Is the money returned upon departure? Is it like being a limited partner?

This post was going so well until you hit the part about the fuzzy, mold-growing, bulbous, clay things.

I would reconsider the analogy.

My stepdaughter is slightly prone to drama. She will fall down at the slightest provocation and pretend as though she's been mortally wounded.

I tell her she's acting like a European soccer player. She doesn't get it, but I laugh and laugh...

I think the post will be more appealing to men if you compare your ever-growing breasts to something other than Chia Pets.

Re: instead of plating other shit they probably complained to god about the dead pota
 

Same thing happens when I make marijuana jokes to my daughter! Blank expression from her, but oh, how I laugh.



Because I am really high at the time.

I told my daughter I was going to start treating her like I was a soccer player from New Mexico. She didn't get it either, but oh how I laughed.

Re: instead of plating other shit they probably complained to god about the dead pota
 

Hmmm. Do Chia Pets leak?

Re: instead of plating other shit they probably complained to god about the dead pota
 

You win. You're "I'm going to pull my daughter to the ground by her pony tail" post was far edgier than my "I make pot jokes to my daughter" post. Flinty now likes you better and the girls thing you are a mysterious and dangerous "bad boy" type, which they of course love, even though they know better. As for me, I will be reviled as a pathetic aging stoner and bad parent, which basically puts me a half step ahead of Hank. At least that handsome Pirate dude has my back.

I wasn't really trying to appeal to men. It's hard to see how it could be appealing - given that my boobs border on the freakish. The Chia Pets are the image that came to mind. I've never seen one in real life, just on the Ronco commercial (or whatever it is), and they seem to inflate before your eyes!

Maybe like two balloons being blown up?

Re: Nwtf
 

The article say that afte rht econtribution they will be "fixed share" partners, which implies that they are buying-in equity and--quite possibly--taking a pay cut.

Re: instead of plating other shit they probably complained to god about the dead pota
 

Flinty already liked me better, but that's because I fed him odd cuts of meat.

Re: Nwtf
 

Presumably that's on top of whatever payments they've been making to buy in, right? They're only hitting the non-equity partners. They're not hitting the associates who are up but who haven't made it yet.

What's to understand? It's just another way of being able to charge more money by naming someone partner, without having to pay that person what a partner actually makes.

I wouldn't necessarily read that into the "fixed share" title. I took that as a euphemism for how they'll be paid -- i.e., they'll continue to make a fixed salary, even if the firm has a boom year.

These titles are going the way of airline terminology. "Non-stop" means the plane lands 3 times between takeoff and final destination, but you don't get off unless the TSA says you should.
