It was a very small (read: 2 lawyers) intellectual property law firm. I wrote patent applications. It was a grad school gig. I never heard of this LaRoche guy. Hey, I googled around and found the firm: http://www.aplegal.com/ Looks like Steve and Mike have gotten a lot bigger! I’m pretty sure it was on the DC side, though my memory is fuzzy.

Chris, I lived on Valley View Avenue--a tiny curvy street between Willow and Maple with only about 12 houses. The metro, downtown TP, food coop, library, and municipal building were all a short walk away. Was the law firm in the MD side? Did you know George LaRoche? “Kolya, were you there in 1999-2000?”

If so, we really were neighbors. I lived in College Park too. Kolya, were you there in 1999-2000? If so, we really were neighbors.

We lived about a ten minutes walk from the Takoma metro station and about a seven minute walk from Takoma Park's tiny downtown area (farmers market, Mark's Kitchen, etc). Candide, you should move to Takoma Park. It's the real America. During the last two presidential elections in the Takoma Park ward were I lived (Ward 1) Bush came in THIRD both times--in the single digits, I believe. Chris, so we were neighbors!

Better get a higher fence from Home Depot” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EHWujXubNM&feature=related'' :-) The reason I thought of it is that it did actually happen to a guy from our village, an electrician. A number of building contractors I had the pleasure of preparing mortar for as a student confirmed it:-) (so it must be true?) Anyway the legend goes he came home from work an hour early and literally saw a guy pulling up his pants and jumping out over the back wall. In fairness the wife did and does 'have form' and its actually quite sad. Stuff like that is common in Ireland. Well, not the wall jumping bit, but anyway... “Boom boom boom(?)

Better get a higher fence from Home Depot”

As are people who treat others like retards for using the word 'dyev' :-) Boom, boom! Running out of ideas, Candide? No Plan 'B'? You werent winning any argument, you knob-end. You were being a first class asshole and I responded appropriately. If you dont like being shot at, then dont fire on anyone. And apart from anything else, you threw the 'strangers jumping over my fence' thing out there. It begged to be ripped at, much less so than using 'dyev' once. And no-one actually insinuated anything about your personal life. What a total wanker. And gimme a break with the fist bullshit. You're starting to sound like Mike Averko, throwing transatlantic shapes:-) ”And oh, by the way, people who insinuate about their opponents personal lives, to buttress a losing argument, are the lowest kind of pond scam life and the only answer they really deserve is a fist in the face, hard (Boom).”

An honest-to-goodness music video from India. The "value added" part is what makes it so funny. An English speaking dude (I assume an American, but I could be wrong) added the lyrics according to "how they sound." It's amusing that once you start reading the words the singers indeed seem to be saying those words in English. Now I'm curious as to what the real song lyrics say in Hindi (or Bengali? or another language?). And I also wonder whether the "transcriber" has done the same with any Russian videos...
