It didn't die, just flew away. And I think there are plenty of good reasons to drive invasive species that don't belong in your habitat (at least not during all seasons) away, even if you need to kill them to do so.

One of my proudest moments was when I hit a Canada goose with a javelin in high school. Those assholes had been shitting all over our sports fields for decades, and the town couldn't do anything about it because they were classified as migratory water fowl even though they failed to migrate and just shat in our…

You're right, what I wrote was a bit of an oversimplification; there are some worker's comp awards that could be paid out for injuries even if you're still able to do your present job. But my main point remains— in the US, you cannot sue your employer for big bucks if you suffer a workplace injury, period. You get…

Not if this story happened in the US. Workers can't sue for workplace injuries; they get workers' comp instead. Burning his hand that badly probably got his medical bills paid, and partial wage replacement for the time that he had to miss from work due to the burns (which would have been substantial if he was unable…

Don't worry about stealing it, that line's been around since the Cleveland Browns used it in the 70s. Great for shutting down idiots.

Ahh, the classic Cleveland Browns response.

Not really. There's basically no type of law you could do where, in today's world, you'll actually be standing in front of a judge being called "counsel" more than you're talking to other people who will use less formal forms of address. That's even including prosecutors, public defenders, landlord/tenant lawyers,…

At least in my neck of the woods, lawyers aren't addressed by the job title except occasionally in court (and in court is at most a tiny part of almost any lawyer's practice).

I like my coffee with tomatoes in it, to mask the coffee flavor. COME AT ME, PINKHAM!!!

I don't think the alcoholic Irish Coffees are that popular in general?

I really, really hope Linda Colt charged that dumb customer for an Irish coffee and not just a regular one.

Just because turds come in many varieties doesn't make any of them less shit than any others.

Also, men, don't fuck bad tippers, either!

If you insist.

Looks like GhostOfCourtneyStoddensBoobs isn't paying attention to you right now, so allow me:

It is the rule that employers must make up the difference between the tipped wage and the federal minimum wage . . . per pay period. So you can still cause a waiter to get less than minimum wage on any particular day, so long as they get customers who aren't assholes on other days.

(yes, in the Mustang...I know, shoot me, but she did her job and I alway kept her clean and maintained, as I still do now)

Am I the only one who read this:

It's been gross every time I've had it (which is once). Like fruitcake with gloppy custard. And such a wasted opportunity, because if I enjoyed eating something called "spotted dick," I would certainly eat that ALL THE TIME because that is one of the best food names ever.

I do hate it when I order tea here in a coffee shop and they make it with "near-boiling" water out of their little taps. If I wanted slightly tea-flavored water distinctly lacking enough polyphenols, that's what I'd ask for.
