GM's thread about nothing (27 Viewers)

"Does my previous experience with the Hennepin County Internet Crimes Unit have any bearing on this case?"
One of the questions they ask is "Is anyone in your family in the legal profession? Any lawyers in your family?"

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."

Unrelated - I love the Beatles pretty hard. Just watched The Beatles at Shea Stadium and the rooftop concert. And I'm drunk.

 
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.

We're hiking the Kendall Katwalk tomorrow, a long (14.4 mile) but not terribly difficult (2900 ft elevation) hike. I am :excited: :excited: :excited: , 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.
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.

Either the barefoot aspect of the Sanuks is creating the right muscle balance I need so that my overdeveloped (according to my doctors) calves don't pull my tendons off the bone, or the problem has been more with irritation to the Mt. Baker sized bone spur on my heel.

Either way, I'm feeling pretty good about things and am ready to hike any time. Would love to do a 1 or 2 night backpack trip as well. Mrs. Drifter however does not backpack and is terrified of heights so likely you just get me (not that I could run out and do 14 miles and 3000 ft. - you've turned into a maniac).

That Shea Stadium show is hard to listen to. It sounds like there is an entire fleet of 747s flying over.

 
Need to go all Erie Doctrine on them.
Good one.

Or perhaps I should preface all of my answers with "Well my friend Woz says..."
"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. "
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.

I will paypal you five American dollars if you do this.

:lmao: 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.

 
Can we all agree that no matter what music you like, The Rockefeller Skank was one of the key transformative moments in music leading into the 21st century? Can't imagine hearing that for the first time again and it's pretty far from usual listening tastes.

why is everyone afraid of k4? anyone else in this thread moves 6 times in this short a span and it's 2 pages of questioning whether the guy's wife is cheating on him with a fella that has ball cancer and 15 fingers :shrug:
oh man now you did it
Did what? Made yet another pitiful attempt at putting me down? SHOCKING.
Is this Furley vs K4 beef real?
i'm just curious why everyone is terrified of saying anything bad about her constant look at me posting :shrug:
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.

:rolleyes:
K4 terrifies the #### out of me. Literally. ####, out.

 
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?
Douchetastically.

 
In all seriousness, if you want out of jury duty just tell the lawyers when they ask about legal stuff that you've been reading about "jury nullification" lately.

 
Sometimes 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?

I've never gotten called for jury duty. I kind of want to.
It can be fun. Especially if you actually understand the law.
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.
And some of them actually get picked- which is the most terrifying thing to me.

I was on a 2nd degree murder trial once. Kid killed another kid over a jacket. DA was the most un-Law and Order lalwyer ever- boring, painfully redundant pant-suited, middle-aged woman with bad hair. Court appointed defense attorney was fun histrionic with some crazy hair and constant spray of spittle who also seemed compelled to not ask all the questions to witnesses that might get his client free (the questions I was asking myself in my head and kept waiting to hear him ask).

All in all, this was a pretty slam dunk case (especially given the defense attorney). As we walk into the Jury room to start our deliberations, the older who had sat next to me and clearly couldn't wait to discuss pulls me aside and says- what do you think?

Me- guilty, but we can talk more as we deliberate.

Her- no. He can't be guilty.

Me- :confused:

Her- that boy looks just like a boy named Austin who lives in my building.

Me- :confused:

Her- that's the nicest boy you'd even meet... he'd never hurt a fly, let alone kill another human being.

So I helped her make her case in deliberations and set him free. :12angrymen:

 
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!

Great party!
So dumb yet funny. :lmao:

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?
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 hours

So in summary it's a lot of fun if you enjoy heavy drinking

 
I'm on a lot of pain medication for 8 a.m. on a Saturday.
By choice or mandate?(sorry if I missed what's up with you)
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.

My back went out.

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.

I can also feel ya on the back-going-out thing.

You didn't come across as flip. And back pain sucks donkey balls.

 
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]
