Tell him about the blower!



Nice. Mine's pretty much all grey/salt and pepper, with two dark strips on either side of my chin where the mustache would continue down. Kinda weird, but I like it. I don't think I have near the patience to maintain such a luxurious beard, and mine's not so thick, so I trimmed up.

Did they prepay the freight for you or was it sent collect? If it's prepaid and even if it isn't their fault (or, it might be you don't know what the issue is - maybe the f'd up paperwork?) but my suggestion would be to ask the shipper to contact them and ask them to find out what the deal is. All you know is it's late and you paid in full and still don't have what you paid for. They probably have more weight to throw around and the trucking company probably cares more about them.

e: Who here has a beard?

While I was on holidays I didn't shave. So now I haven't shaved for over 2 weeks and I don't mind the look (I was told outright by a woman at work that if I wasn't married she'd take me home RIGHT THEN and ride me ragged) it's a pain to groom, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure how to best do it. Also, I now need to wear beard nets when I go into food environments.

I think I'm shaving it off tomorrow.

I've had a full beard ever since I quit cooking for a living. It's great, but beardnets were the worst, so I sympathize with you shaving.

I got picked as juror for a felony DUI trial. I'm trying to be objective and fair, but the defense attorney is literally this, bowtie and all:



His opening statement was "I'm just a simple country lawyer from *neighboring county*" and I just about lost it.

Ahahaha. I was on the jury for a theft case and had pretty much the same guy as a defense lawyer.

The judge was one of those people that just exudes sweetness, but a few hours in after yet another bullshit and literally pointless objection, she called him to the bench and I'm pretty sure she threatened to eviscerate him where he stood if he didn't get his loving act together.

I guess when you're a middle aged white guy who is caught on video stealing a left behind purse from the Jack In The Box that you not only live next door to, but used to work at, the only lawyers who will tell you that going to trial is a good idea are the ones who suck. Because holy poo poo he should've taken whatever plea bargain was sent his way.

Yeah, yours doesn’t have the nipple with the o-ring on the wand side. Probably does it the other way around, with a socket on the wand, and the nipple on the inside of the handle’s socket? Always more than one way to skin a cat.

Agreed. If it wasn't for those rear fake vents, I'd like the rear angle.

FYI, the reason defense attormeys object is to preserve the issue for appeal. If you don't object, you waive the issue, even if the judge has made their ruling and told the attorney what it is.
So, yeah, the judge is annoyed because they think they are correct and the attorney is basically saying they are wrong, but if the attorney doesn't object, you gently caress up the appeal.
Read nothing into objections or the ruling on the objections. They're not for you or even for this court.

Also, remember that half of the defense attorney's job is to convince people with good cases to go to trial and those without to plea. They almost never listen.
