Yeah, then he posted bail and left his girl in jail. 

The $10g was "bond", and $2500 was "bail".

I bet CdM could explain to us the qualitative difference in the two...but I think that means the dude borrowed 10 grand from a bondsman (at 4x the risk) to get out, and the dudette has not.

Wife got me to watch "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" on the freakshow channel, er-- TLC.  Holy hell, I thought *our* white trash was bad.  The show tries to pose them as victims of discrimination & whatnot.  From what I'm seeing they deserve everything they get and more.

Antiziganist.

Besides, they never play that shit up for the cameras.

Yeah, he'd have had to pay $1,000 to the bondsman who posted the $10K for him, and she's probably looking at a straight up $2500 cash only bail;  which makes him the greater risk, but her the tougher to get out.  Must've smiled at the judge wrong.

25 hour a week judicial clerkship at JSP 11?  I think I just found my dream job.  Well, it'd be more of a dream job if I 1)get it and 2)get admitted to the bar and advance to JSP 13, which pays well enough for me to purchase those sexbots that are right around the corner, and gives me all the time I'd need to use them.

Except it's in Colorado.  I have no strong feelings toward that state.  I initially thought it might be in the 9th Circuit, which would at least evoke some positive emotion, but it is not.  All I know about CO I learned from South Park when that show was still passable as entertainment.

I probably won't get it because it's a pretty plum deal for the lazy law graduate, but it sure would beat being some lame-ass legal assistant in an SSA office in a suburb of Los Angeles where I am unlikely to be accepted in the dominant ethnic group despite my Anglicized Castillian name.

Also, the Department of Labor requires you to upload a copy of your transcript (why do you need my undergrad transcript, idiots? you think USC Law didn't check? hell, even if they didn't and I never went to college, there's a decent argument that, honesty issues aside, it's not actually relevant since I still would have completed the coursework for a real J.D.) but their uploading apparatus is broken and only saves one document.  I strongly get the feeling I just wasted 45 minutes of my time, but I decided that if I had to choose a single document, the "unofficial law school transcript" was the best option.  That would be a cool job, too.  Portland.  I do have strong feelings about Portland.  Also, I could see what kind of weenie shit fahdiz has been up to.

Either Portland or Colorado (I am assuming the Denver area), wouldn't be too bad.

I would take Portland myself though.

I also understand there is a Waffle Window where you can buy waffles and then you walk around eat them with your hands or something.  The details aren't very clear.

The Spicy Bacon Cheddar Jalapeno Waffle

Thick cut peppered bacon, diced jalapenos and a slice of Tillamook Cheddar topped with our fresh made avocado-tomatillo salsa.

Holy crap,  I bet that would be good (without the bacon).

Dammit, that's now three food places in the Portland area I need to hit on the way south...including "http://burgerville.com"

WTF.  Only getting 12-13 mb/s transfer speed on USB 2?  (while trying to back up 460gb of stuff)

Spicy Anasazi Bean Burger

Neat.  But will it eat me before I eat it?

Went to the U2 concert last night.  Not their biggest fan by any means, but you don't miss that kind of show if you have the opportunity to catch them.  What a production.

Colorado is alright isn't it?
Some pretty big cities there, its not one of the empty states at least.

Only one big city.
Denver has 600k, with a metro of 2.5 mil.

^It's just that no one ever talks about Colorado.  The last time I read anything about Colorado it's because my namesake shot himself in the face.

I'd like to see Turn Off the Dark, too, but that's mainly for the possibility that someone would die.
