Oh Cabin Boy, the Captain seeks comfort

Being completed disassociated from reality herself, Paigow has mad skillz in certain, um, creative arenas. The irony is that, I think she is the one sputtering uncontrolably when she gets upset and types her mad responses, complete with miscapitalizations, typos, and cut off sentences.

Truisms in life:

A woman marries a man expecing he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change but she does.

Paigow is nuts.

The chase is better than the catch.

Paigow is nuts.

The longer the opinion, the more the court is justifying a decision it knows is wrong.

Paigow is nuts.

The law of unintended consequences is real. See, e.g. - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...7/MN178297.DTL (animal lover's cats are helping make sea otters extinct).

Paigow is nuts.

You did the basic coding right, but the links themselves are no good.

In order to work it is going to need to end with a .jpg or .gif or something like that as the person who edited your post noted.

I like your list TM.

Let me see if I can add some.

The last person who should lead is the one who seeks the job.

Money may not be the route to happiness, but it is easier to be happy when you have it.

People are rarely truly selfless.

No one is always nice.

The people who "seem" the most normal are the nuttiest.

Oh, and most important, TM is a sarcastic bastard.

Decisions have consequences

I have one addendum to TM's excellent list: decisions have consequences.

To wit:

Last night I was already at my car when I realized I had left my cell phone on my desk. Should I go back and get it? I was in a bit of a hurry, so I figured I'd get it tomorrow.

Fast forward to this morning, me on my way to hit some golf balls before work at Griffith Park. Stopped in traffic, some assjack slams into me quite hard from behind. We pull off of Los Feliz Blvd. onto a side street. Neither of us have our phone with us, so I go across the street to phone in the accident. While using a good samaritan's phone, I see the assjack climb back into his car and take off. So "Arturo," in your grey sedan, with license plate 4KIW323, if you're reading this, go fuck yourself. I hope you die.

Ancient Mesopotamians discovered that the parasite killing otters, Toxoplasma gondii, actually originated in what now is called India. Under a microscope, it looks very cute, perhaps Indearing itself to researchers.

Edited because I can't speel.

If you go to the site, the pictures have additional coding after the "?" relating to size etc. That was omitted, and shouldn't be. Unfortunately, the "properties" box on windows doesn't show the entire url if it's very long.

Yeah, and make sure you do the separate DMV report for accidents involving injury or >$500 damage. They will put your license on administrative suspension if you don't report within five days, even if the damage was to your car and the other guy was a hit-and-run. Heartless bastards.

Get well soon. In solidarity, I promise not to do any work for clients named Arturo today.

Red face The Bachelor

I know that now that Tina Fabulous (22 is too young to get married anyway) is gone, no one cares, but Andrew Firestone says that he is "in love."

I hope he gets his watch back.

Anyway, doesn't he have to make it sound like he found true love until at least the final episode airs? I mean, it would be pretty poor for the show if it was publicly acknowedged that the couple had broken up before he made his final selection. At least Aaron was classy enough to wait to dump Helene after the final show was aired and all his Podunk, MO, buddies won their off-shore bets.

That is an excellent list. I decided to make it a poll.

ADD to the following list. You can confine your additions to things you have learned about this board and its posters or general things (like in the list).

Thurgreed's addendum (general):

1. The ratio of funny male comics to funny female comics is like 10:1.

2. Rich people are generally the cheapest people around.

3. It is almost impossible to be in a bad mood if you have an ice cream cone.

4. Although most people are generally stupid, the collective intelligence of a room with a significant amount of people when it comes to trivia is almost always impressive.

5. Lawyers are no more slimy than politicians, brokers (Wall Street and Real Estate), journalists and executives of large public companies.

6. If you have no idea, say, "I'll look into that" or "I'll get back to you" or "Interesting."

7. If you have no idea, do not say, "Uhhhhhhh."

8. Debt is bad.

9. There is almost no reality in "reality tv."

10. If someone has done something other people enjoy, they want credit no matter what they say or how humble they act.

10A. Paigow is nuts.
11. There is NO such thing as a cheap date.

12. Never bet on your favorite team.

13. A drug dealer that says "I'll be there in Five Minutes" is lying.

14. Find me the most beautiful woman on the planet and I'll find you some dude who's tired of sleeping with her.

15. The last stragglers of the evening that close out the bar tab ALWAYS get fucked.

TM
Mine:

RE: the boards (any boards, really, not just greedy boards)

1.) Inevitably, someone will start talking about the "good old days" be it six weeks ago, two years ago, or at the start of the board.

2.) Newbies always have and always will have a way of pissing people off.

3.) The person who states that em is leaving the board forever generally comes back within two months.

4.) Every conversation generally boils down to porn and politics. (This observation is stolen from my friend Amanda who drunkenly asserted the theory during a dive crawl along San Pedro from Oakland to El Cerrito in 2001).

5.) Eventually, anonymity on the internet is a myth.

6.) Internet interactions resemble high school in a very scary way.

Real life:

I'll get to those later.

Seeking hotel recs for Vegas

I have been asked to post the following question:

Would anyone be able to suggest mid-priced hotels on the Strip? Firm is paying, don't have an exact rate, but it needs to be "reasonable."

It is a business trip (the person promises however that em will not be taking depositions.)
