  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. Legion, your last comment is both absurd and insulting. I am not stupid, and I don’t like being condescended to.

    Short and pithy enough for you, Lech?

  5. “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!

  6. 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.
