One is fat, the other one is not. They are both "alternative" models without bordering with Suicide Girls material. I love them both to insane levels, and I am not the only one apparently. But the "You wouldn't like them" was meant as a /tease you drooling bastards.

Telling me they're 'alternative' is the real tease.

Well, photo shoots like this are meant to happen in specific scenic locations, and that's why we were in such a natural place. The guy is a professional and the theme of the shoot was "wood nymphs". Also, we went there at like 7am and no one was around... for a while. Clearly, you (and everyone else) are right Merusk. I am surprised they were SO clueless and so naive. I would have known better than thinking it was ok to do that in a Roman park, but right there I was being mocked for being a carebear ( ) and knowing nothing about Ann Arbor. Well here's your reality check. All our photographed naked people are confined to one specific valley in California. However, we do have a top ten nude RV Parks. http://www.mademan.com/mm/10-nude-rv-camping-spots-america.html Wow, people are crazy... most of those spots are in cold places, what the hell?!

This just in from my lawyer. Dear Drew:
The prosecuting attorney will be dismissing your case. It will take some time, but she just emailed me that that she is going to dismiss your case.
hanno un buon fine settimana!
The end...?

"Dear Drew:
Yes it's over, you win! The dismissal will be entered on 2/8. I would really like some Parmigiano reggiano cheese, could you send me some?"
My lawyer is funny.

Not sure. Now that I am free to fly, I might go back to Michigan for another attempt at being stupid.

I highly suggest you send the cheese. You will have a lawyer friend for life if you become a regular supplier.

Funny thing is, sending the cheese from Italy would be all sorts of trouble, and it would be very expensive shipping. On the other hand, he lives in Ann Arbor, home of Zingerman's deli, one of those places in the US where you can get real Parmigiano Reggiano every day. So I guess I'll just call my friend there and have it delivered personally from the deli. It's twice as expensive there, but still better than shipping it. Ha.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

You can get it at Amazon: $20 for a pound, or a quarter-wheel (20 pounds) for $250. Not sure how your local retailer option compares to those, but most storefront delis mark up their specialty imported goods to at least double their cost. --Dave

As an inveterate cheese snob, I'd be careful. The lawyer may be able to tell the difference between Amazon and Costco and something approaching real. You can get Manchego from Trader Joe's here, but the stuff is really bottom shelf stuff compared to what's readily available in Spain.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

The Costco stuff is good. It's from Zanetti which is a major producer in Italy and has the Consorzio del Formaggio Parmigiano Reggiano production seal.

When you next fly back to the US, I'd bring any documentation declaring your case was dismissed. USCIS (surprisingly) isn't always 100% current. Bring anything to prove "I am not a criminal." CBP guards have a strange amount of authority to fuck with a person. Other than that, congrats.

Since Italy is on the Visa Waiver Program, you won't be needing a visa for simple tourist travel. However, you may wish to pop over to the Embassy if you and the staff there are not too busy, and inquire about having a note put in your file explaining your exoneration; there's a chance you'd have to make an appointment, I have no idea, might want to call. While I don't think they'd actually confirm/deny this, there's always a chance that the original warrant generated a derogatory hit on your file, so I don't think it would hurt to try to work it out before you get on a plane, lest you risk getting turned around at the port of entry...and trust me, you don't want that going into your records.

Thanks so much for the good advices. I'll try not to fuck it up this time. In the meantime, you all know this gem we have to sign before getting into USA, right? Of particular note, the last two lines of point B) Or are you trying to get into the US to take part to immoral or criminal activities?"
Or point C) Have you been involved, in the past or now, in sabotaging or espionage, or terroristic activities? Or genocide? Or, between 1933 and 1945, have you been involved, in any way, in the persecutions carried out by nazist Germany or its allies?"
I have been as literal as I could, punctuation included.

You would not believe the sort of information that some people will give to you freely. Some cultures really hate to lie.
Also, we really hate Nazis. I've heard stories of little old ladies in Germany getting refused visas because they were guards at concentration camps 50+ years prior.

Prime example of this is the routine traffic stop "Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?".

Perfect answer to that would probably be "I'm sure you'll tell me."

Prime example of this is the routine traffic stop "Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?". Or as the ex-policeman in that video on never speaking to the police said, "Do you know what speed you were going?" Followed by admitting to speeding a little because you were actually speeding a lot, which is still admitting to breaking the law. People don't want to just outright lie to authority for fear of getting caught.

For what? Obviously the tone should be slightly less disrespectful (lantyssa probably has the right of it here), but I see no reason to start guessing what law it is he's thinking of, whether or not I drove slightly faster than the speedlimit at some point, or if I just have a broken taillight. It's their job to tell me what they think I did wrong, not my job to incriminate myself, and furthermore if you were to admit to speeding "a little" (say 55 in a 50 zone when you were really doing 60-65), you've basically already lied to a police officer. In other words, you're screwing yourself over even more.

Your phrasing would make almost any cop immediately assume you'll give them attitude. It may not get you a taser in the face, but it will get you a ticket when they might have given you a warning.
