don't forget the birthday cake in the shape of boobs with sparklers as candles.

(this is old news.)

i normally stray from the current event topics but i just had to share that sentence.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry, h. i'm a little behind on my news reading.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I question, after the Quattrone acquittal, whether Kozlowski will be found guilty. It would seriously bum me out if he was found innocent, but I'm afraid people don't really care about the (ongoing - hello Putnam Funds!) corporate scandals anymore.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 29 October 2003 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

That sentence screams classic, though

the story says the jurors looked bored watching this tape. Those must be some very experienced and well-partied jurors.

you've seen one penis that pisses vodka, you've seen 'em all

I can only say, it could have been worse. Substitute the words "nostrils" or "rectum" for "penis".

― Skottie, Wednesday, 29 October 2003 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

*is bedazzled by wot tokyo rosemary has seen*

There was a professor from Pitt that was on BBC World Service back when the Enron case was blowing up that said that no one that was an Ivy Leaguer would get jailtime. The only people that would get really punished would be executives that didn't have Ivy League credentials.

He was stating that in his research in the savings and loan scandels and other financial scandals, even Ivy Leagers that get convicted usually get their sentences dropped, suspended or aquitted on appeal. One person's case he used as an illustration of this phenomenon was Neil Bush.

As for the execs blowing shareholder money, it isn't like it is a suprise. Criminy I saw the small frys in charge of the corporate division where I used to work blowing money hand over fist on themselves for perks, I could only imagine the what the big dogs bones are like.

I'm sorry, that Ivy League thing is left-field bullshit!! What with the who now??! Neil Bush escaped prosecution for his Savings and Loan shenanigans simply by being Neil Bush. BBC World Service needs to screen its interns a little better.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I think there'a little overlap on "Ivy League" and "being Neil Bush," no?

PS That aside, actually thought this'd be some kinda ersatz Momus thread from the header ...

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 01:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure that Kozlowski isn't an Ivy Leaguer, and he might get off.

HOORAY CARTE BLANCHE TO BREAK THE LAW

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 03:27 (twenty-two years ago)

still black, Dan, sorry.

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 29 October 2003 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, that's right.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 03:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Carte blanche to break ice penises!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Into little cockblocks!

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Wouldn't lemonade look more realistic?

― Layna Andersen (Layna Andersen), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Lemon flavored vodka?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Mike's Hard Lemonade is too downmarket for that crowd.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

This was not an R Kelly party!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:43 (twenty-two years ago)

too downmarket

But oh so appropriately named.

(Though I would have suggested Hanle y Deus' Tart Juice myself.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 04:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I think we just determined why Flaccid Lemonade never made it out of R&D ...

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 05:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Pfft:

'The thread started quietly enough, but everyone knew it was only a matter of time until Ned and Dan would arrive'

― Dave M. (rotten03), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:03 (twenty-two years ago)

i already had a post on this when it happened.

― anthony easton (anthony), Wednesday, 29 October 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely, the sculpture was broken into cockcicles?

and...

does the BBC know which schools are actually in the Ivy Leage, that is to say, that there are only 7?

― Skottie, Wednesday, 29 October 2003 07:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Or, eight, that is. And furthermore, I would suspect that if you went to Cornell or Penn, you'd actually get a bigger sentence.

― Skottie, Wednesday, 29 October 2003 07:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I think this thread title may have been misquoted. More accurately,

where vodka streamed from a penis the size of Michelangelo's David

― Skottie, Wednesday, 29 October 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

'The thread started quietly enough, but everyone knew it was only a matter of time until Ned and Dan would arrive'

"...and then Kingfish barged in, screaming 'I AM THE RESURRECTION AND I AM THE LIGHT! I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd LIIIIIKE!'..."

people were so upset that it nearly ruined their tea.
