I'm kidding about myself but I bet S&R would have it stuffed and put in their house or their theater. I did some deals with a Skadden partner (you lurking Skaddenites in the NYC office know who I mean) whose office is like a freaking taxidermy exhibit. The skin of one lion he shot is on his conference table, another lion is stuffed and standing in a case, and he has a leopard lounging on the wall on a branch. Not to mention at least a dozen heads and skulls on the walls.

I suggested that perhaps his next safari should be of the photo variety so there would be animals left when I finally get to Africa.

What a sick fuck. Why would someone think it is nice home furnishing to have a bunch of stuffed bodies hanging around the office/den/whatnot? To me it is not a far cry from the Dahmer refrigerator. I want to look at the expression of an animal in its last second of life before soe asshole from NYC on a small dick trip decides to murder it for fun? I am now going to apply to work there so I can secretly infitrate his life and ruin it. If I am really on a roll, I poison his coffee and then have his head chopped off for a nice wall decoreation and have him skinned for a nice rug.

I used to be able to go into a bar when the world got too confusing, but if even that last refuge has people taking fucking brandy and making it SOUR, I may not leave my manse again.

*stingers and alexanders don't make sense and are limited to fringe groups (college freshmen)- people are talking about this as if it makes sense.

Don't make promises you cannot keep.

Now, now, don't you worry your pretty little head. We'll mix you up a nice comfy Mojito that you can sip in front of the TV this evening. You can watch Three's Company re-runs and pretend that everything is still O.K. in the world.

Do you know if there is an old one on tonight, or a new one? I can't watch the newer ones.
See, early in my legal career, I realized I was Barney Fife, I was swaggering and pompous, but when a tough issue came up, I'd over-react, fumbling for the Motion equivalent of the rationed single bullet in my shirt pocket. I was forever getting trapped by the opposition into corners that were leading to summary dismissal, and then my benevolent supervisor would have to rescue me. But the cool thing was, just like Barney, my supervisor was always careful to not make me look bad. And just like Barney, at the end of each episode, I still had my job.

When I see Mr. Furley, though, the comfort that Don Knotts brings to my young life, threatens to become nightmarish by middle age. I'd rather see a Welcome Back Kotter, thank you.

It has come to my attention that I was the last to post on the old, now-defunct FB. Nobody told me I was supposed to turn out the lights and lock the door. I'm sorry that my negligence broke the board. I shouldn't be allowed to handle valuable things.

In thher news, Courtney Love is self-destructing again. http://www.boston.com/ae/music/artic..._it_this_time/

Question: Is this really news?

edited to add: Holy Shit! Kurt Cobain's kid is 11! As in ELEVEN!!!!! Fuck. I'm old.

Sheesh, pay the ticket and quit wasting my time you moron.

My favorite was always the people who fought the speeding tickets by telling the judge that their car wouldn't go that fast.

Oh, yeah, THAT'S gonna fly.

Actually, if you want to get truly morbid, ABC is running the final John Ritter episode of 8 Simple Rules tonight. I'm not sure if they're going to run the footage of him collapsing on the set or not, though.

IF they kill him for following his instincts, I will be really troubled, giving that he is part of an endangered species. And they say the fate of the other 63 is uncertain. Where do they live anyway? Roaming a pen outside of Vegas?

Don't get yer panties in a bunch. I just heard this morning that
S & R themselves are taking measures to ensure all of their animals' safety. I guess Roy is huge in some effort worldwide to save endangered tigers. Their manager said Montecore is in
S & R's compound in his usual place. They also interviewed the manager of the Bronx Zoo, who advised that the tiger would not be destroyed because he did not do anything to indicate that he is any more a danger than any other tiger. This isn't like a rabid dog situation where a child could be mauled by approaching an animal the child would think harmless. We're talking a tiger here.

The most disturbing thing about this whole incident is that (a) I somehow allowed the above facts to enter my head, and (b) I now know what S & R and their act look like. They resemble David Guest and the singer from Whitesnake wearing capes and playing with cats.

Actually the most troubling thing is that you appear to have read Paigow's post. I thought you were going to continue posting without ever reading. I think the other posters will mainly agree with me that we were looking forward to the random topic changes.

You cannot just say "Poll!" and expect me to magically appear and post one.

Hey, that is exactly what you thought, isn't it?

And then I appeared.

This is creepy.

But, post your own damn poll topic.

I don't know if Bilmore has, but I have. And it had a sweet 351 Cleveland stuffed in it. I don't recall seeing Bilmore in the car, we were going so fast that everything was a freaking blur (yeah, that's why). Can we talk about cars now? It sure has been a while since we have.
