Judge Joe Brown gets benchslapped

Sorry for my lack of recent posts. I’ve been enjoying my last ever official “Spring Break” — assuming I do not completely screw up any of my courses.  I am back and I promise to try and post a bit more frequently.  However, my job search to practice law in Kentucky will take precedent. (note to reader: this is my shameless implicit plug for you to contact me if you can help out.)

 

Judge Joe Brown (yes, that Joe Brown) gets served up a big slice of humble pie in his courtroom outburst in a Memphis juvenile court on Monday.  Hear for yourself below.  Note how bad ass his mug shot is.  Here’s a separate link for those who don’t like YouTube — Joe Brown gets pwned

Casino Law – redefining the phrase “Awesomely bad”

Just a quick post for those of you that may not have had the pleasure of viewing this beautiful masterpiece.

Though he is my absolute most favorite TV lawyer of all time, Saul “Better Call Saul” Goodman might have to move over – this guy may have just one-upped him.

The story goes: Jamie Casino, a personal injury attorney in Savannah, GA, purchased 2 minutes of Super Bowl commercial time for the local broadcast area and the result is something that looks like a trailer for a Nicolas Cage movie or an HBO series.

• Tombstones? Check.
• Dry ice/fog? Check.
• Dramatic re-enactments and poses? Check.
• The most metal music you have ever heard? Check.
• a flaming sledgehammer? DOUBLE CHECK.

This is so awesomely bad.  I almost want to injure myself on purpose just so this guy could represent me.

Do you love Legos, too??

Build With Chrome!

I’m 27 years-old with a maturity level that peaks at that of a 19 year-old.  I also am super nostalgic, so I love anything that allows me to channel my inner-child.  I used to spend hours and hours with a huge tub of Legos. A lot of times, I would rage so hard at these problems:

• Right piece, wrong color (or vice-versa)
• 2 pieces that I need to pull apart are bound together with what I would swear is cement
• Dump out the whole tub and spend 45min looking for 1 piece
• WHERE THE HELL IS THAT ONE PIECE I NEED??? I JUST SAW IT 2 SECONDS AGO!

 

Mom won’t mind I dumped these out, I’m sure.

If only those kinds of problems were still my biggest life worries.  Sigh.

Never fear, Skynet Google has managed to fill the void.  In the latest product to employ their clever sleight-of-hand marketing strategy to disguise and make palatable their data-mining, we now have Build with Chrome.  Usually, I pass on their gimmicks because, to narcissistic skeptics like myself, it is easy to see their carrot-and-stick in most of their products:

“HEY! Use this new, super cool, handy widget to communicate with friends that wish you wouldn’t, post dumb shit on your WordPress blog, share stuff that no one cares about, and otherwise be an annoying troll! Just download this, click here, sign up for that… oh yeah, we’ll be collecting every single detail about you but don’t worry about all that — that’s a small trade-off for FUN!!!!”

It’s the same song and dance we’ve been presented with before. I’m totally diff—–BUT I DONT CARE THIS TIME BECAUSE LEGOS.

Check it out though, you can build stuff with just your web browser.  Not only that, you build (and publish) them in real-time locations via Skynet Google Maps so others using Build with Chrome can see what you’ve built.  Personally, my next project is going to build an enormous white flag in Paris, France.  Or a giant Red Sox emblem somewhere in the Bronx.

Bleh, who am I kidding?  I’ll probably just do the mature thing and draw giant swear words or phallic symbols in extremely inappropriate places.

HELLO, WORLD!

 

Greetings and salutations – if you have found yourself desperate enough to stumble your way to this hopeless abandon, congratulations! You have reached the end of the interwebs!  I am entirely unsure what compels you to read my musings, but regardless, fair warning is in order:  stop reading if you do not like exploring the darkest recesses of thoughts, interactions, opinions, and experiences of a highly cynical, miserable law student.

Enjoy the video – I found this 3 years ago and it still makes me laugh. Its level of authenticity is, well, disturbingly accurate.  Prior to submitting an application for law school, applicants should be required to watch this 47 times – minimum.  If you are someone who aspires to go to law school – watch this video and thank me later for the free advice.
