Friend: My favorite part of the pudding recipe is β€œyou can hit this with a shot of scotch or whiskey.”

I don’t take my extra hour of sleep every year. I save them up until I have enough for an extra day off from work.

The downtown delivery robots are gathering. I think they may be planning something.

I’m mostly an Appellee. I get to argue that someone is wrong about someone else being wrong, every day.

"Denk' an Dich und lass' ihn fliegen."

There’s wrong, there’s amusingly wrong, and there’s annoyingly wrong.

Right now I’m too annoyed at opposing counsel’s annoying wrongness to respond. I need to hit his brief with a stick.

I would include the first name in the unrelated Jones, and maybe drop a footnote the first time i cite In re John Jones, explaining that that’s what I’m doing.

(To the extent any of this (waves arms) matters any more.)
