Thank you Shakespeare.
The Lawyers -- by Carl Sandburg:
THE LAWYERS, Bob, know too much.
They are chums of the books of old John Marshall.
They know it all, what a dead hand Wrote,
A stiff dead hand and its knuckles crumbling,
The bones of the fingers a thin white ash.
The lawyers know
a dead man’s thoughts too well.
In the heels of the higgling lawyers, Bob,
Too many slippery ifs and buts and howevers,
Too much hereinbefore provided whereas,
Too many doors to go in and out of.
When the lawyers are through
What is there left, Bob?
Can a mouse nibble at it
And find enough to fasten a tooth in?
Why is there always a secret singing
When a lawyer cashes in?
Why does a hearse horse snicker
Hauling a lawyer away?
The work of a bricklayer goes to the blue.
The knack of a mason outlasts a moon.
The hands of a plasterer hold a room together.
The land of a farmer wishes him back again.
Singers of songs and dreamers of plays
Build a house no wind blows over.
The lawyers—tell me why a hearse horse snickers hauling a lawyer’s bones.
When you use a netflix streaming account to your TV. Commercial free and lots to choose from. I use the Roku netflix player and between that and Lakers games over the air, I have more than enough.
I hate it when you find out that the "family" member who just claimed to be in the hospital with broken ribs, actually is fine and just angling for attention, upsetting the wifey, and blaming it on a multiple personality disorder that I believe to be phony.
I hate that!
this thread reminds me of the Bill Shatner/Henry Rollins collab "I Can't Get Behind That"

That's not the worst part. The worst part is that the source code is not publicly available, as if they were trying to hide something. Actually, they are probably hiding a lot of things. (And that's why I use Gentoo.)
Another thing that's annoying is when I'm doing a presentation on something related to engineering and everyone seems to be watching carefully. Then I ask a question and most of them are clueless. (Maybe it's my high center of gravity...)
I'm sorry, what were you saying again ?
The sound/vibration classes professor at tech-u left a retina image of the classic utterly boring nerd, everything he said was noted first time round.
Maybe there's a causality between visually less distracting persona and their info transfer score.
(Eek, low center of gravity might be a very well hidden selection requirement for professor jobs)
