Funny GIFs: UR Law Edition

 The amazing blog #Whatshouldwecallme is taking UR Law-- and the world-- by storm.  As if we needed another way to procrastinate, it came from the heavens to provide entertainment and in-class giggle outbreaks (this is directed at you, Kati Kitts).  Motivated by the amazing-ness of this blog, I've decided to make my own "Richmond Specific" version.  Try not to laugh during class.

How I feel on a Monday Morning:

When someone volunteers to brief when no one has read the case

My girlfriends and I before Barrister's Ball:

How 2Ls feel when 1Ls complain about how busy they are:

Anytime Strong pounces on you in class:

When someone complains about the free lunch your student org provided at some meeting:

When Toby (literally) runs into me in the upstairs hallway loop:

When I'm spying on my friends at (insert any Richmond Hipster bar here):

When Dean Williams says, "Shame on us. SHAME on our profession,"  OR when he wears "the black long-sleeved polo:"

This is a real email.  Seriously.

The University of Richmond Police Department is investigating the theft of an EZ-Go golf cart from parking lot R-20. The theft occurred sometime after Feb. 22, 2012. The golf cart is white with a small enclosed bed to store items. The golf cart is marked with a maroon “T” on the back of the bed enclosure.

Risk reduction:
It is recommended that you always lock golf carts to a stationary object with a chain or cable lock. Additionally, if your golf cart is equipped with doors, locking the doors will provide additional safety.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to contact URPD by either calling (804) 289-8715 or reporting through anonymous resources listed on the webpage below.

Best SOPA Protest Memes

As with any huge controversy, Memes erupted after the SOPA/PIPA protests.  I collected some of the best memes for your viewing pleasure:

Feel free to add any more :)

You Know You're a 2L When...

• You no longer fear the Bluebook. In fact, you get sort of a sick pleasure out of figuring out legal citations.

• The word "internship" either makes you shudder in fear and anxiety OR makes you feel like a big-money boss.
• A professor (adjunct) tells you, "Great answer!" and you just stare at them, scared.
• You've run into at least one professor at a bar.
• You've had a full on serious and/or legal conversation with a professor while drunk.
• You've "adopted" a 1L as your own... kind of like a pet.
• You realize that if you come out of an exam feeling good, there is NO WAY you're getting an A.

• You [think you] are on first-name terms with professors.... when actually you just call them by their last name.
• Stalking LinkedIn is a full-time hobby.
• You realize that you MUST do something outside of law school.
• Your friends from college have stopped calling during the week and the months of Nov.--Dec and April--May.
• Art? Who needs art on the walls? You've decorated your room with flowcharts of Agency Relationships and the Rules of Evidence.\
• You get a pitter-patter in your heart over a good suit.
• This applies to you:

The 1-L Outline Fund - GWU Law Revue 2011

Shared with me by my friend Sarah, a student at Regent Law.

This had to be shared...

Ok.  So this doesn't have to do with law school, but it had to be shared somehow.   My little sister is a senior in high school.  She is looking for a room mate-- apparently they have a new-fangled way to do this now called roomsurf.com.  She IMs me this evening:
