It refers to the shape of a stupid sock of a stupid cat of a dumb bunny.

Alternatively,

mongoloid he was a mongoloid
happier than you and me
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
and it determined what he could see
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
one chromosome too many
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
and it determined what he could see
and he wore a hat
and he had a job
and he brought home the bacon
so that no one knew
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
his friends were unaware
mongoloid he was a mongoloid
nobody even cared

Aside from the getting a job with a firm part, has anyone been questioned about this? I can't think of a time outside of getting hired that anyone has called me on my bar number or asked to see my bar card or whatever. People take what I say at face value.

And no, I obviously don't have a 4.0 from HLS.

We knew that from the tat on your thigh.

I see a bunch of bench warmers if you ask me. Just my opinion, but the kids who put up serious numbers appear to have stayed the fuck away from this disfunctional ship of defective twists.

If you have more than one person, you can compare. For example, both you and wanker have teeny tiny little pencil dicks. Nonetheless, one of you is bigger than the other. And the guy with the bigger one will feel superior to the guy with the littler one, even though both of them resemble nothing more than two inches of an albino green bean in front of a couple of garbanzo beans.

You gotta camera phone? I'll send you a money shot. You can decide for yourself.

I've always been disappointed that I don't get to flash my bar card to random people to get them to do what I want. Like Tom Cruise does with his medical license in Eyes Wide Shut.

I only use my bar card at CLEs when I need to remember what my number is so I can turn in the credit form.

That seems strange to me. And rude and racist.

Yes, on all counts. Back in the day, people used to use the term to describe those with Down's syndrome; I think the etymology is based on the quasi-epicanthic folds that some with Down's syndrome have (i.e., sort of slanty eyes). Obviously, not a term in current use (except by Sebby here, I guess).

I think, for the purpose of her example, you'd need to have someone else's money shot in the photograph too.

I'm not disputing that you can make it squirt by rubbing it between your thumb and forefinger. You'd need to include something in the picture to show scale. And how am I to know whether the ruler in the picture is really from a dollhouse?

ETA RT, if the picture had him and wanker squirting simultaneously, I still wouldn't be able to tell anything other than relative size . . .

I used to carry my bar card around for two reasons.

1. I used to visit clients in prison, and the guards at San Quentin have this ever-so-polite way of asking for your bar card when you show up for a lawyer visit.

2. The State Bar offices used to be located near the SF Symphony, and you could park there at night if you displayed your bar card on the dashboard. This remains the only thing the State Bar has ever done for me.


I have occasionally checked an opposing lawyer's bar number, when I had a couple of clients who occasionally got sued by bottom-feeder lawyers. Never found a lawyer who had actually been disbarred (or who wasn't licensed), but did find someone with an interesting disciplinary history that was pretty helpful to my case.

Thats why the term is so damn great. "Do I look like a mongoloid?" works much better than "Do I look like I just got off the boat?"

Its like palming a Budweiser 16 oz can. Pick yourself up a sixer* on the way home and let me know if you still want the photo.

No Wanker. I have performance anxiety in front of men who drive Minis.

No, they executed them.

Actually, almost all of them get there on their own without any help, thank you very much.
