In one of the most downloaded videos on the web currently, Jamie Bamber drops his towel.

Spree - safe for work except he says "ass." And he appears to have a nice one.

I thought she gave her a bag of Doritos.

It's possible that I've seen that once or twice before.

I didn't say anything about the snagging. I'm sure you'll be fine with the snagging. It's the standing in line and the prying of cold, dead hands that you're going to have to deal with.

There are no dismal depths to which they will not sink. I hate them all. Present company excepted, of course. Mostly.

So we serve a non-party document subpoena in one of my cases, short return date but the non-party agreed not to object so we could get the documents earlier. Our adversary, however, objects mightily and faxes me a letter at 3 AM in the morning, demanding it be withdrawn, etc. I, of course, ignore it when I finally get around to reading it. His whole firm (pretty big, actually) is chock full of assholes anyway.

The afternoon of the same day this guy calls and says he is heading down to court for a TRO, order to show cause, writ of hocus pocus (hi Hank!) and all other necessary and appropriate relief. But this time, it's personal.

Why? Because apparently his father is ill with cancer, lying in the hospital and without long to live. And the fact that I served a subpoena on short notice meant that my poor suffering adversary had to stay up all night writing his stupid letter (and an equally worthless set of papers, which I received later), instead of being with his dying father. This is all my fault. I have separated a son from his dying father with my improper subpoena duces tecum and now, hoo boy, the gloves are off. Shock, outrage, scandal, sanctions, reporting to the ethics committee, disbarment, etc., all being threatened down the phone.

So I ask you:

(1) what kind of a shitty firm can't find someone to cover for a guy whose father is dying of cancer and genuinely needs his son by his side?

(2) what kind of a shitty human being doesn't tell his partners to shove it if he needs to be with his family so badly?

(3) what kind of a douchebag brings this topic up with his opposing counsel in the context of a piddling discovery dispute?

For the record, I was as gracious as I could be. And later on, he apologized for his outburst. But fuck me, lawyers are pathetic, weak and despicable. Present company excepted, of course. Mostly.

And now we can all enjoy.

Oh yeah, and because we've apparently run out of sexy men, this guy is sexiest man alive for the 9 millionth time.

That would have been nice. In my mind these are cool ranch Doritos, not the cheesy kind. That was really thoughtful of BRC since in my mind the old lady was hungry.

OK, this has got to be the stupidest pose for a photograph for all time. What the hell.



And he's not sexy. To anyone over 14.

And otherwise sexy Johnny has one too many tattoos in this picture.

The kids on the playground who most often got the shit beaten out of them. That's lawyers.

Present company excluded.*

*Though I have gotten my ticket punched a couple times (more than deserved them all).

Tell her I said she has a nice arse.

I like his Wino Forever tattoo. In fact, I have a suggestion for a certain someone with the initials ABBAKiss for her spiral belly button tattoo.

I think the "Wino Forever" tattoo is a nice cautionary tale for those thinking about declaring their love to another person in ink on their bodies.

I also think it's cool that he got the sparrow tattooed on his forearm, but then I'm not put off by tattoos.

I usually think he's completely and utterly sexy, but there is something that picture that leaves me flat. Maybe it's the wifebeater and/or the photographic angle, which is making him look narrower than he is. Or the necklace.

Survey: men in jewelry? Ever?

Part of the reason I have quasi-checked out. The law is fine, lawyers aren't. And the added benefit of doing part-time work is that it is mostly project-based, so I don't deal with opposing counsel or clients that much. I just do what I'm told.

Speaking of which, I am planning on being in NYC for the New Year's Eve weekend, if anyone is around to debauch with.
