Want more gorjus? Then hop over to my Law School and order up a handy-dandy subscription! For this fall’s volume will bear my Cheeto-stained fingerprints.

In preparation for publication, I’ve been struggling to revise my Note, Walk Before They Make Us Run: Republican Party of Minnesota v. White and the Need for Judicial Reform in Mississippi.

Yeah, I named it after the song. I plan on sending one to Keith when it’s published—or to his lawyers. It’s not a particularly long paper by most standards—in fact, at 203 footnotes, it’s just about average. I’m just getting that right-before-publishing-fear of what if everybody thinks this is garbage?

I don’t mind it when I’m writing about music for some local rag, but legal writing follows you forever. You’ll look in a directory of federal judges and they’ll splash their citations all over the page—stuff written decades before, in some cases. So, you know, I’ve been kind of messing with it.

Other than that, I had a nice break by hitting the flea market with Wes & KC, where I snagged a couple of Schlitz glasses and a Search for Spock glass. Ooh! Plus, a Burger King class with the Burger King on it! “I love magic and food,” says the clearly-insane, and now deposed, “king.” And I got a fab Playboy Club ashtray for only three bux!!

Then more Note. Back to more Bluebooking!

update: i want to disclose something to all of you. i have decided to create a new fanclub, bulldog ‘68. “what?” you say, “has bush finally driven him over the age?”

no, mississippi state football has. despite a college that can somehow be so nerdy & esoteric that they’d study what kind of grass looks best in a cemetary, we are “0-3 for the first time since 1968, when the Bulldogs went 0-8-2.”

yes, an amazing season, that. we not only did not win one goddamn game, we managed to tie in two of them. stunning. and this year we don’t look so much better.

so i am now a member of bulldog 1968. what do we want from life? three things: first, jackie sherrill’s head on a cowbell. secondly, joe lee dunn to come home. third?

third, we want to not duplicate the failures of ‘68. we want winning seasons and a bowl game. i’m not saying sugar, or orange, or even liberty—just something that’s not in shreveport, for god’s sake.

this is our mission. we must not fail. our methods?

dammit. i forgot: we have no methods. i peeked at the end of the story. we lose. we lose the rest of our lives, and i begin pretend that i really went to usm, who joins the acc and begins to dominate southern football.

or something. god, i’m delirious. but five interceptions will do that to a boy.
