patois got a reaction from digitalphoenix in Bling's Review of Lust4house@Blue
I have to say, the BlingJokesâ„¢ just keep getting wittier and more original (such as ones based on 5-year-old South Park episodes)

patois got a reaction from raincry in Scary pat-down searches at airports

There has to be a better way to carry out security measures than this...I think the airport personnel are probably getting a kick out of doing these searches. Probably the most power they've ever had or will have in their lives.

Oh yeah - I will be looking for a job in environmental law. I'll be looking for jobs with the government or public interest organizations (Audubon Society, Sierra Club, 1000 Friends of Florida - these would be the absolute best)
And good luck Chaflas - it's a wild crazy trip, but it's worth it
Thanks all - this is an awesome day....

I am so happy and relieved - right before I checked today I thought there was no way that I made it. But I want to thank everybody who wrote me encouraging words while I was away studying...and for letting me do so much writing on the board - that really helped me take my mind off the horrible stress I went through this past month and a half waiting for the results. Thank you all SO MUCH!!!!

patois got a reaction from xxgrooveericxx in Today is 9/11...what were you doing three years ago when you found out what happened?
I had just started law school. I ended up sitting in what was normally my Criminal Law class with the rest of the students, watching everything unfold on the classroom TVs. My teacher, Bruce Rogow (who got a claim to fame for representing 2 Live Crew's freedom of speech in their album As Nasty as They Want To Be) watched with us. He was cracking jokes even then....a reporter grabbed someone off the street, questioned them about something. It looked like the guy was taking advantage of someone but he said he was just trying to help them....something like that. That's when Rogow said, "Never trust a witness" and the class laughed. It was so strange for there to be laughter in that room...but apparently it was needed comic relief.
But then the towers fell in front of us...I just shouted "No!" I thought about my brother, sister, and my visiting mom in Brooklyn...
I lived in NYC for about 2 years after finishing at Rutgers, with my then-boyfriend. We always went all over the city...trying to see everything there was to see. I loved the World Trade Center...we went up together the first time and then I went when I had a day off unexpectedly from work. I wrote about the first time in my journal, which I shared with my school right after the attacks, and that I have posted below....
September 20, 1996, my diary entry
We walked back to the World Center, because I'd said I wanted to go to the top. He wanted to sing songs about flying when we got to the top. When we got in we found out, to our shock, that it was $8/head. However, we shelled it out. We waited in the rollercoaster-long line to go up. Once we got there, I was very impressed with the height and also by having the vast view beneath me be intelligible, and not some meaningless jumble of buildings, streets and rivers. We looked first over the Bronx, Coney Island and out to the ocean. Then we sat for a long time looking uptown. That was where we saw the most to recognize. He pointed out the arch of Washington Square Park. He was kind of my own personal guide of the view. Then, after being hypnotized by the view for a long time, it occurred to us to go up to the roof. That is what we did. I was amazed by what we found there. It was a calm, windless, slightly warm sundeck we found up there 1035 feet high, with the occasional clouds drifting right overhead. We walked excitedly around the rectangular walkway, taking in the view hemmed in by nothing but sky. We leaned there against the railing. Then we skipped around to the other side and parked ourselves on a bench facing the Jersey view. The moments were out of sight. I felt then and there that I was immersed in heaven. As we descended, the sun was setting.
