Is the real reason you posted this to let us know you are engaged?



Quote:

Merging threads... on BB4: WHat did you all think of the Erica/I want to be JHo thing? The pink boots were disturbing, and someone in their 30s trying to be Jlo seems wrong.
While trying to be like JHo is indeed wrong, in Erika's case, I don't think the age thing is why as they are the same age. JHo's motto seems to be the Dolly Parton quote "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap"

And speaking of it takes a lot of money to look this cheap, a gal I know has one of those hideous LV bags with the LV logo all over it. I think this was discussed before, but this has got to be the epitome of lots of money to look cheap bc the only purpose of this bag that I can see is to announce that you own a LV bag of X dollars. And if that aint tacky, I dont know what is. I guess its like fake tits in that manner- spending four or ten thousand to look tacky.

and back to BB4 since I have decided to compete against PJ in the Race for the Personal K (burger is within five, and I havent seen leagl's number yet), does anyone know who won HOH? I know Jack says his strategy is to not win anything, but, if he wants it I bet he wins. To paraphrase DeNiro "I am a very patient man, fokker. Thats what eighteen months in a Vietnamese prison camp will do to you".

I cant believe Nathan was voted out in a clean sweep. How dumb are these people? They are the bizarro macchiavellis. I am praying to the Good Lord Jesus that Alli goes. Those ponytails were the last straw. Frosh fifteen bulldogs should not wear ponytails, especially when they enhance your roots. She is such trash. Someone buy her a nosejob and a muzzle.

I hear what you are saying - women have been mass brainwashed regarding diamonds in a way that is startling to me, and I cannot help feel a little less respect for even close friends who get hung up on the size of their diamond rings. But I have been known to buy expensive non-functional things because I think they are cool. So who am I to criticize? To answer my own question, I am Pretty Little Flower, a man of exquisite and superior taste and style. The frivolous things I buy are inherently valuable because they have received my imprimatur of cool merely through the fact that I purchased them. And if I choose to look upon you with disdain because you follow sheep-like into the DeBeers marketing trap, then I will do so, you stupid shallow little fuck of a woman. You know what that two carat diamond means to a guy? It means that, with the extra carat, he just purchased a license to get a blow job from your maid of honor at your wedding. By spending the extra $3000 on your gaudy diamond engagement ring, he just obtained implicit permission to fuck some skanky hooker at his bachelor party. But what do you care? You have a rock so big that that even the bitchy trophy wife secretary down the hall is jealous.
What a terrible thing to say about Momsquared!!!

Not discussing the size of my mom's rock, even though she is still Mommy From the Block bc that would be gauche! Totally not garden party chic.

In related news:

HR 2752, The Author, Consumer, and Computer Owner Protection and Security Act (ACCOPS) is sponsored by two Democratic representatives, John Conyers of Michigan and Howard Berman, California.

The bill would [make it a FELONY and] impose a prison sentence of up to five years for anyone who makes copyrighted material available over a computer network without permission [i.e. a SINGLE song].

Linkage

I haven't paid much attention to the debate, but it seems to me that there's something unseemly about criminalizing behavior (i.e. having a file on your computer where someone else may grab it) that could well be legal (fair use), rather than criminalizing activity which is pretty much indefensible (actual downloading).

That and if you're going to pass a law that tens of millions of people would be violating, at the level of a felony nonetheless, it sets up serious potential for abitrary and capricious enforcement.

Being the big loser I am, I looked up a site with the recaps and saw she won and that she and Jack wree talking about finally puting Justin up. I assume that Robert (she still hates him, right?) goes up also but have my fingers crossed that the bulldog is in danger. but erika wont want the stooges voting so putting two up only leaves one to vote.

my question is that Justin (?) said that he was one of four votes when talking about dumping Nathan. Who is the fourth, Jun or Allison?

So the most powerful man in hip-hop takes you out of your shitty life, puts you up for free in a fabulous house, loads you with people whose only job is to give you advice and make you succeed, and gives you hours of his own time, and half the band says thanks by acting like petty sullen ungrateful little assholes. Right, remind me to kick our VP in the gonads when he makes me General Counsel.

Back to "you want fries with that?" for these guys. The ones who actually deserve it, should be given new peers to work with, and have been entirely worth the effort I think.

I assumed that it was Jun. She was sitting with them playing cards when nathan came in to call her out [the whole stirring up trouble and being a sneak stuff]. I still can't believe how easily Allison voted off Nathan. So much for the golden veto that he used.

I caught portions of this last night and was struck by how not hot most of the guests at the hotel are. How on earth did they get chosen? I thought reality TV, at least of the Paradise Hotel variety, was all about appearances, unless maybe I don't get the concept of what Paradise Hotel is supposed to be.

Also, I saw portions of Race to the Altar and thought the same thing. Uuuuuuggggggglllllllyyyyyyyy. NTTAWWT, but I don't want to see it on my reality TV. Give me the cast of Real World Las Vegas any day.

I don't watch reality tv so I am speaking solely from my ass on this one but it seems to me that:

(a) The pool of really attractive people in the US (and the world for that matter) is not particularly huge; and
(b) Within that pool the smaller pool of people willing to go on reality tv after seeing how you can be made to look like a fool/bitch/whore/jerk/etc. is miniscule when compared to the population as a whole.

..so....

The reality tv people have made so many shows that not only are viewers getting a little tired but they are running out of first-string participants and having to go to the practice squad.

Just my baseless take on the issue which I know that you were all dying to know and now don't you all feel better for knowing? ;)

We had all just set down our Appletinis and, in their place, began picking up these new sweet, minty, rum concoctions that were as intoxicating as the tech boom itself. I recall sitting in swank Paris lounges with Plated and Multo, listening to Air's Femme D'Argent, and drinking $1,800 bottles of wine, which were easily affordable given my expansive credit line leveraged on my Infirm stock. The salary charts I had pioneered had made the law firm salary infrastructure transparent. We had BigLaw by the balls and were not going to stop squeezing until starting salaries reached $175K and BYBs added at least another $75K of icing to that cake.

I was trying to have a drink with some out-of-town friends at a local establishment when the Real World Chicago was being filmed. Tonya, et al showed up and proceeded to do shots and scream at the top of their lungs. I got up to get some wings from the free wing buffet (Barleycorns) and Tonya gets up and walks right in front of me and says "do you mind if I cut in line?" (camera's rolling -- obviously trying to create something) Of course, I was the ONLY person getting food. I responded with my best "what the fuck are you talking about there's no fucking line" look and said "what line? There's no one here." She realized how annoyed I was and stopped talking. After watching the first few (unwatchable) episodes, I realized I was much too cordial with her...

Ah yes, the good old days. When young punks like you were squeezing outrageous first-year salaries and bonuses out of the firms, compressing the pay scale down to nothing for us veterans, bloodied and soiled by years of selling our souls. Making it so we had to work twice as hard to stay in place, compressing partner ranks.

And all the while, you drank and danced. Making fun of the Dockers that were all we could afford after buying our houses in the suburbs and our SUVs and sending the little bastards -- I mean kids-- to summer camp.

But the the bubble burst, didn't it, you SPOILED BRRATS!!!!!!!

And now those of you still employed are wondering why the party ended, while your unemployed brothers and sisters wander the streets, trailing their Prada messenger bags and their Kate Spade purses behind them.....

Meanwhile, I enjoy my revenge from my safe in-house senior counsel job, smiling as I tell you that no, outside counsel just isn't in the budget this quarter. And my 3% raises and my 401(k) just keep racking up. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
