Hey Lisah, is this a big Baltimore firm?

re Les Nessman et al. - I still hear echoes of the first episode when Howard Hesseman's character, being told that the format is changing and he'll have more freedom, blasts Cincinnati with some rock music and then leans into the microphone and says "bugger" (actually, I think it was "buggahhhhhhhhh")

I'm assuming he's a relative of billytea.

Tyson Homosexual.... bahahahahaha...I am 12 today.

I tend to lowball the pain. When I had my surgery, I kept telling them I didn't need pain meds. Finally the nurse said "I'm not asking you if you can bear it, I'm asking if you feel any pain at all" and I said "well yeah, it hurts but I can deal." She then made me take some drugs.

My friend Julie said when she was in labor, she realized there's no reason to overestimate one's pain threshold BEFORE you are in full blown labor. She said she was about a 7 on pain tolerance before the kid. With the twins, apparently she said she was a 2.

I don't wanna go teach summer school.

Yeah, it's pretty big.

Oh man, back in the 90s the semi-local hockey team had a Thanksgiving promotion with Richard Sanders involving paper turkeys dropping onto the ice from the arena ceiling. I felt kind of bad for the guy, as the announcers only referred to him as "Less Nessman" rather than acknowledge that he was an actor famous for playing that part.

There's a firm based on Baltimore that is my work nemesis. Starts with a V. We hates them and they are stupid and incompetent.

Doesn't start with a V.

There are several people there who treated her well and seemed basically competent but the culture is just so toxic. I'm thrilled she's getting out.

Man, how awesome would it be if lisah's friend could sabotage bon bon's nemeses? It's like work Strangers on a Train!

This is very strange....

Con-artist convinces town he's a super Fed who doesn't need search warrants

Yoder sez, "Bill Jakob, a former trucking company owner with law enforcement experience, spent 'several months' pretending to be a federal agent in the town of Gerald, MO. Jakob apparently spent his time aggressively busting drug suspects, with the complicity of the local police department, claiming 'he did not need search warrants to enter their homes because he worked for the federal government.'"

...

The strange adventures of Sergeant Bill have led to the firing of three of the town’s five police officers, left the outcome of a string of drug arrests in doubt, prompted multimillion-dollar federal civil rights lawsuits by at least 17 plaintiffs and stirred up a political battle, including a petition seeking the impeachment of Mr. Schulte, over who is to blame for the mess.

And the questions keep coming. How did Mr. Jakob wander into town and apparently leave the mayor, the aldermen and pretty much everyone else he met thinking that he was a federal agent delivered from Washington to help barrel into peoples’ homes and clean up Gerald’s drug problem? And why would anyone — receiving no pay and with no known connection to little Gerald, 70 miles from St. Louis and not even a county seat — want to carry off such a time-consuming ruse in the first place?

It's rather disturbing to me that he convinced police officers that he didn't need a warrant....
