    This is what it looks like when a Federal judge sets his phasers to "obliterate corrupt attorneys".

    Edit: The cruelest bit is the referral to IRS CID.

    Tav isn't that the horrible site that was linked yesterday

    I feel its credibility is ranked somewhere lower than the Daily Mail

    I mean when the CEO is quoted as saying something it doesn't really matter how credible your site is unless you outright made it up.

    Yes

    Unfortunately, Ellis himself got bored with the project and ended it in 2002, leading to a big diaspora to several splinter forums. A couple of them are still trucking and I read them regularly but it gradually tails off on a year-to-year basis as people get older and have kids and, in a few cases, die.

    I got to see a Jessica Rabbit lookalike at the gym today, red hair and dress and all. She changed out of the dress into the usual gym attire and caught many a male eye. It was kinda surreal.

    And to answer your question from last night @STATE_OF_THE_ART_ROBOT yes, I do primarily play healers in MMOs, as well as tanks and other support classes. DPS is always nice but I prefer to be utilitarian for a group and appreciated. My name comes from my best WoW character, my Draenei Paladin named Corehealer (the one I played as when I helped make and lead a raiding guild on Executus for years and the character I was playing when I met my ex GF in WoW when I was a healer during our first forays into Karazhan) who was named for my earlier dwarf pally from my first server who raided in Vanilla and started out as a healer of tanks in Molton Core.

    It's a name that's evolved, for me anyways, a lot since then. I like it.

    he was a really rad dude

    I had been a fan since before joining the forum because I'd read a lot of Milestone Comics in the 90s but while some other pros tended to just kind of dip in and out to promote their new stuff he just hung out as a regular poster in the movie thread or the science news thread or whatever. he was really generous with advice and was just nice and personable to everyone.
