Gchats between nerdy law students

My good friend Pete and I were gchatting today while I was trying to do research & he was sitting in his Federal Criminal Law class & we were both not actually working on the task at hand when we created this incredibly nerdy dialogue. I laughed out loud multiple times in a public place while Pete was unable to keep a poker face in class. The first part of the conversation dealt with a deal devised between Pete and I where I would make a huge bowl of frosting and he would have to take it to his federal crim law course and eat the whole bowl with a big spatula during class. Just shovel & slop it into his mouth. This is more of an "inside joke" between Pete & I (and Jim).

But then the conversation shifted into a little gchat gem. Pete mentioned how his professor's wedding ring looked like a super bowl ring. I said that it would be funny if it were a SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) ring that was given to him on account of deciding a landmark case. From there, nerdy legal hilarity ensued. This might not be funny to you, but it sure was funny to me!

Peter: that is ridiculous

bradley's wedding ring looks like a superbowl ring

1:41 PM varsity marriage squad

me: haha!!

1:43 PM are you sure it's not a superbowl ring? i bet it's a SCOTUS ring

Peter: haha

1:44 PM jim said rehnquist probably gave it to him

i think it's his birthstone

me: haha

1:47 PM what do you think a SCOTUS ring woudl say? i mean, if he clerked during a landmark case i bet they would make a ring similar to a super bowl ring, but w/ the case on it

like, ROE V. WADE CHAMPIONS

1:48 PM Peter: haha!

1:49 PM it would be awesome if the whole trying of the case was like a football game

with all the clerks drinking gatorade

and dumping the cooler of gatorade in stevens' face as soon as he finishes reading the opinion

1:50 PM me: hahaha!!!

Peter: everybody slapping each others' asses as they walk by and pushing each other's heads and stuff

1:51 PM me: haha

1:52 PM can you imagine the post game interviews?

w/ Queen's "we are the champions" playing

1:54 PM Peter: "i really think that for stevens, especially at his age, it was a matter of keeping his intensity level high, and he delivered. he was out there the whole case, just consistently bringing home argument after argument. it goes to show you how much he wanted it, and he did it baby, we did it, WOOOOOO!"

1:55 PM -Clarence Thomas

9 minutes

2:04 PM Peter: "I have just one word for you about what this case was all about, and that is DEFENSE, baby, because if there is one thing that Roe and her team can do, it is put memos on the desk, time and time again. We won today because we didn't back down under that pressure, we kept our intensity level high, and we wanted it, baby, WOOOO! WOOO! WOOOO!"

-Wade

2:05 PM me: wait...i have to catch up

2:06 PM HAHAHA!!

2:07 PM "I'll tell you one thing that I know is true. There would be no way that we could pull out this W if it weren't for you, the fans, filing your amicus briefs. This one's for you!"

-Wade

Peter: dude i am having a poker face MELTDOWN right now
