“The criminal goes free, if he must, but it is the law that sets him free....”
– Mapp v. Ohio, 367 U.S. 643 (1961) (In response to Justice Cardozo’s worries about criminals “getting off on a technicality” in the debate over excluding evidence obtained during an illegal search and seizure).

Randomness
Oddest thing just happened. I’m sitting in Cafe Nation on Washington St. and an older man came in and walked around tables handing out cards. I took one and looked at it, while the man continued to hover at my shoulder. The card had basic sign language signs on the back, and though formally worded, was essentially a request for cash to help out a deaf mute. Once I realized this, I declined...

At a bridal shop...
Watching Amanda get fitted for her bridesmaids dress for her brother’s wedding. This whole process is rather hilarious and I feel bad for her. It’s also pouring rain outside, so boo that.

Cold War Era Playground Rockets →
So the third small image is the exact model that used to be in one of my favorite playground parks as a kid. They tore it out when it got too old, but serious nostalgia.

I Wanna Sue Somebody
As promised, funny stuff from the Law Revue show, from the minds of Katie and Conner and their writers, performed with the musical might of Youngstown Steel:
I Wanna Sue Somebody
Car strikes a pedestrian,
And breaks his pinky toe
He sees my add on a bus stop bench,
Ilama mi telephono
I’ll charge a contingent fee
And take 33 cents from every buck he sees
And when we settle,...
Law Revue Shenanigans
So last night was BC’s annual Law Revue show. This event serves as the schools moment to mock itself, its administrators, and anything else the writers feel like. All of us gathered in the theatre on main campus in anticipation of hilarity, and I have to say, the cast for the most part delivered. The boat cruise was seized by pirates, we learned that Dean Garvey’s perfect hair came...

The Holy Grail of Non-Trappist Belgian Ale
It is St. Bernardus Abt 12. I was first introduced to this beer in college by a fraternity brother and fellow beer aficionado, Allen. This is the beer equivalent of an iron fist in a velvet glove. 10%abv wrapped in epic flavor, with fruity flavors to complement its basic character as a brown ale. I’ve loved it since first taste, and the Publik House here in Boston has not helped my addiction...
From above the law: economic woes
“More numbers, statistics, and reasons to trade in your J.D. for a certificate of attendance in refrigerator repair after the jump. As tipster Artie Bucco might say: 2Ls are experiencing, nothing but constant ass rape. As a result, TaxProf Blog highlights the only obvious move: Not surprisingly, the offer acceptance rate also jumped. At 32.5%, it is the highest rate recorded since 2002.

Seeing each other
Talking about my friendship with A, M's boyfriend
M: Awww yay! You guys need to be friends again.
JD: Wait, we aren't friends now?
M: No, you know what I mean. Like, seeing each other
JD: Oh, you want me to be seeing your boyfriend do you? Now things are getting kinky... (said in cheesy German accent)
M: I hate you
JD: Of course you do
M: You know this right?
JD: yup yup

Pet Peeve: Starbucks Etiquette
So, I went to a very crowded Starbucks this morning and ordered my usual triple-grande latte. Nice and simple. I felt sorry for the poor barista, who was alone on the machine and clearly overworked. I get in line behind the other 5 people or so waiting around the bar. While I’m sitting there waiting, a rather large man in a business suit loudly orders the same thing I did, and walks over....
Last.fm, the RIAA, and the Leaked U2 Album →
I don’t know if anyone has been following the rumors about last.fm turning over user listening info to the RIAA that have been circulating all over the web, but last.fm has responded on their blog in epic form. They also link the Ars Technica article, which is another good piece on the issue.
Oscar Hilariousness
Anyone else think that Ben Stiller’s crazed Joaquin Phoenix impression was awesome and one of the highlights of the evening? Also, mad props to Duke basketball for their win over Wake. Go Devils!

Boredom
I really need to start using this more. In the meantime, however, I can relate a story my uncle related regarding the economy: two guys are sitting at a campgroun and get attacked by a bear. They jump up and one of them says “hell man, we can’t out run that bear”. The other responds “I don’t need to outrun that bear … I just need to outrun you” and takes...

Dearth of posts
Sorry about the lack of posting. I’m going to try to get back to updating this thing regularly from now on.
WatchThis is an Irish band that some friends and I saw on Friday night at a pub in Boston called Mr. Dooley’s. They were rocking out pretty hard at this point. You can’t really see because of how dark it was, but the music came through alright.

Advertising
I didn’t get a chance to snap a shot of it, but I just saw a bus stop bench advertising an adult literacy class. Big letters across the back screamed “learn to read!” followed by a phone number. I can’t help but think that their cry was falling on deaf ears as far as the target audience was concerned.
