Lawyers? I eat lawyers for breakfast

Wouldn't they be all gristley and bitter? If you like things pickled, many of the lawyers' I know would have some pretty pickled and potentially tasty livers.

Oh sorry I was actually referring to eating female lawyers.

So was I!

These stories about how all the names came about are great! I like the history behind them.

Puerto Rican and Jewish, Spoo? That's an interesting combination. I have never met someone from Puerto Rico that wasn't extremely CATHOLIC. I mean extra super CATHOLIC.

We have a local doctor here in Wichita Pedro Murati. Apparently his family owns half of Puerto Rico.

Sorry to change the subject (I'm very random today), but can anyone authenticate this Louis Vuitton?



It appears well made on the exterior. It is MUCH better than every fake I have ever seen. But, the interior seems just a little cheap. It is the exact same size and shape as one my wife has that I know is real, but it is the classic Brown monogram.

I wasn't sure which details were important to authenticate it. So, here are a few:

Needs to have a number/letter code in there somewhere. Either foil stamped or embossed. Usually well hidden.

One of my good friends, who is many many years my senior is actually originally from PR, and is the head of a small coven of witches.

My name came from my high school pen and paper RP days. We were playing a far east setting, and needed I needed a sir name for my character. So to good ol' Babelfish I went. When I looked up the word "darkness" or something edgy I cant remember, it came up with Takai. I went with it for years and years until one day I actually looked up the meaning, and found it to be expensive. Which ironically works well for now; talk about picking something out from the future.

I've used it as a username or part of one on a most of the forum sites I've been on since.

Totally off topic question. BUT, I have come to trust this group's opinions. So,

Really, this is OFF TOPIC. Are you sure you want to unspoiler this?

Anybody do fantasy football?

I have the #1 pick. In 10 years in the same league, I have never had the #1. I have won the whole thing a few times, but I was #6, 10, and 5.

Our league is a PPR league and we give 6 pts to QB for Touchdowns. So, QB's are worth more than in many leagues. But, we do not give QB's points per completions. I have always tried to avoid taking a QB any sooner than 3rd or 4th round. But, I have never had the chance to get a top 4 QB. I am wondering if I should pull the trigger and take a QB with the #1 pick. I'm a little concerned about Rodgers, so I would probably take Luck. If you check the predictions on yahoo with our exact scoring system, Drew Brees is ranked #1, but only by a few points.

If I take a QB, I am not going to end up with a top 5 RB and maybe not a top 5 WR, because with the #1 pick, I won't pick again until #24 and #25.

Absolutely not. You take RB. I say this as someone who's been playing for 13 years and finished top 4 in 10 of those. The lack of stud RB's means you get your pick of the litter. There are QB's outside of the top 4 who will produce enough to matter: Rivers, Stafford, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning. The only time to take QB in the first round is if you pick later in the round.

@SpooPoker Just hip hop stuffs. Had friends who had placements on big albums(Ice Cube Raw Footage album, etc) but not myself.
