i didn't take any of it down, except his name and license plate. it was "my fault" (kinda but also some his fault). he didn't care about calling the cops. you almost couldn't even see it on his car, it was the plastic bumper cover just got cracked a little. you couldn't even tell if you weren't looking very hard. my car is the one that got all the damage since i hit his trailer hitch. luckily it is all cosmetic and i don't care. i'm sure as heck not calling my insurance.
(p.s. i hope they can't use this against me in court.)
(p.p.s. can they? hahahah)
(p.p.p.s. seriously, should i delete this?)
EAP, If you can give me his name and city, state (even if it is where the accident happened) I may be able to track him down. PM me if you would like some help.

ZTO are you in the background checking biz??? Awesome.
No, but I work in the legal field and have access to basically the same tools. Surprising, and a little scary, how easy it is to find a lot of info about a person when you start with just a little.
^ You don't even need to be in the legal field. Being intrepid and nosy goes a long way, too! Not that I know from personal experience or anything!
PS - *LOVE* the purple & grey, Z! Nice color combo!
Agreed. The tools we have are best used on someone who is hard to find or trying to be hard to find. You can find just about anyone by simply using google.
And, thanks. The shirt is outstanding. I was like a child with a new toy. I put it on as soon as I got home and left it on all night.

So a bunch of the people I graduated undergrad with just became lawyers. One of them talks to my friend and I on Gchat all day, and we noticed that his language skills are about where ours were in 5th grade. We keep a running tally of this kid's horrific use of grammar and spelling.
This morning's winner so far:
"I went to sleep thinking they one (won)." He's worked as Andrew Cuomo's aide and is going in the pipeline to become a District Attorney, but he'd lose to 5th grade Flanzo in a spelling bee. Stellar.

That's why lawyers have paralegals Behind every successful attorney is an awesome paralegal who does the real work

I think that you are encouraged to come up with your own rules of writing and ignore everything you ever learned about proper grammar. All in the name of getting your point across.

My boss is the owner of our internet company and he has these huge dealings with suppliers and big deal military guys and other important people and can't spell for his life. Not only that, he'll leave extra words in and certain words won't be typed. It's like decoding an ancient language sometimes.

I work for an appellate court. I spend a lot of time reading district court records and appellate briefs. You would be astounded at the absolutely terrible quality of some of the things lawyers write.
My main issue with this kid is he somehow did really well in college. Now, I didn't try at all while there (which, in hindsight, was idiotic), so I don't care that he did better than I did, but he did well. Like...really well. He was an English and Economics double-major, so howwwwwwwww the hell did he get a bachelors degree in English if he can't even write?
I also keep prank calling him at his new internship asking if he is well versed in bird law. He's not getting the joke.
so howwwwwwwww the hell did he get a bachelors degree in English if he can't even write?
I was also an English major, and there were people in my program that just baffled me. And yet, they still graduated. Sometimes it's just a matter of showing up to class and doing the work that get you through college.

Common misconception. English majors are only taught how to read. We leave the writing to the science majors. I should know. I dualed in English Lit and Molecular Bio

I am/was an English major, who has been in and out of school for almost 8 years for this reason. Some times you can write and not show up to class/do the work to get through. I

You can keep a gull as a pet, but you don't want to live with a seabird, 'cause the noise level alone on those things. Have you ever heard a gull up close?
And I was an English major, too, but I never went to class, so I don't know anything about any of the other people in my program.

THIS is why I left journalism to become a professor! Unfortunately, I now realize I'm fighting a losing battle. One of my students (who just got her English B.A. this month) asked me yesterday how to format the ADDRESS on a professional letter. Really? Four years of English education and she can't format a simple address on a business letter? Does no one teach the basics anymore?!? I fear for the future.
I was in awe of a friend who started her degree in English, but switched to elementary ed and never was required to take any kind of basic grammar course. She ended up having to teach herself a each grammar related lesson before creating each lesson plan.
I subbed for a 7th grade English class for a month and it was all pronouns. I was never so happy to be a language major because I actually know the difference between direct and indirect and all that jazz. I had an easier time teaching seventh graders than my friend did teaching 4th.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

No, they don't teach the basics anymore. With spell check and autofill, kids don't have to learn that stuff. I almost died when I asked one of our graduate students (this is at VANDERBILT, mind you) to address some boxes we were mailing out and I came in the next day to see them with the mailing and return address labels just splattered randomly in haphazard places on the boxes. I asked him if he knew how to address a letter and he said no; he had never had to mail anything before!!! I said didn't you learn that in elementary school?! No. Then I asked, how do you think that the post office is going to know which address is the return address and which one it is supposed to be mailed to? He hadn't a clue. So I had to teach a freakin' 25 year old Vandy grad student how to mail something (which I learned in the second grade). I was completely appalled, but sadly, he wasn't the only one that didn't know this.

Wow, I just looked at who was online. This site had 4,681 guests in the last 24 hours. I think people are starting to get excited. Also, this time in 2 weeks, I will be drinking a beer in a hammock on the farm!
