Actually I watched Boise get outplayed by my Louisiana Tech Bulldogs for a good bit of the game last season, before finally losing.<br /><br />Seriously, Louisiana Tech. Not LSU, Louisiana Tech! I'm a huge Tiger fan, but attended Tech, so I keep up with sports over yonder. I think y'all can take 'em. They are not as good as they think they are. I certainly hope y'all stomp 'em, and put the Boise "waaa, waaa, waaa" biniss to bed for this season."Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369193113416393945.post-46391702462158648422010-09-24T11:20:24.627-07:002010-09-24T11:20:24.627-07:00Special request from Andy<a href="http://innominatus87.blogspot.com/2010/07/heres-that-ringtone.html" rel="nofollow">Special request from Andy</a>innominatushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08365636738022339985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369193113416393945.post-56365560970180517112010-09-24T10:54:20.690-07:002010-09-24T10:54:20.690-07:00Hey Inno!

Since I was at the time unemployed, ten bucks a day and a free lunch seemed like a pretty good deal. Plus I got to ponder the great questions of the day, like: Who is more despicable, the bleary-eyed stoner or the coke-sniffin' DA?<br /><br />Anyway, on the last case I engaged in a clear-cut act of nullification and voted for acquittal. After the foreman delivered our verdict, they <i>polled the jury</i>. (I thought they only did that to Herefords.)<br /><br />Coincidence or not, I have never been asked to sit on a jury since.Gordon R.

Another good way of getting off is when the lawyer asks you if you could objectively judge the guilt or innocence of his client just say "who, that guilty son-of-a-bitch over there?"<br /><br />As for bubble gum being made illegal.

Both attorneys had the slowest, twangiest Southeast Texas drawl you've ever heard. SO nasal-twangy were they that even <i><b>I</b></i> could hardly stand it. And each one of them, especially for the plaintiff, repeated every question at <i>least</i> 3 times, for "clarity", worded slightly different. <br /><br />I am so excited that you might get picked, that if I were to find out what court, what judge, etc., I might call with a glowing recommendation that you be the foreman of the jury! Then I'd come to Oreo-gone and watch, and maybe sell popcorn. <br /><br />Please get picked!aAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781609606261382365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369193113416393945.post-18440591260814769532010-09-20T17:51:37.173-07:002010-09-20T17:51:37.173-07:00I get called to jury duty about once a year. I don...I get called to jury duty about once a year. I don't usually try to weasel out, but I think I set a precedent here in Arizona. During the jury selection for a case involving a convict accusing a prison guard opening his mail, I said something to the effect that I trusted the law enforcement officers testimony more than the criminal(I know shocking!) I was not selected for jury duty. Since then, every time I've gone for jury duty, they've asked whether you trust the testimony of a law enforcement officer more than someone else when I don't remember ever being asked that question. If you say yes, you will not be selected.Javelina Bombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687900358779769236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5369193113416393945.post-51537854101619295412010-09-20T16:27:06.137-07:002010-09-20T16:27:06.137-07:00Nice call on the jury nullification thing.

Adventures in Civic Service!<br /><br /><i>When trying to get excused from jury duty, being a little screwy and out-of-touch is an asset.</i> Actually, in my experience, being a little screwy and out-of-touch is an asset, if not a prerequisite, to being <i>seated</i> on a jury panel!<br /><br />I've sat on a couple of criminal juries, but <i>always</i> get bounced off of civil ones.<br /><br />Jury duty in Louisiana is something else. (I still haven't figured out that HTML tag thingy to do a link, so if you want to see my experience in the Orleans Parish courthouse, cut and paste this: http://moogiep.blogspot.com/search/label/Jury%20Duty ).<br /><br />(Glad I checked that tag before I posted the link -- there was a post in there that had absolutely nothing to do with jury duty. Or with most anything at all. Just that guy who's living in the White House.)<br /><br />Go for the tee shirt! I saw people in our jury "lounge" wearing pajama bottoms.<br /><br />I hope you get picked! That could make for some pretty entertaining posts!Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.com
