More 8th amendment violations on the westpark tollway

A neon sign that flashes random colors at you... What's next? 
Ads for carriers with a car coming at you? No, I got it... have the sign pop out of the road on the outside of a curve and flash a super bright strobe light and 220 dB sonic blast,,,
... And instead of an E-Z pass, make it so drivers have to wear a hat with a "drinky bird" that pokes you in the eye, leaks, and asks you about the rule against perpetuities... Yeah! 

(note: Originally the T9 on my cell phone made the last word "Wei?" Which, is also pretty funny.

What is the opposite of stolen hub caps?

This. Apparently some erstwhile hoodlum saw the sorry condition of my car and decided that my straights were more dire.

Grey Ostrich Complex Figure

I was doing too many inside jokes about law, so I thought I would do an inside joke about Cognitive Neurolinguistics. Does anyone remember my riff about "Applied Optefalouptics?" This is like that. What a great phrase! That ranks up there with "Somebody do something" and "Mary, sue Sue!"

Although I have ocassionally preferred not to explain inside jokes, I think I will go the other route by explaing the joke, not really giving any explanation at all and making fun of myself for doing that.

So the joke was: when I became a grown-up with an office of my very own, I planned to have a picture of the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure hung up and framed on the wall with the rest of my art. If anyone asked me about it, I'd "Go ahead and draw it, then I'll tell you where the tumor is" but then the TV show "House" came made being Mr. "Hi! I'm a person who can rudely deduce that you are going to die based on seemingly unconnected symptoms that are actually connected after all" seem a whole lot less funny.

Dark Bovine Globe (outside the Houston Grand Plaza)

Art cowOh metal cow.
How have you lost your horn?
Do you mourn?
Can you feel?
No. you are not real.
Like Rose 2d,
mentioned obliquely
in BarBri,
but discussed at length by Prof. Dow.
That's how
you lost your horn.
Now its gone.
And if you could:
Wouldn't you miss it at all?

Countdown to Cake

The University of Arizona has set-up this web-page to inform the world about their leadership of the very cool Phoenix Lander Mars Mission. My favorite part is that there will be childrens activity, cake and ballons.

Yay ballons!

Hot dog, my spicy

Sriracha not catsup, ketchup, or catch up. And, yes, I took this photo up-side down. I am a ninja.

Hot dog, my babies

Like a fever dream... A giant hot dog appeared and the children were mesmerized. Then the giant hot disappeared into the glare of the setting sun. Maybe he went to go hector motorists, or maybe he was merely a figment of a voracious appetite for a larger than life figure. As he went, Dakota cried out, "bye, giant hot dog. You still look tasty!"

But I cant ever think of a time when I've seen one in a home.

My predicition for the commencement address tomorrow:

Congratulations class of 2008. It's time to party like its um... 1999? The future will be different than today. For example, you will be older. But in many ways, things will stay the same. For example, if you were a smoker before law school, I bet that hasn't changed any. That's because these were classes about the law. The class on how to quit smoking is available through Leisure Learning, or maybe through your local community center. But that's not important now. What's important now is that it's a hot day here in Houston and you are all baking in your black velvet robes and funny looking hats. That's awesome. Way to sweat it out. It's like a metaphor for law school, see? Ha ha ha ha ha! (wiping tear away from eye) Anyhow, good luck on the bar because if you don't pass, all this stuff you did here is meaningless.

Is it ziz, Ziz?

Is it ziz, ziz?
What it is, Iz, is "iz."

My Lyrics to "Indiana Jones and the Cyrstall Skull"

His name's Indi - ana Jones
And this Movie
is not
"Home
a
lone"
It's much better
than that trash
directed by Chris'pher Columbus
A hack

First of all:
Archeology
is a cool
topic ofamovie

And the star
is Han Solo too

And I think Karen Allen is still pretty cute
And I buy Shia LeBoef as good casting too
Although George Lucas is grown fat and old, I think this movie francise is pure gold

Don't you?

And so INDY v UFOs
MORK and MINDY
ARE THE EVIL FOES
AND THEN CINDY
BRADY TOO
ITH THO THERIOUTHLY EXCITED BY THITH FOURTH INDY MOVIE THAT YOU GOTTA GO AND SEE IT TODAY!

NOT TODAY!
IT'S NOT OUT
TILL
LA

TER

IN


MAY!!!!!
