like the name of one of their albums "A Brown Reason to Live."

What do you do with a BA in English?
 

I Sit On Acid was the first song that came to mind, but it's on the list. Others I can think of include "Pump Up the Booty" (I forget the "artist"), "Backdoor Man" by the Doors, and "A Little Respect" by Erasure. In the holiday spirit, some friends and I wrote "I Fucked Santa Up the Ass" in college, but we never recorded it, so I'm not sure that it is list-worthy.

Otherwise known as The. Gayest. Song. Ever.

It makes me want to be a flaming gay man. So catchy.

What do you do with a BA in English?
 

I'm not sure, but I know Mr. Big covers it.

Mr Man has informed me that the Mr Big cover was Wild World. I know the suspense must have been killing you.

Edited because I reread the intial post. Dios mio. I can still feel the breeze.

I wondered about that "I", but not enough to look up the grammar rule or try to figure it out. Go ahead and take away my timmy card if you must. I understand.

Ncs and I have a very under-the-radar internet gf relationship. It's verrrrrry special.
