Potential client today asked me about my philosophy for trying cases. This was after a long discussion about teamwork, so I couldn’t use my standard “one riot, one ranger” line. So I went to my backup line — “My approach to trying cases? I’ve come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubble gum.” They didn’t get it. I then had to explain that the line came from a movie and then had to explain the plot of the movie and then had to explain who Rowdy Roddy Piper was. I don’t have a good feeling about landing this case.

That client is beneath you. Or else he’s already reporting you to them.
Fun fact: the hand museum where I work has a bronze casting of Andre’s hands. Just the hands are imposing.

Yes! Maybe I should post about it? I don’t think I have before. But this is the time of year.

Wait, what?!?! You work at a hand museum? You can’t just casually throw out a sentence like that and not explain!

On the plus side, I would instantly hire a lawyer that said that line to me.

Well, the hospital has this display off the atrium. A prominent hand surgeon made busts of famous people’s hands. You wouldn’t believe who is represented there: astronauts, artists, politicians, Nobel prize winners, athletes...
Yeah, I’ll do a complete write up with pics when I get back to work.

I think maybe he didn’t mind paying for two seats.
Edit: damn, 520 lbs. That’s like, three 173 lb dudes.

Good advice. I’ll use that language in my civil practice exam if they ask a question like that.
