And I thought I was the only one bored silly by all this.

p.s. Is anyone or does anyone know an attorney in Hidalgo county, TX with a state court practice, BTW? If so, please PM me - I have questions about a court.

It's Friday afternoon before a long weekend and I'm bored out of my mind. Can't someone get into a fight or post about their out of town depositions or something??

I'm sorry, I thought Atticus covered this. Knives would be good.

Screw you, bitch!

-T(how's that?)L

Getting there...

hehehe edited to add that that was for Sparkle, not Ty - but either way, maybe it will spice it up here. ;)

edited again to add - how the hell did I just do that?

Yeah - board is slow today.

I can't think of anything interesting to talk about. Though, this is nothing new for me.

Anyone going to see that dumb Jim Carey movie that opens this weekend? What are your memorial day plans?

Does anyone live in a city that regularly hosts the Superbowl? I'm involved in a number of organizations that are thinking about planning events for that week, and I'm looking to figure out what sorts of things will be going on during that week throughout the city. A friend of mine is organizing the Coca Cola event, and that thing looks like it's going to be pretty damned huge. I was brainstorming with the director of one of the organizations that I am involved in at lunch, and I think that we could throw a pretty fun fundraising event to coincide with the weekend, but I wanted to make sure that people wouldn't be distracted with the influx of out-of-town type events.

I would rather chew glass. If gravity stopped working for Jim Carrey and he flew off the face of the Earth, never to be seen again, I, for one, would be much happier.

(a) No. Maybe video if Mr. Lex insists.

(b) Sleeping, eating, and sitting here at the desk - just got a new client who dropped a big retainer. And bills go out next week - of course. When you actually get to keep the money the bills bring in, it becomes MUCH more fun to send them out. Oh and maybe some shopping for bigger clothes - I've been wearing the welcome out of the same two pairs of khakis lately. Oh, and bigger bras.

I'm hoping to stay home and avoid (a) traffic (b) Mr. Lex whining about why he doesn't have tickets (c) the drunk guys in traffic furthering the traffic problems to the point that the entire city comes to a standstill.

The ESPN page for all things Annika is titled "Annika's hole-by-hole results." I think this would make an excellent title for the next installment of Swedish Erotica.

I'm sorry, Smiley foreplay doesn't cut it...

Agreed. How this man continues to get scripts is beyond me.

Hey, I'll take what I can get.

Disclaimer: I am not in a CTRHtSB, but my family has done fundraisers and events at those and the final four, etc.

Your success will depend on your target audience and type of event. Are you aiming to attract out-of-town people or local people?

There are a lot of parties and a lot of people clamoring for attention, so you need a fantastic hook to get people to pick you. It also helps if you have a very famous athlete involved. You could also partner with a group reknowned for their functions -- then people will show because they recognize the promoter, dj, club, pr link, etc.

E/O

Edited to add: semi-famous athletes will show up if you pay their appearance fee. Unless you are friends with the very famous athlete, you might end up having to pay em, too.

Steve-O from Jackass is sitting (and shitting) in a Swedish jail after telling a local newspaper that he had swallowed a weed-filled condom before entering the country. No one ever accused Steve-O of being terribly bright, I suppose.

You are so right, Ty. How this moron still commands a hefty paycheck is beyond my comprehension. Dead bodies on the CSI/CSI:Miami shows act better than Jimbo.

I see I have competition for Ty's scaly, green body.:drool:

Apropos of the current golfing discussion, I'm not sure how many of you saw the story in the NYT about the kid who made a video of himself doing star wars, lightsaber-like moves with a golf ball retriever. Apparently, the video spread all over the internet and give many people a good laugh at the price of the kid's humiliation.

Well, a guy who runs the website www.waxy.org (a tech-focused weblog) decide to take up a donation for his fellow "geek" and ened up raising over $4,000 for the kid. That should take a bit of the sting out of his humiliation. I guess the kid gets the last laugh.

At any rate, if you're up for a chuckle, you can view the Jedi Remix Video and the Original Unedited Video on our site. They are pretty funny. There's a bit of sound, but it's not too loud. Still, consider yourself warned.

Here's a poll: which one is funnier, the edited version or the original?

I don't want to sway your answer, but I'd say the unedited is funnier.

Of Golf and Star Wars
 

The original is much funnier. Poor kid. I think he even showed a little butt crack at one point. The dance-like moves are hilarious.

I sincerely hope he invests part of that money in a high-end hooker.

Of Golf and Star Wars
 

But the edited is better. The raw footage goes on to long and is just a kid fiddling around. The edited make a point (of some sort).

Either way, this prompts me to start another poll:

Which is more dangerous to have in the house: A video camera or a gun?

All evidence of late is on the former.

Remember the days, back before gonzo porn, back before the dark bros., when Swedish Erotica was hardcore?

Memories, may be beautiful but yet......

Of Golf and Star Wars
 

I feel for that kid. What bastards those other kids were to put that online. Who hasn't made an ass of himself one time or another playing air guitar or playing with a golf club or what have you.

But, I'd still say a gun. Kid fucks around with a gun, the damage is a little more permanent.

A good followup is who ever had another kid pull out a gun when they were kids?

I did, my neighbor had his dad's gun when I was about 13. I told him to put it away. He said it isn't loaded. I reminded him he had thought it wasn't loaded the time he told me he shot a hole in the tv set. He put it away.

Make that the threesome! NTTAWWT!.

I never had this happen, but a good friend of Mr. Kiss' (and consequently a friend of mine) spent much of his late teens (and maybe early 20s? I'm not sure) in jail after he shot his best friend in the head (and killed him) after getting into a fight at a high school party.

Leagl, you knew ELVIS???

On another note -- See what I mean?? There's a Jim Carrey-hating orgy starting and you could be making money off of it!! ;)

Yes, but not as lasting.

I think that parents/friends/relatives would find it quite lasting.

Is he required to walk through a metal detector before entering your house? Or do you try really hard not to piss him off?

n(okay, maybe, just maybe, he learned some sort of valuable lesson and won't do it again... seems like a pretty serious juvenile mistake, however)cs

You know, I think his name was Larry. I wonder if he is out there somewhere. Larry are you out there?

1. Jim Carrey is annoying, as are his movies.

2. I prefer the unedited version. Anyone see Parkinson on BBC America when he interviewed Samuel L. Jackson? He talks about filing the fight scenes in Star Wars. Apparently he was in a big green room and fighting imaginary monsters.

3. I've never seen a gun anywhere but on TV or in a cop's holster. (I've now jinxed myself and will probably see one as I walk home through the kinda-scary-but-relatively-safe-neighborhood tonight.)

My dad had shotguns and we were put in gun safety classes the second that he thought that we could recognize them. He hid them fairly well, and I think he did a good job of demonstrating that you NEVER point any gun, loaded or unloaded towards another person. It still bothers me in movies and TV when people act irresponsibly around firearms.

Guns were never pulled on me as a kid, but when I was in law school, I was driving home one night, and the car next to me pulled out a gun and started firing at the car in front of me. The car in front of me returned fire. It took me awhile to figure out what the noise was (I thought something mechanical had happened to the car), and when I realized what was going on, I just stopped on the freeway and let them go ahead of me. My hands were shaking all the way home.

Actually, before I learned this he was among my favorites of the Kiss club. He is very polite and chivalrous and extermely mild mannered. Now that I know I try not to let it matter and for the most part it doesn't bother me. I know he still is tormented by this.

He was high on a bunch of stuff when this happened. Which is yet another reason not to use drugs. Unless the drug is small and blue, in which case it is okay.

I've fired a Glock. My ex bought it when we were living next to some drug dealers, so we went to a range and I shot it. Hated it and hate guns in general and feared that if someone ever broke in, they would wrestle the gun away from me and shoot it, etc., so I convinced him to sell the gun and use the proceeds to buy a cute and cuddly puppy to protect me.

With a V?

Yes, I would assume a thing like that would torment a person for the rest of his/her life. It's the people who aren't tormented that you REALLY need to steer clear of...

Poor kid. The original is much funnier. But he'll go down in history as the only film actor associated with Episodes I/II/III whose performance was not heavily dependent on CGI.

Unsurprising: A bridesmaid has finally sued Vera Wang.
