Both my girlfriend and I are lawyers and she works in a court for a judge, she oversees jury selections all the time. The most common reason people get removed from consideration is if they have a set and unchangeable view on the issue in question. If it's an assault case, people who say things like "Well, two of my friends were assaulted this year and I think assault perpetrators should go to prison for at least 10 years." will never get chosen. It's the same with any crime: Murder- "All murderers should get the death penalty." Fraud- "A friend of mine had their identity stolen and fraudsters should spend life in jail." Simply being "ignorant" or eccentric/weird doesn't really matter, because typically ignorant or uninformed people are the easiest to convince. They therefore make quite good jurors.
I want to say something funny about Bill Walton, but all I can come up with is "God this guy fucking sucks." Listening to Bill Walton is like hearing an extra chromosome develop.
While stopped at a light today I had a bum walk up to my truck and began "I'm a singer/songwriter..." and told a tale that wound all over the place before winding up at his point of "...and I was wondering if you could spare a few bucks to help me out?" The gist of the story was the bible store had a Strong's Concordance on sale and he just had to have for some bug fuck crazy reason. I gave him $5 for originality.
Why have I only recently discovered lentils? I mean, they're stupid easy to make and are just begging to have bacon added to them. And the best part is, people think they're high class for some reason. They're like the champagne of grain products. I mean, sure, you could go with rice and be lame. Or you could go with lentils and bacon and be awesome. Your choice.
The hobos in Venice Beach had really interesting rhymes about you giving them money for weed. There was one guy in particular that I wanted to hang out with. I bet hobos have the best stories. Unfortunately when we turned around at sunset to head back, he was all packed up and gone. The cops there are militant about sending the hobos on their way when the sun goes down. Darn.
I thought lentils were a legume, not a grain. But, I do love lentil chips and humus. Delish. The "high class" thing cracks me up, too. It's like edamame and mukimame - dude, you are tasty, but you're still a soy bean. Now, that is a fortune cookie I'd like to get.
I always thought of lentils as poor people food, kind of like dried beans. I mean, I buy them in the same aisle as the dried beans. They are cheap and very nutritious. But if you eat them enough over a month's time, suicide is a real option.
Re: Spam spam spam spam Potted meat is a long running joke in my family. My mom got a bunch of it on sale somewhere shady and my dad made labels with a paint created possum drawn on the front. They were then distributed as Christmas gifts. Welcome to Alabama!
Start calling mixed beans or lentils a blend of legumes and boom, we're fancy. Marketing. There's Alabama for you, keeping it classy. Then again, my favorite Canadian had a Possum Van too.
Is it just me, or does he look like the guy from Justified who played the tranny on Sons of Anarchy...and got real old? For reference...
This whole thing utterly baffles me. I just don't get it. I couldn't care less if he wants to be a woman, whatever floats your boat. But the dude is 65. I just don't get what makes someone that age say 'you know what, I've been a man all my life, had kids, been married twice, won a gold medal. I'm 65, time to change shit up. I'd like a vagina and tits.' Hey, if it makes him happy, go with God, but I just don't get it.
Wait, so this is a real thing, and not just a bit from The Soup? He's really getting a vagina & tits?
How about we just move on and let her live her life? As if it wouldn't be hard enough with Kanye as your son-in-law. This shit being news-worthy annoys me.
I think he was married three times, so it is not like he did not give living like a man a chance. He raced sports cars, did adventure shows. There was a time in the late 70s early 80s when He was pretty much a go to guy to do adventure or extreme sports specials for ABC. I am not so far away from 65 to think is this going to be me pretty soon? I really need some Booty/Boob postings to keep me on the straight path right now. Yeah that is it. I am really in a vulnerable time in my life.
