Friday's Plan: Suggestions?
On Friday, I will be speaking to about 100 local lawyers at the County Bar Meeting. I'm still nailing down my topic-- I vaguely remember promising something about sentencing or pandas, or perhaps modern dance. I have listed some possibilities below, and invite suggestions:
1) Sentencing Apocalypse!
2) Cereal Choices for Practicing Attorneys
3) Pandas: Cherubic friends, or China's Secret Satans?
4) The Book of Leviticus (interpretive dance)
5) What Every Lawyer Should Know About Larry Bates
6) The Franking Privilege
7) Disturbing Crime Photos
8) Theme from "A Summer Place" (performed on trumpet)
9) A Visit From Successive Petition Panda (see illustration)

I vote for Successive Petition Panda.
"When one incarcerated panda files multiple petitions raising the same grievance, forcing another panda to respond to them, that makes me a sad panda."
Because it does. I understand that people in jail do not exactly have a day full of activities (6:00 a.m. -- wake. 8:00 a.m. -- get stabbed. 12:00 p.m. -- arts and crafts. 3:00 p.m. -- more stabbing), I assume that at some point the jailhouse lawyers have to read Art. 11.07. I routinely quote portions of it for them in my responses, and even mail them out. I'll have to start highlighting it.

Lane--
Successive petition panda is quite effective at explaining the tragedy of successive habeas petitions. That $58 I spent on a panda suit was the best money I ever sent. Of course, now that John Brennan has graduated, I need to find someone else to wear it!

If I weren't on pins and needles about a potential writ of mandamus being granted in a capital murder case, I'd drive to Waco to wear it. Humiliating myself to bring humor to others is my superpower.
Number 4 performed by number nine (with you in the suit) to the accompaniment of number 8 would be my choice. And I want an invitation. You could make a fortune selling tickets, with enough advance notice.

I'd like to see your interpretive dance of some of the more...draconian rules in Leviticus. I vote that one.
Whoa, I thought that was part of my job as your assistant...
I'll be back at the start of next week so I'll be available to humiliate myself for the education of others.
I can't believe that isn't part of my job... #$@%, now I have to re-do my resume. UGH!

Cereal choices, definitely. I have many many thoughts I would be willing to share in a Q&A. Although the Bates lecture has merit, I'd call in sick to attend that.
Since I graduated I was watching TV.
Since I was watching TV I was watching PBS before they take it away from me *tears*.
Since I watched PBS I saw the piece they did on Mink.
Since I watched the piece on Mink I now feel that you should some how work her life's story into your speech.
Other than that I am available for panda suit wearing.
