We're back. They went early today.

I'm glad the usual cast of characters is rounding into form. Now we need an out-of-state douche or two to post a screenshot of the weather in some economically-unsustainable town with nothing but Moose in every direction for miles.

My son is a student at UT and looking for a job in Austin if anyone knows of anything better than just retail/food service. -
But I thought that we were supposed to learn to live without cheap shit from China?

Those are fucking dope.

Simmons infamously hates Star Wars, but I heard he was converted after this episode. He was born in 1969. Absolutely insane that he didn’t see this movie in theaters and fall in love as a 8 year old.

You'd think that would wipe out the assists on the play, but it hasn't.

I just said we are getting the fuck out of town.

Missed the Costco chip discussion, so please accept this late contribution and thank me later:

Hippo farts are probably some weird kind of porn there.

Well that is certainly a more pointed statement than "the legal profession is in crisis," which implies that at one time it was not in crisis and doesn't really give a clue as to what the crisis might be. I didn't intend to make you defend a straw man. Your premise, in keeping with your more pointed statement immediately above, was that rich and powerful law firms, or more accurately their constituent lawyers are rarely disciplined for acts like "defrauding the courts." I submit that rather than being a result of their being rich and powerful, it's because they don't regularly defraud courts or commit other professional violations. Sure, they do unto others, but well within the letter of the law the vast majority of the time. One other factor relating to my practical considerations post above. Rich clients (eg corporations) tend not to file malpractice suits, or grievances on lawyers, they just fire them. Despite its presence in the Model Rules (and preambles are typically regarded as surplusage anyway), it's still a near- or completely meaningless phrase, aspirational rather than enforceable. See, e.g. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" and scads of other gobbledygook in legal prose from the Constitution on down.

Yes. Just reminded me of George’s candy line up.

Let's get out of our funk, take 2 of 3 against OU, and put conference title number 81 in the books.

Jeez, hockey's over for the day and it's still light out. What am I supposed to do? -
Yes, Lue was.

I think OKC/Denver could be the real Finals but it all feels very marginal right now. Minny isn't some stepping-stone to the Finals - just ask Denver - and whoever comes out of the East isn't going to be a pushover. The title still feels very in-play for everyone but GS and CLE if we're being honest (I'm assuming Ws are about to be down 3-1).

Fully agree with all of this.
