Asshole Bingo = very yes
Some of you may have seen this article already from Megan's blog. It describes, fairly accurately I might say, the law school experience (especially first year) and introduced me to the fabulous game that is Asshole Bingo (or as we might put it, Gunner* Bingo). Asshole Bingo is made up of a 'bingo card' with all your classes across the top and five assholes from you section (or 'gunners') along the side, in whichever order you choose.
So let's say for example, you have Gunner #2 on the left side and "Crim Law" on the top somewhere, and surprise, surprise, Gunner #2 has a question in Crim Law. Then you would mark an X in that box. First to bingo wins! This seems like yet another hilarious way to pass the one hour of class. Well done, Miss Doxie.
I think my favorite section, though, is the part where she pinpoints when your soul dies. And yes, for those of you who are interested, my soul is dead:
Because, see, law school makes you insane. There are no exceptions. Soon you will be nuts.
And it comes on slowly at first; you'll be at a party with other first years... Someone will fall over during a keg stand, or fall down a flight of stairs, or SOME accident will occur, and instead of calling the party foul, as would be appropriate in such an instance, one of your classmates will instead turn to the group and say, "That is a tort."
And you will AGREE. And you will LAUGH. Because it is TRUE.
Now. You have just passed an important milestone! At this point, your soul is dead. Sorry.
*Gunner = someone who shoots their arm into the air each time the professor asks a question or when a student who is called on hesitates for a fraction of a second.

I have a gunner in one of my classes. I worry for his health. Honestly, I have never seen a man treat his hand like such a violent projectile before. He launches it out with such force that I am half expecting (hoping?) that it will one day cause his shoulder to separate! I mean, he even gives a torso twist! The humanity!
