[quote=walterwhite]it’s completely inappropriate but i watch breaking bad with my kids. it strikes me as a proper introduction to what it actually is to be a man.

walter was a most timid creature until…

if any of you have not been watching breaking bad, please, start, at the beginning.[/quote]

I’m with you, scaredy…ummm, Walter. And I don’t agree that it’s inappropriate to view it with your children. Look at it as vocational planning and advisory sessions.

I think BB is great. It’s turned mild-mannered chemists everywhere into the Alpha Male. You wait and see: Kim Kardashian’s next mate will be a chemist. Chemists are hot, and very handy to have around the house.

[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=scaredycat]Conviction may be difficult but just the risk of swift prosecution may be enough. A small chance if loss would be unacceptable to mgt in that position[/quote]

Scaredy: Being an attorney (and I don’t know your area of practice), I’d be curious as to your take on the badly bungled SEC prosecution of Madoff, as well as their ineptitude in suing Goldman Sachs.

While I understand that any prosecutions relative to the Gulf spill would be handled by the Justice Department and not the SEC, I think that a comparison is valid, in that it would be the US Government asserting their power and alleging criminal acts. While the SEC/Goldman donnybrook is civil, not criminal, the SEC/Madoff prosecution includes literally dozens of criminal charges.

The point I’m making is that the US Government has proven itself some inept in the past in this regard, just look at the many failed attempts to put John Gotti away.

Not saying that they shouldn’t be doing this, but it is worth discussing a better approach if/when they do.[/quote]

You know, Allan, everyone can’t be an overachiever like you. For god’s sake, man, the staff at the SEC have their hands full (pardon the expression) surfing for porn. And you want them to successfully prosecute Bernie Madoff, too??

You’re a heartless bastard.

[quote=eavesdropper][quote=Oxford] Actually, I saw that i didn’t but kinda liked the way it looked and left it that way. Hey, I am a rebel and I’ll never never be any good. Plus this outside-the-box thinking is the most excitement most of ya’ll ever get.

That’s why you’re always the one

Now it’s fixed.

I got so excited, I f**ked up the lyrics. Go easy on that outside-the-box thinking, will you? Maybe you should titrate up on it, instead of giving us a bolus dose.

[quote=Oxford][quote=svelte][quote=Oxford]I hate your dog too. Dude, Pits and Shepards and Rotts and Dobies SNAP. Pits the most. They are hardwired to bite and fight. Sure you see their happy side like all the in-denial PB owners — then one day they go “genetic” and you are in court or worse.

Your neighbors are not the problem; YOU and your damn dog are. Get rid of it.
