Never Give A Sucker An Even Break!



Well I sure hope everyone is watching that great PBS documentary series on comedy in America, Make 'Em Laugh, which was on again last night. If you want insight into the anti-authoritarian, mostly Jewish outsider perspective that motivates us to make a lawyer or judge joke on this crappy blog every so often, take a look at this well-produced anthology.

Too bad Richard Cohen's op-ed in today's Miami Herald makes me feel quite certain this guy is no yiddisher cup.

In other news, Michael Hanzman files a lawsuit and the defendant offers $1.7 billion to settle on the very same day.

And it still doesn't look like it's enough.

Business as usual, I guess.

Talk to you all later!

Richard Cohen, a man who thinks Stephen Colbert is unfunny.

"Talk to you later"

Where exactly are you heading off to, SFL?

BTW- Great documentary!

Make' Em Laugh-- all PBS needed was to show Hanzmans' picture.

7:45- I'm in the dark, where did SFL go?

I know your diet has spice but does it lack salt, SFL? If so I offer you this--

Well, its 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho
I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I'll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right.

What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?.
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
For there ain't no shame.

9 o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home
It sure was grand
When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again

What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Well there ain't no shame
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?

"Business as usual"

-Yeah, the "movie" business.

8:30- newbie, I don't know what to tell you.

SFL - I hope when you said "talk to you later," you meant after the "go drink with the judges thanks to the Dade County Bar Association" Reception.

Hard to make money for the Princess if you can't woo the judges.

8:56, good song choice given the recent news.

11:29, can't disagree with that. It's the cash bar that complicates matters....

SFL are you already out of here?

It’s a tad peculiar SFL about Rump and his 3d DCA Posts, openly flirting with the Colombian on his twitter page and now I see his little music player. I’m surprised he hasn’t added Madonna or Duran Duran to his play list. {He’s trying to move in on your girl}

South Florida Lawyers said...

9:36, Rump's got my back and I his -- he's ok by me and can do what he wants with my blessing.

honest lawyer said...

SFL, that is confidence my man!

anonymous-lovers-for-the-princess said...

11:52- I'm not newbie -- although you may presume I am after reading this question -- Rumpy has your blessing to flirt with the Princess?

Anonymous said...

SFL doesn't seem too worried.

dylan-ranters-for-the-princess said...

Her twitter updates are protected. I don't think she's allowing anyone not even Rump although he does seems persistent, to twitter with her.

Anonymous said...

12:59, I agree. Rump's full of it on this one and SFL does not seem to care about it from what I can tell.

dylan-ranters-for-the-princess said...

SFL leaves clever insinuations about himself and the Princess leaving us guessing-- yes or no? Rumpole on the other hand is making it public knowledge. I doubt she finds it anything but flattering. Can you fault the princess for keeping her updates protected and not wanting to twitter with anyone? {I don't think you have anything to worry about, SFL. Rump-ass doesn't stand a chance}

IMHO Sir Rump has spurned-suitor disease. SFL is enjoying calvados and turtlenecks by a warm fire with someone he is about to 'mutually satisfy.' I think it's pretty clear the lucky bastard.

bandbliquer-lovers-for-the-princess said...

5:41- Public knowledge? Try public humiliation. The way I see it he’s baiting her.
Some may hold "Sir" Rumpole in high regard. I don’t.

sfls'-blog-rocks! said...

8:30- Good G-d someone turn on the light switch in newbie.

5:51- "Hard to make money for the Princess if you can't woo the judges"

How else do you suppose SFL can afford to buy the Princess "pearls?"

SFL Fan said...

6:11, "spurned-suitor disease"
Perfect choice of words.

5:17, I suppose I need to be a male to understand the fascination some of you have with the Princess but I would give the Princess some credit. {Based on her entries} she seems smart enough to know when she is being baited and smart enough to know not to be lured.

holy-hail-sfl!!! said...

My general impression 12:45 she’s a hard core shopping junkie. I get what you’re saying-- beneath all her girlie-ness deep inside she’s a smart cookie.

holy-hail-sfl!!! said...

BTW 5:41 raises an interesting question. Yes or no, SFL ?

SFL Fan's analysis seems correct. Princess happens!

SFL Fan said...

4:56- I give credit where credit is due.
