LawTalkers - The thread where Spring has sprung, and Penske has risen from the law. Word!

Ollie (and other Portland peeps):

I will be in town this weekend and could do an early Happy Hour on Friday (5-7 p.m.) downtown or on Burnside. Let me know if you can do.

I'm out of town this weekend. Have fun!

Reason No. 1 why I do not believe the alleged hunger statistics for the U.S.:

Quote:

Burger King Large Triple Whopper with Cheese Value Meal with Fries
1790 calories
111 g fat (38 g saturated, 3.5 g trans)
2430 mg sodium

Never eat foods that are named for their oversized dimensions. Take the Triple Whopper with Cheese: You know it’s big, but you still probably don’t realize that it’s packing 1200 calories and 80 grams of fat. A side of fries adds almost 600 more calories, and if you opt for a Coke, you’re at nearly 2200 calories!

Reason No. 2:

Quote:

McDonald’s Big Breakfast with Large Biscuit, Hotcakes, Margarine, and Syrup
1370 calories
64.5 g fat (21.5 g saturated)
2335 mg sodium
49 g sugar

First off, this meal has more than two-thirds of the calories you should eat in a day. Secondly, it has more than a day’s worth of saturated fat and, with the pancake syrup, more sugar than two packages of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Really, there’s only one decent item on this plate, and that’s the eggs. Everything else—the pancakes, biscuit, sausage, and hash brown—is the sort of food that gives you a body more like Grimace than Ronald.

It may not be healthy, but one can eat for less than $10 a day, or less than $3,600 a year.

Duh. Can I blame the girl with the low cut top I saw today for making me run over some turtle?

I ran into a poll tonight. Or, rather, the poll called me. It was two questions, but could have been one. 1) Did I know who I was voting for in the gubernatorial primary? 2) Who was I voting for? Then, she informed me that there was a 35% chance of seeing the northern lights from Minneapolis, and that the best place to see them was from the south side of a park. She was pretty clearly hitting on me, so I told her that she was welcome to perform fellatio upon me at the park of her choosing. She feigned a kind of mixture of shock and outrage and then hung up, but only after giving me her cell phone number.

Mmmm, Burger (C.J.)

Why aren't you out enjoying the northern lights?

Is it wrong that this makes me want to have a biscuit?

So a family of 4 headed by a single mother can eat two meals a day of nothing but Mickey D's for just $14,400 a year? You're right, why is anyone hungry? Especially with a $7.25 minimum wage and a full employment economy.

After I put the kids to bed, the usual debate is cocktail or go for a run. There has to be a way to do both of these. Margarita in a Camelback?
