  1. Call me old fashioned but I do my best to boycott any establishment that puts up Xmas decorations before Thanksgiving.

    Pumpkin birth

    wonderful!
  3. Hmmm....Storing up blessings in heaven again, are we Mr. OZ?
  4. Great story, gc.
  5. Thanks for the fun, the entertainment and the (occasional) insight you've given me these past few years, Lucky. Congrats...now enjoy your trip to NY
  6. Exhaustive search reveals not one single video on the net featuring naked Thai dancing boys working a crowd of lustful Catholic prelates , so I'm flat out of ideas. Anybody else got anything??
  7. For such minor skills as I may have, I give full credit to my high school debate team.
  8. When I was a kid in Mississippi (50's), union folks were usually labeled communist by factory owners. Why discuss substantive issues when you can short circuit the argument into whether your adversary is a minion of Satan? Same thing happened in the 60's when integration was the topic. So, to directly address your question, if you criticize Isreal's policies toward the Pals, you're likely to be attacked as anti-semitic (or a self-hating jew, apply as applicable). I doubt it's so much an active sense of vitimization as a useful way to stop the argument in its tracks. I agree, Lucky, playing the anti-semitism card on the occupiers does seem a bit of a stretch.
  9. Fuck! Didn't we just do this year before last? (I hate change.)
  10. hahahahahahahahaha... OZ, it's all right now, Ya learned your lesson well. You see, ya can't please everyone, so ya got to please yourself
  11. It's hurtful, Hito, but try to let it go. Clearly the escort in question did not give the email much credence or he wouldn't have met with you.

    Thanks for your post, Charlie. You clarified for me my own rather inchoate reaction to gc's original post. I couldn't get my thoughts to jell until I read your words.
  13. Per longstanding rumors involving one of my area morticians, yes, it is possible; frowned upon by the authorities but possible.
  14. LOL...in a word: yes!
  15. Crazy Days and Night, a gossip blog, reports: "...It seems that our actor [Zack] is very insecure about his manhood. So much so that during the entire time he is having sex he keeps asking his partner,"what do you think of my d**k?" "Tell me you like it." The guy will not shut up about it. Needless to say, despite his resume and money he doesn't get many repeat partners." "Have some confidence. You are a movie star and television star and get pretty much your pick of partners. All you are doing by asking is making whatever you don't have, worse." Of course, everyone knows internet gossip blogs triple source all their blind items, so it appears the matter is settled.
  16. Now you know why.

    its been a while

    Brazil is one of those countries where embassy people assume that anyone requesting a tourist visa is attempting to jump the emmigration quay. Burdon of proof is on them to show they have good reason to return to Brazil when visa expires.
  18. Neither does mine. I suspect something is being stuffed besides a few g-strings.
  19. As usual, lookin says it best!

    Lookin, Lucky, what can I say? Even as we post DHS web spiders are checking MER for threats to POTUS and the US generally. Probably my mentioning DHS and POTUS in the same sentence twice in a row will result in some algorithm handing off this thread to a clerk to manually evaluate a potential threat to the government. [Hi, Mr. G-6 , no harm intended, I promise. Have a nice day! ]

    Sorry, but for me a little innocent ticket fixing (as a favor, not for cash) is a perk of the job. No point in demanding cops be of inhuman rectitude; that just causes more problems. I knew a sheriff who liked doing that. Truly a scary, dangerous brute. Only cop who ever managed to make me feel uneasy around him. And I've been around cops all my life, some of them real doosies. Lucky, I suspect most non-lawyers have no idea how dangerous the practice of planting/fabricating evidence can be. It completely circumvents the usual safeguards of the criminal justice system. Not to mention its corrosive effect on any PD that turns a blind eye to it.
  22. LOL, thus is my prima facie case thoroughly refuted. I concede the field. My only remaining defense, poor though it be, is to draw your attention to the and the that concluded my post. You're not the only one who likes to stir the pot on occasion. TIGER, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand dare seize the fire? And what shoulder and what art Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand and what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? Lucky, not even Hito could envision you as a trembling kitten but I suspect he's right about the sweetness underneath. ---- P.S. Thanks for the post about Fox. I was wondering if that was what was ginning up the fuss about his "special friend". The English press hint but don't come right out with it.
  23. In one of those cases Karen Golinski, a federal court attorney, is seeking family insurance coverage for her wife, which an Obama administration office denied because of the 1996 law. Clement argued that Congress had legitimate reasons for granting marital benefits only to opposite-sex couples - tradition, the "unknown consequences of a novel redefinition of marriage," and the government's "interest in maintaining the link between marriage and children." Golinski's lawyers contend the law must be overturned unless its defendants can show compelling reasons for withholding benefits to same-sex couples. Clement countered that courts have applied such a protective standard only to groups that can't protect themselves in the political process. ---- One might argue that the very existence of a law denying the group in question a federal spousal benefit available to all other federal employees is itself fairly strong evidence that the group cannot protect itself through the normal political process. ---- That said, some might also argue that the following quote makes a prima facie case that Lucky misses the bare knuckle brawls of the other board: "Our fellow poster Epigonos is an avowed Republican who opposes the Obama administration. Does he support this horrendous claim?" ....
