The getting pissy is definitely a Survivor tactic -- the more offended you act, the more it looks like you might actually be telling the truth, and the more people you can get to trust you.
It won't help him as much in TAR, I think.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Our JHT was originally notable for the flaw in its big glass windows, which had them shattering whenever a high wind blows. And it blew a whole lot. So for a while in the 70s, it was a 60 story plywood-sided skyscraper. Such fun!
I was under the impression that this problem has not been 100% corrected. Anyway, one day 2 years ago, when the wind gusted up to 40 mph, someone put up Caution tape all around the building and they closed the sidewalks.
I would say this is an urban legend, but I thought the whole "UMASS built a library without accounting for the weight of the books" thing was a myth. Then, someone showed me that the fences around the building and the basement entrance are, in fact, designed to make 100% sure that no bricks pop out of the facade and brain lawsuit-happy college students.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
the chocolate drink sounds yuck to me, as does drinking something salty. salt edged margs work because of the tangy sweetness.
gatorade is the yuck.
salty food on the other hand. mmmm mmm goodness.
blue flavor = coconut, and is the yum. thus says my sno-cone knowledge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
blue flavor = coconut
You've seen coconuts, right? And blueberries, for instance?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

blue flavor is also sometimes vanilla, from my shave ice experiences.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Re TAR: If I wanted to see Survivor tactics, I'd watch Survivor. Personally, I'd rather see it played the way Kris & Jon did.
I just watched the funniest DVD Easter egg ever! Final Fantasy's version of MJ's Thriller.

organizing a bunch of local and state codes - so that the community mama cats 'have some ideas of the laws out there and the impact on them - as well as the people they don't want.

Lawyer-world-working Buffistas? What does "PC" stand for, in e.g. "Connor & Hilliard, P.C."? Cause I'm thinking not "Physician's Corporation", which was the answer last time I had an almost identical question.
Fred Pete - Mar 09, 2005 8:52:54 am PST #5515 of 10002
Ann, that's a ferret.
Emily, I think it's Professional Corporation. I've seen the abbreviation used with a fair number of law firms.
