  1. The kid talked to his finger. That's fucked up.
  2. I had tendinitis on and off when I resumed lifting right around 40 after about 10 years away from the gym. It was in my biceps, right where the muscle connects at the inner elbow. Had to do a lot of stretching, and biceps curls that were much lower weight going very slowly in the eccentric movement of the rep. Now, for any lifting day when I might do any work on the biceps, I spend a lot of time warming up that area.
  3. I briefly thought I might want a career in criminal law when I started law school. I interned at the Travis County DA's office the summer after my 1L year, and saw enough to say nope. I don't know how some of you do it for a living.
  4. @Ghost of LL, that's a shitty way to end the day, and I'm sorry you had to witness that. I've never seen a person die up close, not even a relatively calm passing in a hospital bed. But I'm quite certain I would react exactly as you did in that situation, from the helplessness to grabbing drinks afterwards. Only remotely comparable situation was I saw a plane crash as a kid, maybe in eighth or ninth grade. I was with my parents at church in Quantico, Virginia, and in the middle of service a small plane nose dives in an open field next to the church. The Catholic priest runs out to the crash while most of the congregation remains in the church. Several minutes later after first responders arrived on the scene, the priest comes back into the church with tears in his eyes, having administered last rites to the two passengers in the plane.
  5. He just hasn’t been admitted to practice in the federal courts in the Southern District of New York, even though he’s licensed in the state of New York. More of a formality. Like even though I’m licensed in the State of Texas which allows me to practice in every state court in Texas, I still have to apply for admission in each of the four federal districts in Texas if I want to handle a case in those courts. And he’s also a huge douchebag.
  6. From now on you will be known as Koko The Monkey.
  7. John Roberts is still a spineless wimp who can get fucked.
  8. Because he eats dicks.
  9. Great idea. Maybe if enough people call their elected leaders and voice their outrage it’ll have absolutely no impact whatsoever.
  10. So you think the couch was just asking for it, and that makes it okay, you fucking pig?
  11. So much fraud and waste going on with our state parks.
  12. I'm really enjoying being in the same conference again with those miserable goofy bastards.
  13. Three rapists. I don't think those couches gave consent.
  14. Does this mean APD is going to find Justin Baldoni's body in Town Lake near Rainey Street?
  15. I would love to be in a cougar sandwich with Laura Linney and Connie Britton.
  16. I love Lunchables.
  17. Yeah, I've developed sleeping habits of an 80-year-old man, so this is pushing bedtime for me. But I may suck it up and take my daughter who's home for spring break.
  18. I usually just go to bed. Those two minutes can really wear me out.
  19. My parents didn’t either. My dad was a Marine, and there’s not a ton of money working for that corporation. That was the era before basketball camps exploded. And there was maybe one or two Division 1 prospects there. It was mostly just a bunch of scrawny white kids whose parents wanted a week without kids.
  20. Laettner was there for a scrimmage one of the days and he seemed like a dick, even though I was a huge fan of his. Bobby Hurly and Johnny Dawkins were also there. Coach K talked a lot with the campers. Seemed like a legitimately great dude. Got my picture with him in Cameron, and he’s got a huge grin because my dad made some joke while he took the photo that made Coach K laugh.
