Eagles should bring back Vince Papale. To play. No RBs and no WRS does a very sucky team make. I thought about dressing up in a TO jersey and going there.

Lincoln Field is awesome. The crab fries are more addicive than crack.

Funniest day of my life was going to the Seattle -- Eagles Monday night game last year in a snowstorm. Was fucking 21 nothing before I got to my seat.

I am not a homer but I like the Jints. Not to go all the way, but at least to run through the div.

Carolina, Tampa, CHI also beckon.

I kind of like it. Although there is no one who has or ever would say that to her, ever, in her entire life,* it is fun to imagine how she could have mistaken an unrelated statement for a compliment.

Banker: Is it hot in here, or is it just me?
ppnyc: Ohmigod! Are you suggesting I make you hot or that I just am hot?

Sbux patron: Excuse me.
ppnyc: Ohmigod, you perv! If you want some of these 38Es, you can just forget it!

Attorney: Copy this.
ppnyc: (Did you see that? He can't stop coming over here and giving me attention. Yesterday he asked me if I did something to my head. Although I had just walked into a door, I think he was talking about my hair.)

Guy at bar, looking at his wine: Nice legs.

Don't say "I'm a lawyer." I would say "I do complex patent prosecution and litigation for very large corporate clients...." you might say "i do high-level medical legal work trying to get fair coverage for underpriveleged individuals." or whatever it is you do. i am not encouraging you to lie.

What you want to do is convince one of the two lawyers that because you do more complex law than they do, and/or you have a bias for/against little guys, they do not want you on their jury.

Better yet, every time the defendant's lawyer talks look away and whenever the plaintiff's lawyer talks say "Ch-ching!"

Ask these three questions:

1. Can we award more than the plaintiff asks for?

2. Does it really matter since the insurance company pays for it all anyway?

3. Why should the plaintiff win the lottery? I have to go back to work after this trial.

Just so you know, every time you use "Indeed." on the FB I receive $.02. I Invented it. Ask Penske if you don't believe me. I also invented "Carry on." pre-Project Runway. You wouldn't believe the royalties I get from Tim Gunn.
