My dad was in the Navy in WW II. He operated the telegraph (morse code).

He never told me any "war stories"...he only ever talked about funny things that happened or friends he'd made..and while he paid his Legion dues every year, he never hung out there as he wasn't interested in reliving or talking about the fighting/death/destruction he'd witnessed.

Yeah that "private & personal matter" cracked me up.

I also like the quote from the club:

"He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk."

So...I guess peeing on people is the last straw?

Cops arrest Jersey City councilman for urinating on concert-goers

by Charles Hack/The Jersey Journal Sunday November 09, 2008, 8:54 PM

A Jersey City councilman was allegedly drunk when he was seized at a Washington nightclub after urinating on attendees of a Grateful Dead tribute concert.

City Councilman Steven Lipski, who represents the Journal Square area and directs a charter school, was charged Friday with simple assault at Nightclub 9:30 on V Street, a spokesman from the Metropolitan Police District of Columbia said today.

Staff at the club spotted Lipski, 44, at the Dark Star Orchestra concert, urinating from a second-level balcony onto the crowd below, The Daily News reported today.

Club employees hauled Lipski from the club and held him until police arrived and arrested him around 9:50 p.m., the report said.

A "source" told The Daily News that Lipski was "very drunk," and said it wasn't the first time he acted up at the nightspot.

"We've dealt with this man before," the source is quoted saying. "He's never peed on anybody, but he gets really belligerent and drunk."

Lipski, founder and director of CREATE Charter School in Jersey City, didn't return several phone calls left for him at his home and on his cell phone.

But one of his city council colleagues, Willie Flood, said Lipski called her this morning and said the incident was a big misunderstanding. Lipski claimed he spilled a drink and a someone thought it was urine, Flood said.

"It is an allegation," Flood added. "We need the facts first and then make a determination what happened. It seems out of character."

Flood, who also is the Hudson County Registrar, made headlines earlier this year when it came to light she hired her son for two government jobs even though he had previous run-ins with the law.

Richard Heinecke, owner of Nightclub 9:30, declined to comment today.

Downtown Councilman Steven Fulop called Lipski's arrest "embarrassing" for Jersey City.

Coupled with Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy's conviction for resisting arrest and obstruction of administrative law during a tussle with cops in Bradley Beach in 2006, Fulop said these incidents would lead investors to "question the leadership" of Jersey City.

"It is very humiliating," he said.

Healy was unavailable to comment and his spokeswoman, Jennifer Morrill, called the Lipski incident a "private and personal matter."

The mayor has characterized his thrice-appealed disorderly persons arrest in Bradley Beach in 2006 in much the same manner. The state Supreme Court refused to consider a final appeal of the charges earlier this year. Healy has maintained he was just trying to help the police sort out a domestic dispute.

"This is my personal outrage at the individual who decided to pull his penis out of his pants in the balcony at the 9:30 club on Friday and urinate on the crowd below. Your a Fuck Stick! You might just as well have pissed on the band in my opinion. Your a disgrace to the community and should be ashamed of your self. The irony is it’s someone on this board who is a frequent poster and claims to be a fan of the band. Well sir fans like you we don’t need. You pissed on hard working fans who paid good money to come to our show. How do you think they will remember their experience? There is no excuse for this and I ask you sir to please don’t come to shows anymore. If you can’t keep your dick in your pants take it someplace else. I am outraged!"

My personal opinion and commentary…..

Prolific novelist and "ER" creator Michael Crichton has passed away. He was 66.

Perhaps best known for being the author of Jurassic Park and its sequel The Lost World, which were turned into a hugely successful movie franchise, his numerous books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide.

In what his family calls an unexpected death, it was revealed that he was waging a private battle against cancer.

"While the world knew him as a great storyteller that challenged our preconceived notions about the world around us -- and entertained us all while doing so -- his wife Sherri, daughter Taylor, family and friends knew Michael Crichton as a devoted husband, loving father and generous friend who inspired each of us to strive to see the wonders of our world through new eyes," his family tells ET. "He did this with a wry sense of humor that those who were privileged to know him personally will never forget."

Are you saying Schwa would want to pick you up or the cabby would want to pick you up because you had Schwa with you?

The garbage can does not empty & reline itself.o

Contrary to popular belief, woman DO NOT want to hear the solo from Harry Hood 16 times in a row.

Clearly, you're hanging out with the wrong chicks.

This thread is pure gold....

I think the best rule is to never wash your woman's clothes if you don't know how to read the care instructions.

I'm a big guy and ladies' clothes tend to look small to me shrunken or not.

Don't ever make the mistake of shrinking their undies, even if the idea sounds tempting fellas.

Basher learned this one the hard way last week...while I appreciate him doing the laundry, cashmere never goes in the washing machine!!!

Wow. Just wow.

Any word if she's in on the Jackson reunion tour?

Odds are good that she believes Michael is a commie, too, and is destined to be struck down at any moment.

you're busy looking this shit up buy you're not taking your scrabble turn??? now there's a wtf.

All part of my negarious plot to drive you insane' date=' Schwa. [/quote']

You'd better not try to use that as a scrabble word!

Why not? That's totally a word. One who "negates" things could, rightfully, be characterized as "negarious"!

Yes. I just totally invented a word. My legacy will live on.

You know, there was a certain appeal to not being reachable at all times.

So I sometimes just leave my phone at home when I go out.

I have a story about Cliff that would get him kicked out of the republican party.

It's not fit for print here.

Tease!

I went to high school with a Justin Case.

And my friend's uncle was Harry Dyck.

Yeah, it's totally possible she was always batshit crazy and I didn't notice.

tooeffinglate.

Alright, I took my stupid turn.

you're busy looking this shit up buy you're not taking your scrabble turn??? now there's a wtf.

All part of my nefarious plot to drive you insane, Schwa.

Remember Victoria Jackson from SNL?

I always found her pretty annoying, as opposed to funny...but anyway...she's gone a little bit..um..batshit crazy...

Check out her website:

Some of her wisdom:

"I hope that America realizes that Obama is a communist before it's too late."

"Thank you God above for giving us George W. Bush, and for giving us John McCain and Sarah Palin."

"Obama, call me. I'll explain Christianity to you. Maybe you'll get saved and start loving unborn babies."

"I don't want a political label, but Obama bears traits that resemble the anti- Christ and I'm scared to death that un- educated people will ignorantly vote him into office."

Plenty more where those came from!

I really loved this album when I was little...

So what?

I really wanted to tell RD to relax.

I'm way too slow today.

No one ever tells me to get off their bus.

We use Scriptech. Seems pretty reasonable, but I haven't really shopped around.
