Is that a disturbing picture or what? (Don’t ask how I found it – just – don’t).
So now that depostions are over (Bert! – whatta you know about that!? YAAAAYYYYY!!) it is time for tort reform. As I strolled into the Aon Center in downtown Chitown yesterday, I noticed the signs: “Beware of Falling Ice.”
The Aon Building has 83 stories and is 1,136 feet tall. So when someone tells me to “Beware of Falling Ice”, my question is: “Really?”
Am we supposed to hire tanks to take us safely through the plaza to the door? Should we wear a hard hats? Do they expect everyone to walk through the plaza with their heads craned skyward, in the expectation that the law of averages will result in everyone bumping into a door eventually? What?
This is, no doubt, the result of some attorney advising some building owner – somewhere – that this would be the best way to avoid a lawsuit. I’m sure it works. “So sorry Mrs. Trzupr, we’d love to settle this lawsuit for your husband getting crushed by a 200 pound block of ice falling at terminal velocity, but the fact is: we warned him!”
Once the temperature in the city drops below 40 degrees, you seen these signs everywhere. Yes, people do get killed from falling ice. And yes, there are some buildings where a warning sign might make sense, but 1,000 foot skyscrapters are not among the candidates.
We need tort reform. And I’m delegated the job to Floyd. Not only because he is actually the most qualified, but because he’s the one doing most of the work around here lately. (Surprised that we have any readership left at all I am). (With the Yoda talk, what up is?)
This thing, Floyd fix.

Is that a disturbing picture or what? (Don’t ask how I found it – just – don’t).
Rich is drunk again…
This is just…
I can’t believe…
Where’s the brain bleach we keep in the staff lounge?
I don’t see any male readers complaining. Hhhhmmmm….
Two things:
A) If, in the past six hours, Rich has had more to drink than I he has my admiration for being able to string sentences together with his typical, Rich-like alacrity.
II. Let’s count the number of posts in the past week and divide them by Threedonian… Will someone explain to me why Rich, RICH! is chastising his fellow Threedonians for a lack of Threedonia involvement?!
3. Tort reform? Floyd? I thought Chuck was in charge of all the the pastries ’round these parts?
Wankette I used the bleach after hearing Tom Hanks stupid comments about Mormons.
This is a New Yorker cover, right?
(Steph, for heaven’s sake, put it back! I had to use the brain PineSol & I’m reeking!)
What has been seen, cannot be unseen.
Is that a disturbing picture or what?
Or what.
Because Justice is blind, she functions at the mercy of a cadre of good and fair men who protect her. But Justice is about to get screwed by a feminized fraternity of neither good nor fair men who value peace and diversity more than they value freedom and liberty.
Ruf,
ALPHA – Thank you
BRAVO – Screw you
CHARLIE – Do you?

You’re not looking hard enough. I really did not need to see this.
