If you had read even the very first post, you'd have your answer.

Funny thing about the whole thing too. At least Facebook and other sites make you read it BEFORE you join. It's once you join that's the problem.

So essentially Martin kidnapped three people in the course of the video, with the addition of identitiy theft as well. I wonder if this is the same universe as Crime and Punishment... in which case ALL major felonies are decriminalized to some degree.

My only VALID nitpick though is Jer's punch, but he already explained that he only threw one other punch in his life. Even then, his punch would still feel staged. Maybe a hook to the face, a jab in the stomach, or an uppercut would have looked more convincing.

It was funny, though still quite jerky with its quality, like it was a live feed on a bad connection.

I really liked it. It reminded me of an old Batman-esque stage punch. It was just the wrist bent down that bothered me. I'm just worried about your heatlh, Jer!

The thing about the punch is, that kind of punch is the one they always do in videos: Perpindicular to the camera's POV, straight arm, etc. It's like an intentionally comedic punch.

I mean, really, fake punches aren't hard to throw. I've done professional wrestling(obviously indie level), so I know what I'm talking about here.

On the one hand, I think I understand what you guys are going for with the punch, but on the other hand, I'd really like to see some decent punches in the future. Maybe sometime if I get ahold of a camera I can do a tutorial or something.

Basically the key is to make really light contact, don't whiff it (unless you've got a good camera angle, then you can get away with it). Keep your fist open, so even if you hit too hard, it wont hurt. Also, never hit in the ears. That's the worst.

Blip seems to be faster so what every you got Blip to do Graham it seems to be working. I now am able to watch videos with out waiting about the length of the video for it to buffer which is very annoying for commodoreHustles.

I didn't notice until you pointed it out, but I assure they're not bruises. I think a skin blemish.

I know.


Yup, the American bar doesn't distinguish between a right to practice and rights of audience. In contrast, a British (/Canadian/Australian) solicitor may not serve as an advocate for a client in a superior court or really, technically, in any.

(They appear to represent clients in lower Courts only because they are acting as their legal agent and submitting applications etc. in the client's place, as soon as you reach a superior Court which requires rights of audience, they are no more able to address the Court than their client would be)

In Canada all lawyers called to the bar may practice as both a barrister and a solicitor. Usually lawyers are refereed to as lawyers in Canada.

I am going to chalk this one up to too much American television.

I almost followed through but couldn't quite come up with a tastefully poignant joke about domestic abuse. It's probably better that way.

Admittedly Tally has played the victim of spousal abuse before in the Secret Life of Toast.

Just what I was thinking. Perhaps two or three imaginary spousal abuse relationships make one real one.

...is this another instance of incorrect controller usage? Looks like an Xbox DVD remote used to operate the TV.
