Re: Towards A Virtual Williamsburg!
 

I imagine the GC of Virgin America has to put up at cocktail parties with drunken louts who want to tell him that airlines suck these days because Delta keeps losing his luggage. The difference is everyone knows the lout is a moron, but people keep posting stories about some fucking vice principal strip searching a nine year old in Bumbfuck, Arkansas as "evidence" that "the public schools" are run by idiots.

Which in a way they are, because they keep producing shithead libertarians at a pretty constant rate.

"How can you defend this incompetence" is a question I never get asked in real life, because real life doesn't have pat answers. You'd think a guy who represents insurers would be more circumspect in playing the "Your clients suck" game. Meanwhile, "my clients" make his entire job possible. I would prefer he just say "Thank you" and went on his way.

just extrapolating from Penske's pms, but I don't think the GC of Virgin is at cocktail parties with people who fly commercial.

It grows on you. Sort of like diaper rash. But it grows on you.

The Wire and Breaking Bad are top 2 in my opinion.

Completely agreed on the excess of shite here. I suspect Atticus is a pretty damn good civil servant, and he is right that I'll take my local government over my friendly insurance company for both customer service and thoughtful product design any day of the week.

Still, doesn't his penchant for being handcuffed to a radiator while a female cop works him over with her billy club suggest an unhealthy attitude toward authority? Is that what his people really deserve?

If I recall. They actually legitimately misplaced it. I remember the scene when they were tearing about a cruiser to find it to turn in.

I wouldn't, but he was a drug addict which some would define as bad. And he'd call himself bad for Johnny's death.

You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?
 

Nicely done.

Anywhoo, I did not know that Less and Atticus did not like each other until this morning. Wow.

Confidential note to Hank: This is a picture of John Joseph "Jack" Nicholson (born April 22, 1937), an American actor, film director, producer, and writer. The picture is of him in one of his roles, Colonel Nathan Jessup in "A Few Good Men."

"A Few Good Men" is a 1992 American drama film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. It was adapted for the screen by Aaron Sorkin from his play of the same name. A courtroom drama, the film revolves around the court martial of two U.S. Marines charged with the murder of a fellow Marine and the tribulations of their lawyer as he prepares a case to defend his clients. The re line comes from the movie.

Whiff, original definition.

And listen, you are supposed to be the one who tells people to stop being mean to socks, but you really dropped the ball last night, and I had to pick up the slack. Being supportive and telling people to play nice hardly fits within my persona's character sketch.

You've become the Linsey Lohan of this board. Get it together.

No I think in a later scene they just kept some. After all the hassle they went through when some $ just fell in a pocket of the trunk, they figured what the heck.

I'll ask Herc next time I see him at the gym.

I thought we were doing the Friday thing. If we weren't, I've got bigger problems being on these boards than I realized. Anyone know if it was Friday on Lester's side of the International Date Line? {gulp}

Re: You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?
 

You've become the board's Zsa Zsa Gabor. People wonder how/why you hang on.

I don't know if I would go so far as to say that people who don't vote deserve corrupt and incompetent government, but I would say they are not really entitled to bitch about it. If the only voters are the ones with vested interests, then the apathetic can't really be taken seriously when they whine that their concerns aren't being addressed.

It's not pabulum. It's just a stupid, shitty show.

Twas. Me too. Y'all have become flame-sensative pussies.
