World Series of Poker... NO one can win??
 

What a dull, uninformative article. It had only minimal information about what, exactly, the casino had failed to pay. Hmph.

On the other hand, it goes to show that these damn people should consult their employee benefits lawyers more often and then do as they are told. And that Employee Benefits Are Important And Should Not Be Ignored.

We definitely had parently permission for participation for this sort of thing at my school, and there was always a kid or two who opted out.

Reunited, and It Feels So... Like I STILL Wanna Kick Your Ass
 

Here's a show with an interesting premise that might provide some entertaining moments....

VH1 is premiering a show called "Bands Reunited" where the host travels the globe trying to convince long broken-up acts to reunite and play together one more time. Sounds kind of like "Behind the Music" a step further where they drag all the band members badmouthing each other together to do it face to face.

Premieres Jan. 19th.

Not wild about the list of acts so far, but even shows with bands that suck can be fun if they want to kill each other.

Here's the first ten episodes --

Berlin, A Flock of Seagulls, Dramarama, Extreme, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Kajagoogoo, Klymaxx, Romeo Void, Squeeze and The Alarm

Basic parenting: we never want to admit it, but usually even if we've said no, extended crying and whining can lead us to give in.

Also, we often let someone who has been given life out on parole after a decade or two -- but usually at least demand some remorse from them first.

So, I'd say that Rose has going for him what every other one year old or criminal does.

Your parents most likely did have to give permission whether you knew it or not (Depending on the year you were in 5th grade). Those 'my body, myself' films/sex ed were pretty controversial once upon a time.

Even now many Catholic schools require permission for any sort of education that could even remotely be called 'hygiene'-related.

I am starting to understand why the R's on the P-board can't understand the difference between lying over a little extracurricular action in the oval office and lying to get us into a war -- one relates to the job, the other doesn't.

And remember, there are individual sports and team sports, and you shouldn't dis the one who excel at team sports just because you only play one-on-one.

There are parents for whom no means no. Makes for happier parents and children.

Your examples are not analogous. A much closer analogy is the Prez having sex with adult, human, females while in office. His detractors say the Prez is held to a higer standard and such conduct tarnished the image of the Office. There has been no forgiveness of his actions by the public and likely never will be.

If you set the standard of behavior at 'X' to protect the image of the institution, then that is the standard. If time, good works, or other 'skill while in the office' is enough for you to overlook the 'bad acts', then you forfeit the right to argue for consistency.

(before someone goes off about how the former Prez's 'crime' was actually lieing to the american public, my point is that the action he was questioned about was totally legal in every state and the district v. Mr. Rose's actions were not.)

Welcome, grasshopper.

I would suggest a quick trip to Circuit City to get yourself a sarcasm meter.

Or you can contact fringey (AKA, ltl/fb), who is not using hers and may let you have a second hander cheap.

Be the baseball.


Added Note: all responses on sarcasm meter topics should go on technology board, not here. Thank you.

Without doing indepth research (beyond having watched about 45 minutes "I Love The 80s Strike Back"), Kajagoogooo has to the odds-on favorite for bloody physical mayhem. Sounded like pretty serious hatred there.

This program, in fact, will really suck unless there's still bad blood, verbal sniping, open feuding, etc.

I just forgot to wear briefs; but your personal attack is misplaced. The temperature at which a part of one's body turns into an ice cube is certainly no barometer of one's manliness. Do you feel steel wimpier than water because it freezes at a higher temperature?

Reunited, and It Feels So... Like I STILL Wanna Kick Your Ass
 

I can't wait to see what a train wreck the lead singer must be by now......

Reunited, and It Feels So... Like I STILL Wanna Kick Your Ass
 

They probably pick the artists with potential for controversy in mind, which was one of the two criteria for Behind the Music, the other of course being that the artist/group had a new CD to plug.

Kajagoogoo should be good, as should Frankie, as the lead singers of each of those groups exhibited some notoriously diva-esque (Hi tm!) behavior. Don't know the whole story yet, but I can't imagine the Squeeze reunion being too full of conflict.

Definitely need more punk groups as I wanna hear some punker tell a former bandmate to "Fuck off, you bloody wanker!" and crack him over the head with a fifth of Jack... and a full blown Van Halen reunion with Sammy AND Dave would be hilarious.

I'd say any steel that freezes at a higher temperature than water is indeed quite wimpy.

So many questions!

1. No. I feel powerful because I'm a hot shit big city lawyer.
2. Perhaps a little; more so if any of this were funnier.
3. No (that's too bad; sorry about that).
4. SCORE!
5. Well, at least one of us is scoring.

By the way, good call on editing the girlie comment out. Now you can pretend it was all in my head that it ever happend.

Damn proud of it. And I was in the top half of my class, too.

I dunno, my school was sort of "out there." We had at least one copy of "Are You There God It's Me, Margaret" in the middle school library -- and you didn't need permission to check it out. Haven't the pompous-ass book burners pretty much done away with that and other great books in schools by now? I seem to recall that book being on the "works of Satan that must be banned" list that pops up frequently. I still wonder how these mental midgets come up with their lists -- "The Lorax" gets on the list for some reason. Morons.

I became hysterical and fainted when my 7th grade science teacher put a mouse to sleep under glass (he revived it, of course). Had it been a human it would not have bothered me -- anything involving animals that is not simply loving and respecting them is my weakness.

In his spare time my father was chief of the local volunteer fire department so by the time I was 10 I had been to many fires, car accidents, etc. that involved some pretty graphic moments simply because I was in the car with him when the call went out. The only semi-disturbing moment I had was when I had to clean some "stuff" off of the dress uniform a young firefighter died in on his way to a parade (my dad's department paraded at fairs for cash prizes to help raise money to support the department) ... his mother wanted him buried the next day and there was no time for dry cleaning. He was only a few years older than me and we had grown up together -- it was hard to do.

Back before I hit the corporate world I was invovled in some wrongful death cases (okay, I will admit that the young kid bothered me) and worked for a judge when we had some capital murder cases.....I have seen many photos and at least one autopsy. The pain and suffering of animals still bothers me more because they are just naturally innocent and most people are not.

(Torontonian professor wears cyborg suit, is a pain in the ass)

"As a teenager, Mann worked in a television repair shop and became fascinated by the mini-TVs that served as viewfinders in consumer camcorders. He decided to link that technology with computing, and by the late 1970s, he began experimenting with wearable computers.

He wore one to a high school dance."

The professor's wife also wears one, but the article is silent on how their relationship is enhanced. 7 of 9?

I had no idea that we would be dissecting cats. In fact, the first time the class learned about dissecting anything was when the teacher announced something to the effect of: "Class, we will be dissecting cats today because fetal pigs are on backorder with the lab supplier."

And all the other singles...rejection hotline
is a phone number you can give to tools in bars who won't go away otherwise. The phone number gives them a message that they've been rejected. Has got to be a lot of fun. I suppose you could ask them to verify by cell phone right in front of you - hilarity would surely ensue. The numbers have many local area codes for convenience.

I have not heard the actual message, all I'm getting is "all circuits are busy" so either a LOT of people are using it, or the number's bad.

From the website...the Rejection Hotline is a number you can give out to somebody who asks for your phone number if you just don't want to give out your real number. When they call the number, they hear our humorous Rejection Hotline recording and they are not-so-subtly informed of your non-interest. If you've never heard the recording, call 617-861-3962

ETA that I finally got through and the message is pretty funny.

Confidential to Atticus
 

I have recently been informed that you have been trashing me on some other fucking lawyers chat board. Knock it off or I'll find you and kick your ass again with a severed arm this time.

Confidential to Atticus
 

atticus wasn't trashing you. i had accused him of being your sock, and he just wanted to distance himself, but in a way that made you sound exotic. Alot of people don't like him, so it was sort of for your benefit.

And if you want to threaten Atticus in a way likely to change his behavior, I'd recommend something like "I'll leave work early, go to your house, pull the new Utne reader out of the mailbox, tear out several pages from near the end of thoughtful articles, and put in back in the mailbox."

I'm not going to go into detail, but this might be effective in changing his behavior. I'm just not sure threatening to hit him with a severed arm is going to motivate him to do as you request. NTTAWWT.

Confidential to Atticus
 

For the sake of plausibility, you could have edited your threat to read: "Knock it off or I'll find you and whip your ass again with a severed arm this time." Unless you can demonstrate how kicking may be accomplished with an arm -- let alone a severed arm -- I don't see how a Timmy such as Atticus will be quaking in his boots upon seeing your post.

Also, on what previous occasion did you kick his ass? (I am referring to the "again" in your threat.) Just curious.

Confidential to Atticus
 

I don't know about the ass kicking or whipping, but I believe I have found the IRL Atticus.
