you don't sound like Cowherd unless you mean "black people" by "purists."

Dexter Manley likes what you have to say and would like you to read more of it to him.

This is the stuff that brings me back, over and over. Work rate and puroreso? I lose focus. Shane Douglas torpedoing himself and all the old backstage stuff? Never gets old with me.

Great point. I'm a bit conflicted. Taylor sounds like a self-promoter par excellence...with an issue I want promoted that, if he's willing to get it into the spotlight, I'm game. I have an issue with trying to scoop others and control the story, though. That's not cool.

We just installed a video conferencing system in each of our offices. The olds would rather drive one to two hours to meet in person on routine matters, taking less than an hour for the actual meeting, rather than learn something new. (And the new is basically "hey, kid, turn this on at 3 for me.")

I've had that job. It's probably how I found half my internet locales. And did you know there was a limit on hotmail messages, at least in 2004? My spouse and I maxed it out almost daily on those down weeks.

Not to pile on to the weather, but that made me think of sludge. I had a boss that "didn't think the weather was an issue; you chose to live here." Four hour drive that will take eighteen because of lake effect? Better leave right after work. And not early.

As a manager, I try for ROWE-esque environments. We're a law office and today everyone is in jeans, I hear music playing, one dog just wandered by, and it's not unusual for a baby or toddler to be here with a parent. I don't get much sludge from my bosses, other than requiring all sorts of timesheets in duplicate just…

When I was at a private firm, so much sludge. The whole day was a stack of inefficiencies nestled on top of each other, designed so that routine tasks could be stretched to fill time sheets.

Getting out of Watertown is generally a healthy move for anyone.

Agreed. He has no guarantee he'll catch on with a team or have a career. He has a narrow window to cash in on his name. I doubt I'd watch his show, but I can't blame him for doing what he can to carry his message and/or get paid.

I'm squarely Team Cat and this still is the best post ever.

40 and agree. I can't imagine subjecting myself to two relationships. Usually I want to find mopey 20something me who just wanted a relationship and beat him with a pipe.

True, in the court of public opinion. In the court of law, though, lawyers from both sides will be dealing with a narrow set of issues. The question, when busted for DWI, isn't if they stopped all the other guys speeding away from the party, but if one has a certain BAC. "Does the league have authority to remove DS?"…

Seriously. That's got every false-email-from-elderly-relatives red flag waving on it.

I can't dispute he might have dementia, but I also (not saying you implied, btw) that it's an excuse. That's my Racist Elderly Relatives(tm) position on this—anyone who is offended by a sick old man is really the intolerant one, ignoring the reality of his racist history.

I think I get your original point, and I have to agree. I don't see Logan appearing in a demure and respectful costume. Maybe she did at some point, but I mainly remember very styled blonde hair and tight sweaters.

I had straight 99.x%, so it's akin to pointing out I'm not just old, but have no excuse not to still be in some sort of shape.

Edited because Kinja.
