California...knows how to party
California...knows how to party
In the citaaay of L.A.
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!

Now let me welcome everybody to the wild, wild west
A state that's untouchable like Elliot Ness
The track hits ya eardrum like a slug to ya chest
Pack a vest for your Jimmy in the city of sex
We in that sunshine state with a bomb ass hemp beat
the state where ya never find a dance floor empty
And pimps be on a mission for them greens
lean mean money-makin-machines servin fiends
I been in the game for ten years makin rap tunes
ever since honeys was wearin sassoon
Now it's '95 and they clock me and watch me
Diamonds shinin lookin like I robbed Liberace
It's all good, from Diego to tha Bay
Your city is tha bomb if your city makin pay
Throw up a finger if ya feel the same way
Dre puttin it down for
Californ-i-a

California...knows how to party
California...knows how to party
In the citaaay of L.A.
In the citaaay of good ol' Watts
In the citaaay, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin! We keep it rockin!

Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it mama
Shake it Cali
Shake it shake it baby
Shake it shake it shake it shake it...

Damn, all I got was a free lunch.  And it was just a cheeseburger, at that.

Anyone else here a FF on Continental?

I have about 50K OnePass miles and was hoping to upgrade on my flight to PHL on Friday. I'd like to sit in FC for free. I've never sat there before and am traveling alone, so why the hell not.

Any tips on how to get free upgrades?

I know they automatically offer upgrades if FC isn't full based on their elite program (Platinum-Gold-SIlver) and I am none of them. I was silver last year but haven't flown yet this year.

Pull your cobweb covered credit card out of your high school toughskin wallet and pay for the upgrade, cheap ass.

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

I'm considering it. But I wanted to try the free route first.

Maybe I will wear a jersey when on the plane and take a photo...just...for...you!

Tony LaRussa is suing Twitter

Tony La Russa is taking on Twitter. The Cardinals manager is suing the social networking site for trashing his name.

The picture looks like Tony La Russa, the name says Tony La Russa, but Tony La Russa wants you to know the Tony La russa Twitter user is NOT Tony La Russa.

On one tweet the user writes, "lost 2 out of 3, but we made it out of Chicago without one drunk driving incident or dead pitcher."

The other tweets aren't much better. Someone started the site without La Russa's permission and posed as the Cardinals' coach, until the site made its way to La Russa and he filed suit.

La Russa won't comment on the lawsuit, but court documents say the fake poster misrepresents and tarnishes La Russa's name. Mark Sableman is a lawyer, specializing in internet law. He doesn't represent La Russa, but says his case would be tough to sell.

"When that happens, people want to go after someone who can stop it," Sableman said. "That's usually the intermediary, the AOL, the Yahoo!, the website owner. But in fact those people aren't liable under the law. The only people who are liable are the original poster who is usually anonymous and hard to find. "

Sableman says it points to a growing problem on the World Wide Web.

Thanks to the anonymity of the internet, there's very little stopping people from going on and creating an account in your name. "People do seem to misuse it.," Sableman said. "They misuse the ability to be anonymous on the internet and this ability to be anonymous has allowed people to post these mean, nasty messages," he explained.

It's done without any great fear of consequences. La Russa's case could change all that, if he's willing to go through with the fight.

"I wonder if it's really worth it in the case of a one time posting," Sableman said. "I think it can be done but it's difficult."

How do you sue Twitter over this?  It's a stretch, at best.  My guess is LaRussa's lawyer asked Twitter to remove the account, they declined, and this is just a means to make the account go away.  Either way, that Tweet was gold.

Just had a nice fight with my wife and my brother in law.  We have to watch their parents Jack Russell, who pisses and poops everywhere, not because he's 17 years old, but because he's a complete icehole who has never been trained or scared into not acting like an icehole.  We're putting our house up for sale in 2 weeks, and i guarantee this farging rat dog pisses at least 3 times in one day.  I really might kill the farging thing if it does.  I love dogs, but after 9 years around my wife and this dog, i still cant pet him.  He ripped 3 of my pant legs, and has pissed on shoes and sandals before. 

End days are coming Spot

Punch it in the face and lock it in garage.

I know for a fact that the first one works. I've only heard that the second one works.

[Seabiscuit36]

The third time the little shtein ripped my pantleg, i kicked him like i was Akers.  I had never hit a dog before, but i ripped my leg back heard my pants rip more, and he tried to attack the front of my leg, i booted him.  farger hasn't touched my pants since.  The problem is my inlaws have never put him in his place, in 17 farging years, the dog just does as he pleases. 

For the second option, i have a townhouse with no garage.  The reason why we are selling, we need more room, and less neighbors.

Put a noose around his neck and whatever genitals he may have left.

I agreed to dogsit a friend's dog for a week a few years ago. This dog was ill-behaved and never disciplined either. My dog stayed the F away from it the entire week but on day 5 I came back late from the shady chinatown poker room and the guest dog wanted to sleep in bed with me. By 'sleep in bed' I mean jump on my neck and snap at my face like it was going to bite me.

So I sat up, punched it in the face and kicked it in the neck. It didn't get back into bed with me and the rest of the week was much more pleasant. I think we both learned an important lesson that day.

I've dogsat for my sister before when she had a rottie. I stayed at her house for a week, watching the projection tv and eating all the food. Dog behaved fine, never gave me any problems. I was going to dogsit her two mastiffs last year, and that didn't go nearly as well. The smaller one shtein all over the floor until I got the back door open to let it out, and the larger one decided my hand and half my arm would make a great meal.
