Three clerks

June 10, 2007 at 9:42 am · Filed under notices, others

I had my first post-exam professor sighting. After the fact, I realized what I initially took to be a bizarre grouping of individuals actually had a common trait - they’d all clerked at the Supreme Court.

JL looked as fantastic as ever. She was probably saying something intelligent and witty.

GS gestured emphatically. The others seemed to eat it up. Typical.

RP was a bit of a puzzle. He stood silently in one of my favorite electric bass player postures - feet spread about a yard apart, knees locked, torso upright and twisted towards the audience (or in his case, his colleagues). His head was nodding up and down (to the beat?) as he listened to GS. He also had his hands on his hips, adding a superhero element to his pose.

I think RP was the one who really made me lose it. I was choking on laughter for a half hour after seeing him. I know - I’m pathetic. But I haven’t been exposed to anything as amusing in A2 since the undergrads left. I did see an amazing 6′2″ transvestite hooker in Detroit a week or so ago, but that memory can only sustain me for so long.

    I’m not sure that Richard Posner is as tall as 6′2″.

    Hmm…that could be true. I’ve never seen any picture of him standing though. Only a big picture of his face. I find it vexing that I can’t figure out this RP person.

    Oh, right, right. I was going to spend some time this afternoon perusing the bio page on the website. And just so everybody knows, I went crazy with add/dropping this morning too.
