Sebastian told a story about a girl who put her face on his ass, and I think that was suppose to be years ago

The phrase I cited was from the summer of '89. Maybe the '96 orange soda thing was derivative of it.

But thanks for playing!

Thurgreed's mamma
 

These "Thurgreed's Mama" jokes are getting stale.

My great-grandfather didn't invent the phrase "very [1996]", but he did popularize it in this country. It was all the rage in Schleswig-Holstein when he emigrated in 1881, and that young man had hardly stepped off the boat in New York City when he started merchandising tack and ice skates with the phrase "sehr 1881". His partner, one Andrew Ckrangrysze, had the brilliant idea of translating the phrase into English and putting it on pennants and apparel, and together they made millions. Ckrangrysze changed his name to "Carnegie" and went on to fame and fortune. My great-grandfather blew his entire fortune in an ill-advised scheme to sell porcelain furniture, and today I work for a living.

Paigow Hearts 98 Degrees
 

Newsflash! Paigow outed!

It turns out that Paigow is a 98 Degrees fan named Kelly who was claiming as long ago on as April 7, 2000, on her other bulletin board that she and her buddies from college first used "heart" as a verb. The proof of the pudding is here - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thehea...e/943?source=1

P.S. Note the use of explanation points. I have also now proved that Penske does = Paigow. Q.E.D.

Yeah, and I popularized the phrase "suck my dick"

Good lord, Less, have you taken to trolling the 98 degrees boards?

Actually, Slave referred me there as a dating resource. Where else do you think he really met Paigow?

Point taken. Who's to quarrel with such good results?

Stupid client tricks
 

I heard that first hand, about 3-4 years ago. (Actually, I think the exact words were "but we shouldn't disclose that, or potential investors won't want the stock or they might pay less for it.") The speaker was an MP at a top tier I-bank. It's not apocryphal; it sounds like there are just multiple stupid clients out there.

Another good one: an I-banker proposed inserting into a prospectus something to the effect of: "since acquiring our biggest competitor in X market last year, we have had no siginficant competition and have been able to raise prices in that market 50%. We intend to expand implementation of this strategy to markets Y and Z."

I'm not sure whether ot be terrified or flattered by YOur freakish obssession with me. Honestly LEster, your psychopathetic need to include a reference to me on a regularly basis confirms that you are the most jvenile late-30somthing attorney the world has ever seen.

OBviously you still want me, but it aint' going to happen. I am averse to spittle flying forth from the mouth of a drunken unattractive windbag. STick with the schtick of banging naive young FBers, if there are any left (PJ?) who you can get drunk enough to tolerate your presence for the six or seven hours it takes you to get htem in the sack for the 5 or 6 minutes that you will take. I"Ll never understand this phenomenon but it makes more sense than your obsessession with me.

Yeah, but you worked in an industry where the phrase actually led to getting your dick sucked. Remind me again why you became a lawyer?

A Minor Dilemma
 

I think we are actually on the same page. I don't mind a drink and dancing crammed in with a bunch of 22 year olds now and then, but, for the most part, I want to sit around and get several drinks in a comfortable place when I go out. That's what Chicago is missing, in my opinion. Sports bars, Irish bars, neighborhood bars, we have in spades. There are a lot of those, but they aren't always that nice. And I like the more top-shelf stuff, that these places don't always have.

In Chicago, there aren't a lot of slightly nicer places just to sit and talk and drink. Like an older hotel bar or a nicer hole in the wall with some nice leather couches, or a nice, comfortable bar. Those kind of places are all over the place in New York, LA, DC, Boston and other big cities. Chicago doesn't have many. It's either dingier places or over-the-top, see and be seen by a bunch of tools, dance clubs and bars.

Vibrator Update
 

Because I know y'all were anticipating with bated breath the outcome of my vibrator dilemma, I wanted to let you know that I decided to purchase a Hitachi Magic Wand (found it online for $50 -- Woo-hoo!).

Holy shit. I don't think I'm ever going to need to use the higher speed. Low speed, 15 seconds, done. It's like the McDonalds of orgasms -- fast, easy and strangely addictive. Actually, I don't really like McDonalds, so for me it's more like the Chik-Fil-A of orgasms.

damn, now I'm hungry.

Edited to add: thanks to everybody who helped me out with recommendations....I love you guys. Well, some of you. But not as much as I love my magic wand.

A Minor Dilemma
 

I suggest you try the Redhead. It's a piano bar, but the music isn't too loud and doesn't interfere with conversation. The bar at Gene & Georgetti's is pretty quiet and it's nice. Also, the bars at the Fairmont, the Intercontinental, the Four Seasons fit the bill.

A Minor Dilemma
 

Who's got similar recs for DC? I'm thirsty.

A Minor Dilemma
 

The last two times I've attempted to go, the line has been out the door. And I don't wait in lines for bars/pubs/clubs. Unless it's a late-night bar and I'm not drunk yet.

A Minor Dilemma
 

Yep, there's an Irish bar on every corner. You're right though, either the places are look-at-me places, or they're frat clubs...not much in-between...I don't want to start about the lack of good Jewish delis...

A Minor Dilemma
 

The lack of a good Jewish deli is a major dilemma virtually everywhere outside NYC. Hell, I'd hardly visit the place except that I'd die from the lack of a decent bagel once in a while.

Ignore List Rants Were First Done In Ancient Greece
 

thought maybe more stylistic things could be "invented" here, because it seems like any word or phrase is found somewhere. So I googled "on my ignore list."

Note, I didn't find the following during some some normal time passing on a dweeb-a-web computer gaming freakathon. Although, somehow the content of the fantasy game underlying the rant makes it sound saner.
Anyway, Paigow's (you're on)/(going on) list, plus TM "why are you posting about nothing?" rants, while perhaps entertaining, are not new.

"Please Don't Share Anymore, My Ignore List Is Already Full

It has been said that the computer isolates us, that when we spend too much time on the computer we lose the ability to communicate with our fellow man. I fucking wish! We've got the opposite problem in Norrath! People never shut the fuck up!
.................................................................................................... ........every alien from the planet "My Opinion Matters To Other People" has to throw in their 2 cents..........................................
But, I digress. Why do people feel compelled to share so fucking much in zone wide chatter? It's not like actually talking to real live humans, where sometimes you say things before you think about it. It's not like your verbal diarrhea just slipped out. You have to make the effort to type out your brilliant observations on "goddammit it's raining again." No kidding. It's raining. The other forty people in the zone would NEVER have noticed if hadn't been for you! Hooray, Captain Obvious has saved us from…um… our virtual selves getting virtually wet in a virtual world? Gosh! Thanks! I'll just run for a dwarf hut to protect my hairdo now that you've pointed out the weather!

Being a moron isn't a crime - but sharing it with the rest of us should be.

I'm surprised it's gotten that busy. For years it was a well-known secret. Enough people knew it was there to make it interesting, but you could always count on getting a seat. I'm sorry to hear that.

Exactly!

I love pro se parties!
 

Not quite stupid client comments, but...

Pro Se today tells me that "you're out of your league" w/r/t real estate knowledge. Our main defense in the case is that he sued the wrong party - he tells me that he knows this judge doesn't rule on the legal issues - he will rule on "the truth" and that "You're going down." (Will see if the "truth" prevails tomorrow at hearing).

Not quite as good as last week when a pro se told me that no judge would ever rule against him because he was a 20+ year veteran sheriff's deputy. (Motion for default judgment is pending, there being no answer and correspondingly no "peace officer" defense asserted.)
