Jurisprudence: Or how to kick a telemarketer in the gonads- February 10, 2005 Well, I would have written earlier, but I have been in court nearly all day. I have a number of telemarketer cases I am litigating and I managed to schedule them all for back-to-back hearings. That is generally a very good thing unless you get a horrible judge. Fortunately for me, I got a very good judge. So good in fact that I think I won all three cases.Unfortunately for me, one of the defendants was smarter than I gave him credit for and now we have to go to some arbitrators meeting in...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/jurisprudence-or-how-to-kick.html I am so proud...- February 9, 2005 I have this little domain backorder tool that I wrote a few years ago. It is fairly simple, but gets the job done. Case in point, a certain creationist website forgot to renew their domain recently. Now I own it. I will not give out the website name as it would invalidate my blog-anonymity, but if you run across a site with the following home page, you will know who I am Since Creationism is bullshit, may we suggest you visit www.talkorigins.org for legitimate scientific information. I...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/i-am-so-proud.html Kumust Nemein!- February 8, 2005 So I was messing around with flickr.com to get some images posted and I noticed that the site greeted me with "Kumusta Nemein!" At first I thought that my profile must indicate I am Philippine. I mean, why else would I be welcomed to the site in Tagalog Then I stared wondering why it would use "Kumust" in the first place. This is more a greeting between two best friends or between two children at least as far as I understand Tagalog. I think I deserve a little more respect from a...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/kumust-nemein.html Kevin Number One- February 7, 2005 Since I mentioned him earlier, and since I have nothing blog-worthy to discuss, I will recount the story of Kevin Number One. For some odd reason, I dated a whole string of Kevins shortly after moving back to the States. And by string, I mean eight. In a row. Since I am fairly anti-social, I rarely visited the local (and only) gay bar in Charleston, South Carolina after the big move. Come to think of it, it was more about the fact that I lived on the Isle of Palms and had to drive forever...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/kevin-number-one.html The evildoers failed- February 6, 2005 Despite the previous post, somehow I managed to drink more yesterday. I had my bi-weekly poker game with some donators friends last night. It is just a friendly cut-throat game that unfortunately lasts until the wee hours. Somewhere along the way, someone (I think it was M) suggested we open a bottle of Mezcal. Now, I normally do not drink while playing poker and the pigs that were seated at the table had eaten all five pizzas before I got a piece. So, on an empty stomach I agreed to drink.http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/evildoers-failed.html Science experiment...- February 5, 2005 Previously, Anonyboy declared that tequila was evil. Being skeptics, M and I decided to test this hypothesis last night. We traveled down to the local restaurantbarMexican-tequila-distiller and proceed with the clinical trials. We tested the theory extensively. Some of you scientific-minded readers may note that we did not actually have a control group in our experimentations, but I believe, in hindsight, that was not really necessary. After several hours of testing we returned home to...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/science-experiment.html We Won!- February 5, 2005 I wish to thank my millions of readers that supported my boycott. Due to your solidarity and courage, I received a telephone call from a senior Blockbuster executive. After heady negotiations, the faceless corporation agreed to refund my $10.91. Without your support this injustice would not have been resolved. Further, recognizing my immense following and power, the Man pleaded with me, the peoples representative, to remove the boycott. I, being magnanimous as usual, agreed. As a thank...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/we-won.html Boycott Blockbuster!- February 4, 2005 I generally dont ask too much from my readers, but I need your help on this one. Go out right now and cancel your Blockbuster Membership! Dont wait, do it right now. I am so pissed (and I am not using the English slang here) at Blockbuster that I cannot see straight. (Come to think of it, I have never been able to see straight.) I canceled my membership back in the early nineties while living in Charleston, South Carolina due to "mysterious" late fees being added to my account. I found...http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/boycott-blockbuster.html when the world is puddle-wonderful- February 3, 2005 I have decided to rename my dog once more. I was thinking of Pion. Shes a Chihuahua, so I think it fits fairly well. It may be a tad gay, but she is a she, so Pion will be fine. On a completely unrelated note, SPRING is coming! My apricot trees are in full bloom and the quince and peaches are only a week away. That means it is time to start planting more trees. Ive got room for three or four more, so I have been pouring over the catalogs trying to find the appropriate additions. Let.http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/when-world-is-puddle-wonderful.html The Email Happy Dance- February 3, 2005 Wow! I got a real email, from a sane person nonetheless. I even checked out his blog to make sure. But, I will still count him as sane. (Just kidding) I was so excited that I forgot to let my dog Cashew Pecan back in the house. She waited patiently outside the door as I performed the Email Happy Dance. Unfortunately she cannot bark very loud or she would have gotten back in sooner. You may have noticed that I changed my dogs name to Pecan. It just sounds better than Cashew. Cashew is.http://nemein.blogspot.com/2005/02/email-happy-dance.html |
