8. A team effort

Workers comp claim for a back injury that seems suspicious, so they sic a PI on the guy. This is fairly common.

PI comes back with a video of the guy batting softball batting practice, torquing his back over and over. Exactly what he says he can’t do.

Okay, whatever. People get caught all the time.

The camera pans and I can’t believe who is shagging balls in the outfield?

Opposing counsel!

So, ya. Case dropped and the judge took it up with the Bar Association. FIY, for any would-be lawyers out there: you can’t break the law. And you definitely can’t aid and abet your clients while they break the law. It’s right there in the title: lawyer.

This... is definitely fiction.  Not that I don't believe a person lied about a workers comp claim (happens every day).  Nor that a counsel would be part and parcel with the lie (less frequent but there are ton of shyster lawyers out there.) No, the reason why I'm calling this fiction is that no judge would EVER "take it up with the Bar Association".  The bar association is a union basically.  The judge would refer the lawyer for sanctions to the appropriate body.  In New York, it's the appellate division.  In California, it would be handled by the State Bar Court.  But never would it be assigned to the "bar association".

So you have a spider man comic for me?
Yes sir I do!
whats it about?
Well its about spider man-people love spider man!
They sure do-is it about anything else?
Not really no
Oh really?
Yes he doesnt fight anyone or anything.
Huh.
But it has a little kid!!
Little kids are TIGHT!
Uh-
Uh-
Whoops.
Whoopsie!
So anyway its about this little kid that loves spider man and one night spider man comes in his room.
I feel like thats kinda creepy tho-and illegal.
Yes sir it is!
So what else happens?
Well, nothing really 'happens' exactly.
I kinda feel like something should happen tho.
Whoops!
Whoopsie!
But spider man talks to the kid!
And the parents dont hear any of this?
No sir they dont!
I kinda feel like they would.
I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about this.
Ok lemme get off that thing!
So anyway the kid asks him his secret identity!
And spider man doesnt tell him because that would be stupid, right?
He tells him!
Was it hard for the kid to get him to tell his secret identity?
No it was super easy-barely an inconvenience.
Oh really?  So how does the kid get him to tell his secret identity?
He asks him-TWICE!
Wow that was easy.
Yes so, thats about it-what do you think?
Well it kinda feels like its not really a story tho.
But people love spider man!
I kinda feel like they would love this story even more if something happened tho.
Well sir I could do the thing where the kid is sick or something
Oh sick kids are TIGHT!
Uh-
So what kind of sick are we talking about here?
Well cancer is always good-
Uh-
Uh-ok that didnt come out right-
No, no it didnt.
Also if we put 'im in a cancer clinic with a brick wall that says 'cancer clinic' so everyone knows its a cancer clinic and also then we dont have the parents not hearing and stuff.
Good point ok lets do that!
Done!  we could also have the kid laughing about Jameson paying peter to take pictures of himself!
I kinda feel like a kid wouldnt know the name of the publisher of a newspaper tho.  I mean do you know the publisher of the local paper?
Uh-
Get off your back about this?
Yes!!!

Agreed. I've been dealing with Worker's Comp in CA for about a decade...the BAR has NOTHING to do with cases. Period.

Had HJ's for dinner @ADAMANTIUM

Wasn't too hungry so just had a double cheeseburger with no pickles and added angry onions. Looooove me some angry onions.

Awesome, hope you ate your fill!

Those coupons I used didn't expire for another month and came in the "junk mail", so now that I've used the 'good' ones  , I'm not sure when the next coupons come. If I'm going to eat there I want to do it right!

I was very full. I'm not a big eater anyway, and it was a hot night so you didn't feel like eating much, so a double cheeseburger just hit the spot. And of course you need the cayenne pepper kick of the angry onions to give it some pizzazz. 

We haven't had coupons here for a few weeks. They're one of the few places that do vouchers, and especially physical ones. They're good deals when they do, though.

You're spring into summer, I'm fall into winter. I have to get used to it, sometimes the heater drys me out, especially when allergies are involved.

I'm trying to envision Christmas in the summer 😂.

I'll probably lay off the easy fast food, to trade for something served hot temp wise

Yeah I dry out in winter too, I go through so much moisturiser (don't you dare misuse that, OWK). I try to keep fast food to once every fortnight, but sometimes I stray from that for convenience sake, or we just don't feel like cooking. It helps that where I'm currently staying has very little choice for fast food, and even less of that is any good. 

As for Xmas, it's confusing and sucky. You sing songs about a white Christmas that you'll never experience, meanwhile it's hot as, nobody feels like doing anything so you all sit inside in the air-conditioning and do your presents then the usual family stuff, and lunch is usually cold meats and salads. Nothing worse than turning up to someone's house for Xmas lunch and they've cooked a hot lunch. Last thing you want to eat, so you've got to sit there, hot and sweaty, eating a meal you don't want and pretending you're having a great time, usually outside in the heat. But you know, besides all that it's great....

Plenty of ice cream though

A friend from the boards sent me a care package of Australian Candy, most survived the trip and I put them into the refrigerator to reharden, this was a couple of years ago. I wish that I had written down the names for a reminder  

Seemed there was a lot of caramel stuff, some chocolate and cookies. It didn't really taste "different" but during the holiday boards raffle, and or, Christmas stuff, there were people sending candy like that from Hawaii. I was hesitant to ever chose those prizes, but even from Australia not too shabby!

Let me guess, Tim Tam's, ummm Cadbury Favourites, Musk sticks (not Elon related)? If you guys ever want that stuff, I'm happy to send. Just cover my costs. We have some good stuff. And Vegemite, of course. 

 

But not hot soss. Don't even ask about the hot soss right now. That's a delicate situation.

 I always buy a pint of the "sauce" (see spelled different ), anyway I have it left over from last weekend, tried to eat it from the the container, but it was mostly liquid at the top

I need to clean some of the "hot" saucers to be able to pour, to get down to the hearty stuff, and.... before it goes bad, because that is an accident waiting to happen.

Again OWK better behave

I think we're both doomed once OWK sees our posts. 

Game over, man. Game over. 

[ADAMANTIUM]

I remember attending GameStop midnight game openings with my brother, back when they still did those, and I have some souvenirs as well.

I read this Harley, and vaguely remember a "sauce ending in disgust" situation. Full of Mecha what what?!?

Yesterday it was 80 degrees now it's 36, 😤
