DIS Dads DDC XXV: It’s a Special Holiday Episode of the DISDad’s Club

[declansdad]

Still here. Didn't get called for the first 30. It's a medical malpractice trial from what I have figured out thus far. Married couple in 50s suing ER, Dr group, and 1 Dr specifically. They have already dismissed 10 for knowing parties, as there are 10 attorneys involved. Also, it is a week long trial. Even if I could just be an alternate, then I get out of work. 40 out of 100 chance and still no luck.

So you want to be on the jury?

Andy, did you get a job writing greeting cards at Hallmark?

No, but maybe I should submit that greeting. I could always use an extra source of income.


Come to think of it, if I had that extra source of income, maybe I could actually go to convention...

 

[AirGoofy]

So you want to be on the jury?

Yes. Get out of work. 10 more dismissed. Not even in the top 50.

In that case disregard my comment about mumbling "Hang'em"

I can see it on Facebook??

Well in that case, there's definitely no point in getting some kind of text alerts on my phone when I'm trying to sleep!

And, it's medical malpractice with the hospital named. Sure to be potential big bribes there. Where's Gene Hackman?

You don't want the text alerts at 5:30am?

On a positive note, DS hit a 3 point shot with 40 seconds to go to tie our hoop game this weekend. Then stole the ball, hit two free throws with 13 seconds left and we captured a come from behind win! Then DD10 knocked down a 3 point shot and a deep jumper from the corner to start off her game yesterday. Good weekend for family hoops.

Congrats to the kids. You obviously don't coach them.

This ain't SEC country.

Not sure who I want to win tonight. As a catholic growing up in Upstate NY, you were naturally a ND fan. As a Florida Grad, this house is SEC Country. Rule number 1 is that SEC roots for the SEC. Tired of Alabama though. Hope it is a good game.

At jury pool. 12% chance I'll get picked. I am hoping so. Attorneys have expensive suits, so maybe I can get a big bribe.

Served on a jury once for a murder trial. After sitting for a week with my fellow jurors, I totally lost my faith in the jury system.

Will there be live updates of Barry mysteriously getting dragged into the woods at mile 7 and beaten with fungo bats for 2-3 hours?


Just wondering...

Are you friends with Carl on Facebook? He might be posting a live feed of that!

Let me know if he bleeds cheddar. I've always wondered that.

milestone approaching.....

4 sleeps and I'll be riding on one of these!!!

Steve's thinking chair?

3 Sleeps for me.

You don't want the text alerts at 5:30am?

He'd probably prefer the more personal touch of you calling him so he can hear the sounds of the race start. Nothing beats hearing "Celebrate You" at 5 am.

That or bacon. Or cheddar bacon.

Nope... Mickey's thinking chair.

Not a bad idea... Andy PM me your cell... I'll keep you updated with the meets starting at 4am.

Norm heading to court ownage!

Yes. Get out of work. 10 more dismissed. Not even in the top 50.

So how many more until they get to you? If they keep dismissing people they may no choice but to take you, bathing and all.

I do coach them! They just don't listen to me.

Are you planning on being at the DDC? Sounds like it would be an easy trip over, what about 3 hour drive? If so have fun. Sorry all your Florida teams got beat this year.

I'll lose more faith in the system if they actually let Norm on the jury and have an opinion.

"I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."

That insightful quote is attributed to Karl, Richard, or Groucho Marx- it doesn't really matter which one. The point is that a long time ago, a young man had a dream of owning a DVC contract and took to the interwebs to do research. That research took him to the disboards where he perchance stumbled upon an online group of some 350 or so guys who shared a love of family, Disney and fart jokes. After watching from the sidelines for a few weeks, that young man decided to get in the game and join this club.

Timing it just right to get the coveted membership #400, our hero cautiously observed his new surroundings and learned the habits of his new neighbors. Some liked beer, some could quote movies as well as he could, but all liked bacon. Over time- and life's ups and downs, our hero came to learn what hundreds before and after him would also learn: That between the trip reports, fantasy leagues and comparing different bourbons, there was a real community here that is not often found online or in person. And despite the fact that of all the regulars in the club our hero was surely the slowest to get to post #1000, he values this group and looks forward to wasting his company's money on many, many more hours of reading and posting.

To the next thousand posts (Coming March 2018)!! I'll see some of you in a few days, and I'll see the rest of you at the DDC 2014!
