Eloquence

Men and Women of the Trojan Cloth,

It being USC v. UCLA week, I must remind everyone of a little eloquent quote by "cha boy" Lendale White:

"UCLA sucks. It’s the worst school you could ever go to if you were a football player. You got to make your choice. If you want to get dominated by your crosstown rival, where they can come on your campus and take your girlfriends and stuff, then you make that decision. If Maurice Jones-Drew is listening to this somewhere ... your team sucks." -- LenDale White

P.S. Thanksgiving Post coming Soon

Buying a Whole Bar Drinks

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Admittedly, The Law's Law has hit a writer's block this past week. After a little siesta and a little trip to Newport the writer's block is over. This is due to the fact that The Law's Law was inspired to write about a little thing called: Buying a Whole Bar Drinks.

Now admittedly the writer's block was broken due to a BBM from Sir Darkness saying that a dude just bought all of Shellback a Bud Heavy. For the 70 people at Shellback tonight, I am ecstatic that you witnessed one of the finest things that a man can do.

Now many of you do not know the history behind this.

Once upon a time in Brussels, Belgium, The Law's Law was on a vacation in Europe and went to a random bar. Now the first night was rather calm, Sir Zeth tipped over a mini motorcycle but that is just a normal thing that happens in the life of people that are cool. We went back the next night to an AC Milan v. Liverpool match (I think, correct me if I am wrong) and AC Milan ended up winning to the tune of many drinks. Instead of being a normal person this guy decided to buy the whole bar a shot of Jack (USA) and a beer. Boom. This would also be the Brussels trip that the Mayor of some random town in Swiss country introduced us to Snuff. Best time ever.

Now today a certain person bought the whole bar a Bud Heavy at Shell. This is Bro King status. I do not who you are, but anytime a person buys a whole bar drinks it gains my respect. It not only says "Hey I like to have a great time", but it also says, "Hey, get on my level."

Buying a whole bar drinks is very related to having a bar / restaurant serve after closing time. The Law's Law experienced that this weekend in the Newps. Bar was closed and I said no you are not. Viva La 20 bucks and Viva La Beers. Done and Done (Woody's on the Dock, was a pretty sweet bar actually).

Thanksgiving is going to be amazing. I will speak about a thing I call Le Thanksgiving Grenades in another post.

Beat The Bruins,

The Law's Law

P.S. Oh Manningham!

WGA, DGA, SAG

Ladies and Gentlemen,

After going to all of the Guilds today...

The Law's Law wants to go on a rant. Not a a long one, but a pithy one: Viva La Boom.

Party in the USC,

The Law's Law

P.S. CaboOOHHHHH

P.P.S. It

P.P.P.S. Get some Chelsea Hightower.

Post Thanksgiving Finals Quote

Howdy,

As many of you know, The Law's Law does happen to be in law school.

Law School has brutal finals. Not nearly as brutal as Sir Phd's Finals, but they are difficult.

A quote to live by came on tonight whilst I was watching 24/7. It is quite pithy to life in general:

"They measure a boxing match by how many rounds it goes, just as they measure a man's life by how many years he lives. But in both cases, of course, those measurements tell only part of the story. Far more interesting is a closer examination of the small handful of moments that really matter. Amid the infinite beats of time, there are instances that change everything for someone. Split seconds, that serve as lasting barriers between before, and after. In these flashes, years of mastery can be callously obliterated. The fates of millions can be at once senselessly devastated. […] They strive for lasting legacies, ultimately earned on impulse. They train for months on end, to prepare for battles that can be decided by a single blow. They enter the ring searching for victory, times’ secret collection of vicious beats." -24/7

Boomage,

The Law's Law

P.S. Sweet.

P.P.S. Chelsea Hightower.

Bye Week

Readers,

The Law's Law would first like to give his most sincere apologies to his followers for not posting in a while. A weekend filled with Navy Grogs and a Final on Tuesday (today) kept this duder's hands full.

Keeping with the tradition of The Law's Law's brother blogs by adding an intellectual spirit to the blogs, today's Negotiation final encompassed re-negotiating a real estate deal that had an implied covenant for the lessee to continue operating as a business. Very interesting stuff and Your's Truly had way too much fun toying with his opponent.

Couple of points from the past weekend:

1) One should never drink 8 Navy Grogs in a 12 hour period. Those things may be small, but wow do they have a bite.

2) Bandwagon fans can exit to the stage right. I will be in rare form to Beat the Power Blue Lameage from Westweird.

3) My war with technology continues, somehow after this weekend I am now BBM friends with myself and cannot delete myself. Looks like a trip to my local cell store is inevitable (they already hate me for having to replace 3 trackballs this past month on my BB).

4) Unbeknowst to some, I paid $20 dollars and told a cab to "just drive." For any of you that saw the movie Michael Clayton, I was inspired by the very end of the movie (except he gave $100 and I only gave $20). However, all the cab did was pick The Law's Law up from Shellback, made a circle to Sepulveda and back, then dropped me back off at Shellback. The phrase "Full Circle" could have not been more poignant at that point.

5) Viva La Boom to Shellback.

Hope everyone has a great Bye Week, will definitely post by Thursday.

Sincerely,

The Law's Law

P.S. Welcome to Madame Doodler of the House of Bau Bau. You followage is greatly appreciated.

P.P.S. Congratulations to Sir Master and Snow-mander for creating a blog at http://thegospelaccordingtoko.blogspot.com/. One of these days we ALL are going to look back on our blogging years and say, what were we thinking by allowing this guy to go on the internet.

P.P.P.S. I could not agree more with domhateanimals.blogspot.com in saying that Iguana's really are too confident in themselves. I think Sir Creature would really hate Hummingbirds though. I look forward to a post.

Smooth Talking

Grogglers,

First, The Law's Law would like to congratualte Sir LastStand on the formation of yet another Blog entitled "Pay the Price" that can be found at: www.brentweird.blogspot.com. I already love the gambling content and the spread of the H1Nblog virus around LA.

As I sit her hashing out the details of a Broadway theatre financing deal (spelled theatre on purpose, Oxford style), The Law's Law decided he wanted to rant on those that go out, and those that do not. These things became readily apparent tonight in my Negotiations class on two separate situations.

Little background on this: The Law's Law has been known to enjoy Social Gatherings. Now, not only do these Social Gatherings give one the opportunity to meet new people and enjoy new experiences, but they are also primetime for getting wild, crazy, and just enjoy life in general. Bottom Line: those that like to stay in libraries and be lame, enjoy your life of solitude. C is for CEO and D's get Degrees (thank you Sir C-Money for that quote)

Now, back to the reasons this came up:

First, my first Negotiation was with a notable Law Babe that would actually fly at USC. However, according to various sources this Law Babe is an extremely aggressive negotiator. Last week for our midterm she apparently became "abusive" (quote from the professor) during her negotiation with Steve (actual name) and flipped. Now I have told many of my followers about how enjoyable my previous negotiation was with this exact Law Babe. It was pleasant, enjoyable, successful, and she even sent me an post email with many pleasantries and emoticons. Bottom Line: Smooth talking went a long way on this one. If The Law's Law had not been himself, I could have been abused like poor poor Steve.

Second, I found out today that my Professor works for two of my friends' mother's firm (they are twin sisters and the mother started it on her own to make it the largest ADR firm in CA). Apparently my Prof also found out and asked me if I knew the Twin Madames and I assured her I did. I have been to Madame Twins' house on multiple occasions because these twins always opened up their home to partying whilst The Law's Law was in training Sophomore and Junior years of High School. I frequented the homely home and had some of my most memorable times their. Now here is a funny story from my Professor's Bosses home in West-weird: I was doing big things in the kitchen (i.e. Shots, Shots, Shots...AWESOME SONG CLICK HERE), and all of a sudden, boom time. It all came up on The Law's Law all over the kitchen. Feeling bad I tried to clean up but The Law's Law was just spinning. The twins' Mom came in and was completely elated to meet The Law's Law and went on to say that I was a gent amongst men. True Story.

Anyways, point being is that The Law's Law loves meeting people and being in social situations. No matter how embarrassing something might seem at the moment, there is always a way to leverage it and make it a great story later.

Shots,

The Law's Law

P.S. I gotta get on these Navy Grogs, The Law's Law has cleared his Thursday, Friday, and Saturday for an adventure.

P.P.S. The Law's Law's technology problems continue. To this minute I am waiting for some to confirm that they can open a docx file. Honestly Microsoft (and Law Group), can you please make it easier for people without the latest version of Office to open docx files. Granted, I am having a good time and opened a nice bottle of French wine while watching Austin Powers, but come on. Let The Law's Law get some sleep once in a while.

Groggles

Letters to the Editor: Monday morning around 10am PST (1p EST): "i've already puked twice today, i wanna leave so bad." I think we all know what disaster of an associate of The Law's Law this came from on this Monday morning (the East Coast Standard time is a major hint).

I digress...

As The Law's Law digs his heels deeper into the month of November, he is still shocked that he has not had / first heard last week of the magical drink call the Navy Grog. Now unfortunately a little exam called the MPRE prevented this from occurring on Thursday or Friday and certain situations (i.e. being at the wrong bar) prevented this from happening on Saturday, but The Law's Law is thrilled to become one with this magical concoction come this weekend.

So far this drink has had some big talk. Friday morning the feedback came and it was as if every associate of The Law's Law got hit by a freight train. The reviews ran from "death" to "awesome" to "man I cannot wait to drink it again." It was almost like everyone got a case of the Stockholm Syndrome with this drink. Apparently one only needs two of these to have the time of their life which only make me think of Tonga Room Hurricanes.

The Law's Law was presented an opportunity to sample the Navy Grog on Sunday by Sir Creature, but that would have forced him to only have one. The Law's Law wants to go all in on his first experience with the Navy Grog. The Law's Law does not do things only 50%...go 100% all-in all of the time (which could be a major reason The Law's Law is so terrible at Poker). Therefore, this weekend will be the first tasting by Yours Truly. I will establish a minimum drink limit by the end of the week (will probably be around 4 - 5 from all accounts).

Homecoming week is on tap. Do not mention the inappropriate time the game was set for (12:30p) as this will only work up The Law's Law. Beat the Cardinal or as Sir Fratellis would say, "Arrrrggg give me my booty!!!"

Party in the USA,

The Law's Law

Tim Floyd

Vivas,

The Law's Law does not usually get emotional about many things. However, there is one thing that has affected him more than anything in his life, and that is: the resignation of Sir Coach Tim Floyd.

The Law's Law has finally seen the writing on the wall. As basketball season commenses, I realize that I will not see that awesome Coach Floyd be as rad as he usually is on the sidelines.

Let me talk about Sir Coach TIm Floyd. This southern gent (CLICK HERE FOR PROOF) came to USC with a vision in mind. USC was not even on the national radar when he came. That is all beside the point, because when Tim Floyd comes to the game, he comes to WIN.

No offense to Sir Pete, but I have not seen a Coach so into the game as Sir Coach Tim Floyd. Therefore, my Top 5 Coach Floyd Moments are:

5) Coach at Morongo Casino breaking up a fight. This had to make it as it is awesome that he is at Club Morongo. My hope is that he is in the Southern California area to come to USC and get his job back. Maybe this will help: Tim being Tim.

4) Coach throwing his ripped up card at the referee then getting Ejected. Wow. I was shocked and amazed at this showing of absolute unrivaled madness. Here's Tim Going Off.

3) Coach yelling during the USC v. UT game while I was on a cruise ship. We won the game and number two pick Durant went whimpering into the NBA hearing the ringing in his head from Tim Floyd's amazing vociferous and unparalleled insults.

2) Coach beating UCLA, many times. When Sir Floyd started we were a team that played at the Sports Arena. We drove our beach cruisers down after having a few shots at New / North no matter who we were playing. Little did we know that Sir Floyd would come up with a scheme to take down those powder and blue pansies from Lame-Wood. Therefore, thank you Coach for making my college experience. Ya Tim.

1) The Jacket Throw Off at EVERY GAME: We have all seen it, but some just do not realize it. To you amateurs, Tim Floyd throws off his jacket (which is usually made of a fine woolen material) at the first point of the game that he gets furious. There is no need to really explain this more except for this: Coach Tim Floyd says what he means, and means what he says. If no one is listening, he will make sure you start listening or else prepare yourself for a barrage of physical, mental, and psychological pain.

As you all can tell, Sir Floyd has had a big affect in my life. He is an inspiration for all and we all miss him no matter what the media says. From The Law's Law's perspective, he is Innocent Until Proven Guilty.

Cheers to Tim and to all those that enjoy Winning.

Congratulations Tim, you are the Honorary Chairman Emeritus of The Law's Law's Blog.

With my utmost respect,

The Law's Law

P.S. For those that want some more Tim Floyd footage, boom!

P.P.S. "I am going to stand up for my players and I am going to stand up for this game." In other words: Act on what you believe in and fight on for what you believe in and love. Stand up. Action. Boom. Fight On. AND BEAT ASU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.P.P.S. Love Tim's +1 / -1 system. It works on multiple things in life. "Did it look like I relayed that convention?" Take that smackdown media, we just Coach.

BB / Tonga Room Updates

BB Update: So my continual fight with my updated Blackberry's alarm system continues. For those that do not remember, I updated the software and this caused my alarm to not go off (well, it actually went off on the screen it just did not go off in terms of sound). So, thinking I could outsmart the thing instead of turning it on quiet like normal I turned it on loud before going to sleep. Of course this caused me to wake up to BBMs at 6:02am (I hate you Sir Zeth), which is what I feared but I figured I would just chalk it up as a battle scar. The 9a hour rolls along and the same thing happend: no alarm sound. I then proceeded to go on some BB blogs during class and OF COURSE the solution, like the solution to all other BB problems (like the previous BBM alphabetical problem) is to take the battery out. I have tested it by setting the alarm for 11:58p, and like magic, the alarm works even when on silent.

My war with technologies continues. Hopefully I will get a good night's sleep now that I can put my BB on silent without worrying whether the alarm will go off at the desired hour.

Tonga Update: Does anyone (Sir Darkness?) know if the Tonga Room is actually closing as was detailed in a February article in some random SF newspaper article? I tried looking for this online but nothing comes up (have big graduation plans for the place in May, the tab should be able to cover for relocation expenses). However, I did find a PETITION to keep the Tonga Room open. There are some great comments on the site so if you're feeling a little down today, just read a few. One of my favorites: "I had one of the best nights of my life here. I traveled from the UK especially to visit this legendary place. Please recognise your history!" Now that is dedication.

Sayounara,

The Law's Law

P.S. Great response today from my G-chat status that was an actual Sir Sno-mander quote. For those not on the aforementioned messenger, his quote was: "Dude, i am averaging 400 bucks a weekend spent in nyc."

Homecoming

Le Booms,

As The Law's Law sits here sipping on some Bordeaux hammering out a paper summarizing the statutory implications of the WGA MBA (Writer's Guild of America's Minimum Basic Agreement) on Residuals (compensation writers get for TV syndication, radio, etc. etc. etc.) while watching 24/7 Pacquiao v. Cotto on HBO, I got FIRED UP.

I just found out via email that Homecoming is scheduled for 12:30p. Now, I do not know how rank amateurs work, but this is upsetting, unconscionable (second time I have used that word in 3 weeks), and just absolutely embarassing, Homecoming is a time for fun, not for people to wake up early and get their how-do-you-do's and "How about that Particle Accelerator in Geneva" in.

Homecoming is where The Law's Law sat in the back of a pickup truck Frosh year en route to The Quad while taking a keg stand. Homecoming is where Sir Sno-mander did not make it to the game because he was busy getting taken back home to 28th street. Homecoming is where people streak through Leavy Library and the people actually studying wonder why there are so many "different" people present. Homecoming is where Trojan Grounds gets bought out of Gatorade because the tent ran out of stuff to mix Popov with so we used the Associates' Trojan Plans to clean out the place.

Bottom line is...Homecoming is something you do not take away from The Law's Law. Therefore, Your's Truly will be there at 6am, having fun.

Join me for the Referendum.

First, let's Beat the Sun Devils

Fired Up,

The Law's Law

P.S. Today in the Law a professor cited the answer to a question as, "Sometimes the best Justice is served by flipping a coin." I responded, "So it is like picking Black or Red on Roulette?" His response, "Yep, I can always count on you for a gambling reference to the Law." Sweet.

Best Nights of the Week to Drink

The Law's Law has had a very busy week this week (Negotiation, Statutory analysis, MPRE exam, HATE). However, I have been quite jealous of these Top 5 lists coming up on the brother blogs. Therefore, I would like everyone to take a gander at this site:

The Best Nights of the Week to Get Piss Drunk

OR (just in case my Hyperlink does not work, The Law's Law hates technology and still thinks the internet is just a passing fad):

http://deadspin.com/5393650/the-best-night-of-the-week-to-get-piss-drunk

This blogger is genius. Couple of things I like about the article:

1) The first YouTube video is one of The Darkness (although clearly The Law's Law's favorite Darkness song is "I Believe in a Thing Called Love")

2) The first type of alcohol mentioned is a certain Bum Wine called "Thunderbird."

3) The Sunday Night description could not more aptly describe the lives of the members of Room 213 in college.

There are many more reasons, but let me just say that this blogger is a true friend of The Law's Law.

Enjoy,

The Law's Law

P.S. Forgot to post a Blue Ribbon Award Winner. This week's is sort of a post-humous winner because it is both for the Weekender and Halloween weekend, so congratulations Madame Carlson. Not only was your performance at the Weekender top notch, but you telling Christian (for you amateurs he is the Shellback's Bartender) that "he needs to get laid" was priceless. Congratulations.

Oh The Weather Outside is Frightening

Boomers,

In sum, Friday started out in usual fashion with some Sun & Moon and Shellback action. We also gave Beaches a large chance to get our business. The only real business that really occurred there was taking shots of Rumple Mintz (one of The Law's Law's favorite holiday shots). This peppermint schnapps (sp?) delight used to cost about 8 bucks for a bottle AND a shot glass (that had a bottle opener on the bottle of the glass). The point of this being I guess that you can have a shot and a beer (aka Bat / Ball or Seasaw at the LAX airport bar).

Saturday evening was obviously "interesting." Without talking about the obvious disaster of a collegial competition, a couple of key stories came out. 1) For whatever reason, whenever we shotgunned beers at the House of Lords the game got better. 2) Some of the Trick or Treaters that come around MB are out of control. In addition to a 14 year old girl asking us for a beer (dressed as a promiscuous cat and then dropping an F bomb when we refused to give her a beer because we thought it was a sting operation), another 12 year old kid was dressed as a heroin addict (complete with a turkey baster "needle").

After the non-game, the crew went up the street for some pre-party / post-game action. Fantastic times were had. It is a little embarrassing when asked "What year did you graduate?" The Law's Law's response: 2007. Girl's response: 1999. Whoops. Of course The Law's Law also once again met a person that he had a full-on conversation within previous weeks but completely did not remember the conversation / person / name. Whoops again. (Sir Zeth - exact same situation as in SF). For more information on the night please take a gander at http://dirtydigz.blogspot.com/

After one doozy of a Rocktober and terrible close out, The Law's Law must remain optimistic because life could be worse. As many of you know, the Holiday season has arrived. Tis the season for Christmas music, Classy Christmas Parties, and overall awesomeness. More on the activities of November in the next posting.

Over and Out,

The Law's Law

P.S. The Law's Law recently updated his BB (took 3 hours on Friday morning). Well worth it, I suggest everyone update their software. One bone to pick: usually before going to sleep I put the BB on silent but even on silent, the alarm still goes off. Apparently now when on silent it also puts the alarm on silent. Not cool as The Law's Law barely made it to class on time this morning.

P.P.S. Second best thing (which I just learned today) is that on the new BBM when you get a new contact it ACTUALLY goes in alphabetical order AUTOMATICALLY. Taking out the battery to make this happen was a huge pet peeve of The Law's Law.
