PM me the particulars, if you please. It's not like we don't know eachother.
I updated the table on Infirm to show the particulars.

Historically, the only LA firm that has matched is Irell & Manella. Latham, OMM, and Uncle Gibson, have only matched in their NY offices. Your buddy at Latham probably knows all this.

  • World's Tallest Man Uses Long Arms to Save 2 Dolphins in China

    Dec. 13: Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man, reaches in to retrieve objects from the stomach of a sick dolphin at an aquarium in China.
    BEIJING — The long arms of the world's tallest man reached in and saved two dolphins by pulling out plastic from their stomachs, state media and an aquarium official said Thursday.

    The dolphins got sick after nibbling on plastic from the edge of their pool at an aquarium in Liaoning province. Attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because the dolphins' stomachs contracted in response to the instruments, the China Daily newspaper reported.

    Veterinarians then decided to ask for help from Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia with 41.7-inch arms, state media said.

    Bao, 54, was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest living man.

    Chen Lujun, the manager of the Royal Jidi Ocean World aquarium, told The Associated Press that the shape of the dolphins' stomachs made it difficult to push an instrument very far in without hurting the animals. People with shorter arms could not reach the plastic, he said.

    "When we failed to get the objects out we sought the help of Bao Xishun from Inner Mongolia and he did it successfully yesterday," Chen said. "The two dolphins are in very good condition now."

I'm trying to conserve the battery of my old IPod right now until I get a new one for Christmas it really doesn't hold a charge for long. So since approx over 1/2 of the new M7 equipment is out of commission from the brakes/flattened wheels we added a stop recently and the train is very crowded.

So today's third seat woman decides to open her satchel and open all of her mail that she built up for what appears to be months. Card upon card. riiiiiiipppppp rustle rustle fold; riiiiippppppppppp....riiiiiiiiippppp. I fidgeted and twitched a bit, and then couldn't take it anymore and busted out w/ my disabled Ipod and threw it into high volume.

Lady, you see I'm trying to sleep and that it is a relatively quiet car. What gives? Open your mail at the office, or at home. That is so *ANNOYING* each time she opened another foil Christmas card she elbowed me. She looked totally dissapointed that I even had a recourse with the Ipod. People are fucking spiteful, I swear. That and the dude behind her clipping his nails? that is fucking GROSS. MMM nail clippings strewn all over the floor.

Even fringey, whose gastronomic rapacity knows no satiety, does not eat nail clippings (or floor pie).

You need to start smoking pot, because you are way too uptight about, well, everything. If the fact that someone opens mail next to you on a fucking train drives you nuts, your hair trigger is too hairy.

Dissent.

She finds very crowded cars relatively quiet. That implies an ability to separate herself, and to deal with the noise of life. Perhaps the card woman was completely annoying.

Concur.

I often joke that the Starbucks baristas are pushers....or they attenuate our caffeine intake. Which is why, unless I'm feeling very edgy that I am always very nice to them.

Clearly the problem here is you. I suggest walking to work.

A very accurate use of "dissent."

Odd Thought

At this moment, there are probably over a million people in this country wishing for the death (or permanent incapacitation) of someone who never did anything to them.

There's probably a few hundred thousand telling each other God had something to do with this person's illness.

Creepy.
