They want people to leave them an look at other ones and maybe click on the pretty horse circus ad to the right.

I'm a little bummed as I think Civil is pretty remarkable tech.

...I'm reasonably sure you just rebutted your own outrage? I don't want a jitney driver at a sawmill to be stoned. Or anyone operating heavy machinery. Or my doctor, my kid's teacher, cops, anyone handling substantial amounts of money, etc. etc.

Make judicious use of the barred F chord on the fifth fret if you want to funk it up a bit, and it's not hard to figure out the bass line slide on the second and third strings. Not recommended for campfires with the family, but a great little song to have in your fingers. :)

Re: Columbus Crew fan reveals why she flipped the bird at Don Garber and TV camera at MLS Cup final

Legendary and awesome. Full and deserved respect from a Timbers supporter for 99.999% of the Crew supporters at the game that day. The ones who threw cans at our boys can go f--- themselves.

Re: CONCACAF Gold Cup: Powell's agent says it's a 'sad time' for his client - Latest News - Jamaica Observer Mobile

lawduck — Fri, 17 Jul 2015 15:19:44 -0000

Just to let you know, he is not viewed like that at all in Portland. Jamaica's coach is being awfully loud about Powell's departure, and both player and agent are remaining quiet until the competition is over. I'll wait to hear Powell's side before coming to any conclusions...and even then I won't diagnose mental conditions on his behalf.

My comment was in response to Nix, but thanks. :)

Wait, WHAT? Someone on the internet used a click-bait headline to draw attention to what they were saying, and drive ad impressions? The devil you say!

The last sentence of your first paragraph, as others have more eloquently pointed out, has nothing to do with, and receives no support from, the statement that editors used clickbait headlines.

lawduck — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:40:11 -0000

Actually, upon further listening, I'm starting to feel a little weird about them too ;) I think in the same way that they tackled Atlantis mythology in Survival Story, they seem to be deeeep into the Christ story in this album. One thing you can never question is their commitment to theme.

Anyhoo, I'm bummed it's not a coded message to you.

Well, I dunno, maybe it's prior art, but the second verse of "Run (Run Run Run)" has "from Babylon to Avalon" delivered very much in the style of "Get Fresh," and it appears to reference a bunch of folks "going somewhere fast" that they tried to follow/emulate.

Toronto, generally?

Thanks for the suggestions. :)

Re: The Trickle-Down Potential of Centers of Excellence

lawduck — Thu, 15 Nov 2012 12:23:47 -0000

The flip side of the coin is that consumer expectations may rise regarding a small company's participation in social media, because all the big dogs are doing it. It may be that differentiating on "big" will return ("does YOUR credit union have a Center of Excellence?"), and if that seems to resonate, sharing isn't going to happen (I don't think), except to the extent that people brag about it at conferences.

Re: Why App.net is No Threat to Twitter

lawduck — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 12:22:27 -0000

I love the smell of linkbait in the morning. There are numerous things that you can say about the app.net model, the most interesting being the pay-to-play model as contrasted to freeee. Perhaps another cup of coffee would have yielded a stronger result.

Re: Is Portland the new Peoria? Google Offers arrives at Floyd’s

lawduck — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 13:52:44 -0000

I apologize that I can't remember the study name or even who ran it, but marketing lore has it that Portland is the city with the "lowest tolerance for borrowed values," which means that if your franchise/service/whatever can survive here, it will play in just about every other place in America. So in that sense, at least, the answer is yes.

Re: Chalk vs. Whiteboard

lawduck — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 16:07:27 -0000

Colored chalks are usually much prettier than dry-erase markers. Also, there's no such thing as whiteboard paint, and you can turn any wall into a blackboard. I'd say that puts chalkboard over the edge...

Er, not too much? Are you just trying to create a tiny thread for conversation's sake? Because that's a really good idea.
