Since I've been blogging 3x a day, I might as well keep it up. Looks like I've got Jury Duty on March 17. This is my first time, although I've been registered to vote for the past 5 years. Maybe the last place I was registered to vote (Cupertino) doesn't have criminals. I'm psyched!
The cool part is that my employer offers me up to 12 paid weeks off work per year for jury duty. That just might kick ass. Then again, I've never done jury duty before. It sounds fun, but I'm basing that opinion on a Pauly Shore movie my mom took me to see in 1995. And 3 months off work could a) get boring and b) fuck the timeliness of the project I'm working on. I'm cool with it fucking my workplace responsibilities, but I'd hate to be bored.
Posted by Ethan at February 25, 2003 11:41 PMMy super SUPER serious advice:
•Don't go into the situation without collecting some info. At least, make sure you know that the defendant is guilty as charged.
•Don't take no for an answer, court is tough.
•Try no to sit next to the old lady wearing a doily. She's goina try to bond with you.. make you into her juror buddy. If you get stuck next to her, tell your into Zonpower or something.
•Eat massive amounts of trailmix and drink super cheap wine, as to attain a constant stream of quiet flatchulance (try Pinot Grigio.. and extra banana chips).
•Blog the whole thing so that I can know what jury duty is like.
Sorry if you don't happen to agree... I'm just coming up with stuff!

Posted by: adam on February 26, 2003 02:02 PMyou know, I think it was the banner award that Adam made for my web page back in 1998 (based on the design of "web page and beer" one that Ethan made) that really inspired me to make a web page that didn't suck. Because Adam's "award" said "your web page sucks cock" and was complete with a barely recognizable picture of a guy sucking cock, drawn in windows paint.
Adam, do you still have those web award images?
Posted by: Monzy on February 27, 2003 10:23 AMIIRC, I actually made those images on ethan's computer, and he got mad at me. But, we promised never to speak of that year living together again, so I really shouldn't say more. In my search, however, I did find these gems:
