  1. I'm not a lawyer, but I am married to one.
  2. lol 10 on one like a northwestern locker room
  3. all those pretty forests will burn in our lifetimes.
  4. I was in London a week ago. I though the service was fine. And I really like not having to worry about the tip. If its expected, its included. If its not included, its not expected.
  5. Nah, its just caused by sitting in a truck for long stretches. I just need to be more careful about breaking up the long drives with some walking around and stretching. Flares up every few months. Usually doesn't last for more than a week at most with stretching and advil. Just a pain in the ass, literally, standing on ladders or climbing around on scaffolding. Too hot for that shit anyway.
  6. No joke indeed. I've told this story on here somewhere before, but once on a ranch in south texas I got swarmed by killer bees. I made the dash back to the truck in record time wearing work boots and snake chaps. Thank god the truck wasn't locked and the windows were already rolled up. I drove down the dirt road a little ways and after I stopped, they caught up to the truck and were trying to get at me through the windows. It wasn't until I got to pavement that I got away from them. If I had had to fumble my keys out my pocket to unlock the door, or to start the engine so I could roll up the windows, it would have been much worse than the ten stings or so I got.
  7. hey morons, "mechanical forces" are forces that are due to physical contact, meaning that the injury was caused by physical contact, and not poison or infections or whatever. "Animate" means "relating to an animal". Plants are not "animate".
  8. sciatic nerve on the right side of my ass has been heating up lately. Its been hell climbing up and down scaffolding this week.
  9. I always give the guy who empties my septic tank twenty bucks. Every couple of years I'll call him and when I say my address he knows immediately who I am and is there that day or the next at the latest. Years ago we ate at the restaurant in the hotel at Davis Mountains State Park. It must be the last place that the state of Texas hasn't leased out to an independent because the servers are (or were, this was a while back) state employees and aren't allowed to accept tips. If you tried to tip them, they would refuse it. If you left money on the table, they were supposed to drop it in a donation box by the door that went to the TPWD. Their service was fine, iirc.
  10. are we in a simulation? also, I refuse to vote in any poll that doesn't have "FUPM" as an option.
  11. Couple of years ago, I had some business cards made for my attorney wife. All they have printed on them are two words: "Stop Talking"
  12. If I had a giant schlong, I'd reference it all the damn time. And those references wouldn't be "cryptic".
  13. I could get past the family style toilet, I could get past the crushing ocean depths, but no way in fucking hell would I ever let my self be bolted into something that can only be unbolted from the outside.
  14. Exactly what I was just asking myself the other night.
  15. On the adrenochrome thing: https://www.litcharts.com/lit/fear-and-loathing-in-las-vegas/part-two-chapter-5-a-terrible-experience-with-extremely-dangerous-drugs#summary-157000 Summary of relevant text from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" followed by literary analysis. tldr: The actual compound exists, but it has no psychoactive properties. How it went from being used satirically by Thompson in the early 70s to something Democrats harvest from children in 2023 I don't know.
