Because tonight is like any other night

Oct 30, 2005

I would like to propose "legislate from the bench" as a euphemism for "take a crap".

Dinner give you some judicial activism last night?

Nothing like that. I was at a law school fancy dress party and there were a few guys dressed as judges with "judges gone wild" on the backs and "I legislate from the bench" on the fronts (of their robes). This circumstance put me in mind of my earlier euphemism idea, prompted initially by this proposal.

I also encountered a cute girl dressed as a member of Team Zissou, but managed to avoid talking to her. Mission accomplished!

You didn't ask her to take a ride in your helicopter?

My halloween costume to my law school halloween party was as a member of Team Zissou. I am not, however, a cute girl.

Just walk up to the girl while she's talking to some other guys, wait for the appropriate time to laugh and say, "ATM." Do it nonchalantly, like you're adding to the joke. When they look at you and ask, "huh?" say, "At the Mineshaft." Allow for a few moments of uncomfortable silence. Then finish off with, "it's a reference to a gay bar. Everything's funnier when it happens in gay bars."

In the same vein, i'd like to propose "moral relativism" as a euphemism for "fantastic boobies".

I saw competing Team Zissou squads at each of the Halloween parties I went to. Still haven't met anyone who liked that movie.

I thought it was ok, if a bit of a retread.

I liked it, though not the fake lizards.

I especially liked Willem Defoe and his small child, in lederhosen.

at the halloween party I attended, there was a group of frenchmen dressed as the seven dwarves, except they used their frenchy names, such as "wise" instead of "doc." There was a female snow white, and a male snow white. They all performed a conga dance, singing the "ole, ole, ole" soccer chant, and inserting "homo-sex" periodically.

I very much wanted to be them.

I see that the email addresses you've provided are "I@eatpoo.com" and "eat@mypoo.com". Are you trying to tell us something?

that I don't always enjoy going through the effort of fabricating e-mail addresses in order to post my inciteful comments.

And also I eat my own poo, and invite others to do the same.

how could I have written "inciteful" on wolfson's own blog? I am a self-destructive text.

Your comment was inciteful, though; specifically, it incited me to think scornfully of you.

It's all I've ever known, so I couldn't really say.

"Inciteful" is always a happy misspelling.

I quite literally LOLed (laughed out loud) at the suggestion in the main body of this post. Now if you'll excuse me, I simply must legislate from the bench.

Yeah, that's seriously hilarious. I think I'll use it to horrify my girlfriend when she gets back.

I'd like to also propose "dropping off a couple of indictments." If only the two could work together somehow!
