Because that is a game that someone might actually pay to see. I bet it is available PPV.

Fox will likely be your source for thrilling games like Aston Villa v. Derby and suchlike this weekend. Oooooh! Look! Bolton!

Blackburn-Liverpool
Newcastle-Portsmouth

I've seen worse Saturdays on FCS.

could i come and log in once and not have patentpara be the last frookin poster.

so, an update. I asked the dear friend today how to spell his father's wife last name ("i know it starts with an A an sounds like "_________" with a double L in there somewhere, but I get a little lost") to which he responded "I'm not exactly sure how to spell it myself....I'm not sure whether this is total vidication or whether it's a perfect example of "water seeks its own level"....sigh.

Possible? Yes. Probable? Well, she does have almost 1/10th of the posts on this board right now.

The Boston branch of the Free Hugs Campaign plans on doing so this weekend.

I am sure hilarity will ensue.

so my "scribble the name in cursive" advice wins.

By the way, where does the Klan fall on your scale - worse than frats, better than frats, or pretty much the same thing?

I tried to come up with a teleological distinction between a frat and the Church, and a frat and the mafia, and could do so, but only marginally. I could not come up with any to distinguish the Klan from a frat, except that presumably some number of them are Southern Baptists and therefore do not drink.

Surely the national chapter has/had money?

The national organizations have high-paid lawyers to argue that the actions of the local chapters were ultra vires and therefore there was no agency. It depends on state law whether you can prove that the mere payment of members' dues from the smaller to the larger constitutes a joint venture.

The video for their campaign always makes me sniffle a little. I wholeheartedly support their efforts.

It's up there, but IMO, that title belongs to "Gimme Shelter." That tune is all the best styles of rock slammed into one 5 minute run.

And "Sticky Fingers," as I think Slave has noted in the past, has "Moonlight Mile" on it, possibly the most underrated Stones classic. As well as their greatest riff, "Can't You Hear me Knocking."

My vote for greatest Stones song ever.

Same in Texas. A girl a few years back tried to go with negligent infliction of emotional distress to go after the insurance policy since the individual frat members that videotaped and distributed her having sex with one of the members were pretty judgement proof. Supreme Court didn't think the emotional distress was as much negligent as intentional.

Why go after insurance money when you could have the satisfaction of attaching the frat house and kicking the fuckers out on the street?

You place liens on all real property owned by the defendants and move to sell it. But chances are that Phelps has structured the ownshership of most of the Defendants' assets as jointly held or tenancy by entireties (husband and wife) so that going through the execution process will be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

My guess is the guy will get nothing but some lousy equipment and personal property belonging to the Defendants.

I would guess many of the married defendants who hold their property as joints tenants were both present at the funeral. If both are subject to judgment, then jt don't save them shit.

At the least, the plaintiffs should wind up with a nice church, like the Southern Poverty Law Center got that Klan headquarters in Alabama.

ETA now, on further reflection, it's seeming a touch more menacing, but still really really funny.

Is an intentional act like infliction of emotional distress non-dischargeable in bankruptcy along the same lines as a fraud judgment?

Have you ever seen a case where there was a high likelihood of a judgment being entered against someone or some organization and the organization didn't mortgage the shit out all their real property in advance? It's the first thing most defendants in bad positions do. Then when the court asks where the mortgage money is the defendant says he spent it on his lawyers.

There's actually a law in NJ, I think, now holding lawyers liable for counseling defendants to drain the equity of all real property after a suit has been filed. I think it works like a fruaudlent conveyance claim.
