Jury Duty

[zallia]

Well, I know I'm PMSing when I start tearing up while local newsman Tom Joles tells us how lucky we are to live in a country where we get the right to a trial and it's a priveledge that I was chosen to do so.

Of course, the solemness quickly turned to laughter when he had to go into the history of how we got a court system including HILARIOUS reenactments of people getting killed in lieu of trials including the guy getting his feet bound to a small rock and then "thrown" into the shallow end of the Rio Grande. It was so hard not to laugh in the middle of that courtroom. Good times, good times.

But it sounds like this isn't going to be the schedule nightmare I thought it was. Probably only called to 4-8 juries during the whole time and they only last a day. I just have to let them know when I'm not available and it seems like it'll be cool. Mom's talking about driving to Arizona in May so I wasn't sure how that would work out, if it doesn't fall through.

AND I got a kickass pink skull bandana at the staff meeting today, which went nicely with my pink penguin shirt. So I had to start representing for my new gang, The Piratical Penguins.

Piratical Penguins!
Slidin' on ice!
Piratical Penguins!
Lookin' real nice!
Piratical Penguins!
Wearing our tuxes!
Piratical Penguins!
Driving a Lexus!!

Awwww, yeah!!

Well, I needed a theme rap and that was the best I could do at 8 in the morning. ;P

lol Nice. Actually, I don't mind serving, I want to try it at least once before I decide to try to dodge it. It's funny though, that Runaway Jury movie came on right before bed last night.

There you go

There once was a penguin named Gold Pengu, who was queen of the pirates. She had fish and power beyond your wildest dreams. Before they hung her at the gallows she said, "My fortune is yours for the taking, you'll find everything I own in One Fish."

Penguins!
Don't give it up Zalli,
Penguins!
Don't give it up Xombie
Penguins!
Don't give up Seri

Give it up give it up give it up, Goooooooo!

Here's how the story goes we find out,
Bout a treasure in the Artic Circle there's no doubt,
The Pirate who's eye is on it will sing,
I'll be queen of the pirates, I'm gonna be Queen!

Yo ho, gotta goooo,

Here name is Zalli,
That's Penguin D Zalli
She'll be Queen of the Pirates
She's made of Rubber!
How did that Happen?
Yo ho ho, she took a bite of gumgum

Gotta go, gotta goooooo,

His name's Xombie, he's just like a samurai,
And an L-A-D-Y, Seri's not shy

The Penguin crew coming through doing their thing
With the queen of the Pirates, She's gonna be Queen

Set sail for One Fish
It's the name of the Treasure
In the Artic Circle
Set sail for One Fish!

I'm not sure, I think we're going to be more near Tuscon and Sedona? Is that near you?

[serisun.livejournal.com]

Tuscon is like an hour & half drive south. I don't actually know where Sedona is. I've always wanted to visit Sedona tho because its supposed to be a very beautiful place.
