You are a rule of civil procedure! Take this quiz to find out which one.

My results:

YOU ARE 28 UNITED STATES CODE SECTION 1332! You are not a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure at all: you're the statute that allows the federal district courts to hear diversity of citizenship actions! You were drafted with the idea that an out-of-state party may be unduly prejudiced by appearing in a foreign state. People think that you're strange, and they try to minimalize your effects by requiring an amount in controversy and by being especially strict on the requirements for diversity. However, like that weird kid that nobody likes, you always show up to the party. Section 1332 is bizarre enough, it is even more bizarre that it provides an apt metaphor for your personality.

I don't get the hood reference. What in the hell does peach or pink or whatever have to do with the hood? Explain please.

Only Larry David can provide the proper context to make Wanda Syke's annoying voice somewhat funny. Bravo Larry. And the phone call to Schwimmer's dad was classic.

I'm guessing you haven't seen her stand up, then. She's hilarious.

You know I meant it as a compliment.

Yes, of course I do. That would be why I was teasing you back.


This time, really, Sheesh. Or whiff. Or whatever.

Ask nfh. I'd be interested to know her explanation since I'm pretty sure she's never even set foot in "the hood."

I thought pink was over now that Banana Republic did pink.

Orange is the new pink. Pink open toed shoes are still in, though.

Orange is also over, however, because it has been written up in the NYT as the new pink. So pink may be back in as the new orange now. Or, go with sky blue, yellow, lavender, lime green and/or tuquoise/aqua, which seemed to be the other bright colors around for spring/summer.

I thought SATC had a pretty good ending, but Carrie has annoyed me somewhat recently for reasons I can't quite put my finger on, and so I was sort of annoyed

to have Big sweep in to, effectively, rescue her consequence free from the cock-up she'd made of her life (which, of course, wasn't her fault at all, nooo, emphasized by the fact that she was sooo gracious in telling MB that it wasn't his fault - did I note that her character has annoyed me a bit recently?).

I agree. She's my favorite female comedian. She made my face hurt in that bit she does about going to the strip club - I wish I could remember these things verbatim.

Thurgreed and I would like you to explain to us what you meant by a wedding in the hood? I didn't get connection between the color and a wedding in the hood, whatever that means. We'd sincerely like it explained to us, N(ot)F(from)H(ood).

Thanks.

Interesting. Whenever Bush appears on my tv, my reaction is physical as I TUAOM. Do you have a physical reaction when Bush says he wants to change the constitution to keep gays as far away from marriage as possible?

Cf. "ralphing."

I haven't. In fact I've seen a very small sample of her work, so I was probably basing my opinion on the fact that all female comedians are unfunny (except for Sarah Silverman). Funny or not, her voice is fucking annoying. Speaking of Sarah, she should tell her boyfriend to step down and let Adam Corolla take his place. I watched the show for the first week and never watched again. I hate agreeing with the Sport's Guy, but Carolla is a comedic genius.

My results:

YOU ARE RULE 11!

You were designed to make sure that attorneys in federal cases make reasonable inquiries into fact or law before submitting pleadings, motions, or other papers. You were a real hardass in 1983, when you snuffed out all legal creativity from federal proceedings and embarassed well-meaning but overzealous attorneys. You loosened up a bit in 1993, when you began allowing plaintiffs to make allegations in their complaints that are likely to have evidentiary support after discovery, and when you allowed a 21 day period for the erring attorney to withdraw the errant motion. Sure, you keep everything running on the up and up, but it's clear that things would be a lot more fun without you around.

Bummer.

It's funny you should say that, because I was going to write "Is sheesh the new whiff?" but I didn't want to write whiff.

And now you've made me write it twice. Damn it. Damn it all to hell!

The rest of the Board and I would like you to explain to us what the point of this post is? I didn't get the connection between this post and the concept of amusement. We'd sincerely like you to explain it to us.

YOU ARE RULE 12(b)!

While you might be a defendant's best friend, you aren't exactly polite to others. You have seven separate grounds on which to dismiss a plaintiff's case. You are a bit paranoid, since if you fail to raise your 12(b)(2,3,4, or 7) in a motion or a pleading with one of the other 12(b) defenses or a 12(e) motion, you waive those objections for the rest of trial. It is clear that 12(b) is the biggest bully of the rules of the civil procedure. While it is true that many states have modeled their motions to dismiss off of rule 12(b), are you sure that you truly want to model your personality after such an obnoxious rule?


Edited to remove all the unsuccessful hotmeal-like crap.

Shorts a little tight today, RP?

I mean, if you're gonna respond to leagle's "I know you were just kidding, and I was just kidding you" post, you can't really claim to have standards.
