He was good in High Fidelity, but only b/c he was underexposed.

Can someone please PM Shapey and explain this concept?

You're doing it wrong again.

Half the fun is eating crab at a picnic table that's been covered with newspaper, drinking keg beer from a plastic cup, and getting absolultely filthy.

I'm doing it right, because i still get absolutely filthy. Perfectly happy with the keg beer, though. In fact, if it's Pabst Blue Ribbon, I can use it to wash my hands.

BTW, what's the other half of the fun?

When I was a kid, my dad used to pick up crabs by the bushel some place in Delaware. Those were some of the best nights of my childhood, sitting in the backyard, making a mess.

Your dad let you drink keg beer? Yeah, that was a good childhood.

And NY guys- Why replace Yankee Stadium? That's a horrible idea.

The bigger question I have is, if you're going to replace Yankee stadium, why would you build the new one next door? Because the "Manhattan Zoo" doesn't have quite the same ring?

• Probation for naked interviewer
  
  
  A man who tried to conduct a job interview naked has been sentenced to three years' probation and placed on the sex offenders' register.
  
  Glasgow Sheriff Court was told that Saeed Akbar, a manager at an interpreting and translation company, "had wanted a bit of excitement".
  
  Sheriff Brian Lockhart described the behaviour as "wholly unacceptable".
  
  Akbar, 35, left the interview room and came back in to speak to his female victim naked and clutching a clipboard.
  
  When the job candidate refused to strip as well, he put his clothes on and attempted to continue the interview as normal, the court was told.
  
  Akbar, from Fife, said: "I wanted a bit of excitement that afternoon, that's purely all it was."
  
  'Safety fears'
  
  Passing sentence, Sheriff Lockhart said Akbar's partner had now left him, he had lost his job and his friends refused to associate with him.
  
  Referring to the 25-year-old victim, he added: "I can really understand how the police report describes her as extremely distressed, intimidated and fearful for her personal safety.
  
  "I understand that you now accept that she would not know your thoughts and appreciate that she did in fact, fear being harmed by you in a sexual manner.
  
  I have to take into account the catastrophic effect this incident has had on your life.
  
  "On the one hand, I have to take into account the distress which you caused your victim.
  
  "On the other hand, I have to take into account the catastrophic effect this incident has had on your life. You have suffered severely as a result of your actions."
  
  The father-of-one, from Dunfermline had pleaded guilty to committing a breach of the peace.
  
  He worked at Alpha Translating and Interpreting Services in Glasgow, which advertised for a translator.
  
  The woman answered the advert and was invited to attend an interview at the firm's Glasgow office the following day.
  
  When she arrived, Akbar - who was held in "high esteem" by his company - asked if she would mind if they took their clothes off.
  
  The £25,000 per-year executive tried to restart the interview after putting his clothes back on, but his victim fled and reported the matter to police.
  
  He initially told police his strip was a consensual "role play" as part of his "tough interviewing technique".
  
  Aamer Anwar, defending, said: "He totally accepts his guilt. It was a serious abuse of his position as he foolishly believed the complainer was interested in him."

That everyone else around you is drinking beer and getting filthy. It's all about the company and the atmosphere.

I don't have it anymore…..I've got the ability to log-on and create new socks but I don't have the creative guts anymore. I realized that early in LawTalkers history. I was desperate to sock, man I would have done anything to blow another patentpara or chris by y’all again.

And I'm sorry I let everybody down (Hi Thurgreed!), but I just can't do this no more. I can't lie to myself or y’all, I'm not going to embarrass the Board or the history of the GAs anymore. This is just my ending. That's it. It's finished. I don’t have it in my heart anymore. I don't have the creativity to sock on this Board.

I don't want to disrespect the SKEK’s legacy or the OBE. I'm sorry for the newbers who post here and have never experienced entertaining socks. I wish I could have done better, but it's time to move on with my life, re-focus my Greed, be a father and take care of my children. My career as a sockist has been over since the mid-skool days of Infirm, and now I'm not interested in sockposting anymore.

If I can't amuse Less, I can't amuse anyone.

I don't believe I can unjump the shark, and to be frank (no offense) I don't have anything to sock for anymore. When I first started I had nothing. I wanted a RMS and some quarterly boni.

Then I wanted Ks. Later socks.

I don't want Ks or socks anymore. At one point I thought life was about acquiring Ks and socks. But as life goes on we lose more K races and more of our socks get banned than we gain. I have wealth of a sock legacy and the only 100K post. I don't have quarterly boni but I have a great life. I'm not trying to screw any FBetties, I'm just trying to stay balanced in the face of another 2500 billable hour year. And I want to do something that helps someone while at the same time feeding my greed. I have to be helping. I would like to be contributing to something (Hi again Thurgreed) to the ownership society.

But I'll never be successful on this Board. I have to go somewhere else, maybe Infirm, maybe Yahoo, maybe liveblog, maybe the DU, but I don't think I'm going to do too well on this Board because I'm stigmatatized.

I have to deal in the real. I may be a bizarre sockphreak sometimes but I'm a natural. I understand my situation. I don't want to lose to my identity to the socks. I just want to be a GA who is fully aware of his situations and who is happy sockless (no pun intended).

And basically this is it, I'm not interested in multiple pro-longed swansock songs. As Less’ post shows, I'm not too Q friendly anymore.

As for Shapeshifter, Slave, Paigow, Nut Penske et al, save your tears. I don't know how to handle people crying, I am a cold, cruel and hard socker. You must not be sensitive when it comes to me or my socks.

No, no, no applause. Shut the fuck up, all that sockfanfare is bullshite, I'm just a GA handling all my situations. I don't need anybody homage socking me. Please. People have given me enough homage socks in my life. Don't sock after me. I've been banned and deleted every way a socker can be. I'm as hard and cold as a washed up sock gets.

Peace.out.

eta:if you are on Yahoo IM and we don't already talk, let me know that too.

You're overdoing it.

See if you see this 5 years AFTER they replace it with a sterile new
Place.

Oh, I don't mind Wrigley -- I just don't think it's holy ground. It's the neighborhood that makes it great.

The one that Spanky wont get is that the cougars are more likely to go after the cats than the deer.

That quite possibly was the funniest thread ever. I advise everyone to check out the SF/SV Board if they have not done so already. Less, you need to talk spanky into posting over here. Hell, a repost of the Buck eating the Apple is good enough.

I think the payoff is better for crawfish than crabs but it's probably a regional thing.

Since my mama makes the best seafood gumbo in the whole wide world, I figure any crab that doesn't end up in gumbo died in vain.
