Spain plays in 4.5 hours. I am in Spain. Should be fun.

Ah, he was someone that you encountered in practice, and moved for sanctions against you as opposing counsel, not as an applicant for employment. I was imagining a scenario where an applicant threatened sanctions against as a result of the recruiting process.

the laughing judge was being "tickled" by all the campaign contributions he got from Pig's.

Yes, sorry about that. We had a case, he was an asshole and his clients were assholes. He filed a motion for sanctions (naming my client, my firm, me, and the now-transactional associate) claiming that the court ordered us to produce A, but that we produced B instead.* The judge scheduled a hearing, laughed at the assertion that we had violated her order, and the case eventually settled.

A few short months later, I got a letter and resume from the lawyer who filed the motion. I laughed, showed it to the traumatized associate (who was outraged), and passed it along to the recruiting people. Where it disappeared into a black hole when the recruiter saw that he graduated from an out of state law school.

*The details of the case are unique and therefore outable (because I still tell stories about it). So, I can't even tell you what discovery was at issue. Imagine the dispute between, say, the USFL and the NFL, and suppose there was a dispute over the discoverability of Herschel Walker's personal services contract with Donald Trump, as opposed to his footbal contract with the New Jersey Generals. Or like whether Windows copied the look and feel of Mac OS, and there was a spat over the alleged bar napkin that Bill Gates scribbled code on at Scores. Not that my case was anywhere near as big -- maybe -- as these two, but it definitely was unique. But I digress.

Spain v. France should be a great match. I may need to sneak down the street to the bar with the 95 inch HDTV (and $3 Bass during all World Cup games) this afternoon.

"Client meeting this afternoon."

Unfortunately, with no Essien, Ghana does not stand a chance.

how could you not produce the bar napkin? do you get motions for sanctions a lot?

So that´s where those German conscripts serving the English against us in the Revolutionary War went - Ghana. Makes sense.

If you want to stir up some shit among the Spanish fans, talk about his:

Spain's coach Luis Aragonés last night refused to apologise before this evening's second-round game against France in Hanover for racially abusing Thierry Henry in 2004, insisting rather bafflingly that he has "black, Gypsy and Japanese friends, including one whose job is to determine the sex of poultry".

Some of my best friends have jobs in which they determine the sex of poultry.

I don't know much about soccer, but I know what I like. And that was one smooth motherfucking goal.

Speaking of chicken and genitals, why did Morrison sing "I eat more chicken than any man ever seen" in Back Door Man? It doesn't taste like chicken at all.

I worked in a frozen poultry warehouse for a while. Summer job before college. They called me "the Lush," and used to sshrink wrap me to poles in the deep freezer (30 below). Fistfights for fun. Crazy supervisor used to come up and punch you in the face an run away. You'd have tio track him down amongst pallets of frozen food and do the same to him. I think he was mildly retarded.

That job still beat law.

Not sure why. That job sounds like some firms I know.

I did not see it, but here is what the NYT minute-by-minute blog dude had to say:

Ronaldo takes the all-time scoring crown from Der Bomber, the great Gerd Mueller, 60 years old now and one of the greatest strikers of all time. But Ronaldo, fat as he may be, has just become the most productive ever.

5 WHAT A MOVE BY RONLADO! THAT WAS SICK! He was sprung on a pass and beat the offside trap, barged in all alone on goalie Kingson, did a single stepover that had Kingson leaning to his left, then went the other way and slotted the ball ever so calmly into the empty net before the defender arrived! Ronaldo is now the all-time leading World Cup scorer!

5 GOAL RONALDO GOAL RONALDO GOAL RONALDO!!!!!

4 Ghana finally gain possession, breifly, but start a dangerous movement up the right. Draman’s cross, though, goes awry.

I prefer the more restrained style employed by The Guardian:

5 mins: Brazil 1-0 Ghana Oh dear. As the Ghanaian defence charges out to the half-way line in a misguided attempt to play offside, Kaka slips a fine ball through to Ronaldo, and the big-boned striker rounded the goalkeeper and slotted it home, becoming the most prolific goalscorer in World Cup history in the process. Hats off.

Hats off, indeed.
