Hey, she LOVED Lebowski. Laughed at parts that I didn't laugh at until the 3rd viewing. I've watched that movie with others and had them sit there dumfounded and then ask me why I thought it was such a good movie. I made them leave.

Oddly enough Paigow, I went to school with A LOT a people from your Connecticut, and they weren't half as bitter or defensive as you...

My Connecticut is a magical land of happy go-lucky folks just floating through life on pink fluffy clouds whle Katrina and the Waves play in the background in some endless loop. Nicole Kidman is starring in My Connecticut soon. I think she is still filiming there. Kind of like Reese Witherspoon. I heart it so and cannot wait to return to it. It has very few defensive midwesterners who cannot commit. Actually, I am kind of surprised people from My Connecticut schooled in your flat Midwest coastless state. They usually go to the CU Boulder when they cant get into the halcyon New England colleges.

Egad. I am dating myself. Oh, wait -- all y'all know already that I am old. Nevermind.

I saw that Who tour too. It was actually my first big stadium concert.

The guy sitting in front of me smoked a lot of something and threw up and passed out just as the opening act (which I think was Santana) finished up.

Yeah, I'm old too.

Only in print. Anyone who listens close enough to someone who says, "Hand me that Redwell" to correct that person or even have it bother them is a fucking loser.

This should be a new poll: worst client behavior traits.

This is from an in-house perspective.

Blame shifting and complete failure of anyone to take the ball and run with it.
Doing things, getting in trouble and THEN considering talking to the lawyers about it, when we could have easily told them not to do it in the first place. They don't even have to pay us for the consult. Of course, when they do talk to us and dont' like the answer we give, they go and do it anyways.
Broken record syndrome.
Being blamed for shortcomings in revenue.
Failure to read anything that comes out of this office unless it is in a one-page, bullet pointed executive summary. And then it's just a cursory glance. God help me if I'm actually asking people to do something.

I will note that my brother recently complained of every single thing on mmmmmmmmm's list, and he's an architect, so I'm guessing that clients in general are a pain in the ass.

Don't blame Wonk, you could have stayed in the trundle bed in my room. You blinked.

So, they're Redwelds (TM)? That makes me think of some little dude sitting somewhere with a little welding torch and going to town on a bunch of red folders. But they're not really that strong. Mine always break after I cram them too full of shit.

Hank Chinaski · 11-20-2003, 12:04 PM

now and then I'll see a great marketing technique, but it just wouldn't fit "the real me", you know, just not something I'd feel comfortable doing. Some of you may be able to use this technique to sell, not me. On the other hand I'd like to know if she decdies to sell the globe.

You know when you want to (or can) object when opposing counsel is recrossing b/c of scope, but you don't b/c the atty is completely making your argument? You just sit back, put your hands back behind your head and smile. The judge looks over at you and lifts his eyebrows b/c he knows that you know that the other atty is shooting herself in the foot. You look back at the judge and shake your head ever so slightly, silently showing him that you're actually beginning to feel sorry for her. And you really do. But what can you do? You're zealous. All the while your witness is smirking as he continues to knock softballs out of the park...

Didn't you invent stabbing? I mean seriously, I thought you came up with it. Or is it now so November 10, 2003?

He's probably just enjoying the building wave of affection, milking it for all it's worth, preparing for his encore...

(FWIW, I HATE when bands do that and drag it out forever...)

Here's my favorite recent Bilmore post, from the Mommy/Daddy board:

Plus, there's no way my parents would sign that release form.

So now that the word "phat" has been played out many times over, can we (the world) retire it? I heard this term (spelled out for me) in 1993 for god's sake...from a white person. While we were making fake IDs...the old fashioned way...

Speaking of terms and phrases that need to be retired, how about "Don't go there"? Anyone who says this should be taken there, beaten and shot with two to the dome.

I note that you have violated my TM, TM. I am sending the bill.

As of last night, that is, "Hand me that Redwell ^TM".
