Kill it all. I don't save them and I've been assiduously deleting them in hopes the phantom will get the hint and leave.

E/O, I am stunned by what your post implies. It suggests that a poster should not publicize his (or her) peeves, because there's a risk that other posters might take note and then deliberately do annoying things.

The implications are too staggering to contemplate.

Tell him to go down to a banana republic (not the store) and smoke a lot of weed. Or go to Breckenridge and work for the mountain and smoke a lot of weed. Or backpack through Europe, stopping often in Amsterdam to smoke a lot of weed. Tell him to fuck off for an entire year while bartending and trying to set records for benders. Oh, and smoke a lot of weed.

Only posters who are hated by one or more people should be careful about the pet peeve thing. You and I are safe.

Just for some perspective, my parents (both shrinks) told me that if I ever become a shrink they will break my arms and legs. So I went to law school.

As it turns out, we can't all be game show hosts.

Hm. Maybe that was too cryptic. Some further explanation: I once read an article about a child prodigy who finished college at age 12 or some such. When asked what he wanted to do for a career, he said he wanted to be a game show host. So there it is.

Speaking of Trading Splaces ... I have a friend who is struck by the resemblance of the Duke Brothers with the guys in the balcony on the Muppet Show. He thought that maybe the Muppets were modeled after the Dukes, but the movie came out in '83 and the show premiered in '76 -- and I am assuming that the balcony guys were there early on. Maybe it's the other way around? Frank Oz did work on the movie.

Has anybody ever noticed this?

Despite her use of a sanrio moniker, h_k was not immature. As PLF will confirm, she knew irony. And BoP was discussing her new *brazilian* wax at a time well before it was a mainstream Thing To Do (ah, 1999!).

Alas, BoP. Sigh.

Wow. NB. I was Not Aware. Blush. Whenever I read your posts, I have the totally narcissitic tendency to picture myself in a black beehive with heavy kohl eyeliner and really jaunty psychedile scarves in my hair and around my neck. I am on a seventies game show filling in blanks with a blue card.

But nevertheless, those girls were all the same to me. There were more of them also, I just do not recall who they were. But then., I am not a guy with crushes so I didnt make the effort to discern. I let the posters come to me with their talents and these Initial People did not. Kind of like how Thurgreed probably thinks NotCaseSensitive and Not FromHere are the same poster and PJ and RP are the same.

In a similar vein did anyone see the real life ER program several weeks ago when a tree cutter slipped, landed on a branch, which penetrated his rectum and finally stopped just south of his diaphragm? He was taken to OR, where the part of the branch that was sticking out of his butt was gingerly removed; his abdomen was opened and, to everyone's surprise, the branch hadn't perforated any other organs or severed any blood vessels. The surgeons irrigated the abdominal cavity because of the numerous splinters and sewed him up. The tree cutter was discharged several days later once it was determined that he hadn't got a temperature. Thrilling TV but gross in an icky squicky way

Stonehenge = Female Genitalia
 
Stonehenge Depicts Female Genitalia, Researchers Say
By Amran Abocar

TORONTO (Reuters) - Stonehenge is a massive fertility symbol, according to Canadian researchers who believe they have finally cracked the mystery of the ancient monument in southern England.

In the arrangement of the stones, the researchers say they have spotted the original design: female genitalia.

. . . .

Viewed from above, Perks suggests Stonehenge's inner bluestone circle represents the labia minora and the giant outer sarsen stone circle is the labia majora. The altar stone is the clitoris and the open center is the birth canal.

"Could the outer avenue of Stonehenge...represent the way by which new life entered?" the article wondered, adding that when comparing "the layout of the henge with the anatomy of the human vulva. There is a distinct similarity."

I get this a lot. If I know the young person I spend some time thinking about whether that person has a personality that fits being a lawyer. Of course there are many personality types but I find there are certain traits that need to be there, especially in a litigator.

When I speak with the person, if I feel her or she has those traits I discuss that with em. I also discuss the pros and cons of the practice. The fact it isn't like it seems on law and order or la law, that much of it is drudgery. I always talk with them about different options. I ask them why they think they want to go to law school, what they expect out of it, what they hope to accomplish with their careers.

I am well aware that many attorneys are unhappy, but there are some who are quite happy with their work as well. I try to make this quite clear to the person. I talk about why it seems people are unhappy, and what the people who see to be happy have in common.

If after talking with the person I think it is a very bad idea that he or she go to law school, I have no problem telling them directly that I think this. And I always tell the person who asks me to talk to the young person that I will not hesitate to tell them this if it looks to me like he or she wants to go for the wrong reason or it becomes clear to me that it would be a big mistake. I make sure they understand this and tell them if they don't want the risk that someone will say this to their child, then they best ask someone else to discuss it with them. If on the other hand I know the child and think he or she will fit, obviously, that warning is not needed.

Most often I find however that the person has no questions, hasn't given it any thought and is totally unprepared to speak with me. And then I am irritated with them for wasting my time.

I read a thesis once about hockey and sexual politics in Canada (by a Canadian obviously going stir crazy during the winter and watching way too much hockey). Evidently the net (which is a good size, but not as big as say a soccer net, or as small as a basketball net), is representative of the archetypical Canadian female genitalia. He went on for a good long time about it.

And don't get me started on the Skydome with its retractable roof sitting right next to the CN tower (once the tallest free standing tower in the world). Way too much ink has been spilled about that.

Right Thurgreed, you've got me pegged, I thought that my post in response to E/O's was subtle, and I also think it takes an exceedingly high level of cleverness to annoy you while mocking Paigow's Curb obsession (as well as my own, by the way). I'm the greatest poster ever!
