I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

Hey Lisah, is this a big Baltimore firm?

Yeah, it's pretty big.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

In the annals of "I don't watch enough Law & Order." Dumb!

You know, the NFL had to deal with this a couple years ago, with a player named Randall Gay. There are certain words you can't get on the back of a custom NFL jersey, like FUCKFACE and FARTYHEAD and the names of any players who have been convicted of murder (I think that's only one person) and various other no-no words. And until Randall Gay was drafted, GAY was one word you couldn't get. Now they have to allow it, and lots of people have been very happy to order GAY jerseys, even if they don't have any idea who Randall Gay is.

It's Canada Day, and I feel like I should be eating something grilled, but my tummy seems to be revolting against me.

I am watching the Canada Day ceremony on Parliament Hill on TV, and the main military guy who's marshaling the troops for a walk past the G-G seems to be missing his front three teeth.
