CHARLIEFELDMANL a w I I IDROIT À L’IMAGEWelcome back!Our hiatus was longer than expected sothere’s way too much to put here, sacrificeshad to be made! Well, either that or Iterrible at collecting this stuff - it wouldhelp if it weren’t a combined compilationeffort involving copy-pasting from e-mailssent to a few different accounts(quid.charlie@gmail.com SVP), facebookmessages, text messages (I’m looking atyou, 2L spy…), my course notes, and randomhallway stops requiring me to jot onscraps of paper I later can’t read and typeup while praying for the best! I hope Ihave most everything Professorial here –student quotes will have to wait a littlewhile longer (so as not to give you 30pages of my section alone!).Before getting into the quotes, I want toquickly address a few random things.First, I’m starting to think the Quid Online(our video reports on facebook) doesn’tmake sense on a regular basis. Katie and Ihaven’t had a video in a few weeks simplybecause there’s been nothing on which toreport between Malpractice Cup and now(well, there should be a new video upMonday about the foosball coffeehouse,but I’m writing this in advance so perhapsthere won’t be). Long story short: It’s amuch better episode when we’re not randomlyscraping clips together or doing interviewsabout things you already know –it’s more enjoyable when there is a narrativethere, and let’s face it – you really justwant to see your classmates say sillythings.On a related note, I will (if all goes well)be graduating this year. It would be greatif both these endeavors (Droit a l’imageand the Quid Online) could continue – ifyou’re a 1L or 2L with any interest in this,please do drop me a line:quid.charlie@gmail.com. This section iseasy enough to do (and quite entertaining,especially for the quotes you getthat Profs ask you not to print). The QuidOnline involves much more effort, but ifyou have iMovie and can do random accents,please do come forward!Since I’m on a roll, let’s just awkwardlytransition now to Skit Nite. I’m hoping thevenue and date are firmed up this week.It’s been less than straightforward thisyear, but once all is resolved prepare foran ambush of Skit Nite announcements allover the place. Profs – get thinking whatyou’d like to do and drop me a line withyour ideas (and, if you want just a walk-onrole with a line or two, I have the perfectskit brewing!).On a final note, you may have seen the e-mail about the two LSA Committees beingformed – one on JD/LLB and one onConstitutional reform. I just want to saythat I’m delighted at how efficient the firstLSA Council meeting was and I’m over themoon that the JD/LLB motion passedquickly. At some point I’ll probably have alonger article in relation to both, but ifyou have any questions on either motion,feel free to holler.And with all that out of the way, on to thequotes! Have a great week, everyone!-CharlieOverheard at the Faculty:Dean Jutras: At most restaurants you payafter you've had food. At McDonald's, youpay BEFORE you've had the food. I'll leaveit to you to figure that out.Prof. [Redacted]: The proofreading in thiscasebook leaves a lot to be desired; youjust can't get away with forgetting the 'L'in 'public'. You just can't.Prof. [Redacted]: I'm trying to imaginewhat other enjoyable uses of a pole youcould have ... I guess you could go up anddown it.Me. Mitchell: Funeral homes do not advertiseto expand the market!Me. Mitchell: Typically, humans are notidiots.Prof. [Redacted]: So, this is something youmight find interesting. Actually, at thispoint, I don't care if you find this interestingor not.Prof. Moyse: Regardez les sites sur lesquelsvous cliquez, je parle des sites professionnels,éducationnels...Prof. [Redacted]: Un vin de Bordeaux semâche et un vin de Bourgogne s'embrasse,se grume. C'est important de fairela distinction!Prof. Jukier: They are not boo-hoo clients -they are big boys!Prof. Moyse: C'est trassique: Traditionnelet classique!Me. Mitchell: Just because there are adsfor cat food does not mean we are all runningout and buying a cat!Prof. Klein: I don’t know how many of youhound those criminal law gossip blogs…Prof. [Redacted]: A wolverine is not a mythicalanimal – it DOES exist! (class dissent)Don’t you tell me it doesn’t exist! Allof you with computers – look it up!Prof. Moyse: Si vous avez besoin d'un décodeurà hiéroglyphe pour comprendrecette définition, c'est normal.
