I sat at that table, one fine spring day
Across from a girl so fair
Looking across the table at her,
It was like her whole family was there
If I did eat there I would be worried about that bench. It looks pretty unstable.

I knew it.
Heads would roll.
Hold on! You're getting ahead of yourself there. We don't know that anyone got into trouble until someone heads down there to confirm that they did.
You're right, I got aheaad of myself. Maybe the head guy in charge down there should have made sure they had a proper head case to put those in.
Off the top of my head I have this question. When they get to the coroner where will he put the toe tags?
NOTE: If this seems insensitive or irresponsible, it's only because it's so damn funny!

Apparently it is not a joke apparatus or cruel trick just for that cat's benefit. It looks like it is a real product, in business 10 years.
Check out the Manufacturers web page here.
These look like they are loacted in pet grooming facilities, where I guess the pets are going to be washed one way or another.
It is kind of funny, their claims of reduced stress throughout. I suppose you have to consider that the alternative to going in a box and being caught in the rain, is less stressful than a scratchable stranger dunking you under water.
It's like saying jumping out of a plane with a parachute reduces your stress compared to jumping out without one.

I played a little a long time ago when I was a teen, messed around a little in a band as a rhythm guitarist ... though I only knew bar chords and the guitars weren't mine.
I recently picked up the guitar after more than 20 years a few months ago with an acoustic my wife bought me a few years back (sat in the closet waiting for me to get it tuned). A guy I work with plays a little and he said he'd tune it for me. Once he did, he started writing Tabs out for me to learn and I've been driving my wife nuts with playing them over and overBut I'm having a blast and thought I'd ask people here at Lush if anyone plays and what kind of music they prefer to listen to vs what you play.
Hell anything about guitars really, how do you play? What do you play? Favorite albums?
Sounds like we are in a kind of similar boat. I got rid of the guitar I had and didn't play since high school a few years ago. My wife wanted to try guitar and I bought her an acoustic a few years back (a yahama decent price, great sound).
Around the beginning of the year I watched the movie "It Might Get Loud" (Awesome movie) and decided it was time to get a new electric guitar. I started playing my wife's forelorne acoustic to make sure I was interested, and then started watching for electrics and researching what I wanted in a guitar. I was partly inspired by wanting to do some electronic projects with the sound. Still haven't started that yet.
I've found that there is a world of great info on the web. It's so different than when I was a kid really trying to learn and haviing to try and pick everything by ear, from a cassette.
The ultimate tabs are great, have you downloaded power tab yet? Music that plays itself! Can you believe it?
The number of instructional videos are incredible and lessons available to watch online.
gibson.com has a really cool section of lessons. I really like Arlin Roth's videos. Lots of cool stuff there and it doesn't have to be hard!
Anyhow. glad to hear you are having fun with it, and SRV and the blues is where I would like to go with my plaing too!

There's also something of the sound from an acoustic that an electric guitar just can't compare to. I have thought about gettin a guitar for myself don't know how to play myself for when I go camping.
You can get a cheap acoustic at Walmart for less than $50 or go online to eBay or something similar and get them cheaper. Go into a music store and most have free picks. Learn to read Tabs (I can even teach you that, it is very simple) and you'll be good to go for the campfire
Ha I know ya can get'em there but these days 50 bucks to me is a small fortune lol one day I'll get one just don't have the funds at the moment
When you get your 50 bucks up watch craigslist. There are tons of instruments on there. There are lots of people who go to the store and buy one that sits in a closet for years and it eventually finds its way onto CL.

If you read the deposition, the lid says "contents may be hot"... she took it off while she was driving... this to me is someone who is too stupid to be allowed to wander freely in society. She had no one to blame but herself.
If I ever hit the lottery, I will begin a hobby of monitoring lawsuits. Anytime one in my region is stupid like this... I will sue the plaintiff for wasting tax payers dollars and clogging the courts. Hehehe. Tit for tat, per se.
Actually she wasn't driving, her grandson was and he had stopped so she could add cream etc.
There is a point here that 150-155 degrees is a safer, more comon, and more reasonable temperature for a hot drink than 180 degrees. McDonalds had hundreds of complaints and cases similar to this that they had ignored, including similar injuries.
Here is a scale that shows temperature vs time to 3rd degree burn. (found it here)
In other words serving a drink that can deliver a full thickness burn (3rd degree) in a tenth of a second is irresponsible compared to serving one that takes a whole whopping 2 seconds to scald to a 3rd degree burn. That 1.5-2 extra seconds gives even a slow 79 y.o. person a chance to react and lessen the severity of the burn.
She didn't sue because they sold her coffee, or because she spilled it. She sued over their practice of keeping and serving it dangerously hot, which combined with a simple spill (we've all done it) had a severe effect.
I can't stand baseless lawsuits, but that is why we have judges decide if they will go to trial and juries to hear them. I simply don't believe this was a baseless lawsuit.
There were apparently 12 jurors who felt the same way and found that she had a reasonable grievance, and that a punitave damages large enough to send a message to a corporate giant was in order.
This 79 year old dumbass took on McDonalds in court, and won, they've changed their practice. That's a David and Goliath story and an accomplishment.

Shit hell only a 180 degree? Crap I've been burned by shit hotter than that man and I've never sued anyone this damn country over the past number of years has become to fucking sue happy. Hell I spilled coffee on myself shit think everyone has at one point or another. Been burned on my mouth by hot cheese from eating a slice of pizza so what now do I go sue the pizza maker cause I was to dumb to know not to eat it that second out of the oven? Hell no. But hey that's just me.
I understand your point completely Bike and I'm with you people need to be resposible for their own actions and accept the dangers of the world we live in, but to give you an idea of the burns she sustained I found this...
"There is a lot of hype about the McDonalds' scalding coffee case. No one is in favor of frivolous cases of outlandish results; however, it is important to understand some points that were not reported in most of the stories about the case. McDonalds coffee was not only hot, it was scalding -- capable of almost instantaneous destruction of skin, flesh and muscle...
Stella Liebeck ...79 at the time, ordered coffee that was served in a styrofoam cup at the drivethrough window of a local McDonalds.
After receiving the order, the grandson pulled his car forward and stopped momentarily so that Liebeck could add cream and sugar to her coffee. (Critics of civil justice, who have pounced on this case, often charge that Liebeck was driving the car or that the vehicle was in motion when she spilled the coffee; neither is true.) Liebeck placed the cup between her knees and attempted to remove the plastic lid from the cup. As she removed the lid, the entire contents of the cup spilled into her lap.
The sweatpants Liebeck was wearing absorbed the coffee and held it next to her skin. A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body, including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin areas. She was hospitalized for eight days, during which time she underwent skin grafting. Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused.
During discovery, McDonalds produced documents showing more than 700 claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebecks. This history documented McDonalds' knowledge about the extent and nature of this hazard."
This is where I found these facts about the McDonalds Coffee case. (it's an interesting read)
I've been burned by stuff way hotter than 180 degrees too, however when a hot substance remains in contact with the skin it continues to transfer heat. I've never had my inner thighs, perineum. buttocks, and gential and groin area scalded to the point anything needed grafting, but I beleive if I had I'd be mad as hell.
There is also the idea we need to consider that in our legal system this case is presented before 12 impartial jurors. They hear the facts presented, and an impartial Judge presides. They are exposed to a lot more information than we get through the often wrong newspapers. We need to realize that this system is in place to offer us method to right wrongs against us, to settle disputes peacefully. When somone has been through it and wins we need to realize that apparently the case has merit.
On another note, the Lawyers and Barr Association have hijacked the process so that you have to pay them so much to participate it is prohibiive to bring a lawsuit, with deep pocket corporations able to stifle even legitimate cases.
I agree there are a lot of pointless and opportunistic lawsuits. I think that bringing a frivolous lawsuit should be considered criminal fraud or extortion and be prosecuteed by the state, but sometimes we don't know it's frivolous until the facts begin to be revealed.
Now, I think we should all have a nice hot cuppa joe!
I'll just go google for directions!
