    It's what they're paid to do, to be a necessary and indispensible whore in the justice system.

    Chapter 29

    drpaladin commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 29

    L- O-V-E . The deadly ans terrifying e-motion. It's stressing both River and Alec. They are like bookends, tilting against each other and delicately balancing each other out. What Kenji needs is an able second in command he can delegate some of his business business to so he can adopt a reasonable work/life balance. They need to have THE TALK and get these feelings out on the table so they can work this out.

    The most ironic thing is that particular page is promoting a lawyer.

    Could be, although I prefer the ones with a wry sense of humor.

    My hanging around on-site could probably be defined as pathological.

    From the Greek pathologikós.

    Well, you have to take into consideration those on the list are making a big production out of and shouting, "Look at me!" The others may well be giving, but more under the radar. In that case, the only ones who know for sure are the tax man and their accountants. The big production thing was started by John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. It was good PR back then and still is today.

    This calls to mind a marvelous short story by Frederick Forsyth, A Careful Man. In it a wealthy English man finds out he has a terminal disease. He wants to leave everything to charity, but he knows his greedy and litigious relatives will drain the estate with legal fees and then there are the death duties. His solution is ingenious.

    They certainly give away lots of money, but it doesn't really cost them anything. It doesn't lower their standard of living, and for the most neither their heirs. Some is self aggrandizing and to promote their own agendas. They do get generous tax breaks. So I don't consider most as particularly benevolent. Some I would even classify as malevolent. But it's just my opinion.

    I propose condOMnation. The act of putting condoms on everything. I hear Trojan loves the idea.

    That would violate the no nepotism rule in the Spirit Guide.

    Louella made it clear the dog's owner was merely a coworker and not a friend.

    If you recall the plot of A Christmas Carol, it did require Scrooge to have a friend (Marley) send those spirits. Louella falls short on that requirement. I wonder how that poor little dog is now.

    They stamped LOST CAUSE on her file years ago.

    This caused me to idly wonder what happened to Geritol which used to be hacked relentlessly on TV. Star Trek, brought to you by Geritol.

    From the Greek géras, meaning old.

    It's a sign of both maturity and security Mac was worried about Devin's safety when he didn't return, but he didn't have a single jealous thought.

    The Christmas toy trip to the hospital is always an upbeat moment.

    Anyone who has seen the original version of the movie The Fly will know the vision of a fly is multifaceted.

    I can hear Nat King Cole singing now. "Unbelievable. That's what you are..." To the tune of Unforgettable. Radically changes the tone and meaning, doesn't it?
  24. drpaladin
    Unbelievable was also my first thought when I saw the Word of the Day.

    Why? One of the last things you would want is an inconspicuous boat dock. Someone would almost certainly hit it.
