nevermind I'm going to fail

An actual question from my compilation of pre-test Law questions. I died a little. Okay, a lot. Emphasis mine.
Kryptonian law dictates that no Kryptonian citizen may do or say anything that will potentially lead to the compromising of another Kryptonian citizen's freedom of speech, action, etcetera, and that the punishment for such an act is one ( Read more... )

ROFLING WITH YOU.

Is it not grand? I think it is grand.

BTW, do we need any more details to upload the fic? Er, apart from a title? XD How's the account?

miraba January 26 2009, 18:18:45 UTC

Once we have a title and a summary, I can come up with a disclaimer and upload the story.

Had the account go to your e-mail, so you'll need to activate it.

miarr January 27 2009, 13:17:24 UTC

Activated! So now just a title, huh.

...damn. This is the hard part. *hunkers down*

Kal and Lex in Jerusalem, a new dark comedy slash courtroom drama directed by Woody Allen?

miarr January 26 2009, 06:58:39 UTC

Unlike some of his previous films-just got back with my mum from watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona, what epic fail-that number sounds like something I'd definitely go out of my way to see.

Neil Gaiman once said that Jerusalem would be the ideal place to set a ghost story; something reminiscent of Neverwhere's serial run on TV, except more Jewish and occult. I agree with him, but upon reading your comment, I reconsidered: what if it wasn't so much ghosts as... paranormal extraterrestrials, kicking ass and taking names and (if you know Lex) taking a piss from atop the Western Wall? BY JOVE, YOU CAN SMELL THE EMMY FIFTY MILES AWAY.

Dear Krypton, yes. I don't even know what he's about these days. I have been consistently horrified since Cassandra's Dream, though admittedly the only Woody films I really like are Manhattan, Annie Hall, and Mighty Aphrodite. This millennium has not been kind.

Cross out courtroom drama and replace it with supernatural crime thriller then. Forget the small fries, baby, and let's take this thing to the big screen. Critics everywhere will be talking about the infamous Western Wall golden shower scene.

the infamous Western Wall golden shower scene.

Oh, so on top of it being a clever mystery crime thriller with supernatural overtones semi-plagiarizing the work of one of the biggest comic publishing houses this side of the Atlantic, we're going to add taboo sexual practices and explicit, probably abusive portrayals of homosexuality?

I like the way you think. ♥ The Banff Festival won't even know what hit it.

LOL!

That is brilliant!

I suddenly feel the need to study law if there are random gems like that involved!

miarr January 26 2009, 07:02:36 UTC

Ahaha, I wish it was puppies and sunshine like this all the time, but facts are, this question is probably my only consolation against the fact I'm going to fail this test worse than Hector in the Trojan War. Possibly with more humiliation. And it's TODAY. :D THIS IS MY PANICKY FACE.

girlshy January 26 2009, 07:08:34 UTC

LOL at Hector (oh, I love the 21st century and the fact that I can type a sentence like that).

But seriously, good luck! It must be totally daunting so I salute you completely! Hang in there!

miarr January 27 2009, 15:18:15 UTC

OH MY GOD I DID IT

I DID EEEEEETTT

My lecturers are like, the biggest dorks ever. We've got questions chock-full with rape cases where the participants are siblings named Amnon and Tamar; freedom of speech disputes wherein one Saul sues one David; inheritance problems with twelve sons named after the Hebrew tribes, etc. Mostly there are gregarious Biblical references, or in-jokes about the Israeli society, but this was so bizarrely pop-culture I had to post about it. Besides, my DC radar just exploded from glee. :D ( ... )

Oh, dude, Law > Math, totally. I think I wrote a fic about that, even.

...typing that last sentence, I could feel my geekiness rising upwards like a tide during monsoon season. Fuck yeah, I'm totally gonna level up soon. \o/

Our lecturers are totally badass. Well, for lawyers, anyway. Except for the one who teaches procedural jurisdiction, his lessons are like watching paint dry, if paint were a lanky middle-aged balding lawyer wearing ill-fitting trousers and a crooked tie. Our (equivalent of a) TA, however, is this totally hot college student: stubble-jawed, blue-eyed, with extra religion baggage for guaranteed fun times (i.e. he wears a kippah). And he always wears these high-riding shorts and thin cargo pants... where was I? Oh, yes, what I meant to say was that our staff is very diverse, but in the end it all balances up nicely. :D

INORIIIIIITE

If I could only figure out which one of my ubergeek professors actually wrote it and then LATCH ONTO THEM like some dreadful fannish venereal disease and force them to churn out more hilarious questions, and also possibly turn them into fic. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

MAAAAAN I WANT TO I WANT TO SO BAD.

Lacking that, probably I'll resort to writing it myself. D: God, I'm so easy. Eaten alive by RL, but easy. Stop me, Elyse, you and I both know that THIS WAY LIES TROUBLE.
