Quiz Time
You are water. You're not really organic; you're neither acidic nor basic, yet you're an acid and a base at the same time. You're strong willed and opinionated, but relaxed and ready to flow. So while you often seem worthless, without you, everything would just not work. People should definitely drink more of you every day.

Well This Effin' Sucks
I've lost all comments dating before 07/03/04. Does Haloscan have a limit that I'm exceeding? Did Haloscan eff' something up? Or was it something I did? Shit! This sucks.
No Matter How Far Below The Mean I Am
I will never be this dumb.
Coming soon to a theater near you, Romanian Pie.
Nicolae Popovici, 43, told doctors he didn't want any more children, reports National newspaper.First lesson in keeping your anonymity, never use your real initials.
The man, from Topraiser in Constanta county, named only as NP in the paper,
...already has five children.Five kids... NEVER a reason to do something this extremely stupid.
He and his wife decided to use contraception but the condom they bought was too big so...PSA:If you're drinking something, please finish drinking, I don't want it coming out of your nose. If you're eating something, please finish eating, I don't want you choking on it.
he stuck it on with glue.Scratch what I said earlier, first lesson in keeping your anonymity, DO NOT ever glue condom to your dick - no matter how much bigger the condom. Now a word from our sponsor:
Coming soon to a theater near you, Romanian Pie.
After sex, the man realised he couldn't remove the condom and went to his village's medical clinic for help.Longest trip to the village medical clinic EVER.
A nurse said: "He even said that he thought the condom could be used several times and that he wanted it stuck on his penis so he could use it again later."Wouldn't sperm just accumulate and... *shudder at the thought*... nevermind.
"We barely managed to remove it in the end."Women, imagine removing tape from your mouth and multiply that by a google. Not even the village idiot deserves that kind of pain - and yes, he will be called and forever known as "The Village Idiot".
Reasons To Vote Bush Illustrated
Now even a four year-old can understand why to vote for President Bush.
Lies, Damned Lies, Statistics
Found this study via Crescat. The study,
Females responded favorably 1) 50%, 2) 6%, 3) 0%.
No big surprises here. Men are easier than women. The only surprise is that if the actresses asking the questions were really attractive, then why aren't the numbers higher for the men? I would expect 100% across the board because we men are that easy.
The only answer - using the first pickup line and its success rate as the baseline - is that half the time, the actress using the pickup line wasn't attractive at all and in fact, was butt ugly. If things are held constant, then that would mean 50% of all men would sleep with a butt ugly woman if, "I've been noticing you around campus and I find you attractive. Would you sleep with me tonight?" were used as a pickup line on them. Again, we men are that easy if not downright slutty. Now doesn't that statistical analysis just make complete sense of the whole thing?
What's the most effective pickup line on a college campus? Psychologists Elaine Hatfield and Russ Clark had actors (independently judged to be attractive) approach students of the opposite sex with a variety of lines and recorded their success rates. The lines were:Males responded favorably 1) 50%, 2) 69%, 3) 75%.
1) I've been noticing you around campus and I find you attractive. Would you go out with me tonight?
2) I've been noticing you around campus and I find you attractive. Would you come over to my apartment tonight?
3) I've been noticing you around campus and I find you attractive. Would you sleep with me tonight?
Females responded favorably 1) 50%, 2) 6%, 3) 0%.

Summer Associates Survey
Summer associates rate law firms in categories like Firms That Offered the Most "Real" Work and Firms with the Most Opportunities for Mentoring. All of which are subcategories falling under the main category of Firms That Won't Be Offering Wayne a Summer Associate Position.

Why should I even bother?
So after several weeks of Con Law I still find myself struggling to pay attention in class. Perhaps it's Wayne "the Asian Sensation" Soller (aka Mr. Squarepants), to my left, working away on his crossword puzzle. It could also be my fiance, Brian, on my right, initiating discussion on MS Word, in between innings of his Nintendo baseball game.
Seriously though, I can't really blame them. It must be that damn spider solitaire game that keeps distracting me - It's the devil (contrary to popular belief)!

What? I'm only so much of a sensation that it has to be qualified with the word "Asian"?

Third-Tier Conversation
Brian: Dude, these crackers are soggy.
Myself: It's because they're in the soup.

Last Night Recap
Filipinos have a hard time getting served at Santa Monica's Q's. Shot glasses stacked to dizzying and too unsettling heights for Sean. Hot wings are hot. The chicken on the nachos are not grilled. I suck at bouncing quarters. Don't cover the fries with the vegetables. Smokers make the place cold. Jay shows up and disappears for a bit. Bussy is toasted. Passing cellphones around to drunk dial. I take a shot to the ribs. If I Had A Hammer is used as a serenade. Brian stands up and yells. Vinny shows up. Brian's car key finds its way to the bartender - at least he didn't give him his room key. Waitress had a seven and a two-year old. RNs get no respect but seem to have the right perspective on things. Who can drive? There's a curve. At Jerry's until a quarter past three. Knifed the pumpkin. This one has herpes.

Fortune Cookie Says
So there was this baptismal party a while ago catered with chinese food. A lot of fortune cookies were given and left over. I have them all and having been eating them for the past couple of weeks. I thought I'd share my fortunes with everyone. It's a cheap posting gimmick but whatever.

Yay Me! Boo, Wayne.
So today we held the annual Hoover Mock trial and it went pretty well. Annie, Kate, Oksana, Vanessa, and little Joy did an awesome job. Danny did a great job too. As the prosecuting attorney he got Wayne convicted of robbery. So sad for wayne but he was playing the role of the thief, so I guess it was part of the gig.
All in all I was pleased and relieved that this thing is all over. Good job people!

Do It
A Loyola law professor does it. A University of San Diego law professor does it. A Wisconsin law professor does it. A UCLA law professor heads a group of law professors who do it. A University of Tennessee law professor is one of the more popular ones among those who do it. A Stanford law professor shows that he can do it. There are many more law professors who do it, but I'm too lazy to link to all of 'em.
Anyway, with all of the law professors who do it, it got me to thinking why a SWLAW professor, or a collection of them, has yet to do it. I know I'd be a regular reader. No matter how lame it was.

Welcome New Readers!
Fellow contributors to this blog, please note that Brophy and Walker are confirmed readers of this blog. So please stop talking shit about them and choose another target among the many more deserving ones at law school.

So I wore my shirt from those guys today. First of all, it's a really cheap quality shirt. I expect more for $17.95 plus S&H. The shirt did attract the right kind of attention though. But this shirt oughtta get me laid to balance things out. It didn't. So I'm still a bit peeved. But I'll get over it.
I Used My Full Name To Get The Following Result
| Your Penis Name is: 100% All-beef Thermometer |
And if I should be so fortunate to add Esq. to my name it becomes:
| Your Penis Name is: Anaconda |
Evidence Midterm
40 MC questions. 1 hour given. Proctors were Nazis. I took about 25 minutes of that hour. First one out of the midterm. No bonus points given for the first one to finish. Who knew? I should have taken more time. I scored below the mean. I'm within one standard deviation of the mean though. I still have a shot at a more than decent grade. An outside shot. But a shot nonetheless.
Sometimes hope is all we have.

Bunny's Scary Email
So Brian has been showing the aforementioned email to people at school. Reactions:
Trini: Jumped back a little in her seat but didn't let out a scream. Probably was too stunned.
Liz: Let out a scream and jumped back but it was probably more due to Karla's reaction than to the video itself.
Josh: Definitely was scared because of Karla's reaction.
Karla: Let out a big scream and flew herself to the back of her seat. 3L ITAPers watched in amusement wondering what the joke was.
Kate: Let out a scream for everyone in Con Law to hear just before class started. Loud enough to shut everyone else up and to send Brian and myself into hysterics.
Hopefully But Not Likely
Hopefully, SWLAW doesn't ask any of the dumb questions mentioned here during the Recruitment Conference interview thingie in DC. And hopefully we can get a decent Con Law professor or two out of it.
Yay!
Stummy is back to posting. Though I'm afraid it's only because she's procrastinating from studying for the Evidence midterm, so it probably won't last.
WTF
A lot more people in the library at this time than usual... oh yeah... Evidence midterm. Crazy stressed out fucks. I wonder if I should ease their worries and let them know that I intend to bring down the grading curve.
Fuckity-Fuckity-Fuck-Shit-Shit
That's about as much worrying as I'm going to do for the Evidence midterm that begins in less than two hours. So wish me well or give me sympathy sex afterwards. Your choice.
Is It That Time Already?
Saw Christmas lights on a house in the 'hood for the first time this year - not counting those houses who haven't taken them down for the past 17 years, of course.

Allow Me To Bitch
This past week at school, a couple of sectionmates, on separate occasions, tried to strike up a conversation with me, which is fine by me. I have no problem holding a conversation with anyone, so long as he or she isn't one of the many I dislike and so long as he or she doesn't have halitosis and so long as that person makes me either think, laugh, smile, or makes out with me at the end of the conversation - once again, sans the halitosis.
But what really got to me was that neither of these people thought to introduce themselves to me throughout the entire conversations even though it was our first time exchanging words with one another. Now I know that I probably should have waited for a break in the conversations to properly introduce myself but isn't it upon the one who began the conversation to make the first of the introductions?
Anyway, not much to bitch about so life must be going well.
