Kiss my grits.
Recently my law school dropped from a "First Tier" to a "Second Tier" law school in the US News and World Report rankings, and the kids wanna riot. It's kinda ridiciulous, because anyone with half a brain knows that those rankings don't mean shit. Also, it's not as though anyone in my school ever had a shot at Harvard or Yale, so I'm not too...

I suppose I really set myself up for that one.
stiles:
These are law students who are saying that?
yipe.
yipe.
And why am I in such a good mood?
Because Paul Smith, oral advocate (ha ha, but seriously, people, that's what they're called) in the Lawrence v. Texas decision, spoke at my school yesterday. And it was fucking amazing. Man, when he read from Kennedy's majority opinion, about how
"Had those who drew and ratified the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth Amendment or the...

*tips hat* Thanks, ma'am, and likewise.
I'm particularly interested in the legal fraternity's reaction to this decision:

OK. Anyone who gets off on lectures on legal decisions has my admiration. I see you're a member of Legal Peoples, too. Long live jurisprudence.
Let us all bask in television's warm glowing warming glow.

Crap. I haven't used my Schwinn cruiser in about a year, and I forgot the combination to the lock. It's only a $5 cable lock, so I should be able to cut it with something, right? Right?
Double crap.

You should play at cat-burgler and get a stethoscope and listen to the lock while turning the dial. It's that simple: I've seen it done in the movies 
sinisterbhvr:
I love my cruiser and I lost my key as well. (good thing it wasnt locked to anything but itself)
You know that saying, "If you live in New Orleans long enough, eventually someone will film part of a pilot for a police drama in your house?"
Apparently, it's true.

Is this a crime investigation drama or another Law and Order spin off?
Crap. I hate writing about myself in cover letters, statements of interest/intent, and applications to various academic nimrodery, because you have to brag about yourself, but not come off as a pompous ass; demonstrate interest, but not be unctuous.
I think it would be easier if I were allowed to use the third person. And clip art.
More importantly, how do I get the job...

Sprinkle a little "well-suited" in here, an "uniquely qualified" there, perhaps a "to that end," or even a "favorable review" if circumstances warrant. Oh, and here's one: close it off with a "Kind Regards." An attorney here in the area whom I greatly admire dropped that one on me last week. Her wish is my command.
Finally, never pass on an opportunity to use the word "eager."
Knock 'em dead!!!

Went to the racetrack this weekend. It wasn't what I expected-- the races were really short. I guess I thought it would be more like NASCAR on horses.
And then I was woken up at two in the morning by someone playing the extended dance remix of "Tiny Dancer" on our piano. Apparently my roommate failed to inform his guests of the "No Elton John"...

My days of killing cars full of nuns are over. And yes, i realize how lucky i was in all things that night. Needless to say it won't be happening again. People my dad's age tell stories about cops doing that stuff back in the days of yore...i've never heard anything like that in modern times.
impboy:
now you would THINK that the people who run the races would think about, you know, ways to reach towards grouchy old grandpas who hang out at OTB. that guy who directed "sea biscuit" thinks that pre-teen girls would be a perfect market, and that makes sense, you know. back in the '20s and '30s, it competed with baseball and football.
so i just got in here from your post about palestinian suicide bombers and was very, very inspired by how you shaped your thoughts. you are a possessor of a finely tuned wit - hence, my presence upon these shores.
so, are you the queen of marvin gardens?

Just finished reading you comments on the 'Thats my Bush' tread. I'd simply like to say...you rule! 
So this morning on the way to school, my son asks me,
"Mommy? What's 'irony?'"
Explaining slightly abstract concepts to five-year-olds can be challenging, to say the least. So I told him that it's when there's a really big and often funny difference between what you expect is going to happen and what actually does happen. Not the most accurate definition, but we've got time...
