When I worked at Brackenridge Hospital back in the day it was always an all hands on deck week for the ER. We had a crotchety old doc who ran the ER back then. Dude had been an ER doc for so long that he was on shift at Parkland when they brought Kennedy in. I was working on a PC in the ER and this woman was hollering and carrying on in one of the ER bays and the nurses couldn't get her settled down. This dude comes storming out of one of the other bays and walks in and starts yelling at her to STFU. It's not an exact quote but something to the effect of "you should have thought about that before you got on a donor cycle with a drunk. You're lucky, at least you're still alive. The idiot you were riding with is having his vital organs removed right now for people who hopefully aren't morons". It was pretty brutal. I was like the Jesse drinking water gif from Breaking Bad. One of the ER nurses sitting at the desk said "God, I love that man."

Oh yeah! For some reason I thought like twenty or so were killed in that one. Mixed it up with another nightclub fire I guess.

Smoke on the Water?

I'm fine with the incidental contact but he walked.

It's no wonder we can't get any free throws. Mark was hacked. Kent was hacked. It's ridiculous.

I think the point of the movie was to show the perspective of each of the three involved. The husband, the accused rapist, and the wife/alleged victim. It was based on an actual historical event and from my understanding the perspectives shown were based on the testimony of each and how it lead to the last trial by combat recorded in history because of the he said/he said/she said thing.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Handjob Helobious Is the Man!

Watched Gardens of Stone for the first time in a while and forgot what a good movie it was. As someone who served in the Army a few years later, the technical advisers on this movie did a great job. The army stuff is really good. Very underrated movie IMO. A good look at how Vietnam divided the army in much the same way as the rest of the country, but mainly just some excellent performances from James Caan, James Earl Jones, etc.

So I guess that wasn't goal tending?

I would have I'd Bruce up on that just because.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Felix replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Just quoting this one as being on topic for the topic, not particularly responding to this, but it's also relevant. My Dad worked his way up from Accountant I to Director of Accounting at Texas Health and Human Services Dept. In the 30 years he worked there the state shifted from Dem run to Rep run. Once the Reps came in, every few years they'd try to bring in a private contractor to, allegedly, make things more efficient. None of them lasted very long because they didn't understand the scope of work and inevitably under bid the project because they didn't realize that most of the inefficiencies were written in the law and, thus, couldn't just be streamlined. Each time they would come to him and say "Why do we have to do it this way?" Every single time the answer was "Because the legislature made this law because some private company found a loophole in the law and corn holed the tax payers out of millions of dollars." Do you know why it takes three forms and three levels of approval to buy a pencil? Because, some outside business found a hole the rules so that they could charge $5 for a $ .20 pencil and bilked the state for millions before it was discovered. They also didn't grasp the size of the budget or the services they would be required to provide, and thus were incredibly understaffed and inefficient because they thought providing hundreds of thousands of people services costing billions of dollars would be easy if they could just get their MBA asses on the job and find all the alleged bloat. Then they found out there wasn't nearly as much bloat as they thought. In fact, considering what they provided, it's a miracle they can do it with what they have.- 9355 replies
