what does this real estate talk mean-“THE LARGEST 2BR W BALCONY. ECCENTRIC WATER, BRIDGE and PANORAMIC NYC VIEWS”
— explain what eccentric water is? or even eccentric view?
(actually could be nice apt for ya c’gar if could tolerate dumbo and big highrise).
All the bitchin’ ’bout jury duty is self-entitled people not used to be treated like one of the masses. They are used to ‘special’ treatment. Just because in outside life, they think they are big-sh*ts, in jury duty they are just another joe-schmoe.
300 people sitting around doing nothing for 8 hours? For the union people in the room, it was SOP. But why can’t they have people “on call”? Yes, they said it’s an 8-year rotation. And good to know you’re to blame for this, Slopey.
CGar — just to follow on your jury duty post from yesterday. I’ve actually gone through the funhouse of taking a case to jury trial in Kings County. The court knows how many cases are scheduled to go, but there’s often a lot of last minute negotiations and many cases settle on the day they are set to pick jurors. Other cases fizzle or get adjourned for all kinds of crazy reasons. Sometimes judges overbook and then bump cases, etc. Plaintiffs fail to show. Counsel fails to show. Judge is out sick. Trials from previous week run overtime. And it is hard to know how many prospective jurors will be bounced for a panel. So it is really hard to know how many potential jurors are needed on a given day. Did they really tell you it is an 8 year rotation now?
i broke the stripper pole at the old cattyshack! like literally the whole thing came unhinged off the ceiling :-/
my reputation there was all downhill from there. fun bar that was tho, it’s a shame tho the kind of bar that that took over that space.

Slopey I went last year…It’s 8 year rotation now, which is a big improvement from the 4 year they had before.

I had a friend who made the calculation. He counted both the in and out stroke. Sort of like miles traveled per year.

“Cute and nasty.”
Like many pole dancers.
One of my straight friends asked me once if I could calculate the amount of pole I’ve had in my life.
Mice are actually really cute… it’s too bad they shit and piss all over everything! Cute and nasty.
