There is a competing site where you are asked to answer "Looks are important" and "Intelligence is important" with a Yes/No/Medium.
Here's the JW: Does a No/No mean "we don't care how stupid and fugly you are"?

Nope nothing like that.
We were hired by defense counsel to evaluate a personal injury case. Plaintiff counsel deposed our expert in an attempt to discredit them, which is within their right to do so.

No not really. This was a fairly routine operation. Happens perhaps twice a month, although that particular firm doing it is rare.
I just told the story as a way of kind of pumping my hood as being populated with wealthy and influential people. I can be a bit of an arrogant dick sometimes.

@va care to share anything further about “ I cashed a check of his just today for deposing one of my staff.”

Oh, that JR. I guess I knew that JR was Jeannie's master and I'm pretty sure Jeannie didn't shoot him but I never saw a single episode of whatever show Tony resurfaced in after Jeannie left him.
And that's all I know about that.

Money talks, regardless of one's skin color, national origin or political affiliation.

"I know the neighborhood you’re in. Have friends who live there. This will likely go down as the biggest heist in decades."
I think you're replying to my post in the HT & BF thread. But that's ok.
Our new ambassador to Colombia is a neighbor and professional adversary of ours. I cashed a check of his just today for deposing one of my staff. Apparently you get made an ambassador if you know the right people and host fundraisers for orange people at your house.

Thanks YLM! I was half-expecting someone from the brain trust to pipe up with Larry Hagman.

VA, I had to GTS to find out when the series ran (‘78-‘91) and then took a swag as to when Joan Rivers (…for you, Good) was shot.
I know the neighborhood you’re in. Have friends who live there. This will likely go down as the biggest heist in decades.
Just wondering, what did JR stand for?…I mean, other than greed?

"In the 80’s or maybe 90’s, we were all wondering who shot JR."
It barely qualified as 80s. Cliffhanger from March to November, 1980.
We're seriously getting old.

In the 80’s or maybe 90’s, we were all wondering who shot JR.
Today, I’m just wondering who stole VA’s pineapples?
Stay tuned…

Looking over at the Threesomes thread, I’m wondering if I should post in the DVP thread or the Double Pussy penetration thread?
I guess it’s nice to have choices.

On our first trip we Hawaii we boarded an elevator in a well known hotel in Honolulu. We realized it was loaded with Japanese and German tourists who were conversing in their typical angry sounding tones. Hubby started to say something but held back. Suddenly he could no longer and blurted out
“ I thought we won the war”. The space got really still and I was mortified.
When we got off we went for a drink and laughed our heads off.

I've been told that Korean culture is "stiff". Nobody is ever just chill and relaxed. Everything is so serious.
I've been told that Japanese culture can be like this at times, but only certain contexts, like business environments.
When I was a chemist we had a visiting group from a prospective customer in Japan visit and tour the labs. They saw a poster of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker from The Muppets in an office and were so upset by it - as a sign that we didn't take our work seriously - that they abruptly ended their visit and negotiations for the contract. This would have been around 2003-2005.
I told this story to a Japanese guy I play baseball with. He said that this wouldn't have surprised him in that time frame, but that things have relaxed quite a bit since then and such attitudes are less common these days.
