Thumbs up to SBA for another great Barristers’ Ball. ANG had always dreamt of a party that seamlessly incorporated bongo drums, bottomless trays of meatballs, and gambling, and this weekend you made ANG’s dream come true.
Thumbs down, however, to the bars at Barristers’ for closing early. ANG could not help but stuff ANG’s pockets full of meatballs before leaving for Buddhist. Fry’s Spring Beach Club, you have one serious dry cleaning bill to take care of.
Thumbs down to the Moot Court Board for not Shepardizing the second round problem. It’s not a big deal that the Supreme Court already decided this problem 8-1. Somewhere Ruthie Buck is crying.
Thumbs down to the Law School’s wiring system, which turned on the fire alarms after the power went out briefly during the ice storm on Tuesday. ANG was sleeping in Kraus Reading Room at the time and was perfectly happy with the power outage. Then, BAM! The alarm clock from hell.
Thumbs down to students who hit cars in the school parking lot and try to get away without leaving a note. ANG is technically only a law student, but ANG is pretty sure that doing that would be considered “illegal” or, alternatively, “a crime.”
Thumbs up to the LexisNexis chocolate fountain. Prediction: Westlaw will respond by turning Hunton & Williams Hall into a flowing caramel river teeming with Everlasting Gobstoppers and ice cream that never melts.
K. Kordana: “I don’t rely on the tort system to keep me from getting run down by a car—I rely on nimbleness.”
D. Leslie: “I wish they had a button that said ‘Hahaha, I didn’t vote!’”
T. Nachbar: “I think it’s pretty clear that this semester is just going to be a series of disappointments.”
S. Smith: [discussing being a judge at a mock trial] “Then you hear ‘Objection, your honor.’ You say, ‘Approach,’ which means you have no idea what’s going on.”
D. Leslie: “I’m so aggressive today—my wife has made me cut down on my martinis.”
Student: “Do you have a good definition of ‘intercourse?’”
T. Nachbar: [pause] “I have a lot of definitions of intercourse.”
B. Cushman: “Instead of each child taking a fifth, they take a tenth. If each one wants his own fifth… It’s not close enough to the weekend to say that.”
M. Collins: “I promised you last week I would post an answer to our hypothetical. I have not yet violated this promise, although I have also not yet posted it either.”
D. Leslie: “In Africa, do they still give out condoms? Here I am, a kid from Des Moines, Iowa, I don’t even know what they look like, and I go on safari and I can just get ’em by the armful. [points to student typing feverishly] Don’t you do it!”
