My plan was to repost this as soon as I saw that former disco diva (and the guy who brought Roller Derby to Pittsburgh) Dan Hull posted it at What About Paris? I swear. And then the sun got in my eyes, there was a hole in my racket, I’m just big boned.
Then Judge Carton posted it at Legal Blog Watch, which is about as humiliating as it gets. The only positive was that it came after some pointlessly negative nonsense from a few curmudgeons who never seem to have anything nice to say, sufficiently putting off most readers who are seeking a joyful experience rather than a stroll down memory lane to the days of having to walk to the telly to change the channel or adjust vertical hold.
Aside: Does anyone under 45 have a clue what this refers to? Show of hands. That’s what I thought.
Even my close, personal pal Dan Markel at PrawfBlawg had the good sense to notice it, though the risk of actually embedding it might have subjected him to painful shunning at the Feminist Law Prof mud wrestling and monster truck rally.
And here I was, absolutely planning to post it as soon as possible, only to find myself in the unenviable position of caboose. But I’m tough. I can take your harsh, unrelenting criticism of my delay, my worthless procrastination, my being the last in a long line of thought leaders. Go ahead. Ridicule me. Abuse me. I deserve it.
Yes, I stand here humiliated before you. But posting this makes me happy. And really, isn’t that what it’s all about?

I watched SNL last week for the first time in over a year, and thought of your teacups when I saw this. Remember, the only reason you deserve harsh, unrelenting criticism, ridicule and abuse for your procrastination is because you’re old enough to know that vertical hold is not a position in the Kama Sutra. If you were younger, YOU COULD DO ANYTHING!!!
If I’m up late enough to watch SNL, something is very wrong, so I depend on the kindness of strangers to let me know if something good happens. Fortunately, it’s not often.
The LSU law website lists among the things you can do with a law degree that you can be a member of the Dutch royal family.
I don’t recall seeing the House Orange-Nassau recruiters at OCI though.
Maybe they were too high and got lost? It can happen sometimes.
Your FLP comment is in poor taste and not necessary. I read your blog because I value your insights, particularly in the area of legal ethics issues.Please don’t diminish your credibility with gratuitous statements.
I plan to write many more gratuitous statements that are both in bad taste and unnecessary. You won’t like them at all and they will diminish my credibility in your delicate eyes. Stop reading this blog immediately.
Gee, a response like that makes one wonder if instead of the real-deal trench attorney you are really just a tenured law professor somewhere – at one of the elites, of course.
See what happens when I’m nice? I’m mistaken for some Ivy grunt. No good deed goes unpunished.
