Suddenly I'm swamped. 10 PM last night and 12-15 hour days this weekend. Ugh.

Is it safe to demand gigantic raises yet?

Hell(new skool greedy)o

Wow, that sucks. I'm not THAT busy. Just back to the days where my phone is ringing so much during the week that it is hard to get much drafting done except for evenings and weekends.

Of course, it is good news to see lots of work on the transactional side of things... So no complaining from me yet.

Yeah I'm doing some work. Have to get ready to go out though, so I'll be done soon.

Close call
 

You can't fashionably say "I'm gonna pop a cap in yo' ass, sucka!" with anything else.

Back in the day, we used the term "bust".

Yes, and today we use the term "TITS!!!!!"

Anyone know the name of this short story?
 

The Bank has installed a new safe with a timed entry restriction feature and a young girl wanders in and closes the door.

Thanks for asking -- I am getting closer to final resolution. Hopefully soon. I will post once its all over. (I know this is taking me too long :( )

Death penalty
 

Actually, I think the evidence points to just the opposite. Sexual deviants who go through real treatment (skinnerian behavior modification, not that yippy hippy talking crap) have some of the lowest rates of recidivism compared to other criminals. Unfortunately, liberals don't like it when you hook sensors up to someone's cock, show them deviant images, then shoot blasts of amonia up their nose if they get an erection. It is a little too clockwork orange for their sensibilities. But I agree that chemical castration and "share your feelings with the group" type shit is almost completely worthless.

No, I just don't like the smell of ammonia, that's all.

Article claims that one out of three visitors to web porn sites is a woman.

"Nearly one in three visitors to adult Web sites is a woman, according to Nielsen"

Lots of work, indeed, but at least misery hearts company.

For the street, it takes a brave man to walk around in a skirt.
 

Indeed.

The skirt I will bravely wear on the streets of NY and Chi-town in upcoming months.

Assumption of the risk applies to those who would lift it to do a boxers or briefs check.

Ditto. Likewise. Me too.

And it's damn cold in the office today.

surfer loses arm in shark attack
 

Yes and with this damn skirt there is a hell of a draft.

My first fashion advice
 

this is kind of forward for a newbie and all, and we're from different parts of the country and different firms, but FWIW,

at my firm a guy wears a skirt to the office on a Sunday, and people will talk that maybe he's looking for more than a paycheck.

Alien v Predator
 

It'll include Lance Henriksen and is slated for August 2004. The preview for it before Alien reveals nothing of the plot. Supposedly, though Lance plays a billionaire who explores an ancient pyramid under the ice on antartica and accidentally gets in the middle of a tiff between some predators and aliens.

By the by, Sigourney's panties in Alien are ugly as shit. From the front, the low cut affords the viewing pleasure of the side of her ass bulging over the top. From the back, plumber's crack. Some of the special effects suck also. The fully grown alien looks like a guy jumping around in a halloween suit. The audience laughed at one part because it was so obviously fake, where Ian Holn's head was swapped for a manequin's head made up to look like him. Ugly-ass panties aside, I think Sigourney looks better in Aliens than in Alien; the aging of her features improved her looks.

Article claims that one out of three visitors to web porn sites is a woman.
 

More telling fact from the article:

"The editors of Today's Christian Woman, an evangelical magazine, had heard anecdotes of churchgoing women getting hooked on pornography, so they conducted a survey asking readers of their online newsletter if they had intentionally visited porn sites. Thirty-four percent said they had."

If one third of fundamenatalist women are surfing porn sites, then the average overall is probably higher.

Does Anyone Have a Link to Picture Dump?
 

A while ago, someone posted an image they retrieved from some site called picture dump or photo dump. They had different categories for pictures on the top right or something. I think the picture in question was some sort of animal in trouble or something. (It was work-appropriate.) I tried searching online for the site, but I mostly got websites with pictures of dump trucks. I tried using the search feature here, but mostly got posts about whether or not posters should dump their boy/girlfriends. I tried looking at my history, but I last visited the site a month or so ago.

Help would be appreciated.

You can really have fun by putting these together. The first statement suggests that overall, women are half as likely as men to visit adult porn sites. The second compares evangelical woman to each other.

Together, they suggest that almost all men with the means to do so check out internet porn. If even a third of good Christian women are tweaking the bean on the internet, then surely more women from the population at large are. If even more than a third or women from the population at large are, then that number approaches 40 or 50%. Double that if you believe the original statistic, and you'll see that nearly all men are tcb'ing to pictures of unspeakable debauchery.

Of course, you might convince me that good Christian women are all sexually frustrated and pent up, and the rest of the population is just out there having sex instead of sitting at home in front of the computer fantasizing about it.

Article claims that one out of three visitors to web porn sites is a woman.
 

You seem surprised that churchgoing people are just like other people. There is no reason to assume that non-evangelicals visit porn sites either more or less than evangelicals. (Remember, non-evangelicals include Catholics.) This also doesn't say how many might have visited just to see what it is like and how many may be "hooked".

But I think average Americans, and probably average people everywhere, are pretty much like me -- religious, yes, but neutered, no.

(edited to fix spelling)

I've been lucky enough to have avoided being the target of any criminal action. I've had my house robbed and been in bars fights, but no one's ever tried to mug me opr assault me with a weapon... knock on wood.

I was outside a bar a few years back when two kids got into a fight. All of the sudden, one pulls out a gun and points it sideways at the other, dumbass-white-kid-wanna-be-a-gangsta style. Realizing that if the kid fired he'd probably miss his intended target and shoot someone else (because that stupid gangsta sideways shooting style maeks aiming the gun properly impossible), I said calmly to a friend, "Lets get the fuck out of here" and we slowly backed away around a corner and got the fuck away from there. I probably would not have been as calm were I not drunk... seeing a gun aimed near you is pretty fucked up. Knowing the shooter is inexperienced and likely drunk as hell is even worse...

I was at a party in high school at my girlfriend's house pretty far out in the country. Thes total asshole college dues show up and started fucking with shit in the house, so they were asked to leave. They refused and eventually grabbed a lineman's girlfriend's ass and all hell ensued. Since it was my gf's house, I tried to calm shit down, to no avail. Rather disgusted and thinking I'm going to be in deep shit because the house was getting wrecked, I walk outside, where I witness a high school buddy taking a baseball bat to one of the college guys and really fucking him up. I immediately figure, "Great, now I'm going to be the guy who bought beer for a party that turned into a homicide." I screamed "What the fuck are you thinking?" and the dude stopped swinging the bat, only to realize that near the patio of the house, a bunch of other HS guys are pounding a college dude to a pulp, 4 on 1 style. I yell at those guys to stop also, and they oblige, but at this point, I'm stuck with two near corpses on the ground. Both guys are unconscious and I'm really fucking scared that the dude who got hit with the bat is dead. I ask a bunch of people to take them to the hopsital and everyone refuses. Eventually, one good friend agrees to take them to a hospital in their own car and leave them by the door and call the emergency roo, which he did, followed by another guy who whisked him away after he dropped off the badly beaten cats. I helped the gf clean up, threw the baseball bat and all remnants of booze from the party in a dumpster at a construction site miles away and just got the fuck out of there. I don't think I've ever been that scared shitless, and the whole episode still gives me the creeps today. I thought I saw a guy either killed or given serious brain damage. And the creepy thing is I've worked with the guy who swung the bat, and he's a totally devoted family man who's nice as the day is long. Booze and angry young males is a scary fucking mix.

It was a wonderful 45 minutes. It made the drive home much nicer, thank you.

He finished in just over 4 hours. Not bad. I'm just wondering, was the mohawk aerodynamic?

One story reported he was helped by his "I heart New York" Breath-Right nose strip.

Not as aerodynamic as shaving one's head.

Death penalty
 

I used to have a client that was a forensic psychiatrist that specializes in adiction medicine and some sex offenses. He would do screenings of sex offenders for parole hearings. He says that there are some very good drugs out there to rewire the brain and the sexual impulses that some of the sex predators have. Treatment works for some of them, doesn't for others.

Heh. All according to plan. Mmwwahhahahah . . . wait, that's last year's evil laugh. I'll try again.

Heh. All according to plan. Tee hee hee hee.

If the only problem they have is sexual, then yes, there are some very effective treatments. If the person is a sick puppy in all aspects of his life, then he may not be as good a candidate for treatment. The otherwise well-adjusted executive who has deviant thoughts is easier to cure than the schizophrenic drifter who is addicted to heroine, lives under a bridge and has been attacking people since he was 14.

I think I could cure those guys too, but then again I am good with that pysch shit. All I need is some car batteries, jumper cables, and immunity from prosecution and I could cure just about anything from chain smoking to serial killers. Forget the meds! It's not about the dosage, it's about the voltage.

Ralphie May
 

in case people were wondering about the latest fat comedian to enter the scene...

Although he didn't win, post-Last Comic Standing, comedian Ralphie May is doing well: He has a DVD coming out ("the first double-disc for a comedian"), a sit-com development deal, and a gig on the Strip in Las Vegas. He tells the Las-Vegas Review Journal that "after the show, I became that family at Christmas that gets robbed, and the whole community comes together and builds them a house." Until Nov. 16, he's headlining a show at the Sahara that will also feature fellow contestants Ant and Rob Cantrell, in addition to Lahna Turner, Ralphie's girlfriend. After the show ends, he'll undergo gastric bypass surgery. [realityblurred.com]

He must have shed the mink coat at mile 19.

So instead of locking up the deviants, we put them to work doing what they enjoy?

Criminal Element
 

Just catching up


Run-ins with illegal shit/crime (in no particular order)

1. Unconsensual sexual activity combined with a minor beating.
2. Was involved in a DEA sting. Thank god the dumbass in the back seat with me claimed all the shit because the agents were ready to take me to where a "matron" could do a search <shudder> if they found anything else in the car.
3. Numerous bar/club/concert/sporting event fights.
4. Jumped and beaten more than a few times -- never for money though.
5. Dated a guy who was one of the many pit stops for drugs between Canada and the streets of America. You see some interesting shit that makes you never ever ever want to do drugs again (at least anything that gets mixed, cut or made in a lab).
6. Fleeing and eluding.
7. One riot event where the cops actually closed down a numer of city blocks to control it. I fled from that one kinda early on when I noticed blunt instruments being used and knew guns were not far behind.
8. Some other minor shit. Some of it in Canada and some of it here. That Canadian shit is scary when you realize that they don't give a crap that you are American.

No criminal record. No actual arrests. Then I turned 18, started college and grew up.

Dude, you crack me up. I was trying to explain your moniker/avatar to the Mr. over the weekend, in connection with a discussion we were having over Salic law and the significance of the Merovingians generally (don't ask).

Suffice it to say, we ended up spending the rest of the weekend looking at each other and saying "Fetch me stronger ale! And some plump succulent babies to eat!" and cracking our shit up.
