  1. I started to watch Reagan vs Reagan, before I remember how much I hated it. Perhaps the worst television depiction of trial process - hearsay, leading the witness, redirect that is really just repeating what was said on direct rather than addressing new issues raised on cross... And don't get me started on the personal snark between counsel that would not have tolerated for one second in any courtroom I have been in. This is why I shouldn't watch legal shows.
  2. P is for Pete's apartment, where he had the cool video phone.
  3. I love all things British. Downton Abbey bores me to tears.
  4. Quof

    The Lexicon

    "contestant" Hee! You mean litigant. Although I understand how they could be viewed as contestants on a game show.
  5. G is for the Gellers' house in Long Island, where lots of stuff happened, like Jack feeling up Judy in the bathroom.
  6. Holy Hell, that photo has me rushing to my DVR.
  7. Maggie's dress has some unfortunate Anne Hathaway darts.
  8. Jared Leto has The Big Eyes.
  9. Just muted Amy Adams. This is why you prepare a speech.
  10. Matt Bomer and Benedict Cumberbatch have the same jaw. And skin.
  11. http://giphy.com/gifs/vulture-3rgXBG17wfrlZ4uYaQ Emma Stone's reaction to the Big Eyes joke.
  12. I'm following this thread, along with EW.com live blog. I'm exhausted.
  13. Kerry Washington's dress does not fit her boobs.
  14. Is that PeeWee Herman???
  15. Does everyone just pat the winner on the ass as they squeeze between the tables to get to the stage?
  16. If Amy Poehler isn't four months pregnant, she should fire whoever selected that dress. Frumpy and dumpy. Perhaps it's a ruse and she will change into something sexy before the show.
  17. And those goes back to my longstanding beef "Why in the hell are they discussing cases that are still under investigation in front of children, or frankly, anyone not involved in the investigation?
  18. I picked up a couple of pounds of stewing beef yesterday. I don't know why, it just looked good. Now I need to do something with it. Any suggestions? Preferably something that I can freeze for weeknight meals. And no mushrooms. Mushrooms are evil.
  19. I didn't get the distinction they were making "live with Penny two nights a week." Did they mean "sleep at Penny's two nights a week?" Because surely they are doing that now, since the Roommate Agreement provided that amorous activities were to take place at Penny's apartment (the broken bed, homunculus discussion).
  20. I just rewatched "The Life We Choose", when Danny's friend is killed in an undercover operation, and Henry and Nicky compete in a talent competition. What the hell was with that cutesy baby singing voice that Sami was using???
  21. Heating up some lasagna, made with homemade tomato sauce, ricotta, fresh spinach and turkey sausage. It's pretty awesome.
  22. Shades of Everybody Loves Raymond and the meatballs.
  23. The settlement was achieved when the boy was a minor, meaning it should have been approved by a judge. The boy's lawyer would have been retained by a parent, but would have been acting in the boy's best interests, and should have recommended to the parent that the funds be invested until he turned 18, and provision made for a structured settlement as described above. No income tax consequences, and the teenager isn't handed a big fact cheque he can't handle. I have never seen a judge approve a settlement that would simply have funds turned over at the age of majority, it's not in the child's best interests, unless it is a relatively small amount. Structured settlement companies are highly regulated in Canada, where I have been practising law for over 20 years. Not sure what jurisdiction QuelleC is in to take issue with their business ethics.
  24. He received a settlement of $150,000 for a car accident that resulted in a broken hip. And foolishly, it was turned over to him in a lump sum when he turned 18.
