a penny for your thoughts?

wow.

so, not only does no one care about pennies anymore, but now pennies cost more than a penny apiece to make.

the stupid. it burns. even if the price of zinc goes back down, it's destined to fluctuate again...and people still won't care much about pennies. nostalgia is not a legitimate reason to keep a coin in circulation.

brilliant!

why my crim law study aid rocks, part 2

one of the examples that it gives in the quiz on attempts reads:

"Irving Brilliant fancies himself as a legal scholar. While lacking formal training, he watches "People's Court" faithfully, and buys every alcoholic beverage endorsed by famous trial lawyers."

amusing: fancying oneself a legal scholar by watching people's court.

even more amusing: trial lawyers endorsing alcoholic beverages. maybe i'll endorse some yummy drink when i'm a famous trial lawyer...boulevard wheat or jagermeister or something.

the real coup de grace: naming the guy after the harvard-educated son-in-law in Surowitz v. Hilton Hotels.

everybody's doing it (or, by everybody, i mean chris and katie.)

nicky, nicky, the midwest/midatlantic whore...

the oozinator.

super soaker has jumped the shark, or whatever the toymaking equivalent of jumping the shark may be.

they have a watergun called the oozinator. it can shoot water, or it can shoot a substance they call "bio-ooze." bio-ooze is white, sticky, and comes out in spurts, like a certain, shall we say, biologically produced substance.

that's probably disturbing enough, but the ad just takes the cake. the concept is bad, the concept in action--especially with kids shooting each other with the gun, makes me want to keel over and die.
