Earlier today, I got on an up escalator without pulling my suitcase in far enough to clear the handrails. I was absentmindedly holding the handle and I fell over backwards when the suitcase caught. Fortunately, nobody saw me.

So I fumed for a while, and considered whether I ought to get more confrontational, but decided instead to stomp on her bag with my feet, ruining the leather and crushing all of her precious crap that couldn't go in the overhead bin.

That is so hot.

I am a fan of fun bags. Not very sturdy, but they're easy to manipulate and travel well.

Confidential to Sebby: Just sell the damn expensive luggage on Ebay, buy a bunch of liquor and stay drunk until Memorial Day.

I am far too nice to service industry trolls who deserve to be ripped a new one, at least until they keep it up (i.e. being nice didn't work).

A little-known and long forgotten fact is that Bunny interned with an ALJ at the DOT during her younger years....he was a swell dude, but man are you guys giving me bad flashbacks...please stop. It took me a long time to get over flying on airlines for which I had to review FAR compliance breaches.

First or second year, sitting in a setlement conference with GP Mc______, opposing counsel and a relatively new clinton appointed D. Ct. Judge, who had been a big Civil rights lawyer here.

she asks Mc____ what our client is willing to pay.Mc___ says "your honor, there is no liability, he should not have to pay"

judgie say "Mr. Mc___surely your client does not expect to get out of this Scot free"

Mc__" ignoring the ethnic slur, your honor,we don't believe there's liability"

after that judge was on our side- Yeah!

point is, be careful when you say scot free- it is an ethnic insult.

This was my second-favorite Ethnic POTD.

RP got first and third. Although there's still three and a half hours left in the day.


eta: Sorry, Hank, but maybe if you keep at it.

(LC owns the Tigers too). It usually doesn't come up, so it didn't seem necessary to mention. Try again next game.

Harumpf. Fucking Red Wings.

And I am so glad to see that Not One of the teams I have been pulling for/predicted have won a game thus far in the playoffs. That's gotta be some sort of sign from the Hockey Gods to keep my Not Canadian mouth shut.

Note to those in Vegas, baby: go to the sports book, and bet againt my picks.

Actors Whip Easter Bunny at Church Show
Thu Apr 8,11:08 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!



GLASSPORT, Pa. - First, the Passion of the Christ. Now, the torment of the Easter Bunny?



It may not have been as gruesome as Mel Gibson's movie, but many parents and children got upset when a church trying to teach about Jesus' crucifixion performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs.


People who attended Saturday's show at Glassport's memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, "There is no Easter bunny," and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified.


Melissa Salzmann, who brought her 4-year-old son J.T., said the program was inappropriate for young children. "He was crying and asking me why the bunny was being whipped," Salzmann said.


Patty Bickerton, the youth minister at Glassport Assembly of God, said the performance wasn't meant to be offensive. Bickerton portrayed the Easter rabbit and said she tried to act with a tone of irreverence.


"The program was for all ages, not just the kids. We wanted to convey that Easter is not just about the Easter bunny, it is about Jesus Christ," Bickerton said.


Performers broke eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt and also portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman, said Jennifer Norelli-Burke, another parent who saw the show in Glassport, a community about 10 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.


"It was very disturbing," Norelli-Burke said. "I could not believe what I saw. It wasn't anything I was expecting."

Perhaps next time, he should try going to the restaurant alone.

For some reason, by ordering the baseball season ticket package I am also getting all of the hockey playoff games.

Which meant I was able to watch the "Battle for Ontario" tonight with between-period commentary by Don Cherry. Nothing short of brilliant.

Dear misguided Hank:

The recognized origination of the term, which has nothing to do with an ethnic slur, but the non-payment of taxes (then known as a scot). It only takes a simple google search. Secondly, your GP took a stupid risk implying that the judge was using an ethnic slur. If I were that judge, I would have slapped that fool around.

The point is, don't get your irish up.
