Actually, it was an end-around way to find out what kind of resources provide authority in ltl's field.

It's pretty much alien to my practice history, and you never know when you might want to know something like that.

Alas, no mention of LFB, who must have been her role model.

As a Californian, I can say this is not the strangest thing I've ever seen, but it makes me smile to remember it:

And so it came to pass that Atticus was wandering the aisles of Whole Foods, it having been entrusted unto him by his tribe to obtain organic Mozzarella di Bufala. And lo!, he beheld two fully shorn Buddhist nuns, in the saffron robes it was their custom to wear in those times, together pushing a shopping cart, walking side by side in silence, each with two hands on the handlebar of the shopping cart. And Atticus furtively followed them up Aisle 1, down Aisle 2, and so on, until they reached the checkout counter.

And lo!, their cart was empty. For this, they paid nothing, as is right and meet.

Whatever the opposite of ironic is, this is it.

Edited because I got reamed for hyphenating a compound adjective. As is right and meet.

from The Smoking Gun --

SEPTEMBER 22--The owners of a $4.5 million Malibu estate are suing the producers of "The Bachelor," claiming that their place was trashed during the month they rented the property to Warner Bros. for the filming of the reality TV show's new season, which debuts Wednesday. According to the below Los Angeles Superior Court complaint, lawyer Kenneth Chyten and his wife this summer rented their Malibu home--which they've dubbed Oceanview Manor--to "The Bachelor" for $45,000. The Chytens claim that when the cast and crew vacated the two-acre spread, they left behind holes in the walls, a rodent and poisonous spider infestation, discarded feminine hygiene products, and other assorted damage and debris. The couple is seeking $5 million in damages.

Query how their damages could be $5 million, when the entire estate (read "house" in Malibu) is only worth $4.5 million.

Serves em right for being stupid enough to rent from a lawyer...

Did they not understand that, by agreeing to host a reality TV show on their property, they assumed the risk that cast-off douchebags would linger because they had no better place to go?

Well, it's good to see that the patella is in working form.

Pity, though. I expected Big Ideas.

They were blessing the food*. Not sure why they did it with a cart. A Buddhist monk used to walk through my local organic-type supermarket regularly and do the same thing.

*actually, blessing the food is not really correct. I think what they were doing was extending loving-kindness towards the food and meditating on it, but I think it amounts to the same thing.

The impossibility of renting the house again, because of the helicopters that annoyed and vexed teh neighbors?

The emotional distress caused to the wife who is pregnant, with twins? (mentioned at least 6 times in the pleading).

Sebby, how would you shuck and jive on this one?

Wife Reckless? Hubby Morose? Blame the Cat

"PRAGUE (Reuters) - Kicking the cat may be a metaphor about venting frustrations on the innocent family feline, but could it be that Snowball really is to blame?

Czech scientist Jaroslav Flegr of Charles University in Prague told Reuters his research showed a parasite called toxoplasma gondii in cats, rabbits or raw meat, may make women reckless and friendly while making men jealous and morose.

Just contracting the bug might not be life-threatening but infected women behind the wheel can be fatal, and those out for a stroll in busy traffic may be a hazard, he said.

"It is not much fun. Our research has shown that toxoplasmosis raises 2.6 times the risk of a traffic accident by prolonging the reaction time of infected people," he said.

. . . .

Flegr said his research shows men infected by the bug tend to be quiet, withdrawn, suspicious, jealous and dogmatic. He said he could not find a reason for the different reactions.

The illness could be responsible for up to one million of deaths on the roads worldwide, making it the one of the deadliest parasitic diseases, second only to malaria, he said. "
