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.

How about acting as a perfectly legal barrier to entry into competition? Show some fucking gratitude, dude.

I thought that translation was also applicable to Mongo's recent appearance here.

A man involved in an X-rated video available on the Internet is a San Francisco police officer. The woman involved is an institutional officer who works for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department. A citizen called the sheriff's department after recognizing the cops on an adult Web site. (One wonders how a person gets to recognize a cop - and who happens to be watching internet porn.)

The man, a three-year veteran of the San Francisco Police Department, is seen in the adult Internet video production riding in the back seat of a car while trolling for women.

A male voice on the video says, "With a handful of money, anything can happen."

The woman who gets in the car works for the sheriff's department as a police officer patrolling San Francisco General Hospital.

In a free sample movie anybody can watch with a simple click, the two are seen having sex. (Of course they don't give you the link - Less you're on your own.)
Over the weekend, the male officer, who patrols in the city's Tenderloin District, was put on desk duty. (Clearly too much temptation.) And this is my favorite part..."We'll determine if any rules or procedures from the department have been violated."

I would certainly hope so.

Scholarly conference on religious themes in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

Here are the papers to be presented.

Fuck b-school. I should have stayed in liberal arts.

Maybe I've been living in SF too long, but I really don't have a problem with SF cops acting (performing?) in porn movies, as long as they are not doing it on the clock (which sounds like it would be uncomfortable anyway).

Jeez, didn't mean to break the board ...

Oh, boy. Another video of a nightstick getting inserted in someone's ass. First, NYC cops. Then our boys in camoflage. Now, SFPD. At least the locals know to use lubrication.

Don't worry about it. Anybody can be a

Not your fault. We're all just watching the hockey game. I think I saw gwnc (assuming she looks like the Labatt Blue commercial chick) on TV before the second period ended, holding a "I Heart Jarome" sign.

Heck, at this point, I heart Jarome. That dude can play. Go Flames!

OK, since it's slow, here's a poll: What's the suckiest (stupidest, most embarrassing, whatever) actual name that you have encountered? Combinations are also ok, such as law firm names - example: there used to be a law firm in Rhode Island known as Licht & Semonoff (they have since changed their name)).

Hah. From you, that's like the doctor saying "this won't hurt a bit," or a GP saying "I have a fun, exciting project for you this Friday afternoon."

How's stuff?

[sunnybunny]

So, in our last flight together when i was browsing the skymall catalog, mr. Bunny happened to eye a tanning bed for feet--to get rid of that unsighlty sock line. He said he wanted one. I thought he was kidding. He asked me today if I would get him a piggy cooker on the next present-giving holiday. and when I said no, he said he was going to order one. he was dead f'ing serious. I'm afraid this might be the last nail in his coffin.



How could a playboy-reading-guiness-swilling-construction worker be so vain?

Not bad, Not Bob. The biggest news is that Kafka-ette and I just finished all the paperwork formalizing the adoption of a sibling for kafka-tot (who now is loving being the big sister, even with the concomitant reqirement that she now learn to share . . .)

How goes it with all y'all?

Skip this if you haven't seen it yet or otherwise don't want to read my review.



Three songs, two were contestants' choices and the other, "I Believe," was written especially for the finale and I think will be the first single the winner releases. Fantasia won the coin toss and opted to go second.

Diana started with "I Believe" and did a nice job on it. The non-belted parts didn't have any particular intensity but it was pretty good. Fantasia started with a song I hadn't heard during the competition and it wasn't a good choice. She didn't sing the song so much as riff on top of the melody and add her "yeah yeahs." Simon said the arrangement was a mess. After the first songs, Fantasia looked like she was in trouble.

Diana's second song was pretty good again (the Donna Summer one) but I thought she sang it better during Disco Week. Fantasia countered with "Summertime." I also thought she sang that a little better during Movie Song Week but it was still excellent. Slight edge to Fantasia IMO after two songs each.

Diana finished with "Don't Cry Out Loud" and it was her worst performance since Elton John week. The lows were too low for her and she lost the pitch in the middle for a short time. Then when she got it back, it was more screaming or shouting than singing. The judges gave her mega compliments on the first two songs but were hard pressed to come up with something good to say about this one.

Fantasia finished with "I Believe" and if I thought Diana had sung it pretty well, Fantasia knocked it out of the park. She really should win.

The whole night I thought about what an amazing finale it would have been with any two of Fantasia, LaToya and Jennifer. Last week would have been so great with all three of them and no Jasmine.
