fuck that guy

I am internet diagnosing him as an alcoholic (as well as an asshole.)

She did a cute guest turn on 1968 Batman, as a Catwoman protege. Didn't know she was openly lesbian, interesting. Immortal pop. YOU DON'T OWN ME!!! 4eva

Chula Vista does mean lovely view...

My daughter is leaarning it in preschool and she can't BELIEVE I don't know any ASL. I'm learning it from her.

Your soup ingredients sound hella sexy! 10/10 would do.

t's irrelevant that the cameras are on cellphones. We're these laws really not intended to cover the use of *cameras*, which have been around a long time? Cameras in the 1980s could be as small as a smartphone. A little noisier, maybe, but if you turn off the flash not much. Following someone around with a point…

I think he was, I think he did...he appealed it and I think he is going to win. He put in a lot of on-site parking, basically expanded his driveway. You can't get a contractor to do that without approval from the city. I live here and believe you me, for the neighbors and elected officials (as opposed to city…

actually one of the issues is that they *aren't* parking on the street. People are complaining because he built a parking lot on his estate. Which makes me wonder, would they prefer to have on-street parking and all the headaches that entails? The city may want a cut, but the complaining neighbors and city…

He's appealing, and I think neighborhood opinion runs 50/50. A lot of us are really annoyed at the notion he's being judged on the content of his parties rather than really any perceived nuisance or moneymaking. I have known people who were huge Cowboys fans, who had watch parties for every game, posting the…

Not the whole yard. This is freakin' stately Wayne Manor- he put a large parking area in his yard. Imagine if you have a 10,000 square foot house, you can have big parties. Even non-sex parties. And you can have parking to match. I've heard of private homes where they host debutante balls in Texas- they park…

They haven't been shut down. They have received an order and plan to appeal it. TBH I didn't even know these big parties were happening until I read about it on the listserv. It really truly isn't inconveniencing anyone- I go out all the time at night and never noticed any traffic around there. And people in the…

That was what gave the anti-swinging brigade legal purchase: in order to avoid clogging the nearby streets, he paved part of his massive yard. He made a parking lot so that gave the city an "in" I think, to charge him. If he had had his guests park in front of other people's houses, inconveniencing them, there would…

I'll tell you who cares- lots and lots of conservative busybody pearl clutchers. Just to clarify: traffic wasn't a problem because the man paved a lot of his yard to make a parking lot, which gave the complainers a wedge. If he had his guests park on the surrounding streets, it would have been a lot more annoying…

You lived in Arlington and you think the city is right about everything all the time? What if they were shutting down hip hop parties because the neighbors didn't like "that sort of thing?" I think the fellow might win his appeal.

They are appealing because it's a very gray area. But the opposition to it, is about sex. It's about the type of parties. People are using the parking lot/paved driveway as a wedge, but the councilmen are on record as objecting to "that sort of thing." They aren't bad neighbors at all.

I live in this north Arlington neighborhood and I don't think that's true it all. They have never bothered me. It's a big house set back from the street. I would call it a mansion; it has gates. My read on it is that the people who are bothered are bothered by the sex. Which nobody has seen or heard; one of our…

I live in this neighborhood and I don't think that's true.

I live in this neighborhood, a few blocks from this house, and yes. Yes that is true. (I'm not a swinger, and had never heard of them before the controversy, but I'm pro-sex, pro-privacy, pro-fun, natch.) I will say I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who were willingly to publicly say, "Oh for god's…
