Litigation Tricksters, Unite!

The American Bar Association, also known as the ABA, turns 132 today. This date is even mentioned in Daria's Sick, Sad Life Planner.

To my surprise, the ABA's journal for August 2010 has a list of "the 25th greatest fictional lawyers who are not Atticus Finch." To my horror, Helen Morgendorffer is not on the list! (See comment #133, however.)

Helen, this day's for you.

Legendary animator Friz Freleng was born 108 years ago today. Hawaii became a state in the USA 51 years ago.

I plan to fill up the blank space with fanfiction later today. Hang around 4 moar.


LATE NOTE: Sorry, that didn't work. Stay tooned for tomorrow's post!

Aloha from the Fashion Club!

Stacy Rowe shakes her fashionable grass skirt in celebration of Hawaii's 50th anniversary of statehood today.

Today is also the 36th birthday of computer wizard Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google (which operates Blogger.com, which makes this blog possible: thank you!).

It is a special day in animation history as well, being the 103rd birthday anniversary of Warner Brothers animator Friz Freleng, who invented so many WB cartoon characters I can't even list them all here. Daria probably knows most of them on a first-name basis. Would Daria be as sarcastic as she is without Bugs Bunny's snarky comments?

The American Bar Association, which maintains a code of ethics for lawyers in the United States, was formed today 131 years ago. This concept must make Jim Vitale laugh loud and long.

A news item from online, by way of the Jackson Free Press (Jackson, Miss.), is "Movie Review, Sort of" about IIFY? and MTV in general.

Richard Lobinske is trolling for Halloween costume ideas for a story he's writing in the John Lane series. Go help him out and make yourself famous.

Moar on the way.
