How Do Court Reporters Keep Straight Faces? These are from a book called Disorder in the Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while the exchanges were taking place. ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, ‘Where am I, Cathy?’ ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! _______________________________ ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active? WITNESS: No, I just lie there. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth? WITNESS: July 18th. ATTORNEY: What year? WITNESS: Every year. _____________________________________ ATTORNEY: How old is your son, the one living with you? WITNESS: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can’t remember which. ATTORNEY: How long has he lived with you? WITNESS: Forty-five years. _________________________________ ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget.. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ____________________________________ ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He’s 20, much like your IQ. ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you shitting me? _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And what were you doing at that time? WITNESS: Getting laid ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: She had three children , right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated? WITNESS: By death.. ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated? WITNESS: Take a guess. ___________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual? WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female? WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I’m going with male. _____________________________________ ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work. ______________________________________ ATTORNEY: Doctor , how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people? WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight. _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: ALL your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you go to? WITNESS: Oral… _________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time? WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished. ____________________________________________ ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample? WITNESS: Are you qualified to ask that question? ______________________________________ And last: ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No.. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

oh my god these are great

fuck this is like reading a jokes and not actual quotes

fun things to slip into conversation include

  • “i’m kinda fucking w/ the fourth wall here but-”
  • “I’m only saying this for foreshadowing purposes”
Avatar
  • “this’ll make more sense when you meet your nemesis but-”
  • “shit that’s not in the script”
  • “i thought we cancelled this story arc”

“Probably gonna rewrite this later so-”

“because this trope isn’t overused enough”

oh well that couldn’t possibly be–

i–hold on, i need a minute

It gets more and more wild:

  • Big Nose George was killed by mob violence, despite already being sentenced by the court to hang to death for murdering 2 lawmen
  • The physician who performed the autopsy decided for some ungodly reason to have Big Nose George’s skin made into a pair of shoes. what doctor does this??? 
  • the doctor later gets elected governor. Guess which shoes he wears to his inauguration ceremony?
  • not to be outdone, his 15 year old assistant, Lillian Heath, keeps the top part of George’s skull. She keeps it all her life & uses it as an ash tray, a pen holder, and a doorstop. She goes on to become the first doctor in the state. 
  • what the fuck was going on in the wyoming medical field
  • here’s a closeup of the shoes, which are now on display in the county museum

what the fuck wyoming

My ideal Wikipedia biography

It was called the Wild West for a reason.

I dont know what scares me more, the fact artists and writers now have a reference for human leather. Or the fact multiple people genuinely thought this was a perfectly normal and okay thing to do.

So a couple things I’ve noticed from the notes and tags:

1. it’s definitely worth reading the Wikipedia article on this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Nose_George

2. people were asking what part of him got used to make the shoes- apparently it was his thighs and chest (including his nipples!) that got made into shoes and a Medical bag.

3. People have been using Human Skin for Dubious Leathergoods on and off for a while now, but it got real popular in the Victorian Era because medical science had finally bought into doing autopsies and people were exploring what could be learned from/made with dead bodies to a crazy degree, sort of how modern statistics technology is being used to engage in mass surveilance and propganda.  We will presumably get over this phase eventually.

The main reason we don’t use Human leather more is that, as I understand it, we kind of suck for leather because our skin is too delicate to last very long or work with in the conventional means.

If your in school and reading this, refuse to go to school. Or if they force you, do a sort down strike. Refuse to go to classes. Get your friends to do the same. WEAR A FUCKING MASK.

They are killing you, your friends, their families, your teachers and thousands of random people who you will end up infecting. They are sending you back knowing that you will get sick and die or get other people killed. Dont let them. Your life isnt worth it.

Not the celebrity news we ever expected to read, but the celebrity news we deserve to read.
While speaking to Slate for an oral history of the cabbage merchant, Sie playfully said, "Of course, now I’m more at the age of what the cabbage merchant was then. I will cultivate that little beard if they need me to. And because my face is quite expressive, I’m perfect for a live-action version of an animated show. I’m ready."

Please let this guy play the cabbage man

it’s what he deserves

#CabbageManForLiveCabbageMan

HE COULD PLAY HIM SO WELL! GIVE THIS MAN THE ROLE!!!

Literally none of my story ideas come with a plot, ever. WITHOUT FAIL, it’s always just an Aesthetic, like two and a half characters, some very, very vivid settings, and a weird concept. Never plot. Not even an inkling of a plot. My brain tosses me this cool stuff and is like welp i’ll be back in 4-5 business months 

Don’t look for plots, look for problems

Examples: 

  • crippling debt 
  • lonliness 
  • a building is on fire 
  • the world is going to end 
  • failure 
  • a broken heart
  • guilt 
  • noises they can only hear 
  • seperation 
  • lack of strength 
  • lack of wit 
  • someone has too much pride 
  • forbidden love 
  • encouraged love? 

Pick a problem, give it to a character, and let them try and solve it. 

Bam: plot. 

This is exactly Stephen King’s approach, outlined in “On Writing”. He prefers to start with a “What if?” situation, introduce characters, and then see what they do.

Literally anyone who’s read the results of any other time this experiment has been tried. Why are we still trying to prove the concept?

We’re still trying to prove the concept because in the West, Big Business and their owners, The 1%, are screaming at the thought of having to give up a little money so everyone can get universal income that supports life - meaning jobs either have to pay you to put up with the literal shit or people can walk away from them without becoming homeless.

Our entire system is basically based on people being so afraid of homelessness and starvation that they’ll accept any shit job for shit pay.

WHY DOES HIS SUIT HAVE NIPS

Everything about the batsuit is designed for intimidation and fear. The batsuit represents what truly terrifies Bruce Wayne and he weaponizes it against his enemies.
