But I do understand why Dave quit. He threw a season of perfect games. There was nowhere to go but down. Same could be said for AD. How long could they keep something that fucking consistently clever and hysterical going?

Full House was on for 8 seasons, if that is any indication.

If you are a pompous ass of a self-important plaintiffs' lawyer, and you are conducting an expert deposition in which one of the lawyers for the defendants is participating via telephone, and you exchange several comments with that lawyer prior to the beginning of that deposition, making it clear that you know he is on the telephone, and that lawyer subsequently objects on several occasions to your idiotic questions, and the parties break for lunch, and everyone leaves the deposition room but you, and you call your expert on your cell phone and proceed to discuss your views regarding the progress of the deposition, your plans for deposing another one of the defendants' experts, your strategy for resolving a scheduling dispute and your low opinion of the lawyers representing your adversaries, please do not expect anyone to point out to you that you are a fucking idiot. At least not right away.

You sound rather upset given that the idiot seems to have just handed you a gift.

Jesus Christ. Talking to you is tedious.

The Yankees had a 15 year run when we weren't really winning much of anything. I still had a great time cheering for them and I didn't sit around wondering if their record would be good enough for me to cheer for them starting the last month of the season.

I'm not comparing the Yankees to Detroit or Chicago, knucklehead. I'm wondering why you can't be a fan of your local team even if they aren't going to the playoffs. Besides, I don't want to hear people whining about the Tigers or the Cubs because those fans got to experience the Pistons and the Bulls. If you can only cheer for the team in your city that is currently winning, you're not really worth much as a sports fan.

First, that is rich, and will turn the little Napoleon purple and boil his brain to mush momentarily when related to him. Choose the timing of the disclosure of his idiocy well.

But second, he will regain his faculties, as limited as they may be, and when he does, he'll realize he didn't blab anything the other side didn't know already.

I've yet to find a smoking gun of any sort in my career, even in a box of atty/client docs inadvertently turned over by the other side. Maybe I'm unlucky...

Well, I know I'm unlucky...

I am upset only because I have been forced to deal with this idiot and his idiot colleagues for as long as I have.

Pony has more sense in the hairs on his back than this guy.

You are interfering with my happy thoughts, which also include Ollie somehow as a spectator. Anyway, for whatever reason, he's there. Like how a 3rd grade teacher is at a business meeting for some unknowable reason in a dream, or something.

You're exactly right -- I learned nothing from his idiocy that we didn't already know, or suspect sufficiently to prepare for. All that's left is the small, sad pleasure I will take in letting him know.

From Philly, by the way.
