Aura in Calhoun Square? Hmmm. Oh, alright, but only because it's the holidays.

I can see that.

Apropos of nothing, I was discussing Key West with someone the other day and concluded that Key West bums have a better life than mine.

you are truly bitter about the jelly of the month club, eh?

If I ever get sent up the river, here's what I'm going do........ on the bus going there, I'm going to hold everything in, then when I'm released into general population, I'm going to find the meanest biggest guy. I'll walk right up to him, lift my right leg and blow the longest fart right at him.

Mother fuckers will give me space after that.

• Flatulence Allegedly Sparks Jail Brawl
  NORTH PLATTE, Neb. —
  
  Bruggeman, of Hershey, is serving a 90-day sentence for violating a protection order.
  
  Brian Bruggeman caused a stink at the Lincoln County Jail earlier this month and will now have to answer for it in court. Another inmate, Jesse Dorris, alleges that Bruggeman's flatulence, passed in close proximity to Dorris, sparked a Dec. 14 fight between the two at the jail.
  
  Now Bruggeman, 38, faces a Jan. 11 preliminary hearing on the state's complaint of assault by a confined person. It's a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
  
  Bruggeman is accused of injuring Dorris, his cellmate, when he pushed him into cell bars. Dorris, 26, was not charged.
  
  The two began scuffling, County Attorney Jeff Meyer said Tuesday, because Dorris was fed up with Bruggeman's flatulence.
  
  Jail fights are common, Meyer said, but the cause of this one was rather uncommon.
  
  "It's usually about someone hogging the newspaper or someone not happy about what's on TV," he said.
  
  "He compounded his problems," Meyer said.
  
  Dorris, of North Platte, is awaiting a January trial on a charge of aiding and abetting robbery.
  
  Brad Dawson, Bruggeman's attorney, did not immediately return a phone message left at his office.
  
  Sheriff Jerome Kramer said the incident was a result of overcrowding. The jail was built in 1933 and has a capacity of 23 inmates, according to 2006 standards, Kramer said. As many as 65 inmates have been lodged at the jail in recent days, he said.
  
  "You just can't get a reprieve from one another," Kramer said. "When you've got a guy causing problems passing gas, there's no way to get away from the smell."

Attila the Hun wasn't Hungarian. Hungarians are of central asian descent. They are not slavic.

No google or wiki - I think I'm right, but not positive.

ETA: I've checked wiki. Huns were not Hungarians, who were/are Magyars.

One widely accepted theory is that the Magyars migrated from Northern Europe, based on the linguistic similarities of Hungarian to Finnish. FWIW, the Wikipedia section sited below seems more mixed about the validity of this theory than Hungarians I met recently when I visited Budapest.


Wikipedia on Magyars

The Huns were Mongols, from the steppes of Central Asia. They settled in what is now pretty much everywhere from the Steppe into Central Europe, Southern Asia, and Northern India. Along the way, their descendants intermarried with Romans, Magyars, and other ethnic groups in Hungary and Romania. They intermarried with Aryans in Iran and Afghanistan and India, and eventually developed into the Roma people, who subsequently migrated into Eastern and Central Europe.

That may be somewhat oversimplified.

Opposing counsel: O.K. [slight pause] When I say O.K., I mean that I heard and understood what you were saying, but not that I necessarily agree with it.


The worst part is that my immediate internal reaction was "Ah, yes, he was smart to clarify that for me." I feel like I need to dip my head in a bucket of liquid lysergic acid.

When I non-consentually peed in the arresting officer's desk drawer he realized that sending me to the stir would only cause bigger problems for his bretheren in the prison police force. That was when they dropped the charges and let me go.....

that's what "okay" means in Japan. You might want to get spanky on as associate counsel to help you sort out this guy's messages.
