Ogged should go all Melian Dialogue and demand a tribute not to testify.
Someone's been reading his Thucydides!
Maybe he's not worried about a lawsuit, but about seeming stupid, or some bizarre provision of his health insurance.
The entire blog's gonna get subpoena'd, isn't it?
I propose we mount a punitive expedition, following which I will mount a Spartan king's wife.
Dude, you'd testify against some poor old man with a broken hip?
Anyone want to translate/explain Alcibiades' email address?
You can't handle the truth!
His character, in later life, displayed many inconsistencies and marked changes, as was natural amid his vast undertakings and varied fortunes. He was naturally a man of many strong passions, the mightiest of which were the love of rivalry and the love of preeminence. This is clear from the stories recorded of his boyhood. [2] He was once hard pressed in wrestling, and to save himself from getting a fall, set his teeth in his opponent's arms, where they clutched him, and was like to have bitten through them. His adversary, letting go his hold, cried: "You bite, Alcibiades, as women do!" "Not I," said Alcibiades, "but as lions do."
Celtics-some other team! Catch the fever!
First, the insurance company would have to know that you saw something. Second, you would have to be capable of testifying.
Ogged, you dont want to mess with the Greeks. Didnt your people learn that lesson already? If not, didn't the Wire teach you to fear the Greek?
Obviously, being dragged into the Greek guy's bogus lawsuit is what's going to out Ogged on the internets! We will all learn who the real Ogged is when those subpoenas issue!
Seriously, I think Some-Tim has it closest in 3-- this sounds to me like revisionist history of the I-am-not-an-idiot variety, not the Can-I-sue-someone variety.
yeah, me too, i think he is just saving his face to look not silly in his eyes and after some time he'd believe that he never run
but a lawsuit, i think he is not a mean person
if one's nature is mean and petty, may be one'd think of it, otherwise why bother
i think he is not a mean person
This kind of thing has a way of coming out when money is involved.
Don't do it, Greek guy! I don't want to testify against you!
Dude. Whatever happened to not snitching?
Whatever happened to not snitching?
Pools b4 immigrants, yo.
If you see something, say something.
I like the metro condensed version: "See it. Say it."
Someone needs to comment here with the pseud 'Flo'.
14: Ogged, you dont want to mess with the Greeks.
Yes, it is probably a trick, as the saying goes, "beware of Greeks breaking hips".
*Groan*. Beware of geeks making quips.
Whatever happened to not snitching?
If he had murdered someone, that'd be one thing, but I'm not going to lie so he can collect a few bucks.
he's now saying that he wasn't really running when he fell
And he is right of course, he was falling when he fell.
The guy may not really remember, the shock could have interefered with the laying down of the memory and he could have convinced himself at this stage.
I saw some sobering statistics recently on outcomes if you break a hip at age 60. Only something like 50% of people will recover sufficiently to live independently again. Worse, though, nearly 20% will die in the 12 months after the fracture from the usual complications of being bed bound (clots, pneumonia, other infections).
Meanwhile immigrants apparently have much higher rates of psychosis and this is consistent across different ethnic groups immigrating to different countries.
