fine like silk?











wtf is up with R*R tonight? jfc.

lololol

People telling me to read stuff.

whom?

Gaslighting: current home, Mrs. T accuses me of this weekly. I also read the book as a teen.

Occam's Razor: my family growing up. Every time someone did something stupid, my father would roll his eyes and sigh "Occam's Razor again."

Goalpost shifting: ten years working at BigCo and thirty years litigating -- the other side always seems to shift the goalposts even if they don't.

straw men and red herrings are law school staples, and i'm quite sure I've said both on a formal record any number of times, often with an LKJ air of mild superiority.

solid.

Forgive my ignorance. LKJ?

I agree he has every right to be there. However, as a courtesy he could either move to another lane, or at least move forward a little.

Thanks... I wasn't trying to be sneaky, but didn't realize my error until you pointed it out.

You needs to read the bibles.

Littering.

Just saw somebody throw the last few bites of a burrito from their car, through the passenger window, onto the strip of grass between the road and sidewalk.

Really? Is it that difficult to take your **** wherever you're going and dispose of it properly?

Probably should piss me off, but not to the level of insta-rage that it invoked in me.

OOT poster LKJ, who delights in correcting my logical, grammatical and judgment errors with a friendly air of smug contemptuousness. Redeye has the right of it.

In what world should it not?

Littering isn't like shopping carts, there's no debate to be had.

Well, it was organic litter, so you could argue that he was feeding the wild animals that live in the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the road, like, um... ants, and... very small cows?

You;re right, jish. I mean the level to which it pissed me off. I yelled "what the ****" as the guy drove past, hoping he'd hear me and stop. I was ready to go if he did.

I just can't stand those levels of sheer laziness and lack of thought about anyone else.

Except when I do something thoughtless or lazy. Of course, that's o.k.

Heard Eyes Without a Face yesterday and always thought the background singers were saying "That ****'s all been done" but knew that couldn't be correct so finally looked it up.

Pissed that they are singing "eyes without a face" in French.

My lyrics are more fun

"The more you buy, the more you save!"

...and the more you buy, the more you own.....and the more you own the less you will need to buy, so the more you save!

Did they throw only the burrito out the window or was the wrapper thrown as well?

Didn't seem to be a wrapper, just the tail-end of the burrito. Which is probably the best part (?).

Something else that's been pissing me off lately is the social justice messages on the back of NBA players' jerseys.

Not because those ideas aren't important, they really are. It's that the players move so quickly, the print is small enough, and on the back, that the message can't be read during the telecast. Thus this is just the NBA giving lip service to these causes.

The warmups are much better, with large print on the front, and the players are owning it. +1 to the WNBA players who are giving a huge FU to their team's owner. Takes a lot of guts to take on the power (rightly or wrongly, I don't know).

Agreed. Love that last bite.

As for the burrito itself, a bird or critter will come along and clean that up. One could argue that dude saved wildlife.

Pretty sure human food isn't good for wildlife. Especially a burrito so bad someone throws part of it out.

I happened to go by there later in the day, and didn't see it, so something got it, or the day care place sent someone out to clean it up.

I'm sorry, did you go patrolling for that discarded food?
