'Cover of the ABA': Amusing, By Lawyer Standards
It's not nearly as entertaining as the Promiscuous Firm music video from those Canadian law students. So don't get your hopes TOO high.
But this video, in which a lawyer aspires to the legal-geek distinction of making the cover of the ABA Journal, has its moments. So we'll pass along it to you, and you can check it out depending upon how bored you are today:
(The two moments that we chortled at were the least politically correct lines. We suspect that the ABA, one of the more PC organizations on the face of planet Earth, would be less amused.)
UPDATE: In our opinion, this video is far more entertaining -- even though, as a videotaped deposition, it really shouldn't be. We will refrain from further comment because we will only get ourselves in trouble.

Tier 1 student I hope.
Deponent = A Total Diva. But Lat won't go anywhere near it because he'll get hated on for picking on another strong African-American female.
The depo video is AWESOME. The woman should go to law school. As an advocate, she'd be fierce.
Mildly amusing, agreed. In case anyone doesn't get the reference, it's a rip off of this song:
ARTIST: Dr. Hook
TITLE: On the Cover of Rolling Stone
Well we are big rock singers, we've got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten thousand dollars a show
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
{Refrain}
Rolling Stone
Wanna see my picture on the cover
Rolling Stone
Wanna buy five copies for my mother
Rolling Stone
Wanna see my smilin' face
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
I've got a freaky old lady name o' Cocaine Katy
Who embroiders on my jeans
I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy
Drivin' my limousine
Now it's all designed to blow our minds
But our minds won't really be blown
Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
{Refrain}
We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian guru
He's teachin' us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture
On the cover of the Rolling Stone
{Refrain}
Is that deposition for real? It could be an outtake from "Norbit" (which is probably what killed Eddie Murphy's Oscar chances).
I love the tears shed by the mother over getting hit on the head. Clearly looking for a reason to sue these people. Also liked when the questioning attorney forgot the deponent's name. Excellent.
