Dear Law Students, it's pronounced "Whale"

It has come to my attention that this blog has been discovered by some of my classmates. Welcome law students. In order to make this humble blog more inviting, here are a few recent law school references:



On how Aboriginal rights are defined: "Chief Bob ran into Whitey last week. Now we're stuck."

On the problems with the decision in Peter v. Beblow: "This decision is like the episode of South Park with the underpants gnomes. . . . Step 1: Detrimental reliance, Step 2. Question mark, Step 3. Unjust Enrichment."

On buying professors drinks: "So Stephanie, what goes into a Pornstar?"

As well, it has come to my attention that I have offended Ian, a class mate of mine. Apparently, Ian did not want his drunken identity to be left anonymous when I wrote this post. (I guess that should be no surprise, since he has spent more hours in Scholars over the last 3 weekdays than he spent in class in the last three weeks combined.) To make it up to him, Ian asked that I tell a story about him so that he could google himself and find something interesting.


Yesterday, Ian was playing pool. Off of the break, the other team didn't sink anything, so on her turn, Ian's partner sank a solid. The other team sunk a stripe or two, and then it was Ian's turn. He looked at the table. He decided on a shot, lined it up and sank the 8-ball. He then tried to continue playing because, after all, the 8-ball is a non-striped ball, therefore it must have been a solid. Fastest game of pool ever.

To those that understand both instances where "it's pronounced whale" applies, you can comparison shop for full length mirrors here or here.
