Damn it, I didn't catch your error in time. Oh well, I'll post it anyway...



This is what he had at first: "I assumed it was a block of better."

I've seen the woman in this commercial in two others. One for a phone company?? and one for BWW.

Saw on FB that there is an auction for all the furnishings in the the house @wxman1 posted about in CR.

Kicked but in college Jeopardy today

Me too. I couldn't believe some of the questions they did not know.

Honestly I just understood Gr8s post. I finally read it as butt and not but.

If they are being honest (which in some spectacular cases can be a big "if") , over 85% of the time they aren't even telling themselves "you may be not guilty".

But then again, there's the old prosecutor in me coming to the fore. Public defenders play an important role in our system, but I don't want to do it!

The only criminal cases I take now are for long-established clients of other sorts who need some help (and there aren't too many of those).

I have often wondered how defense lawyers rationalize what they do. I understand the theory of defending your client to the best of your ability.....but it has to leave a very unpleasant taste in their mouth at times (I would think, anyway).

There was a movie called ".....And Justice For All" with Al Pacino some years ago. His partner had defended a real sicko and gotten him off on a technicality, and of course the perp went on to hurt some more people. The lawyer became unhinged - he couldn't rationalize to himself anymore what he had done. Pretty strong stuff.

You heading over there?

I was thinking this myself. Did she get a month ban or something??

What’s the bets on what she’s doing?

1) lurking and unable to post. Don’t she she pulled a GTO and ended up with a double ban.

2) Cross stitching like mad

3). Working on the first kid

4). PAinting rooms

5). Running in circles with her clown foot

6). What else?

I have to clear it out somehow before moving in.

- Spreadsheets

- Prepping for kickball, dodgeball, or volleyball season. Hopefully kickball season. That's my personal favorite.

Have fun with all those bathtubs.

Did not see anything in that house that I would want. Not my style . . .

I'm blaming it on autocorrect

MrsWx complained about that too. I told her to hire a peasant to clean them.

It isn't the cleaning as much as just "hey, here's a bathtub in the middle of the room! Every room!"

Hubby was watching it (at work downstairs) and said it was easy, it they couldn't get the sports questions.

That always cracks me up about the college Jeopardy contestants. They can tear through any science, literature and history question out there, but the screen looks like a still-shot when Alex reads off something like "In football, a touchdown counts for this many points"

So many good OT threads right now, the RTT is suffering.

Maybe germophobes? Could be lizard people and they don’t want to dry out. The movie V is actually happening?

I thought V was a television series. Was it also a movie?

One of the Jeopardy writers is from Nebraska (so Husker fan). There was a category on just generic football terms/rules one time, and all the questions were video questions, using players from the Nebraska team. I think maybe one question was answered correctly.

Thought it was a 2-3 part series. There was a remake of it awhile ago I remember.
