One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble.

EDIT: Dang, you'd think I'd have learned by now to keep scrolling to make sure the joke hadn't already been made!

Well, the old guy does go around the world in one night, so who knows?

"Represented Exxon in the Exxon Valdez case" is probably his hyper-inflated version of "was one of a dozen fungible associates banished to the document review dungeon by one of Exxon's lesser law firms."

I suspect if the <strong>C</strong>alifornia <strong>R</strong>ifle <strong>A</strong>nd <strong>P</strong>istol Association had been paying a little more attention to their acronym, they might have tweaked their name slightly.

Also, I shall henceforth assume Chet dumb.

Looks like their specialty is suing the EPA and/or the zoning committee to let you build that toxic factory wherever you damn well want it's your fucking money, and also defending you when you wave your penile-compensatory arsenal at the crowds of protestors at your front gate.

Or as they put it: "[Our] lawyers readily adapt to the particular needs of each client."

Tragically, Arlo is a registered Republican and a Paultard. That high-pitched whirring sound you hear is Woody spinning in his grave.

Oh jolly, Michel & Associates specializes in preventing gun control in southern California:

"Among other things, our attorneys appear at agency and legislative rule-making proceedings that impact firearm owner interests, <b>assist in drafting firearms legislation</b>, represent clients in firearm licensing matters, represent firearms manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in product liability litigation, defend against firearms-related criminal charges, and <b>challenge ill-conceived or unconstitutional state laws and local ordinances</b> in court."

Also too, they seem not to know that mistletoe is toxic, so when that hilarious card reaches families, and some of the kidz try sparkin' a mistletoe blunt, we can expect lawsuits and hijinx to ensue. Or, with luck, the staff attorneys will roll a little j at the party tomorrow. <a href="http://michellawyers.com/pr..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://michellawyers.com/practice-areas/firearms-...">http://michellawyers.com/pr...

The 2011 one is the identical format, only this time starring Karl Marx caricatured as only an avid Fox News viewer could and made the spokesperson for the Occupy movement. "C.D." (I find it very hard to trust a man who won't even tell you what his name is, although strangely enough my impression of him could easily be made to match those initials) was right about one thing though - the 2011 version was actually even worse than the 2012.

Who / what are "reindeer boys" is what I want to know? Are they analogous to lady boys? And when smoking mistletoe what is the kissing tradition that goes along with that? Inquiring minds want to know. ...or just me.
