Lawyering At The Edge Of Civilization

George to some, Hasselback to most and Hass to those that know me best. I'm following the path of the setting sun and moving west, steadily. Keep in mind, this blog is intended for my friends and family who are familiar with my skewed sense of humor. If you're a stranger and don't like what you read and/or see, keep it to yourself because frankly, I believe in saying what you think and there's nothing you can do about it. To those of you with a sense of humor, enjoy and email me anytime.

Finally, some closure...

OK, for those of you that have been worrying...they've disclosed her name.

Finally, I know who to avoid...

This just keeps getting better...

Lest I find myself in hot water making comments about this, I'll just let those involved in this simmering tale of jurisprudential witchcraft speak for themselves...

Bizarre to say the least, don't you think?

Funny, I never learned this in Trial Advocacy Class...

Well, the saga of the attempted "black magicing" of one of the Commonwealth's Judges continues here.

You know, I never considered using this technique at trial before. I mean, hell, what does your local voodoo practitioner charge for this type of service?

Jury consultants can run you quite a bit of money, so I can only surmise that attempting to impose sympathy on the part of the judge through paranormal means is really going to hurt the ol' wallet.

But when the man has you standing tall, what's a few more bucks...

I'm going to wake up with a third nipple...

Wow, I never thought that I'd have to worry about THIS while practicing law...

I've already begun to take countermeasures, and have enlisted the help of a professional.

I figured what the hell, only $20 to stave off the potential of being cursed with even more body hair was well worth the investment.

Oh, and for those of you that are lawyerly, what do you think this lady could be charged with? Attempted cursing? Possibly misdemeanor "black powdering" of a public officials workplace? What?

It boggles the mind...

Don't tell any of my relatives down south...

Here and I thought I'd be a bit more "dixie."

Sheeit.

Farewell to the land of Wa

OK ladies and gents, in less than ten days, I'm leaving Tokyo to start things over in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Needless to say, I couldn't be more excited.

I'm going to get some of my own pics up as soon as I hit the beach down there, but this should keep you all interested for the time being.

If anyone has any requests, let me know.

You'll never believe where I'm moving now...

Ok, to all those that have stopped checking my blog, I don't blame you.

To those that still do, god people, you need to get outside more.

Anyway, some updates for ya'll.

I landed a job at a law firm on a tropical island. No, I'm not kidding. Here's a picture of one of the beaches.



These are the guys that I'm going to be lawyering for.

I'm starting the second week in May, so check CNN round that time for any press coverage...

I'm going to try a new picture hosting site that should facillitate some more images, so keep your fingers crossed for new entries.
