Now Larson... that guy is fucking funny. Still, C&H is for freshman in college who want to relive childhood.

You're not redeeming yourself by simply acknowledging the genius of Gary Larson. Everyone with a modocum of intelligence should be able to see that.

Freshmen in college don't know what C&H is. The strip ended when they were ten years old, and they were way too young then to understand it.

SD has lost all credibility as far as I'm concerned.

That's like saying Karen Carpenter has lost all her excess weight.

MOP, 10 Years and Gunnin
Outkast, Double album

It's taped to the doors of their professors.

I take it you mean "gayest" in a pejorative sense? Classy.

No, with Queer Eye, Boy Meets Boy, and the new cartoon on the Orlando Jones show, gay is in and "gayest" is a compliment. Just ask Penske - there is nothing gayer than socking or posting lame one-line responses to long verbatim quotes.

Dude, it ain't fucking bukkake she's talking about,

Not to [over] expose my ignorance, but what is bukkake? Splooge? Anal intercourse?

Sorry, I lead a sheltered life.

Calvin & Fucking Hobbes??? Are you fuckin serious? What is this, the total fucking tools board? That might be the gayest cartoon ever. The last time I even heard of that shit was when some lameass in college suggested I invest money in these stupid T-shirts showing Calvin & Hobbes doing beer bongs. I have never seen a more dull cutesy piece of shit cartoon. Here I am thinking you're throwing some deep Calvinist shit on me...

A buddy and I came up with a T-shirt idea last night. We're going to start selling them on the internet. The T-shirt will read

FRONT:

If you were born on or before this date in 1986 . . .

BACK:

Then you are old enough to have sex with me
(or)
Come with me.

These are my 3.

Linda is my favorite, too. I find it weird how the Joe keeps saying Lina is "uppity." WTF is that supposed to mean? That she is reserved? Anyhow, she is one of the "shopping" ones (something about how, if he lives on a ranch how would she shop).

Anyhow, this one I find horrifying:

Bad photos. You'd do all three of 'em.

The girls on this show have a Eurotrash sex appeal. They drink, swear, make graphic sexual innuendos, and wear clothes that appear designed to be easily removed. It is such a breath of fresh air compeared to the repressed, Junior League types that are chosen for the Bachelor, Cupid, and their ilk.

The new Joe is a complete moron - every bad religious, stereotype idiot from the South who can't even keep a simple story straight, but says "ma'am" a lot so he must be a "gentleman." None of these girls would give him the light of day absent the $$ and TV show aspect. There isn't a Zora in the bunch, and he makes Evan look urbane.

Grace - I think it is probably pretty uniquely American, particularly the aspect of imposing your beliefs on your guests. It has always offended me from the first time it happened to me at some elementary school friend's house, and I thus attribute it to our brand of evangelical Christian assholes.

I recall being told several times "You're a huge disappointment because you refuse to apply yourself to anything but what amuses or entertains you."

Which makes you the same as everyone else here.

Seriously, the I'm cooler than you nonsense always irritates me. No matter how cool you think you are, you went to school for three extra years rather than backpacking around Europe or playing professional sports or modeling or working construction during the day so you could play music at night.

Whining about your choices is tiresome, and railing against the geekier of your fellow lawyers in an internet forum is incredibly hypocritical.

When I was a young lawyer and I told people what I did for a living, I was always mildly embarassed. I would mention, laughing, "but I am so much more interesting than that." Now, what the fuck do I care if other people think or know I am more interesting than that.

We have boring jobs. I love mine because I actually help people make their dreams happen. It's not a big job, but it's mine. The day to day is boring as hell, but the impact on my clients is enormous. What could be cooler than that?!

Even(not close to being the coolest person in my house or in my immediate family -- and I am okay with that)Odds

Please post something about yourself that tells the board just how hip and edgy you are. It need not be the twenty bands you are concurrently listening to at the moment.

Here is mine. I plan to ride my recalled-but-not-returned Segueway in Moab this weekend.

since when did Clinton start posting here?


Good lord, how close to disbarment are you? "Your Honor, I didn't say my client doesn't have the documents requested by plaintiff. I said he didn't have those documents in his office on the day they were requested, so we couldn't possibly answer those requests."

And if there were extant digital pictures, why did I get a stupid lecture on how morally reprehensible/stupid it would be for him to take a picture of his wife to post (with or without her consent)? It's a moot point. I suppose he was arguing on "principle."

Worse is when asked to say it as a guest.
