All those motherfuckers should do hard time in a regular jail. You want to reduce corporate crime (yez, this is a tangent), do away with country club jails altogether. If you steal a purse with $50 in it, you go to a fuck-me-up-the-ass prison. If you steal $10,000,000, you go to a jail with no walls? That's some bullshit.

I agree thhey should face hard time. But they ought to face a reasnable amount of time - say five or six years. Twenty five years is just absurd. It's as wrong as the Rockefeller Drug sentences. But I agree that everybody should go to the same jail. That would all but end white collar crime.

I believe the correct phrase is a "federal pound-me-in-the-ass" prison. Assumption of risk? So it is an assumption of risk that I will bitch slap someone for a stupid post? I am working on my TMisms.

If I cheat a grandmother out of her life's savings of $300k and you cheat all of your employees (and every stockholder) out of each of their life's savings for a grand total of $300 million, why should we do the same amount of time?

I don't give a fuck about these assholes. I hope they all get the maximum. Then the next egomaniacal, greedy as sin, ceo who's thinking about doing the same can add the prospect of those extra 20 years to his risk analysis.

So then we made out and I got brown spray-on goo all over her.
Are there any men in the spray on tan industry? I would think this would be a good job for them.

Also, I thought you were smooth like a teenage Asian hooker? ?????

After a nice Gillette Foamy shave and a bracing splash of Aqua Velva, one would comb a little Vitalis thru the locks, and presto!, The Man In The Grey Flannel Suit was ready for another drive from Levittown or New Rochelle into the city for a hard day's work writing jokes with Buddy and Sally for the "Alan Brady Show" or pitching ideas to Larry at the McMann & Tate ad agency.

egad, I used the name of the actress instead of the name of the character! Fixed now.

Okay. Gotta hit some meetings but I'll conclude my little foray onto your naughty little board with a naughty little memory. Like I said, my ex's big cock was surrounded by red pubes, some of which were brassy red, others more of a strawberry blonde (the latter mostly covered his lemongellos.) I had never sucked on such a big one before that, and so used to race down there on him to catch it while it was not yet fully hard to have some fun before jaw strain set in. This started a fetish that lasts to this day -- I love sucking a guy to complete hardness, squishing it around my mouth until it grows too unwieldy.

I like chia pets too, and am unsure at this time how this may or may not relate.

Have a nice day.

"So what?" you say. "Who cares if he looks at it differently? Can't we all just get along?" Well, I care. It meant that I worked this weekend instead of going to the Vitalis Bowl.
Whlie watching said bowl, I kept thinking of the Tragically Hip song that starts: "One day in El Paso/The cops went into the crowd."

Everybody eight clap!

And if anyone cares, I have a fully functional desk and chair. I also have ten files on my desk and not too sure what to do with them. I've never felt more like Costanza in my life. God help my new clients.

Based on my litigation experience, they decide in favor of whichever lawyer is more likeable. In the case of my old firm, that was us, 91.5% of the time.

Easiest bet ever
 
So before I dive into these ten files, I want to describe the easiest sports bet I'll ever make. Yesterday, with VA Tech up by 11, the Hokies had the ball at midfield and were about to punt the ball back to Louisville with 2:40 left in the game, whose QB had just taken two of the hardest hits I've ever seen. VA Tech's defense was fired up, and Louisville was done.

In this situation, I was able to buy 10 shares of Louisville -9.5 at 72. I thought they would have been in the 84-90 range. (shares pay 100 for winning side at game's end, 0 for losing side). Damn, I wish I'd bought 40 of them. Easiest $280 I'll ever make.

For the record, the Louisville QB threw a pick on the third play of their drive. Game over. I love when it's that easy.

I should probably stp, but isn't this contraindicated if you want a realistic-looking tan? I mean, now you'll be all patchy.
