- I can agree with this (even #5). And I find the list rather ironic. - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 24, 12:31 2

Something I hadn't realized: Gary Sheffield is now an agent. - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 24, 09:02 13
- Don't you need to an attorney to be an agent? Or is that just preferred since they understand contracts and contract law. -- nm - Krusty Dec 24, 09:30 6
  - Being an attorney is not necessary, though a lot of attorneys end up being agents for athletes, musicians, and other entertainers. - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 24, 09:44 4
    - A closer-to-home example might be an independent insurance agent or a real estate agent. - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 24, 09:48 1
      - This makes complete sense, thank you. -- nm - Krusty Dec 24, 09:52
    - Thanks for the info. I guess it's just likely they're an attorney but not in any way necessary. -- nm - Krusty Dec 24, 09:47 1
      - Yep. And a lot of attorneys get burned out on practicing law and become agents of various types. - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 24, 09:50
  - I don't know -- nm - Master P Dec 24, 09:41

    - He was a violent hitter. That swing was an angry swing like the baseball had hit his wife and cursed out his mother. - Krusty Dec 24, 09:29 3
      - agreed. he looked like he wanted to murder each and every baseball. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 24, 09:56
      - You had to be paying attention if you were anyone sitting in the left hand side of the stadium, heh - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 24, 09:35 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 24, 09:45

  - I have to go in at noon and work until 8:30. Stupid sexy grocery store. -- nm - Qale Dec 24, 08:53 3
    - Yes, but think of all the merry, hectic, fabulous people who will be rushing in for their last-minute stocking-up. -- nm - ReluctantYuleLog Dec 24, 09:11 2

- lol: "is an a moron." smacks self in face. -- nm - Jovian Dec 24, 08:22
This seems like a non-story the CBC has about a Toronto city councilor's Twitter feed. Not very offbeat at all, but he's got a great handle. -- (link) - Mop Dec 24, 08:19
Is it Christmas yet? -- (link) - Mop Dec 24, 08:15
Is the White House theatre getting The Interview? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 24, 08:13 1

Whatever, I just made a key lime pie on a whim. -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 24, 08:05 4
- see - the flaw in making key lime pie often is, you can't get away with a "taste" slice to make sure it turned out ok. -- nm - JenBro Dec 24, 08:08 3
  - Slice the entire pie, arrange the wedges into a star pattern, and if a piece or two gets eaten along the way, so be it -- nm - Roger More Dec 24, 08:52
  - watch me -- nm - CQ draped in tinsel Dec 24, 08:09 1
