Two things that bug you today
 
Book the room and then book the room next door for the bachelorette party. Sit back and watch the entire delicious situation unfold.

Better than watching MBA, I'd bet.

For it to a dirty little secret, someone would have to actually attach some value to the distinctions of "class" that only you make. I haven't seen anyone else here give a flying fuck about "class" other than to be offended that you use it as an insult.

That was SO wrong!!!!!!!! How could they send home Rickey before Carmen or the Skanky Kim? How could Carmen NOT be in the bottom 3?

Is this a sign of the impending apocalypse?

That makes me sad. I liked him.

Not to mention boxers:

http://prodtn.cafepress.com/4/5507924_F_tn.jpg

But there are two problems with it. Well mainly one. The gavel isn't mine. I found one on the web and altered it, so I don't think it is appropriate we actually use it. Even though it is available for free, I don't think it would be a good idea to actually use it as our logo.


My problem is that while I can manipulate an image (this is what it looked like originally) ]http://www.consultwebs.com/art/images/gavel.gif




I cannot, in fact, draw.

Can anyone draw a gavel that we can use instead?

Also, I kind of liked the idea of making the gavel the T in LawTalkers.

What do you guys think?

Hey, are you creating a logo? Did I ask for commentary on the gavel itself? I think not. Can you draw? No? Then shush.

Ingrates is what you are. No, good ingrates.

Actually I see your point, but I didn't see a penis in it. No surprise, I don't tend to see penises in things, it is hardly the first thing my mind is gonna go to.

I'm not saying I did, and I'm not saying I didn't. From now on nobody is ever allowed to know what I really mean. This way I will always have a defense.

But Fringey's right, it's a little mutated, 'specially at the bottom.

I'm not sure if being stuck reviewing docs has scrambled my mind (today I started channeling office space characters in my temporary Dilbert cube), but I really enjoyed The Bachelor tonight. Could it be that this season will hook me when all others have failed? And fwiw I actually find him cute (the other Bachelor stiffs did less than nothing for me).

I felt kind of bad for the little sorority chick who is like 23 and keeps getting soused. She's gonna feel pretty dumb watching the shows air. And I despise the cheesy NJ chick. What is with her ultra-long mullet hair? Is that some Jersey thing? Has it replaced the standard mall hair?

Also, leagl, any way to get quickly back to the last page you viewed without having to back up only two pages at a time? I'm finding this board impossible to follow with limited access over the past couple of weeks. It would be good if I could just remember what the last page I saw was (for example tonight I logged on and hadn't viewed since page 88 or 90) and go directly there. Maybe I can and I just don't know it.

Yeah, instead of clicking on the last page when you come into the board, go in by clicking on the main link (the board name) then click on Go to first unread post.

Once you click on the last page of the board it thinks you have read that post, so you need to be sure to view it in that order.

Oh and make sure you have cookies on in your preferences.

Hi Bilmore.

I will remind you I apparently liked the penis well enough to make a logo out of it. Now I readily concede I didn't think it looked like a penis until the others pointed it out...but ...oh...I forget what my point was.

Carry on.

I couldn't agree more. The only explanation I can come up with is Mormon bloc voting--they knew she was on the cusp so the phone trees and redial buttons were working overtime. On behalf of saner Mormons everywhere, I'd just like to apologize.

I cannot believe it.

Rickey did a wonderful job with Endless Love.

I am very upset. I would be much more upset were I not inebriated and watching this travesty on tape.

I cannot believe the trollops have remained in the competition.

The OddMan is calling out Kimberly Caldwell (though he understands because she looked hot) and Carmen Rasmussen ("she can't even hit notes in a goddamn blondie song . . . and they kept her?!!!!!").

Even(I have nothing else to say))Odds

c2ed 04-10-2003 02:23 AM

Tone deaf.
 
While Rickey was not my favorite by any means, he definitely was MUCH better than either Carmen or Kim C. That Carmen must appear on our nation's television screens for one more week is a travesty beyond compare (unless that comparison is to Nikki McKibben). America is absolutely tone deaf, that is the only explanation.

Long Island license plates from the 80s
 
I defy anyone to top this classic. Nice jewish boy from the Five Towns gets a *Fila* Thunderbird (which I always assumed was the Firebird with the tacky red bird painted on the hood but now realize it was less cheezy than that, but it was still the Fila edition which is an Only on Long Island thing) for his sixteenth birthday from his father, a dentist. License plate "Toothboy"

Needless to say the son had to go into therapy for resenting his parents so much. Oy.

At least she didn't have a license plate (not "tag," I've really been down here for too long) that said "My Regal." I fucking hate that. Like I can't tell by looking at the back of your car what kind of fucking car it is, you money-wasting dipshit!

For example, I believed Paigow when she said she was playing with "classy," but not because of her lengthy explanation, which smacked of protesting too much (becausethe "I was kidding" or "it was deliberate" or "you have fallen into my trap" response seems like a post-hoc thing even when it's not). I'm sensitive to it because it's not uncommon that people don't realize that I'm being facetious. Not just here, where it's to be expected because it ruins the fun if you point out the joke as you're making it, but IRL, too.

No comprendo. Translation?

And speaking of classy, did anyone else groan at the site of the gal in the besequined tricolor tank top explaining that one of the attirbutes she has that the Bacnelor might enjoy is that she is classy? Let me be the first to say that, like with attractiveness, if you have to explian you are "classy", you probably (to use the WAY overused cliche post hoc explanatino for why you drew a conclusion) "Doth Protest Too Much".

And barely- why were you so convniced that this Bachelor is a total asshole? I dont see it. Is it a conclusion you drew based on the fact that he comes from an upper crust family? He actually seems like a relatively nice guy. Of course I always question how much of the things he has to say about shit like, my wife is in this room is actually scripted. Like, its safe to say, he could do better than 98% of these chicks (those I like kirsten and that Tina from Tennessee I think so far, aand Liz seems like a decent human being)

Two thoughts, one of which has probalby been expressed. Why is a lesbian drawing penises?

Also, I think the use of the gavel overlooks the fact that many of us are transactional types. How about entering the digital part of a xerox machine where you enter the client's billing code?

That has to be the explanation but why dont theese mormons vote this hard every week if they want her around for so long? And I dont think anoyne was more surprised than Carmen that she didnt go bottom three. I really hope these bloc voter people dont take a deserved victory from Ruben and hand it to someone unworthy. You should only be allowed to vote once.

Rickey only surprised me in that he did worse than Carmen. He is just way too lite FM for the kids these days and the prancing balladeer seems to have locked up the token lite FM vote. Cant have a Yanni and a Michael Bolton

Yes, dumbass, I hate everyone from upperclass families. Luckily that means I can still hang out with you.

I think he is a tool because he has seen the previous two bachelors, knows the type of skanky/insane chicks that the producers pick to go on the show, and still decided to do the show because he knows he'll be able to score with them and look like a stud on tv but will still be able to find an excuse to dump the last one standing before he actually has to walk her skanky New Jersey (or worse, Florida) ass to the altar.

Also, you missed the first show where they showed the montage of future episodes in which he is macking on many of the women. Ick.

After last night I have more reasons to hate him. Gee, I wonder why he kept the sorority girl who got so drunk on her date that she threw up, and got so drunk at the rose ceremony that she was lying in another girl's lap? I bet he totally kept her b/c she is prime marriage material and he will be proud to bring her home to mom and dad. And way to not pick the really attractive woman who showed a modicum of good sense and tact by refusing to "rat out" the other women to him.

I hate him. That being said, of course I love the show and will continue watching. The producers know what they are doing.

????? Paigow is now saying that she is the first to state "Those with class don't talk about it?"

Wasn't she outed as an another desperate upper middle class climber yesterday? You two seem to be talking past one another, or am I being socked? Correct me if I'm wrong - I just want to get the record straight. YOU are the one who doesn't care about class. PAIGOW is the one who wants everyone to think she's rich. I assumed that was the crux of it. If I'm wrong, let me know.

I shouldn't read the posts from last to first. Now I get it. Barely is an alleged reverse snob and Paigow wants everyone to think she's a snob so that everyone will then think she's upper crust. Its like a chicken before the egg type thing.

I had upper crust on my french onion soup yesterday. DElish.
