By last count, we were roughly 25 votes out of first place in the ABA competition. Twenty-five votes stand between us and ever-lasting glory. Who among us can now claim that we have done enough when we are mocked from across the Internet?
It is clear that there are pockets of untapped votes that are waiting to be harvested. There are cousins once removed and step nieces. They are not really proxies but people yearning to establish this special tie with you. To assist you, I have enclosed a family map:
The ABA competition is also a good time to renew relationships with former boyfriends and girlfriends, so long as the breakup was amicable and would not offer another opportunity to degrade you. Then there are your family doctors, newspaper delivery kids, and baristas. Have you taken every opportunity to solicit votes? It is a small matter during that proctology exam to mention between coughs that there is an interesting competition going on over at the ABA site.
Last week, Buddha is Laughing’s selection of Henry V was selected to inspire the troops. This week I had to go with Vince’s selection of Bluto. Just as we didn’t quit when the “Germans bombed Pearl Harbor,” we cannot afford to quit now — not unless you want your kids growing up speaking Satyricon:
Thank you Professor; no consultation necessary though, it’s about the cause, not the glory. Well, not ALL about the glory.
FFLEO,
Good point. We are all made in god’s image, meaning we would get three votes each, one per partite of our nature.
#160
Has there been any other generation of bloggers? I would encourage others to vote, but as a 1L evening student, I know no others. This much you proved in the week of “fall break.”
The theory exam was quite fun.
Thanks East and I am glad you enjoyed the legal theory exam.

The inspirational movie montage was absolutely great! I’ll never be able to take another Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech seriously.
Inspiration from the rediculous to the sublime and vice-versa:

We are down to 20 away.
Wow, Lottakatz, we will have to consult with a team of international judges as to whether a montage of inspirational speeches can compete against single film nominations. Either way this is great, however.
Look, we keep a lot of govt. trolls in business on this blog! Do you want to keep your job or not? Vote for this blog to make certain it stays active at least one more year and you get to haunt it for a living! Trolls, come out from under the bridge and vote.
Professor Turley et al.
One of the main reasons for your blawg is to provide examples to your law students regarding the practical—and often bizarre—aspects of the law, principally torts. Why not beat ‘The Legal Satyricon’ at his own game? Mr. Randazza wrote an article about how a law school education was a joke—paraphrastically speaking—because law classes did not provide enough practical examples of the law. Your blawg does that for your students—in fact, you could throw in a couple of how to filled-in-the-blank dispositions, Quit Claim Deeds, et cetera, and some legal writs to round out the T-Blawg educational series.
Why, even us outhouse pro se attorneys might learn a bit about lawyerin’. No problem regards competition with your recent 3L grads, ‘cause we aint smart ‘nough to pass even the online Orly Taitzian-type law diploma mills and then surmount the ‘must-be-easy-or-corrupt CA bar exam, as she done.
Hey, Sidarth et al. my IQ’s ‘bout <1/2 of yourn’ on a good day, so you Turley law students/grads/faculty otta’ be able to conjur up some fliers and spread the news GWL/GWU Intra-Internet-wide to vote for Prof Turley. Surely, they aint that many L’s who he give a bad grade—without just cause—nur flunked outrite.
Regardless, I will still visit Legal Satyricon and listen to Lawyer-to-Lawyer whilst vistin’ this, my favorite Blawg amongst many goodins’ within the ABA Journal.
FFLEO, amongst your humblest T-Blawg fodder in the interest of futherin’ the legal professhin’s understandin’ of the common man v. common law in a not so commonsense 21st Century world.
Vote count is now 158…just doing my part!
Damn it Turley, if you win this thing you’d better thank us in your next appearance on Olbermann.
If Bluto can’t get your blood boiling, you are dead already. Prof. Turley, I think your grades idea could be the idea to get us over the top. Maybe you can tie to the old “extra credit” theory of grading!
Fight on, Turleyites–for we are/will be the champions!

Rah Rah Ree!
Kick ’em in the knee!
Rah Rah Rass
Kick ’em in the other knee!
We shall fight them on the beaches.
We shall fight them on the landing places.
We shall fight them on the streets and in the hills.
We shall never surrender.
Those with blogs could create a Vote Turley thread.
This is Knute Rockne speaking!
Come on Turley bloggers.
Go, go, go!
Fight, fight, fight!
Surely, the GW Law students/faculty and the GWU campus could all vote for the T-Blawg. That should be a 1000 votes or more even if less than 0.04 voted.
Indeed, FFLEO, you have found my own lack of effort. I have considered directly tying the grades of my students to voting but the administration takes a dim view of such threats. Instead, I have turned to threatening their pets in anonymous messaging.
Alas, I can’t take credit for Henry V, that was Buddha I think. I am more a “Lord of The Rings” aficionado. Here’s my small contribution — “This day we fight.”:
BIL, my apologies. Henry V was indeed your successful video selection. We thank you, sir.
