  1. That’s a j/105. Those sunbitches are heavy and solid. re: the question earlier about a deuce on a sailboat - class required equipment in a J/22 includes a five gallon bucket. If you’ve never used the bucket well, you’re not sailing enough.
  2. I attended a late night show at your mom's house. I had post-production sickness.
  3. I need to try more federal criminal cases. Seems like most of mine are hemmed in very well and my defense is something like “take the plea offer and we’ll put on a sentencing case.”
  4. Something like this: “mr. defense witness, I want you to look at exhibit 33 here and pay attention to line 21. See those words there, is that a true statement?” “uh, well...” nothing more fun than when your witness gets up and admits part of the other side’s case. if you’ve ever worked on a drug case with a video recorded controlled buy, you’ll feel my pain. Prosecution plays a video of your guy doing something bad. Defense puts up a witness. Prosecution plays the video and asks “do you recognize —— in this video? What is he doing here with the baggy and the money?”
  5. Negged. We eat nothing but Catalina at casa CoTex.
  6. You all can fuck right off. my ribeye roasts are tip top when my instructions are followed. Right between rare and medium rare. when they get broiled for 50 minutes they fuckup.
  7. Cotex "This ribeye roast is going to be excellent. It's in the oven broiling. When the timer goes off, roll it over and broil it on the other side for 10. Then switch over to bake at 450. After 30 minutes take its temperature. 135-140 it comes out. Set it in the lower oven and let it rest. I'll be home after soccer practice and we'll have dinner together." Mrs. Cotex "Got it." "Should I move it to a lower rack?" Cotex "No, when you switch to bake you'll want it on a top rack." ... Cotex at soccer practice "run you slackers, we're never going to win anything this way, I've got steak waiting for me at home." ... Cotex entering his garage with daughter "Wow, I can smell it all the way out here. It smells awesome." Cotex daughter "it smells good." ... Mrs. Cotex "I forgot to turn off the broiler, but I think I saved it. It's 165." "My mom says we can make au jus so it won't be so dry." Mrs. Cotex "it's like those burnt ends we like so much." Just another day living the dream.
  8. My favorite is When you’re in state court on something contested and the judge says “do we need a record?” “No sir/ma’am” that’s code to me that we’re about to go no-holds-barred cage match and no appeal. Do some lawyerin.
  9. You better have your shit buttoned up and ready in Judge Gilstrap’s court. Right - ok. Wrong - ok. Dumbass, cheating or unprepared? Ho-Lee-fuk. I recently had the privilege of appearing in front of Lee Rosenthal with Rusty Hardin in the courtroom. I think she is a very cool judge and hope to go back. Isnt this part part of what makes the game special? Strike zone may change, ump having a bad day, whatever, get up there and play ball.
  10. Lou Diamond Phillips - flour bluff, Texas - UT Arlington. I am not afraid of dying chevato.
  11. Young Guns FTW. When your group of regulators has Charlie Sheen as the smart and stable one, well, I want in.
  12. How do we make it so you pay me. You know, like for the effort?
  13. If you ever think your job sucks, remember, at least you don’t have decompression sickness in a sewage tunnel underneath Milwaukee.
  14. Well we’re pretty far off track from duck boat sinking now but, I would rather speak truth to silliness than maintain order. Free divers do get the bends - you’re wrong. http://www.skin-diver.com/departments/ScubaMed/FreedivingCauseDCS.asp?theID=626
  15. It is a result of gas absorbed in your tissues under pressure (from depth under water), expanding when the pressure is released (ascending). if you’re only down at 40 feet for a few seconds, history tells us you won’t absorb much gas. Deeper for longer and it starts to approach problem time. There are tables and dive computers that will tell you how deep/long is safe. there is also something called an expansion injury where you take a deep breath at depth and then don’t exhale as you ascend. i doubt any of these deaths were caused by either of these. more likely, these people breathed water instead of air when they couldn’t escape the cage/duck boat. I’m sure they were terrified and in pain. Terrible way to die.
  16. Chrome Shop is code for massage parlor, right?
  17. I drove from Des Moines to Chicago last week and went by what is claimed to be the largest truck stop evah. place had its own water tower. Didn’t stop.
  18. Your mom is all nuts and random screws too.
  19. You know who has an interesting story? The crew and passengers on the boat that didn’t sink. ill be interested to see their ntsb interviews.
  20. Radar? What ever happened to look out the damned window? These people weren't crossing the North Atlantic in a Viking Warship. This lake is basically a narrow river. https://www.google.com/maps/@36.5820697,-93.3198884,3812m/data=!3m1!1e3 "Hey, look, there's a storm coming, we should head back 300 yards to the cove/marina/boat ramp/shelter of that island over there."
  21. When they pulled the "boat" up on CNN today, it looked like the windows were blown out. I wonder how much effort it would have taken to kick out a window, when this became unrecoverable. Do any of you remember G650's experience from last year's Chicago - Mac race? They lost and recovered a man overboard at night. He's probably racing that same race right now.

  23. Probably the “captain” had a uscg master license of some sort and knew better. Probably the “driver” was a spicoli type who did exactly what he was told and was shitting his pants. when you charge $30 a shot, each 30 person trip is worth $900. 8 of those a day and you better not get off schedule or bossman will be pissed.
  24. In the boat you’re going to die. In the water you’re going to have to fight to survive but, you have a chance. Add in fats, olds and children and it gets bad. I have an 11 year old that is very athletic, and probably swims 90 days a year, but she would struggle in that, mentally as much as anything.
  25. Look at the sky at the beginning and then watch the wind speed increase around 0:45. My guess is it increases from about 20 knots to 40. If you’ve ever been on a sailboat in a squall when it goes from 20-40, it gets very difficult to talk and hear. Somewhere around 40 you are just surviving for the first 5 minutes. G650 - what’s your take?
