You might know where I live, but not where I'm from. I have a picture of me, as a teen, chilling with four AK-47s. My first concert was the Charlie Daniels band; my second was Hank Williams, Jr. My brother is in prison for a meth-related offense. If that ain't country… well…. you know the rest!

Well, Patrick, can you prove his bills weren't part of the NWO plot to…um… do something bad?

Think about it.

PS: Regarding No. 10 – isn't Godwin established law?

In Patrick's defense, that pig was asking for it. I don't know what that pig's problem was.

I use Windows on all of my work computers, for the usual work reasons, and both of my laptops (which double as work computers) Mike, because it's a superior gaming platform.

HORDE 4 LIFE!

And I know where you live. My neck of the woods is substantially more rural than yours. I'll bet you've never eaten a pig's brain.

I have, more than once.

I'm going to hire a camera crew to follow you people around to document your lives, because you meet some real winners in your day-to-day lives.

LOL @ at Mac-using technogeek qualifying as a "country lawyer." Then again, if centimillionaire lawyer Gerry Spence can get away with it, why can't you?

The sad thing is, almost everything he told me is true. He is a Harvard Ph.D., very well known in his field. He does know famous people, probably including lawyers.

He just refuses to pay his bills on time, or until he's called. I told him that a Gerry Spence would want a fat retainer, up front, to represent a deadbeat.

As for the anti-semitic homophobe comment, I chalked that up to simple hate. I have no particular problems with Jewish people or gay people, but I hated him with the intensity of a Fred Phelps about two minutes into our first conversation.

Maybe it's a Harvard thing.

I've learned that the most sociopathic clients are the ones who show me pictures of themselves with famous people the first time I meet them. Hands down, every time.
