So how was everyone's day?

Left lane drivers going 20mph below the posted speed limit.

People who brake for traffic in another lane.

Rubberneckers.

The vigilante driver... you know the type, they pull in front of you to make you slow down because they've determined that you are driving too fast.

The relative of a cop... you better feel lucky that they are not their relative, because if they were, they would give you a ticket.

The follow you home guy... oh I cut you off, so you follow me to my house. what? you were gonna say something, right? Well, I guess you wouldn't think that a 6'3" black dude that weighs close to 300lbs would be driving a Ford Escape, eh? Guess what FUCKER, I DO!!! (I swear these type of people are lucky I get a kick out of it, people have been shot over less).

Have fun CRX...

I was listening to R&F a few nights back and they were discussing a topic that I found hysterical. It got me thinking and I came up with a theory but before I divulge my theory and what the topic was, I need concrete evidence.

So ladies - please answer the following questions for me if you will?

If a guy offers to take you on a 4-5 day vacation to, lets say, the Caribbean, would you accept?
How well would you need to know the guy to accept?
What would your expectations be of/from him?
Would you sleep with him on the trip?

Please answer as honestly as possible. Thank you.

I'd have to say 40 Below summer - Invitation to the Dance or Deftones - Around the Fur,..DEFINATE fucking music. :fuckin:

I am constantly amazed by the stupidity of people. But, it has me wondering if maybe I'm the one who's stupid. For instance, if you constantly say 'How are you?' to me and I always answer with a one word answer... wouldn't you take the hint that I don't care to share with you?

If I tell you, 'Go to this website.', wouldn't you assume I want to show you something? Then why would you care if I said 'please' first?

Now, I know I'm an asshole, but personally I hate it when people have to beat around the bush with nicities they don't mean, rather than just spitting out their question.

I won't go into stupidity on the road, that's a completely different level of stupidity.

Thank you for your time.

<center>The Fragile

She shines
In a world of ugliness
She matters
When everything is meaningless

She doesn't see her beauty
She tries to get away
Sometimes
It's just that nothing seems worth saving

I wont let you fall apart

She reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
Hoping someone can see
If I could fix myself I'd -
But it's too late for me

I wont let you fall apart


We'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
I'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

It's something I have to do
I was there, too
Before everything else

I was like you</center>

Does anyone remember the episode of WWF Superstars, on Saturdays in the mid to late 80's, that hd Rowdy Roddy Piper vs Quick Draw Rick McGraw?

I remember the match well for a very sick reason but it just seems surreal. Piper ended the match with the sleeper, his normal finishing move. Problem was, Rick didn't "come to". He was carried out on a stretcher, never to return. Well, he didn't return because the fucker died. They announced it the following week as a matter of fact.

Now, did he really die in the ring? That's the part that bugs the shit out of me. Would the WWF, which at the time was very geared towards children, show some jobber take the dirt nap? I mean today it is likely that Vince would make a fuckin angle out of the whole fiasco, but then was a totaly different ball game.

Quote:B'klyn Judge Arrested
Jurist charged with
taking 250G bribe to fix case



veteran Brooklyn judge was charged with bribery yesterday after allegedly taking as much as $250,000 from a lawyer to fix a case, according to law enforcement authorities.

State Supreme Court Justice Victor Barron was arrested one block from his Marine Park home shortly after 6 a.m. by investigators from the office of Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes.


State Supreme Court Justice Victor Barron is taken into custody yesterday.
Barron, 60, was suspended — with pay — by the state Court of Appeals as prosecutors began combing through other cases handled by the judge, who presided over several thousand pending civil cases.

The arrest was the first of a sitting state Supreme Court justice in the city since 1987, according to the state Commission on Judicial Conduct.

But it is the latest of a spate of corruption allegations involving the judiciary in Brooklyn, where judges have been tied to a patronage scandal and other acts of alleged wrongdoing.

Released Without Bail

A somber-looking Barron entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment last night before Brooklyn Criminal Court Judge Martin Karopkin, who released him without bail. If convicted, he faces up to 15 years behind bars.

Afterward, Barron, who earns $113,000 a year, refused to discuss the case. His defense lawyer, Barry Kamins, also declined to comment.

At the arraignment, prosecutor Michael Vecchione filed a criminal complaint that said Barron had demanded the bribe on consecutive days last June inside the state courthouse at 15 Willoughby St. In return, he promised to issue an order relating to a pending civil case, which sources said involved a seven-figure settlement.

Law enforcement sources said the bribe demand was made to a personal injury lawyer who later reported the incident to authorities. The lawyer, who was not identified, was fitted with a wire and recorded a meeting last Friday in the judge's chambers when the "six-figure" bribe was paid, the sources said.

In the complaint, Hynes' chief investigator, George Terra, said that after taking the payment, Barron blurted: "The money was worth it to have the civil matter resolved." Hynes' office declined to identify the personal injury lawyer or describe the nature of the civil case. The complaint did not specify the amount of the bribe except to say it was more than $10,000.

David Bookstaver, a spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration, announced the judge's suspension, but declined to comment further. After arresting Barron, investigators went to the judge's home, a red brick two-family house on E. 36th St., to conduct a search.

"They came in and went over my home with a fine-toothed comb. They found nothing," said Barron's wife Joy, 71, as she stood red-eyed at her front door. "They went over the car, over everything they could go over. Nothing."

"It never happened, it's not true," she said of the bribe allegation. "He has more integrity than any 10 people, and anybody that knows him knows that."

Could Face Removal

Barron, a Democrat, was named a Civil Court judge in 1987 and elected to Supreme Court in 1999. In recent years, he has presided over a court part that reviews all noncity civil cases, trying to settle them before sending them out for trial.

Even if acquitted, Barron could still face removal by the Commission on Judicial Conduct.

The Brooklyn legal community seemed shock by the news of his arrest. "He's a fine judge. I am flabbergasted," said Edward Reich, a lawyer for 40 years who said he knows Barron well. "He has always been held in the highest esteem. The guy is squeaky clean."
