I love the Dena
At our lovely apartment, the mailboxes are in a covered walkway in the front of one of the buildings. Yesterday, I went to check the mail and saw a very dirty man urinating on the wall opposite the mailboxes. While it did surprise me to see a guy peeing in public, I wasn’t going to let him stop me from getting my rejection letter. When I walked to the mailbox, he turned so that I wouldn’t be able to see his Wang Chung. He then yelled something at me in Spanish, so, after I saw that there was no mail, I walked away very briskly. I guess he was offended that I didn’t him the privacy he deserves when peeing on the walls of my apartment complex.
My mom, a former Spanish teacher, offered to teach me to say “how can you pee out of something so small,” but I figure I shouldn’t try that statement until I get a concealed handgun license.

Welcome to the 12(e) community. I know you have a choice of FRCP themed blogs, so thank you and enjoy your stay. I’m glad you could discover the site after the stimulating discussion of public urination.
In a purely technical sense, you aren’t one of my professors. I’m always happy to have more people visit the site (this brings the total visitors to four), especially one who is a fellow bluebook aficionado. This is, however, the realization of a constant though normally imaginary fear of all student bloggers: being discovered by The Man. I already knew of one professor who reads it, but I told him the address back in the beginning and don’t think he’ll find anything too offensive.
New professors finding this shouldn’t be much of a problem: I don’t say many things I don’t mind professors hearing. I don’t always say flattering things about my professors (two from Spring 2005 come to mind), but them finding the blog is a risk I assumed. Furthermore, I doubt that law professors will become regular readers as this isn’t a very good website. This will limit my potential discussion of exam answers after finals, so I’ll have to consider that later.
At least I won’t have to worry about being horribly misquoted by the Houston Chronicle. It sucks that they’ll probably bury the real quote in the unread corrections section.
Actually, Sam, you've been discovered by The Woman.
Heather: I'm attributing the general conspiracy to screw up my life to "The Man." This includes, regardless of gender, communists, the masons, socialists, the illuminati, the Teamsters and the Burger King guy. Hopefully the new law professor conspiracy is a wing of the primary conspiracy; I can't keep it straight in my head if there are multiple syndicates out to get me.
The wife pointed out that your comment was by "heather" and not your standard nom de guerre. I think you’re worried that The Man or The Woman or even The Hermaphrodite will discover the tom fooleries of your blog. Or you just didn't feel like logging in.
Lauren is quite astute. And you're correct. I've got all I can handle right now with the wackos that recently discovered my blog and feel they need to insult my intelligence.
this is exactly why i never use real names on my blog. maybe except for yours, but you don't count. you're not a professor or future employer, or more likely, future non-employer.
