A Civil campaign is what does it for me, the twins are awesome.

Oh, how I love that book! And everything else Bujold has written! I think she is the most criminally under-recognized great author I have ever experienced.

Still laughing from when I saw it this morning. The paramedic getting out of the ambulance already on fire -LOLforever!

With all of the distractions, I almost didn’t see the crash either.

Okay, so the yellow Megane came in too hot but did a good job (and had a lot of luck) avoiding everyone. What I don’t get is that the driver of the white Megane (with the World of Fitness graphics, not the plain one), which had slowed in time, then accelerated onto the grass to get around everyone. What the hell did…

When does Finney start his Deadspin career?

During the SNL 40th special, I was thinking that when you consider it being 40 years, the sheer number of cast members who have been on the show, and the amount of drugs and alcohol that have gone through all the casts, it’s almost surprising that as many performers are alive as there are.

Gilda.

The final SNL episode that Hartman and Farley were in as cast mates, had the last shot of them hugging each other and waving goodbye to the camera. Within less than a year of that episode airing, they were both dead. Tragic...

Yep serious. I think the cop must have been a rookie or something, but he had that “I am so fucked” look on his face when he realized what was happening as he was being questioned. And the judge was like “you wrote the ticket wrong, and failed to cite for the other offenses, case dismissed” it was an older guy, so he…

The only time I’ve seen a speeding ticket thrown out in court, the officer was in court and did testify, and the guy was defending himself. Of course the incident in question was that the man parked on a hill and not set the brake and the car rolled down the hill through a stop sign and hit a car on the cross street,…

Kind of useless to apply gauze to something that is already dead.

I’m afraid you’ve conflated Plenty O’Toole (Bond: “Named after your father, I assume?” —played by Natalie Wood’s sister Lana) and Honey Rider (Ursula Andress, in Dr. No.). Source—Bond and Bond girl fan-for different reasons, obvioushly.

While I agree with your general message, I think prolonging the amount of time before any points are processed and added to your record can be helpful.

Illyan is always the shit, second only to Cordelia herself.

Be sure to tell the Judge that he or she is on the take - they really like to know that the people they’re going to lock up forever will blame the system rather then them personally ;)

Just do like I do:

That’s bullshit, Steve. You’re clearly a shill for big...um...courthouse? It’s not in your best interest or the court’s best interest to throw out tickets, so when we know this “one cool trick”, you all lose out on that revenue. I’m on to you, Steve.

Alas, that doesn’t work at all in Washington State. Here their testimony is the report they filed - the police won’t show unless you subpoena them. It is interesting to watch the deer-in-the-headlight look of some teenage kid who thinks that he’s home-free since there are no police at the proceedings once they’re…

You’re wrong because a friend of mine tried it once and it worked.
