LawTalkers - Know new taxes!

I've out of town for awhile and barely checking in.

Yesterday, I thought I'd catch up, but was so grossed out by the talk of rotting human flesh (which will never be admitted into a courtroom, sorry) that I had to stop.

Came back today, only to see this post, which gives me the indelible image of Penske (who I had the pleasure of meeting recently) sniffing his wife in order to see if she smelled different when pregnant.

Blech.

Carry on.

Thanks, and a pleasure here too. In deference to your constitution I will hold off on sending any videos of my sensoury prowess. nttawwt.

Because anyone participating in it, by definition, lacks a dick?*

*Note: I almost didn't post this, because I thought about how someone would respond to it..... saying that I was using "lacking a dick" to mean "bad," which is true, but implying that I meant being female is bad, which is not true.

And that made me sad. Because y'all know who that someone is. Godspeed, Fringey. You are in our hopes, thoughts, prayers, and so forth.

Thanks. BTW, what was that smell emanating from your table?

FWIW, I have never said anything, under my primary, on these boards or any other, that did not have a bare kernel of truth. or at least the potential for the same. Other than maybe some of the patentparanyc things in times past.

how would I know so much about dorm names then?

.

Rather than impersonate I prefer to think of it as breathing life into a fictional creature of the internets. Like off-broadway acting only more puerilistically pedestrian.

Either Less had rotting pork in his pocket or my wife was happy to see you. From the distance I was positioned at my non-caninesque sense of smell did not allow me to distinguish between the two possibilities.

1 i don't do wiki, and you know that.
2 why wouldn't i lie about living in the first listed dorm instead of the 5th or 6th?
3 I got dtb's older sister preggers at a party after the Yale game, so she knows i went there. her dad went to jail for coming after me with a shotgun.

Let that be a lesson, Hank. If you use a cover persona, keep it believable.

FWIW, just because I cribbed tasted notes about ice wine off of google did not mean i had never had any. In fact, in an off-line position, I was chatting up a comely young sommelier in Canada last weekend on the subject and ended up with her phone number, in no small part due to my perceived expertise in the ways of oenophilia. Platonically. nttawwt.
