  1. thanks, ludwig! i wonder, though, if there was another case similar to this because i know i heard about it in high school in the 70s.
  2. um, well, HEY, LOOK OVER THERE! (quickly gathers stuff and runs out the opposite door while everyone's distracted)
  3. and to show just how unfair life can be, he's probably made more money than you and i combined will ever make.
  4. i'm guessing your mother-in-law feels the same exact way about you.
  5. yes, we've been watching. it's good to have it back on the air. i'm hoping they'll surprise us with the stuff that made this such a great show its first three seasons. the terrorist mom is pretty brutal.
  6. when i was in high school there was a case (maybe early/mid 70s) of an inmate in washington state who was convicted capitol crimes and sentenced to death. as it was told by our gov't teacher, he was allowed to choose his method of execution, so he chose hanging and the state accepted that request. he then turned around and sued the state saying that hanging would violate his 8th amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment as he was obese and worried that hanging could possibly snap his head off, causing him great pain and plenty of mental anguish leading up to the execution. the courts agreed with him, and his execution was stayed. this inmate died a few years ago, and i kept the obit about him, but i have no idea where i've put him and i can't remember the name of the inmate. i think his first name may have been allen. i tried a google search but kept drawing a blank because i really don't know what to type in the search bar. anyone got any helpful ideas? i'd like to use this case in my classes next year and thought maybe one of the legal eagles here could help. TIA.
  7. yes, that was an impressive way to hold off the assault. rangers look very strong and will give the kings a good run in the cup finals.
  8. i want them to bring back circle vision 360 america the beautiful and the carousel of progress.
  9. then you should probably invest in a laptop version of this, just to keep your laptop well hidden in public.
  10. yeah, it's a real catch 22. you want to keep your seats, but you may also want to make a statement about not giving any of your money to this clown. tough position to be in.
  11. as long as you're not a belly itcher. we don't want any of those guys.
  12. if it matters, my brother and i were talking about it saturday night as well as last week against the bruins.
  13. ah, okay. do you remember who was the last one executed by firing squad? i'm drawing a blank.
  14. well, the pen is mightier than the sword . . .
  15. went to fanfest in 2012 and rode to arizona with bruce and superdave. we had a great time telling stories. bruce has easily become one of my top 60 or 70 favorite people here at aw.com. would love to play golf with him sometime.
  16. the last public firing squad execution i'm aware of was gary gilmore in utah in 1977. there were five or six shooters, and only one of them had a live round in the chamber. he chose to be executed this way, but i don't think it's an option any longer to choose this method.
  17. then you should probably go into a different line of work, if you don't mind me saying so.
  18. where ya from, boy? texas. there's only two things that come from texas, and i don't see no horns on you, boy.
  19. i'm glad michael bay isn't directing. there are rumors that tomorrowland at disneyland is going to become a star wars themed land.
  20. this kid has a problem with running into goalies. he did it in the last series, too. makes him look like a punk.
