"They just think I'm a strange tiger who walks on two legs."

"We watch and observe. We talk to them, take walks with them, swim with them, meditate with them. Day by day, we learn about each other. But you must have patience and respect for Mother Nature. Because when an animal gives you its trust, you feel like you have been given the most beautiful gift in the world."

Poor inbred mutant tiger Montecore had to live with sayings like these, uttered by a duo of stripperglittered manpixies, uttered on a daily basis for every one of his tormented six years. Is it any wonder that he finally snapped? Roy has been quoted as saying he wants no harm to come to Montecore as a result of the attack. But can man who says "ff-fuff, ff-fuff" as his special friendship sound really be trusted? Absolutely not. It is time to tell Fishbacher & Horn and their hired goons to just STOP IT!

I am pleased to announce the formation of the Society To Offer Protection for Inbred Tigers! (STOP IT!). Our initial aim is to free Montecore, currently being held unjustly in the F&H cult's Las Vegas compound, and reintegrate him back into society, hopefully even among Tigers of color. But Montecore is only the beginning. STOP IT! hopes to free all of the felines currently being held unconstitutionally by the F&H cult.

I post this on the lawtalkers board because of STOP IT!'s 2 urgent needs - money (feel free to IM, PM, or email your credit card information to me) and top flight legal talent. STOP IT! is seeking dynamic, energetic, and committed attorneys willing to toss aside their careers for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight to establish new feline freedoms in what is sure to be high profile, cutting edge civil and animal rights litigation. All inquiries will be kept in fairly strict confidence. Sign up today and make the F&H cult STOP IT!

Fugitives from Mexican justice need not apply.

I've now interested myself in how many "bubba" first names I've heard that I can trace back to confederate generals.

In retrospect, that was a boring exercise. And that's just generals, I didn't bother with colonels, also popular. I even left out names that I think were probably introduced here as surname-conversions around this time but were not-unheard-of first-names abroad, like Vaughn, Scott, & Marmaduke. I'll bet you are somewhat surprised that (i) some of those names are such recent innovations as first names and (ii) some of those names have been around as first names as long as they have. I was.

It's that the guy is under the impression that it is "his clan's" tartan. There are honorary tartans for all Americans, regardless of heritage, and may for state residents, too. But the Lipschitz are not a sept of the Lamonts, no matter what the clerk in the kilt shop told him.

My God. Woman, what have you done to this board? Get thee to a trailer park!


(FYI: I go by many names.)

THAT'S IT!!! Brianna is the quintessential "fake fancy" name. I was racking my brain trying to recall it, but kept coming up only with Brittany.

I have an acquaintance whose baby girl is named MacKayleigh. She was going for something "Scottish sounding." Vomit. Same goes for a client's grandson whose name is Jayden. Gramps hates it as much as I do.

My own name was quite unpopular when I was hatched, but is extremely popular now. At least when the current batch of babies are older, they won't think I have an old lady name. The Mr.'s name has always been very popular and probably always will be.

Still have no name for the fetus, but we are working on something nice and classic, but definitely not on the top of the list. Unfortunately our last name sounds bad with many perfectly good names, so choices are pretty limited.

-TL

p.s. I saw the "Madison" article and got a kick out of it.

Recent events in Harlem have demonstrated solidarity between Tigers and reptiles.

I have never downloaded music. I do not condone the practice of downloading music, but really, this isn't really a hack if it's that simple.

Oct. 7 — A Princeton University student has published instructions for disabling the new anti-copying measures being tested on CDs by BMG — and they’re as simple as holding down a computer’s Shift key.
IN A PAPER PUBLISHED on his Web site Monday, Princeton Ph.D. student John Halderman explained how he disabled a new kind of copy-protection technology, distributed as part of a new album by BMG soul artist Anthony Hamilton.
Under normal circumstances, the antipiracy software is automatically loaded onto a Windows machine whenever the Hamilton album is run in a computer’s CD drive, making traditional copying or MP3 ripping impossible. However, simply holding down the Shift key prevents Windows’ AutoRun feature from loading the copy-protection software, leaving the music free to copy, Halderman said.
The technique was confirmed by BMG and SunnComm Technologies, the small company that produces the anti-copying technology. Both companies said they had known about it before releasing the CD, and that they still believed the protection would deter most average listeners’ copying.

They underestimate people who steal.

I dunno. They were still getting fed. If the human moron stopped feeding them for a while the "solidarity" would have gone out the window...

Sadly, every jack-off in Hollywood does this. I asked around my office to see if other people in my department did so, hoping that the answer would be "no," so I could feel safe in hanging up on such offenders-of-decency. Most of my own department engages in this practice. Sigh.

No. That's unacceptable. I will not hold. I will "accidently" get cut off every single time. They'll either think the secretary is incompetent, or that I'm being a bitch. Either way, I don't care. Dial your own fucking phone.

The FCC rejected complaints from the Parents Television Council and more than 200 people, most of them associated with the council, who accused dozens of television stations of violating restrictions on obscene broadcasts by airing portions of the awards program last January.

The complaints objected to Bono's uttering the phrase "this is really, really, f------ brilliant."

The FCC, using the F-word more often to explain its decision than Bono did on the air, said the word "may be crude and offensive, but, in the context presented here, did not describe sexual or excretory organs or activities." That distinction is a key test to measure whether a statement meets a federal standard for broadcast indecency.

David Solomon, chief of the FCC's enforcement bureau, said in the ruling that Bono used the vulgarity as an adjective or to emphasize an exclamation and that "the use of specific words, including expletives or other 'four-letter words' does not render material obscene."

http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/1003/07bono.html

First: since when can you use fuck to describe excretory organs?

Second: you can say fuck as an adjective or to emphasize and not get into trouble. WTF? I thought fuck was a no-no, period.

The FCC more progressive than infirmation? Holy fucking cow.

Tenth Circuit lets Do Not Call Registry go forward pending appeal.

Apparently, Judges Seymour, Ebel and Henry combined are smarter than Judge Nottingham.

So, I did a quick search for "Abigail," and in Magnus' genealogy found 145. A few didn't have birth dates, but the breakdown is as follows:

16th Cent: 6
17th Cent: 77
18th Cent: 49
19th Cent: 0
20th Cent: 1 (my cousin's daughter, born 1998)

And yes, 90% of them lived in Massachusetts.

Edited to remove rant about the one Abigail I knew. Nobody cares that she was a psycho bitch. Ok, not remove, just tone down.

Of course, he had to charge. Even the terminally stupid know there's no such thing as free surgery.
