Daphne. And I have no idea how I know this considering we didn't watch cartoons as kids.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Speaking of vibrating, the floor here at work has been doing so off and on for the last 15 minutes. Very disconcerting. It feels like when you try to make a quick stop in a car with bad brakes, on it's the whole building shuddering like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously, it looks big, but it still goes in at the waist automagically.

You guys know you're just enabling me to think about this instead of my paper, right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

it's hard for me to get nasty to ita because of one nice thing. I am starting to think that Kat should get credit. that would make things easier. It's like the balance in the universe is all off.

Also, I am nicer than that.

JESSE GO WRITE YOUR PAPER!!!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I meant it only rings once-- just one chime-- and doesn't ring again.

Those phones also did that, out of the box. The upload solution would be to use a ring tone that's a beep and lot of dead air, longer than the repeat time. At least for the phones that aren't this one. This phone finally rings long enough that I can get across the apartment to answer it before it gets to voicemail. But there is a ringtone setting of Notify that just does the one time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Bwahahaha!!

When John G. Roberts submitted his questionnaire responses over the summer, he was able to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee that he had argued more than 65 cases in the federal appellate courts, including 39 before the U.S. Supreme Court. He said the subject matter of those cases "covered the full range of federal jurisdiction, including administrative law, admiralty, antitrust, arbitration, banking, bankruptcy, civil rights, constitutional law, environmental law, federal jurisdiction and procedure, First Amendment, health care law, Indian law, interstate commerce, labor law and patent and trade dress law."

Harriet Miers? She remembers serving as lead or sole counsel in only four trials that went as far as a verdict, and there's no indication in her responses that the trials took place in federal court. She remembers arguing four appeals in federal court, but only two of those turned primarily on federal-law issues -- and one of those, which she argued on behalf of George W. Bush, involved the rarely litigated 12th Amendment. As for the U.S. Supreme Court? Miers says she filed petitions for certiorari on behalf of two pro bono clients. The Supreme Court denied them both.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It's what we do best.

It doesn't always nip in. Case in point: [link]

bon bon, try the Notify ringtone, if you have that. I just checked my newish motorola, and that's still there. I think it goes off just the one time.

I have my phones (work cell and personal cell) on Vibe Then Ring, which usually gives me a chance to catch them going off before it gets too loud.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The Kristen, she rocks. She formatted my sample piece for the wee website for my book, and spiffied things up.

That looks great, Allyson. Yay Kristen!
