On Monday, April 20, 2015, Judge Buchwald ruled on the cross-motions for summary judgment pending in Jack Urbont's case against Ghostface Killah and Sony Music. Sony won on both the work-for-hire grounds and the preemption grounds detailed in my last post about this case. Mr. Urbont can appeal this decision, but for now it appears that the source material for at least 13 G:TB posts has run its course. And Ghostdini (and Sony) is still the champ.
Pretty Tone probably still owes Mr. Urbont $3,758.58 as detailed previously, but good luck trying to collect. It will probably cost more than that to track down the Wallabee Champ and force him to disgorge the funds.
The moral of this story? The little guy always loses, and of course he does--if he could win, he'd be big. Except for Tyrion Lannister because he's a pimp.
I'm working from home today with a bad-lox-spread stomach bug and also because I'm getting my front steps repaired. I just took an eye-wateringly stinky bad-lox-spread dump in zbathroom and when I came downstairs our nanny announced that she was going upstairs to give zbaby a bath. I lit a match but still, awkward.
I'm trying out a new haircutting joint near my office. I got there early. They have a full bar. So I'm now waiting and sipping a Johnny Black on the rocks. This place may be keeper.
I spent $26 on clippers at Giant last December and haven't paid for a haircut since. Not regretting my choice.
So excited that Golden State is on tonight. Can't believe I didn't watch them all year. Watching them I can't help but think "Why doesn't everyone play like this". That's how easy they make it look.
Just watched all but the last 6 minutes of The Americans season finale. Why not the last 6 min? Cuz the episode was 1 hour and 11 minutes long and the dvr only recorded 65 minutes. Hey...not a big deal though. It was just the final episode of the season. Who feels sorry for me?
i wish i were like rob, immersed in a fantasy world (though book four sucked ass). instead, i am immersed in reality, where we are getting the house insulated, and the insulation guys discovered a mother raccoon and kits living in my attic. i read them several of zman's intellectual property posts, but they still didn't get the picture . . . so the little folks are winning in my house right now.
I'm guessing most folks are not as ancient as Rob and Dave and cannot remember Bruce Jenner as an Olympian. The world takes all kinds, though I'll confess this case is a head-scratcher to me.
I remember him as a spokesperson and wheaties box guy. Apparently he's deeply religious which only makes it more confusing. And he isn't attracted to men either.
I had to go to bed. From what I saw I think he did himself a solid with the interview. Who would have thought he wanted to do this decades ago? Must have been kind of a shitty life, not counting being surrounded by Kardashians. Clare Bear....I remember the '76 Olympics and watching BJ, large in part bc my parents were in attendance. They raved about the strip clubs. And Z....another headscratcher....he is a conservative.

sad to see this recurring feature end, for sure. maybe you can write a rap song about it, z.
I prefer Whodini. I mean, friends - how many of us have them?

Jack Urbont filed a motion for reconsideration so I might be able to eke another post or two out of this.

you don't see transitions like that much any more. well done, mayhugh.
Mayhugh is like a photochromatic lens. Unless the transition is sexual reassignment. Then he's like Bruce Jenner.
Last Man on Earth started so promising, then absolutely fell off a cliff.
I haven't paid for a haircut since I was 21. One of the few advantages of extremely premature baldness.
Watching Golden State is tremendous. My favorite NBA team in many, many years.
I'm still in for Last Man on Earth.
Haircuts are a ritual I kinda miss....a good barber shop, lots of chatter, regulars, hot foam and a straight edge razor. Good times.
I own balding clippers. There is no pretense. 1/16th cut baby.

Danimal, have multiple Americans episodes to catch up on, so we're all left hangin', brutha
23 points in 4 minutes. That's a 276 point pace.
4:30 in to the first quarter and Golden State is 5/5 from 3.
Golden State has started 5-fer-5 from three. Not too shabby.
Mark wins the typing speed award.
How long until we get a Sonya Curry sighting?

BBQ at Dave's this wkd.
Steph was pretty solid last night. Just dropped 40. We're at the point where I don't think I could be any more in the tank for him.
the shot that tied the game late was just stupid. over davis, moonshot trajectory, while getting clobbered. stupid.
I should also mention that Curry's game saving three was impossible.
someone should do a filler post of that stupid, impossible shot so we have easy access to it.
So you're saying I shouldn't have gone to bed at 11:30?
I might be mildly overstating, but anyone who thinks Harden should win the MVP over Curry hates the game of basketball.
Danimal--go online to get that last 6 mins of The Americans.
It was absolutely an OMFG ending
Ok....just watched it. That is a large can of worms that has been opened. At least we only have to wait, what, 8 months to see the next episode?
And speaking of can of worms, is anyone watching this Bruce Jenner interview?
my neighbor's out of town for the weekend, so my daughter and i just walked their dog. it's a pit/lab mix. that dog is strong as fuck.
My wife couldn't walk our older pit when he was young. He was 70 lbs of pure muscle Nadija would just pull her down the street.
I just had to identify pasta to prove I wasn't a robot.
Fusilli?
We are watching the bruce Jenner interview. He's really brave to do this.

Drunk. Panic in Bklyn.
