  1. Haven't seen anyone mention John Mulaney's: Everybody's in L.A.

     

    "Look, you either come do bad things with me and Herb Albert, or you don't come at all!"

    -Lou Addler

     

    Edit to say that this is, without a doubt, the best talk show of all time.

    Yeah, that was my one experience with Valentina's at the trailer. Long wait in line, which is typical for a high-end BBQ place. However, most long trips through the line end with food on your tray as you walk away from the counter to go sit down and eat. Not there. Food was damn good, though.

    Shorter line and shorter wait, but Stanley's is like that.  One cashier for dine-in and one for to-go.  Line hack is to call in your order from the line and go have a drink at the bar.  But you end up eating your food out of a styrofoam container, which isn't ideal.  But if you wait in line, it's reasonably quick, you speak your soup in a loud, clear voice, you pay, and your food comes out to you pretty quickly, and you have a chance to order your drink at the bar while you wait.  It's not the worst.

    because what that means is that the judge isn't giving me anything to complain about on appeal

    This, all day long.  Of course, Chapter one in The Secret of Success on Appeal is called "Win at Trial."  The rest of the chapters have to do with what happens if you don't.

     

    It's also the reason that he's trying to avoid jail for contempt if at all possible and why he's being careful in tailoring the gag order.  The last thing he wants is an interlocutory appeal with a possible stay of trial with a jury empaneled.  Sure, it's a long shot, but Trump doesn't care about the odds (insert failed casino joke here).

    She still laughs about your small penis and premature ejaculation issue, so we can call it even I guess.

    I remember it like it was yesterday.

    Counterpoint, all lawyers are ridiculous to some degree 

    The most ridiculous thing I ever did was take your mom to a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

     

     

    Just kidding.  I called her again.

  6. Is the absence of the jury important to the process? Just curious.
    Yes.  Because a prosecutor is not allowed to comment on a defendant's decision not to testify. So a short hearing where the defendant takes the stand for the limited purpose of acknowledging through a short Q&A admonishment, either with his attorney or the judge, that he understands his rights in this regard necessarily has to occur with no jury present.

    It's pretty standard to put a criminal defendant on the stand (outside the jury's presence) and admonish them on the privilege against self-incrimination and right not to testify (and that the prosecution can't bring that up in front of the jury), and if Blanche doesn't request to have Trump on the stand outside of the jury's presence to get his understanding of these rights on the record, the judge likely will.

    Wait, so is Trump 'our' Tenzing Norgay or 'their' Tenzing Norgay?  

    At some point, the analogy falls apart sadly.  Just remember the judge sits on the case, we stand.

    I don’t have a picture but I watched an old pro the other night play a few hour set of the whole catalogue of country, blues, classic rock, bar band, etc etc. All he had was some sort of a dimed 5e3 and a volume knob on a beat up Strat. His very wide range of tone was perfect for every song. Dude was a master player and a master of the volume knob. Just fantastic.

    /csb

    This video is long and not terribly exciting, but it really goes through how interactive the interactive volume controls and tone control is on a 5e3.  There's a lot you can do with them, and it can be almost frustrating at times.

    He's good, I've recorded him.  Nice guy, too.

    *Choucroun

    I knew him and David Beebe.  He was a year behind me in school, but he took several years off between high school and college to tour with BBS.  When I was a senior, he was a freshman at UT and we had a biology class together.  He's super nice and a great drummer.

    They had some young kid play drums when they played Cottonwood in Houston. He was fantastic.

    That kid is in his late 40s.

    Conrad Chouroun of Banana Blender Surprise et al.  He's been playing off and on with Kevin since the S'hat Records days of the early/mid 90s.

    I’m curious to how they can even bring supporting character witnesses in.

    Something like this?

    I’ve seen similar hundreds of times.  Didn’t want to mention it because I get that people don’t believe the ‘we got him’ narrative, but I said WAY back all the trials would melt what’s left of his brain.  
    I have seen the worst of narcissists fall apart when they’re stressed like this - many of them I had to sign into dementia units due to how quickly it all falls apart.  
    There’s a 100% chance this is really going to affect him - but he could tough out another year, and we all see his delay tactics, and the election is the biggest one of those.  So let’s see…got my popcorn ready.  

    Yeah.  I'm no doctor, but the first two weeks of this trial seems to have aged him.  

     

    Or as the Candyman put it, "The suspense is terrible.  I hope it lasts."

    In Gartner’s eyes, the stress of the trial could be exacerbating Trump’s decline, hastening the unraveling of a man once synonymous with authority.

    “The trial is really a form of psychological torture for a malignant narcissist who needs to appear powerful. Instead, he appears small, confused, and helpless,” he observed.

  18. His is probably the real deal with the right angle.  Mine is a a "brew bucket.  It has sort of a conical bottom so you can pull off above the cake once you drop your yeast, etc.  But not big money like an actual conical.
