Pretty epic summer HT. Well done!

And by a store apparently run by El O El’s local emissaries;

But alas, my distractions proved my undoing as the joint was closed when I arrived:

Thank you, sir, it has definitely been memorable.

My wanderings made me a bit peckish, so I stopped here for a snack

Then promptly ran across another rave. Pretty sure it was DJ Benjamin from Ibiza that was spinning but I didn’t have the fortitude to solve my way through the crowd and see. It is party central here today.

I don't think there is a secret. I have been summoned a half-dozen times or more. My wife has never received a summons and she is furious about it. Go figure.

This.

90% of it is boring af. But there are nuggets where you find them. In one of the cases I was selected for, a former employee was suing a railroad for an injury he sustained while on the job. I learned a lot about how trains are run.

In another case a customer was suing Walmart for an injury sustained inside the store. The highlight was that he was also claiming loss of consortium. The jury deliberations got very interesting. Moral of the story: do not wish for a jury with lots of old white women for a claim of loss of consortium.

I have been selected for federal and state juries but always civil cases, never a criminal case.

Pretty sure thats some kind of gay rally and not a rave howard.

I would love to be on a jury, I think it would be fun.

I had jury duty once, like 20 years ago, which I didn't have to go to because I was in college. Never had a summons since.

Can ex-felons even serve on juries?

I was nowhere near the oldest dude there.
HT's attention was definitely focused on the male part of the crowd. *** Rage August the Machine - August LC Thread ***

He thought they were pirates

Pretty upsetting thought exercise to think about which posters I would want on my jury if I were on trial.
08-04-2018 , 03:36 PM
Especially the dog mask dude.

Wouldn't it depend on the crime and also whether you committed said crime?

I assume I’d want the same result regardless otherwise I’d plead guilty.

It’s pride day! Lots of hot babes too, but they’re into one another

Less random Dutchies commentary, more reporting of aju paraplu success rate. Ignore comments by GMLAW, those are all fake news.

I don't know if there's an "everyday luxuries" kind of thread in OOT, but if there were I would add Costco Margarita mix. Pretty f'n delicious.
08-04-2018 , 08:27 PM
Taking the Polish off the food court menu is a crime against humanity tho
08-04-2018 , 08:27 PM
There is a "cheap luxuries" thread, but not one about the everyday sort.
08-04-2018 , 08:28 PM
Nah. Chicken bake 4 lyfe.
