I don't get "Lance Rock." Is it a made-up homo name?

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Sounds like a POWER NAME to me.

He is a Beyond the Valley of the Dolls character.

My BMI is normal. Not high or low, just normal. 20.1
WEREN'T YOU JUST DYING TO KNOW MY BMI?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

You know, like Lance Loud + Rock Hudson.

John: Homer, what have you got against gays?

Homer: You know! It's not... usual. If there was a law, it'd be against it!

Marge: Oh Homer, please! You're embarrassing yourself.

Homer: No I'm not, Marge! They're embarrassing me. They're embarrassing America. They turned the Navy into a floating joke. They ruined all our best names like Bruce, and Lance, and Julian. Those were the toughest names we had!

Is it still considered meta-humor if we're not actually on ilx?

I'm in class and they are setting up a video called "Revitalizing the Lawyer-Poet: What Lawyers Can Learn from Rock and Roll" and I am not optimistic.

As a matter of fact, whatever good will I started with today is slowly unraveling with every continued second of this movie.

Plus this movie used Bill Clinton and Alberto motherfucking Gonzales as examples of why attorneys are well-suited professionally and ethically to serve as leaders.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:05 (seventeen years ago) link

HA!

Nick just called but there was a meeting going on behind me (glass walls and they never shut the door) AND a guy came in for another meeting. Way to ruin my personal life, folks! I'm trying to gab on the phone here!

Also the narrator makes Peter Francis Geraci look like John Stewart. He makes Ben Stein look like... somebody much more excitable than Ben Stein.

Richard Simmons.

Here are some choice quotes from the film:

"Like rock, legal work is full of power and passion."

"Like rock troubadours, we are doing our job. We are at the same time stewards of the establishment and it's demanding critics."

"The democratic vision of rock and roll is a tough one for lawyers, but if we want to rock, it's got to be part of the package."

These quotes were illustrated with in-concert clips of Jimi Hendrix. After the movie, a student asked, "Did this movie just tell us that if we do drugs, we'll be better lawyers?"

Can someone please recommend some other radio programs I could download that are like TAL but not TAL? Is there such a thing? I listened to the finalists of the Third Coast Fest. on Thanksgiving, and that was pretty fun, they were good, but I was wondering if there is more stuff out there that I could download or buy individual eps or something. You know, for pedagogical purposes.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 17:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I guess Car Talk wouldn't qualify, huh? I love Car Talk. but I don't even know if you can download it.

Fun facts about attorneys:

* 15-18% of attorneys will have substance abuse problem vs. 10% of general population.
* Over 1/3 of attorneys say they are dissatisfied and would choose another profession if they could.
* Attorneys have the highest rates of depression and suicide of any profession.

Amanda! How timely! Someone on another board just recommended this program: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/

I haven't listened to it yet but I'm gonna.

Eh, not Car Talk. I want "interesting stories" that "stimulate conversation." Documentary radio.

Ok. Thankee. I need some new material. I didn't think I would run out so quickly, but I'm losing steam.

That wasn't a link to Cartalk, just FYI. It's to a program call Radio Lab:

Radio LabĀ® is an investigation. Each episode is a patchwork of people, sounds, stories and experiences centered around One Big Idea. On RadioLab, science bumps into culture... information sounds like music.

Radio Lab is designed for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder, who are curious about the world but who also want to be moved and surprised.
