Fashionistas you have arrived 3-25-03 - 10-3-03

I caught all of the following last night --

Sorority Life season premiere -- I cannot buy that a senior in college would seriously put herself through the rush/pledge process and bullshit for only one semester of "sisterhood". The woman who is doing it says that is common in black fraternities/sororities (because it is thought of as a life-long bond). Anyone know if this is true? Seems to me more likely that she wanted her mug on tv.

Fraternity Life season premiere -- I didn't get into this show last year, but this season actually looks kinda interesting to me. I liked that the brothers sent a spy in to see what the pledges really thought about rushing. Obviously the gay guy will get a bid despite the pledge of the guy with multiple face piercings that he won't let the guy in "his" fraternity.

Real World/Road Rules Challenge preview -- looks like more of the same old bickering and drama. Sign me up!

Newlyweds -- The spoiled freaks seemed more normal than usual while visiting Cincinnati.


All this, and I watched the Raiders get decimated by the Broncos at the same time. Multitasking.

You can imagine the crush of disappointment I felt when I read the post and then read the author. I think I may have to use that post as the gleaming example of what it takes to be Bilmore of the day. not tht people should be competing for this as I have already explained.

We all have our roles to play here, and it's comforting to see so many adhering so religiously to script.

Timmy says: the Broncos destroyed 10% of the Raiders?

I had friends pledge Omega when they were in law school and the OM was recruited heavily by the Kappas throughout his time in college. If they thought they could get him now, they would still try. They have a special graduate membership, though I cannot remember what it is called.

BTW... I got creamed this week playing fast and loose with other people's words. I'm still smarting. Judge got sooo fucking serious on my ass. This field can be sooo fucking gay. Everyone takes everything so toolishly serious. Its all just silly paper pushing and throwing words about in the air.

Yeah. I hate it when that happens. I mean, so freaking what that Piggly-Wiggly has millions (well, ok, thousands...uh, fine, hundreds -- happy?) of dollars at stake when I go into a trial. So what if I say in opening that "any moron blind enough not to see moldy banana goo on the floor by aisle two deserves what he gets"? Or that I insert the word "not" into the causation portion of the transcript of the plaintiff's expert's depo?

Judges. They can be so anal about that stuff.

Not Bob,

I believe the proper expression is "sooo f-ing anal."

Thanks, Tim. Dictionary.com says --

dec·i·mate ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ds-mt)
tr.v. dec·i·mat·ed, dec·i·mat·ing, dec·i·mates
1. To destroy or kill a large part of (a group).
Usage Problem.
To inflict great destruction or damage on: The fawns decimated my rose bushes.
2. To reduce markedly in amount: a profligate heir who decimated his trust fund.
3. To select by lot and kill one in every ten of.


I guess I was loosely using meaning one. But thanks for broadening my knowledge of the background of the word...

Of course, a true Timmy knows that you can only decimate your own ranks, not your opponents.

No no, I think you Timmied my Timmy. Nicely done.

When talking about sports, you should feel free to use words improperly, like ironic. Or make them up, like trickeration. It's all part of the game.

You may also do this in the courtroom, if you're a cool cat.

and I have to ask, did your pied piper of cows experience convert you to a non cow eater?

No, but after listening to a recent discussion on the Food Revolution, I may start. How can I get meat that isn't from the U.S.? I don't want all those 'roids and antibiotics and growth hormones in my meat. Is free range the answer, or is that meat juiced up as well?

I love this new role you have of SD monitor. I am enjoying it so much that I started to post something about how great it was to see a "lawyers are losers who play Dungeons andDragons " rant by SD when I realized I would be stepping on your turf. I applaud your work in this area for its humor and originality, and also for its backdoor tribute to a classic poster. Much like my Bilmore award, yet totally not like it at all. I think you should take it to the next level, whatever that is, and only you can decide. Because you are Not Derivative and funny. Gcubed could learn a thing or ten from you, madam. Keep up the good work and dont you start phoning it in.

Some British or Canadian meat is more appealing?

There are lots of antibiotic-free farms in the US. E.g., Niman Ranch and Georgetown Farm. You could mail order or find a store that sells their stuff.
