What if Baylor Law had a glowing plasma ball?


In the comments to the last post, I found this intriguing, yet anonymous, post:

I never quite got the glowing ball thing that Padme gave to the Gungans at the end of Phantom Menace. But I also didn't get Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech. So let's turn things around: would it have been better if Bush had given the al-Sahwa Sunnies a plasma ball in 2003? Or would it have made sense for Padme to have announced aboard a J-type 327 Nubian royal starship that her mission had been accomplished thanks to the victory over the Trade Federation's droid army? I'm afraid we'll never know.


Which raises the question... what if Baylor Law (say, in the office of Heather Creed) had a glowing plasma ball? How would we use it? I would imagine it could have magical fund-raising properties.

Comments:
I think a disco ball in the law library for high school prom night parties would probably be a better fit. The library sits unused in the wee hours of the morning anyway. With the cost of Baylor tuition these days, we need to be systematically exploring the best use of our existing resources AND the best way to exploit them, financially.

Can we get a Panda? One way to get one would be to present the Chinese with a glowing plasma ball.
 
Professors could take it to class and it would light up whenever a student was obviously BSing or didn't read that day's assignment.
 
I'd like to see it paraded about like in the movie. It'd be pretty entertaining to see the professors marching through the halls of the law school, Gungan-style.
 
Osler, In my humble opinion, this Star Wars stuff is worse than when the French seized control of The Razor....

However, I will try to offer some insight. I am with ANON 4:06 for the Disco Ball in the library. Why not use the space in two ways.. All you need is a good DJ and maybe some strobe lights and a fog machine and you guys would make a fortune... make sure you get at least a $5 cover and a percentage of the bar though. And don't let them play any BLUES. No one can dance to BLUES,and the songs are all really sad. They are all about being broke and poor and sad and alone, and completely depressing. Music like this is not good to dance to, no girls will come, and then you'll be in the same predicament as most of Bill's customers: owning a whole lot of guitars and no girlfriend, which makes you have the blues even more.

HOWEVER there could be a loophole here: Perhaps a lot of law Students are under so much stress that they are pretty broke, tired from studying and sad that all they do is study anyway... in which case a Blues Club might be the perfect venue for them. They might find a way to dance to the Blues.... But then there would be no need for the Disco Ball or fog machine.
 
BLS is a blues club, only without the music.
 
QH already has one; it's just hidden under one of her many ceremonial headpieces depicting a small fuzzy dog in a bee suit.

The orb itself houses the souls of those who chose St. Mary's instead. Think of it as a plasmic cracker jack box.
 
Don't give it to the Chinese! Keep it so the pandas cam bat it around
 
We must find a way to harness its power to create a death ray to aim at UT and SMU until US News and World Report caves to our demands.
 
I think Guinn already has one that he keeps stored under the podium lectern attachment. It's been in his family for generations and has graciously brought it to BLS.
 
The LINE OF THE DAY is brought to you by - anonymous 5:09.
"BLS is a blues club, only without the music."
