Nah, it'd be nothing but makeovers all the time.
Now that I think of it, there are a lot of gay men in the frats.
We used to discuss makeup and furnishings a lot.
Hmmm.

OK, now that's just not true. I have seen at least one, and probably more (they all kind of blur together) movie in which some guy(s) has(have) the hots for some girl(s) and dress up like women to get admitted into the sorority to get closer to her(them).

Sheesh. EVERYONE knows that. I don't know if they were set on the west coast, the east coast or somewhere in the middle.

Edited to say that at least one of the many guys who have done this in movies no doubt turns out to be gay.

Hooking up

I was talking to a state court judge here last year after a hearing in chambers, and he told me and the other counsel there the story of a long criminal trial he heard about 5 years ago. It was, IIRC, about a 5 week trial, and the jurors were sequestered at a local hotel.

Anyway, he gets a call from one of the male juror's wives. She leaves a message for him that she is very upset with him for keeping her husband sequestered and wanted to know when the trial would end...

He didn't have the heart to tell her that the trial had ended three weeks before. Apparently he shacked up with one of the female jurors. True Story.

In all those rushed changes from boy-clothes to girl-clothes, etc. I'm sure one breaks down and realizes he's hot for his friend.

Making it easier to take the rejection when the sorority girl at whom the attention was originally directed realizes that the new girl really isn't.

Friendster?

So, it seems all of my friends are inviting me to participate in the on-line "Freindster" website (http://www.friendster.com/).

So, I signed up. But to me it looks like one giant hook-up network. Everyone who has posted a photo on there has shown the one with Bedroom eyes and has described their status as "Available" or "Open marriage." So, my questions to the board are:

1. Has anyone else tried friendster?
2. If so, have you actually hooked up with someone you met on friendster?
3. If not, why else would you use the service?

Just curious.

Seven.

I have two invitations to Friendster sitting in my inbox. Someday soon I'll actually take the time to set up a profile. One friend who invited me is in a LT (not open) relationship, the other is recently married.

The buzz around it is that it's the next big thing on the net (like we'll find lawtalkers boring afterwards, perish the thought!!). I think it's supposed to be like online dating but not strictly for sexual relationships.

I'm completely antireligious and I still appreciated it. Telling me "I know X is with the Lord," or whatever you believe, would be completely offensive because it is not your place to impose your religious beliefs on others--even though it's obviously meant kindly. Telling me "my prayers are with you" is not offensive--whether there's really anything to pray to or not, it's a kind act intended to help that hurts no-one.

I thought I posted this. Maybe not.

In case you haven't heard, Friendster.com is a network of networks. It operates on a "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" principle, connecting people through friends for dating and meeting new people. As new friends are added, they can add more friends. In a short time, a personal Friendster network can encompass a mind-boggling array of personalities and geographies. Since its launch in March, Friendster's online community has exploded to more than one million users. The site is free to its members, unlike most online dating sites, and is proving wildly popular because of its casual — well, friendly — feel. The phrase "you should meet my friend" takes on a whole new and instantaneous meaning.

My next step was amassing friends. At first my friends list looked pathetic: just a single thumbnail image of Jeff, my Friendster sponsor. Through one person, I was linked to a network of 196 people. Not bad. I quickly set out to spam my closest pals with invitations to join me on Friendster. I was ill prepared for the dirty, pyramid-marketing-scheme feeling, but I soldiered on like a pimp amassing an army of hos.

That sounds like an actual prostitute was sent to your room though. I'd prefer "he rented pornos, dammit!"

Please don't wait until you find true love to tell us your stories. True love is not interesting to anyone except the participants. We want to hear about the comically bad dates and the sex. Also, don't wait until the report is complete; it's never too early to share, your early impressions are probably the most entertaining, anyway.

In other words, put up or shut up.

Actually, what you should do, is while you are hooking up, have your laptop and/or PDA (as in a palm pilot not a public display of affection) available, and post the details as they happen. If you have one of those cell phones or PDAs that take pictures you could post, all the better.

It could be our own version of a reality show. Unfortunately we wouldn't be able to offer the winner a million bucks.

And bear this rule in mind:
19. Little digital cameras on your cell phone. These are for taking dirty pictures and posting them online, not for snapping your fully clothed friends in bars. When will the populace understand this?

Update from the Stalin Boards
 
Yes, they've been reduced to a vast desolate landscape of sockery. But Las Vegas and Steven Tyler are each living proof that even the loins of a craggy wasteland can occasionally produce something beautiful.

Posted today on the SF/SV board:

Quote:

Posted by taking the snibs to the pool:

Dunce, I suggest that you read the post again. No one was suggesting the guy was asked to leave Carr Ferrell. They were inferring that he left because the place sucks like a cum guzzling road whore.

And for what its worth, Carr Ferrell does suck. They represented the opposing party in a case I worked on. When we showed up for a settlement meeting the Carr attorneys were literally sitting in the meeting room smelling each others farts. I don't know what these guys ate for lunch but they were laughing about who could rip one the loudest and they had the room smelling like a fat man running a marathon. The partner I worked for and I took one step into the room and almost puked. The partner got pissed and told them to screw off and we walked out. Prior to the meeting, the partner and I had had decided upon an initial settlement number to open negotiations with. However after being subjected to their stink the partner was so pissed that he said screw these butt sniffing punks and raised the settlement amount by $150,000. Apparantly, the Carr Farrell attorneys were fart drunk because they jumped on our settlement amount like flies on a crap sandwich. In the end our client ass raped their client (we had no case and were hoping to scare them into a settlement to avoid court costs- instead we ended up getting 150,000 more than our outrageous initial bargaining number). If my experience is any indication of how Carr Ferrell guys do business, its no wonder any decent attorney would pull up stakes and run from the firm.
I like the cut of this man's jib.
