ROD PAMPERS was hired by several Madoff victims to represent them in their quest to recover any ill gotten booty.
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
they've come to take me home."
Wait, the dude sued Verizon for giving him free porn? WTF..
Eliza, that NORTHERN Cyprus, or the unrecognised "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus;" the southern part of the island is the Republic of Cyprus, part of the E.U. and not a place where property disputes of this ilk are commonplace.
SIM SIM SALAABIM!

Wait, I can get drunk on an anirplace and beat my wife, and the airline might owe ME money?
Awesome!
United Airlines says, "BITCH SPREAD THE BUTTCHEEKS SO I CAN SMELL THE JUICY INSIDES!"
No wonder the US has a rep for being so litigious...
Hey Peter - keep those lyrics coming.
#3 = racist
Stop with the racist commentary. No one cares.
Too much wine?
Too much porn?
What is wrong with you people?
12 = crypto racist???

4, I think you pretty much summed up everybody's feelings. Great thoughts.
8, We should go get a beer together sometime.
BITCH SPREAD THE BUTTCHEEKS SO I CAN SMELL THE JUICY INSIDES! = Disgusting and probably racist

Please update with a foto and bio of Eliza Gray.
Who is this person who has been fishing for a Texas vs. everyplace else flame war recently?
Drinking wine and nailing sheep can increase your life span by up to 5 years a recent report released by the NEJM said.
Dear 17,
Just to let you know, the fact that you personally are required to attend remedial classes at your sub V100 law-firm, does not in fact mean that you 'have class'. It just means that you're a retard.
Love and hugs and kisses and love,
The rest of the world.
last time i checked, playboy channel had softcore porn, not hardcore.
17 -- Please stop embarrassing our state. We really would appreciate it.

Does anyone know of the whereabouts of Nervous T10 1L? I hope his finals went well so he can land that SA position - I am nervous for him
According to today's PAGE SIX "We hear... THAT top New York lawyer Barry Slotnick of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney is in West Palm Beach interviewing clients who lost big in Bernard Madoff's alleged ponzi scheme." I thought he only represented racist crazed subway shooters.
1) Before today I had no knowledge of Yoichi Shimamoto, his assault of his wife, or their lawsuit of United.
2) I learned about the facts in point 1 by reading ATL.
3) Reading the facts enraged me and cause me to consider driving to Florida and physically assualting Yoichi Shimamoto and his wife.
Based on the logic of the Shimamoto lawsuit if I carried through on the thoughts expressed in point 3 then I could sue...ATL for putting the rage in my head which caused the attack.
Message to Yoichi Shimamoto: Take responsibility for your actions, and perhaps drink less.
ChoadelyDickstein is also rumored to be interviewing clients of Bernie Madoff who lost substantial sums.
Ha! SloTTTnick works at Buchanan Ingersoll from PiTTTsburgh! Oh the laughs!
totally right 22 - I was going to post the same thing
you seem to have a very poor grasp on what is actually going on in the article pertaining to the second blurb up there, Eliza.
also, who are you?
MORE ON THE IMMIGRATION CEREMONY FRAUD:
The report that story was based on also says this:
An immigration judge stated that the new citizens should "get off their dead [posteriors] and oppose the war."
Another judge administered the oath ceremony (introductions, directions, speech, artistic presentations, etc.) entirely in Spanish, with the exception of administering the oath itself in English and Spanish. A USCIS official polled the audience, by show of hands, to determine if every applicant present understood Spanish; despite the fact that several persons raised their hands indicating they did not speak Spanish, the presiding judge proceeded in Spanish. While certain waivers exist, no person is naturalized who cannot demonstrate an understanding of the English language.

My goodness. The airline is not responsible for the spousal abuse. More than likely the wife made some comment and the guy just went off. You can't blame the airline for the wife's mistake here.
23 - I am sorry you are from Dallas.
To clarify the Playboy porn situation, Playboy shows erections and penetrations, but not ejaculations. I guess "semi-hardcore" is the appropriate term.
And yes, I'm quite embarrassed that I know this.
