I knew you had a bias. Do cougars meow?

As for the shirt thing, I like that look on a (cute) guy.

Me too. I'm thinking a cross between Jesus (longer hair, sort of disheveled) and PLF (hipster, of course).

So does that describe your bf?

eta that now there will be a rash of male lawyers across the country growing out their hair and pushing business casual to the limits by putting short sleeves over long sleeves. The horror. Next you will be advocating that they wear shorts, dark socks, and those gladiator sandals to complete the ensemble.

Trust me on this one. It's sort of science trivia, and we'd get in trouble if we submit the question to the Board Thursday. He had a tongue experience, and decided he didn't want a good night kiss. i'm merely suggesting we try and grow form that post, and deal with this new situation in an inventive way.

Did he refuse to shake hands with the one who digitally inspected him?

I'm watching the OC - sort of - and Peter Gallagher's character just said "Four years at Berkeley Law [and something like I end up doing this shit]."

I was waiting for him to explain that he earned a joint degree and that he never really liked the sound of "Boalt," but the moment never came. I am distressed at the poor quality of fact checking on this show. It's worse than the time that Carol on ER woke up on a Thursday in January and pondered whether or not she ought to take the MCAT that day. Where is the realism, people?

Another example of poor research by "The O.C." staff... In one of the early episodes, Jimmy is on the couch watching TV and his wife comes in and asks what he is watching. He says he's watching the 1986 Finals on ESPN Classic between the Lakers and Pistons. Any fan at a sports bar will tell you that the '86 NBA Finals were between the Rockets and Celtics. The Lakers and Pistons didn't meet in the Finals until 1988 (Lakers won), and again in '89, the series which launched the Bad Boys dynasty.

Why would you bother to make such a reference if you don't check your facts? Fox must have like a million writers on staff, and they obviously aren't busy working on plotlines for this show.

To the guys who have been with women with breast implants, if you care to expound, please let me know your thoughts. Do you:

A) Hate Fake Tits;

B) Love Fake Tits; or

C) Think that tits are tits and you love to touch, suck and/or tittie-fuck them whether they are real or fake.

Please specify whether saline or silicone.

TIA.

(C) for me... I'm a tit man, be they fake or real. Silicone tends to be more realistic-looking, imho, since the saline ones tend to "ripple" unless they are placed below the muscle, which is a more intrusive surgery and limits the potential size gain.

I will say that a bad boob job is hideous even to me. Obvious scars and a foot of cleavage are none too appealing.

If I were forced to choose between (A) or (B), I would pick the latter, since I am also somewhat of a leg man, which is usually mutually exclusive to my tit fetish. Barbie don't come without some help.

It's worse than you think. Even people who went there undergrad do not call it "Berkeley." They call it "Cal."* It's the people who did not go to Cal who tend to call it "Berkeley" or "Yoo See Berkeley."** Of course, I'm not in a position to complain. People who attended my undergraduate school have a pretentious nomenclature that essentially constitutes a secret code for "I am a self-satisfied asshole/I went to ______." As you know, I rely instead on tone to establish the same effect.

*According to this thinking, there is only one University of California. Thus, it is unnecessary to refer to it by its location. The rest are branch offices, which of course require place-names.

**Admittedly, this is subtle. It's only glaring to the natives, like a purported Southland native who doesn't use the definite article before a highway or route number. "The 405." "The 110."

Quite true, though I (a mere outsider) and others I knew always referred to it as "Cal" growing up, since that's how the sports uniforms read -- most notably the football helmets. I do believe such reference by the general public is limited to the sports context, however.

Ironically, I had to look at the website the other day, as a sibling is applying to grad school there... I figured the mostly logical domain name would be "ucberkeley.edu" but go figure, it is merely "berkeley.edu"

I will toss my vagina into the ring.

I saw this week's episode finally and it was one of the funniest ones ever, no? You got a blind guy, four retards, and a woman in full muslim regalia. what other show would dare to poke fun at these people? "now i know what happened to the sunscreen". priceless. and that doesnt cover "driving Mister Larry". anyone else still have complaints about this season?

Because I apparently have an excellent memory for horrifying gross stuff, I feel compelled to note that raouaouaouaoaoal's gf did not upset him by putting her tongue up his ass. She upset him by putting a finger up there.

Unless I missed a separate story involving a tongue, in which case I feel fortunate.

and he was only upset bc he drank a lot of cheap beer and feared he wouldnt be very tiddy.

I hate Ben Stiller, especially in the last 10 years, so his irritating mugging has annoyed me all season.

This is an article entitled: West Publishing Fires and Sues FindLaw Co-Founder Tim Stanley

No wonder no one seemed to be in control of anything around the time of the split. What a mess.


Here's the beginning of the article

If you accept declarations by West executives in three courts, West fired Stanley on April 7, 2003. West and Stanley signed a Separation Agreement. Since then, West sued Stanley over the agreement in federal court in Nevada. Stanley objected to jurisdiction in Nevada and said the issues belong before the courts of California. Stanley filed an action in state court in California. The Nevada court declined to give West an injunction against Stanley. West dismissed in Nevada and re-filed essentially the same complaint in federal court in Minnesota. On January 7, 2004, the court in Minnesota issued a temporary injunction against Stanley that shut down justia.com. According to West, justia.com is "for all intents and purposes FindLaw II,"2 and as such violates Stanley's covenant not to compete with West. West moved to stay Stanley's California action and leave matters in the hands of the Minnesota court.

This article relates what can be reported now about the litigation. Because the sequence of events may be revealing of their meaning, this article's basic structure is chronological rather than logical. At stages in the sequence, this article collates relevant facts, allegations, arguments, excerpts from the corpus of lawsuit papers in the three courts and information from other public records and the internet. This article uses many quotations of the parties despite the fact that this suffers the disadvantages of lacking brevity and narrative smoothness, but it enjoys the advantage of letting each party have their say their way. (Usually it will be obvious which party is speaking, and the footnotes combined with reference to the Table of Abbreviations specify each source.) Along the way, I give a few tentative assessments.

My complaints were more fears of creepy complacency. The last episode was great, but I'm still worried.
The Muslim woman was very nice, as were the mentally handicaped(ixnay on "retard" Ty/Atticus yell at people who say that on Politics). Plus, in solid casting, Muslim lady was played by Moon Zappa.
I like when Hollywood hires an ugly to play ugly (even inferential ugly). why hire Charize theron to play fat and dishealved, when there are plenty of stars already at the bottom of a drug problem spiral?
