Lawyer: Has anyone in your family ever been negatively affected by narcotics?I got called into jury duty a few months ago for a drug case. 2 questions and I was out of there.
Good one.Need to go all Erie Doctrine on them.
One of the questions they ask is "Is anyone in your family in the legal profession? Any lawyers in your family?""Does my previous experience with the Hennepin County Internet Crimes Unit have any bearing on this case?"

I really want to answer "My stepsister is a real estate lawyer and my cousin is a corporate lawyer in the Bay Area. Oh, and I have several iFriends who are lawyers."

Or perhaps I should preface all of my answers with "Well my friend Woz says..."
It's still in the 90s here. Right now. Eat a bag of #####. The good news is they're on krista.Going camping tomorrow. Temperature at midnight is supposed to be 77 degrees.![]()
Interesting turn of events. On vacation I wore nothing but Sanuks. Walked a fair amount with no problem. Upon returning, I've worn my Sanuks to work for the last two weeks. I also started doing some light running last week. No problems.krista4 said:We're hiking the Kendall Katwalk tomorrow, a long (14.4 mile) but not terribly difficult (2900 ft elevation) hike. I am![]()

, though, because it looks like this. Not for the fear-of-heights type.
Drifter, have you figured out if you have to have surgery? Eager to get you out on one of these hikes sometime. BTW, you also owe us all a trip report on the Griswold vacation.

That Shea Stadium show is hard to listen to. It sounds like there is an entire fleet of 747s flying over.One of the questions they ask is "Is anyone in your family in the legal profession?

Unrelated - I love the Beatles pretty hard. Just watched The Beatles at Shea Stadium and the rooftop concert. And I'm drunk.
Honest to bob the defense attorney told a story about hitting a monster of a home run while playing softball. My first thought was of Woz."Hey, you dress like you went to a Tier 3 law school. Maybe you know him? Played a lot of baseball, probably brought a yorkie to most of his classes. "Good one.Need to go all Erie Doctrine on them.

And we've come full circle.You're a lousy ####in softball player, Jack!!

Oh and get this. The A/C went out for the last 1.5 hours of jury selection. Good thing it doesn't get hot around here in the summer. It looked a lot like this.Before bed? Isn't it like 830 out there?
On the dot. But I have dinner at like 4:30 PM and there's a Lawrence Welk marathon on Hallmark starting at 6:00AM so I need to hit the hay.Before bed? Isn't it like 830 out there?
Back of the line, jerkass.You know, I was really hoping to take my wife to Italy for about 5 years for our anniversary, but we're just not quite going to be able to afford it. I'm pretty sad about it. Sniffle, sniffle.
K4 terrifies the #### out of me. Literally. ####, out.krista4 said:I'm going to guess that it's not that anyone is terrified of me, but that you are on an island with this opinion.mr. furley said:i'm just curious why everyone is terrified of saying anything bad about her constant look at me postingAaron Rudnicki said:Is this Furley vs K4 beef real?Did what?

I don't understand much of anything, which makes it even more fun. (and I've been picked every time I'm called for jury duty... 3 times)It can be fun. Especially if you actually understand the law.I've never gotten called for jury duty. I kind of want to.
I think so, too. You'd definitely be the Jack Lemmon in the room. Unless Jack Lemmon was also on the jury, of course.I like to think I understand it enough.It can be fun. Especially if you actually understand the law.I've never gotten called for jury duty. I kind of want to.
You get used to it.It can be maddening though (see above). Listening to a bunch of adults basically fail an oral version of an 8th Grade Civics test is scary.It can be fun. Especially if you actually understand the law.I've never gotten called for jury duty. I kind of want to.
Douchetastically.Henry Ford: I'll probably be put in the box on Monday. I'm tempted to pepper my answers with some sweet SCOTUS decisions.
Lawyer: How would you feel if my client chose not to testify in this trial?
Me: Well according to Ohio v Reiner....
How do you think something like that would go over?
http://bitstrips.com/strips/FXGNQ.pngSometimes I post stuff in here because I'm adverse to starting a completely new thread.....
with that being said, I was thinking last night and, is there a way for a country, government entity, single person, to turn off the internet? I mean, like a light switch and poof it's off for everyone? And if someone, something has that power, would that pretty much throw the entire earth into chaos just about instantly?
And some of them actually get picked- which is the most terrifying thing to me.It can be maddening though (see above).

I know I'm just snarky one-liner guy, and I'm a little late to the party, but as a long time anti-Furlean (Furlite?) and being that I'm a bit grumpy that I'm stuck at work at 8 am on a Saturday, I would like to address the issues he raised. First of all, Krista does get plenty of guff around here. She gets teased incessantly about all of the moving and house buying and selling. Don't know how you've missed all that. Not to mention, there was a several page meme some time ago dedicated to the enormity of her lady cave.
Secondly, she has shown an unending amount of kindness, generosity, and support for many people here, unlike the idiotic turd-slingers around here like you and me. And guess what, people tend to respond in positive ways to those attributes. Again, shocking I know.
And of course, as she already addressed, you clearly have some type of inferiority complex toward her. Is it just the money? The fact that a woman is so much more successful than you? Maybe you wish you had found yourself such a successful, independent woman? It's ok to admit it. I personally don't care how well off random internet people are, and as someone whose wife makes a fair amount more than he does, it certainly doesn't bother me to see a successful woman. Maybe turn some of that focus inward and you won't be so miserable. I know that has helped me quite a bit recently.
Ok back to your regularly scheduled episode of Cats, Cheeses, and Boobs. Have a great weekend everyone!
By choice or mandate?I'm on a lot of pain medication for 8 a.m. on a Saturday.
I went twice (or maybe 3 times)...camped out in the middle of the woods in Northern Michigan Anyway I managed to catch 1 fish about the size of my hand, but mostly because I was either hung over during the prime morning fishing hours or too drunk during the prime evening fishing hourskrista4 said:So dumb yet funny.Officer Pete Malloy said:![]()
Off-topic (if I knew what the topic were): any of you people know anything about fly-fishing? Mr. krista is interested in it. All I know is that it's difficult. Fun? Tips?
Everything but Obama care and gay marriage are choices in this country, good sir.By choice or mandate?(sorry if I missed what's up with you)I'm on a lot of pain medication for 8 a.m. on a Saturday.
Sorry, Henry. If I came across as flip, didn't really mean to.Everything but Obama care and gay marriage are choices in this country, good sir.By choice or mandate?(sorry if I missed what's up with you)I'm on a lot of pain medication for 8 a.m. on a Saturday.
My dog died, my office manager was diagnosed with multiple brain tumors, and I have multiple trials coming up... so naturally my body decided to help by having my back go out yesterday.
My back went out.
You didn't come across as flip. And back pain sucks donkey balls.Sorry, Henry. If I came across as flip, didn't really mean to. Besides my father dying, the hardest thing I've had to do is put a dog down. I took him (the dog, not my father) through the MacD's drive-thru and got him a Big Mac. I sat with him as the "medicine" took him away, then I buried him.Everything but Obama care and gay marriage are choices in this country, good sir.My dog died, my office manager was diagnosed with multiple brain tumors, and I have multiple trials coming up... so naturally my body decided to help by having my back go out yesterday.By choice or mandate?(sorry if I missed what's up with you)I'm on a lot of pain medication for 8 a.m. on a Saturday.

I can also feel ya on the back-going-out thing.
Are you a dog?I think I have the fastest digestive system in the world. Yesterday I had a bigass bowl of cereal at like 4pm and was saying goodbye to it at 8. (I know because it was Crunch Berries and my deuce was bright green--festive!)
I feel like that's not normal. Is that normal?
[/poochat]
