    No, I assured you that "if he can't get the plan confirmed, the options are either that the bankruptcy is dismissed or converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation[.]" The latter of these two possibilities is exactly what happened. It was a statement of two paths in the legal system. Again, I can't predict the future apart from commenting, as the Zen Master oft repeated, "We'll see." Believe me, I'll curl up in a ball and start wringing my hands along with you when the time is right. But, as of now, the proverbial fat lady has not sung.

    Colonoscopy

    dcbc replied to Sbbruin's topic in Lulz

    All done. Just made myself an omelette and sending my kid for a cheeseburger later. 1 small polyp. Not pre-cancerous this time. New guidelines say come back in 7 years, but my doc said 5 would be fine. Propofol is lovely. Not going to trust a fart for the next 24 hours.

    A packet of Crystal LIght lemonade in the prep is a game changer. Thank you internet.

    Colonoscopy

    dcbc replied to Sbbruin's topic in Lulz

    Ate a big plate of curry-fried noodles at a noodle bar last night. Black coffee this morning and a stool softener. Expelled the noodles around noon. A couple of cups of chicken broth for lunch and some green Jello for a snack around 3 pm. Counting down to the prep at 5. Gatorade at the ready. Watery a-noose incoming. New tube of Desitin waiting. Bidet is about to get a workout. Procedure is at 8:30 a.m. Friday.

    Let me see what they're going for. I'd want to keep the custom plate on the grip if it's easily replaceable. I'll DM you.

    Yes.

    Hard to say without sitting down with the indictment. But if Paragraph 36 wasn't one of the counts on which the government is seeking a conviction, then it's a matter of proving an exception to 404(b) like motive, intent, or absence of mistake, any of which seem possible. Was that paragraph related to something he did while he still was in office? It's all running together for me at this point. Stricken. Quashed. It's gone for now.

    I've got two people I know who have had kids play either D2 or D3 college soccer, presumably on some sort of scholarship. It's not Austin (eastern block), but if you want to shoot me a list of questions, I'm happy to pass them along or see if they would mind if I put you in touch with them.

    Friend, who was a former DA, introduced me to the hilarity that is the "high comma."

    Placenta has such a nice ring to it.

    And here we are. Maybe I can predict the future.

    I got "is that your grandfather" a lot. Mom was 31 when I was born. It was an interesting parental dynamic, but it worked.

    Hope you find a good one.

    Beef ribs

    dcbc replied to Buzzrock's topic in Food and Travel

    Yeah, I mention IT as a general target to start probing. Should have been more specific.

    Such greatness in the above.

    In east Texa, they're renting them out . . . at dumb rates. We have one next door to us that's owned by someone out of CA whose home can't be seen on Google maps, but who has an unmatched, ocean view, and they (the renters) are "downsizing" and paying through the nose. especially since the buyer's market has steadily dropped since they moved in. They're quiet. I don't think about them much.

    The Stephen King Thread

    dcbc replied to dcbc's topic in Books

    Yeah. These slipped my mind, but The Jaunt was so much packed into so few pages.

    Nine year old DCBC loves you for that. Those Cookies and Cream milkshakes were the best I've ever had, full stop. Also, if there has been a better inaugural post than this one (the whole post, not the snippet I posted, although that snippet was awful damned good) on this forum, I'd love to see it.

    Yep. September 1992. My freshman year. I'd eaten the shit out of MD&B when my sister was at UT in the early 80s, and once I got to UT, I got to go exactly twice before it shut down.

    When my kids were little, we made our share of Texas car cheese from sippy-cups full of milk they decided to discard under the seats during the summer without our immediate knowledge.

    Basically limited to constitutional questions in criminal cases. 1. No. 2. Yes. All error must be preserved, including constitutional error, unless such error falls under the limited category of "structural" error. 3. I don't recall. But nothing jumps to mind.

    Yes. Sorry I missed the post. I need to update my notification settings. Let me know if you need more pictures.
