  1. Dibs, Park Sloper, yes, I guess it is breaking the Trading with the Enemy Act. Spending money there is the issue.
    Apparantly Michael Moore is being fined for filming Sicko there. All I plan on doing is drinking Mojitos, eating dinner, sleeping in a hotel and walking around, talking to people and taking pictures. Hopefully nothing happens.

  2. MM,
    I don’t see where I was being insulting to you.
    I’m responding to your arguments as they appear.
    my last comment even acknowledged your point
    about a need for oversight of business.

  3. Idea lightbulb!!

    Storefront Punch in The Face

    you set up a store with one of
    those thick plexiglass dividers.

    you have a small door and a knocker.

    when someone slides a fiver in the slot,
    the little door opens up and a large
    boxing glove springs out and knocks
    you on the chin.

    you’d get a brisk business in masochists
    and drunks for sure.
    plus you could make big money on
    web advertising with a video live cam.

  4. “If you can’t boil it down to 75 words or less you probably don’t understand it.”

    BAH HA HA HA HA HA HA! This from a corporate lawyer! BAH HA HA HA HA HA HA!

    “If you can’t understand a post of more than 75 words, your education was probably wasted.”

    SNORT!

  5. G10: I was broke, owed $18,000 to my ex-wife, and was in court so often I couldn’t work. I was collecting unemployment insurance, which paid $425 a week and was ordered to pay 4 times that amount in temporary alimony and child support. I also had to find a new place to live. I also owed my lawyers a fortune.
    You know what I did?
    What I had to.
    Did I like it?
    Hell no!
    Was I scared shitless?
    Hell Yes!
    Maybe I am just as bad as you because I am still furious at the court system, which I think is out of control and unfair.
    But I never blamed my prior employers, or businesses, or the economy.
    You can do whatever you want. I feel very fortunate, but you if I can pick myself up off the floor, with a little luck, you can too.
