got up at 6 to go to my grandmothers to go make sausages; the drinking started at 8:30ish (earlier for some), with plenty of sharp cutting and grinding implements being used.

sort of related;
while i didn't take part in the straight razor discussions it did get me wanting one. it turns out my grandfather had a number of straight razors and a leather&cloth strop. so i now have a (no longer rusty) wooden handle folding Puma Solingen straight razor and said strop.

needs polishing since sandpaper leaves grind marks on the sides of the blade.

Woo hoo! I've got a threat of legal action from a no-talent, sue-happy fuckwit of an idiot who has no grounds to threaten legal action to begin with!

I guess I've finally joined the 21st Century, then?

Now you have to buy medicene and contribute to the American health care system. If you miss enough school and have to retake courses then you'll also be pumping money into our educational system. Doesn't it feel good to be a good citizen?

I also got one of those, but they openly stated that the possibility of the vaccine to be ineffective was about 50%. Since there were several bugs heading our way, and they only had the time to develop one type of vaccine, they would not guarantee full immunity. But hey, I am alive and well while my family coughs, get fevers and pukes all the time, so I guess it worked out fine for me.

Anyhow. Is it me or are the topics on the board more inflamed than usual? Perhaps I just reading the wrong posts.

I found this as a blog comment awaiting approval on my work Myspace the other day:

I have forwarded this to my agent 7/1/2009 who will be dealing with this directly in the next two months re the legalities of F5 brand and logos etc being used in any way and or mis-representation of me. Could you please send a suitable contact address

Kindest Regards
Talentless Moronic Headfuck

There's a slight issue here:
1.) I didn't mention her (or anyone else) by name in said blog, so misrepresentation is non-existent.
2.) I was 1/5 of F-5 Films, as was she.
3.) F-5 Films was wound up in May/June 2006.
4.) The logos never featured in said blog.

She's got a habit of this - she's literally holding tapes of a short made in 2004 hostage, and threatening legal action whenever the Producer or First AD of the shoot ask for them (despite the fact they have claim to them over her) or, more amusingly, she had a blog up threatening legal action against a hairdresser for doing a bad cut. Anyone with half a braincell would refuse to pay, and demand a better job be done, FFS!

Of course, she outdoes herself by asking for contact details: if you're going to threaten legal action, you should know where to send it to, not ask for it - for the simple reason I may well give her the address of Wrigley Field.

The fact is the company was wound up to get rid of her, as she was pissing off both the members of the company, numerous contacts and our friends, should've hit home by now, you'd think...

Fun stuff.

If I were you, I'd let it play out, if you have the time, money, and mental level to do so. Because despite this is going to be a huge amount of stress either way, if the case moves forward you are dead certain to win, assuming from what you've posted here is all you know. Furthermore, not only will you win, but this will prevent her from pulling this trick again.

so first attempt at shaving with straight razor worked, almost did it without any nicks (though they didn't bleed for as long as safety razor cuts do). technique and blade sharpness must be increased!

The poem wasn't intended to rhyme, it was suppose to start off nice and sweet and then become really blunt and straight forward. Much like rape.

Nah, if you're going to give her a fake address, give her one that won't be obvious until her lawyer shows up to give the summons.

Give them the address of an adult bookstore, or a gay bar.

Bonus points if the phone number you give them is one of those $1.99 a minute phone-sex lines.

1. Best 4 dollars you ever spent.

2. I never would have guessed that Beyonce sounds exactly like Olivia Newton John.

A friend at work pulled that off on a member of management one day.

He called up something like "1-800-MANMEAT" (or equivalent gay phonesex line), put them on hold, and transferred the call the on duty manager mobile department phone.

I wasn't witness to this incident, but I've heard that the guy's reaction was priceless.

She joined Hue Jackman for a musical number. Since it was about music in movies naturally Grease was brought up. And I'm not kidding, she sounds exactly the same.

Also, yay Heath. The score is now one to one.
