I knew many, many so-called "hippie chicks". They were all that PLF describes, and, what's more, they were clean. I have no idea where this "hygiene" issue comes from.

Other than RobustOfficePuppy, I have no socks on this Board, so it was pretty weird. And I'm pretty sure my SO is not leading a secret life on Lawtalkers.

It seems like the equivalent of a crossed telephone wire -- something in the cookie recipe perhaps?

Anyway, be forewarned, even if you're not a sock, for technical weirdness is out there.

Would you PM me and tell me more about this please.

Yes, but I asked for my own personal one-of-a-kind Brad thong, not that it be the FB logo.

Anyway, are you guys really going to do the store? That would be cool.

Hell, I often find myself thinking that I'm Kafka Esq. or PensKe.

Yes, which again misses the point. I can't make you a one of a kind thing without making it available on the store.

Though I suppose we could make it quickly available and then take it right down. Still, selling something with his face on it, would violate copyright, since we haven't either permission to use his face or the particular image. Even selling one item.

The store works by creating the items for us, we can sell the items they have available, i.e. we can't decide to sell some random other item through the store, only what they make available. And the only way we have to create it at present is through the store.

We just tell them what image to put on any given item.

And yes, we are.

Ok Ok. No Phish. Just Panic. Less hippie. And the guy is 29 and has just discovered mushrooms for fuck's sake...

We're lawyers. Ex-law students. Of course we're gonna fuck with the hypo.

I am neither spookyfish nor Thurgreed. I am Anne. Just simple little 'ole Anne who went to her fair share of Dead shows and manged to stay clean and keep the majority of my brain cells healthy.

The reason I ask is that I am very observant (really) and I noticed that spooky's first response to TM's "you're not funny" snipe said "originally posted by Anne Elk" in the places where he was quoting Thurgreed. That's gone now because spooky deleted it.

Now I might be trying to bust a sock, or I might simply be wondering about weird code glitches. The other day I started up my home PC and when I went to the lawtalkers site (it was raining out, I swear it, and my SO was out of town, too) I found that I was logged in as somebody other than myself.

Allow me to explain. That was my fault. I am no one's sock and Anne Elk is most assuredly not mine. People seem to like her and she doesn't get poor Thurgreed riled.

That said, I was responding to Thurgreed and doing a fair amount of cutting and pasting in doing so. Apparently, Anne's name was on my clipboard from responding to a previous post of hers. When I initially responded to Thurgreed, the reply was submitted before I had intended, and the corrections to the aforementioned posting was not yet made. Anne is not me. I am not Anne. There is no reason to be alarmed. All is well. MR has nothing to worry about. The board is good.

You know, every time I see Tyrone's name, I think of the exchange between the 5-fingered man and the Prince in "The Princess Bride" when the 5-fingered man is about to enter the tree to torture Wesley, and asks if the Prince would like to come and watch.

"TyROOOAn... you know how I love watching you work, but I've got my wedding to plan, my wife to kill and Guilder to frame for it. Frankly, I'm swamped! (the word "swamped" said in a sort of high-pitched, questioning tone)"

"There, there, you get your rest... (says the 5-fingered man while patting the Prince's hand), if you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything!" (Then a loving look passes between the two of them.)

Christopher Guest and what-his-face Sarandon were hilarious in that scene (and the rest of the movie, natch.)

RP-- FWIW, maybe someone was trying to parse a quote and your name or sock was on their clipboard.

Dammit, see I didn't want to double-post, I wanted to edit. It's not you, it's me. Machines don't make mistakes, people do.

Chris Sarandon--former Mr. Susan (and I think you mean 6-fingered, right?).

Well, given that MR provided you with your avatar, and his general fondness for freehand art, I imagine you could convince him to create a one-off thong that meets your specifications.

I am speaking more of the guys. Agreed, the hippy chicks I knew/was, were basically clean. If a little too patchouli-soaked.
