One of our med school deans had a story about this.

When asked about it, the guy clarified that he liked watching marathons.

I put nothing. No one cares unless there is a gap. Then I talk about biking across the country and cars. You laugh, but my current supervisor was a pro race car driver (to lawyer, what the gently caress?), seemed to work.

When asked about it, the guy clarified that he liked watching marathons. There's nothing wrong with them, other than them being the loving cult-like "outside interests" of every investment banker/attorney/account/other professional. To me, it's just another example of the creepy straight-jacketing of personal interests in the professional world. Even outside interests have to fall into safe, limited parameters (and they must, coincidentally, somehow express in themselves that you are a competitive ueber-human). It sometimes feels like 95% of professional resumes/profiles I see has one of these as the outside interest. Just once, I'd really like to see someone's outside interests read: "Veg out on the couch and chain watch Mad Men and Game of Thrones." Yes, I am bitter about being a deadbeat without any "real" hobbies. SlyFrog fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Apr 16, 2014 |

Is it this guy in his fine red suit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YN3he6cHhM Because that'd be awesome. From Meads v Meads, Justice Rooke's fine discussion of Sovereign Citizens: "The exotic nature of the Moorish Law movement and its claims warrant some comment, as casual exposure to a Moorish Law litigant may lead an observer to suspect mental impairment or disorder"

I tend to think that if we could get a sovereign citizen to sound off about tacos or suits that would be a best-case scenario for this thread.

I agree with gently caress the Mariners, but only for offering a ludicrous 10 years. I'm glad the Yankees didn't do a contract that long, because we are seeing firsthand how bad long contracts to players on the wrong side of 30 are (Sabathia, Rodriguez, Teixeira). Edit: Hey now I did not say the Ellsbury contract was good either! I was rending garments when I heard about that one. mikeraskol fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Apr 17, 2014 |

if I practiced I'd basically be forced to put down poker and that's one of those things that's 80% negative and 20% an actual plus when they find out you're good I guess? (thank God I don't have to care ugh) also, in before Jeter's inevitable comeback three years from now once he realizes he can't pull groupies at will in retirement because that only works for MJ
