Coming Monday, as promised, will be a bifurcated presentation of Blawg Review #51, presented here and at Declarations & Exclusions. To drive traffic like crazy, I feel the necessity to advertise this Big Event. And to that end, what could be better than a catchy advertising jingle?
I have crafted just such a jingle for the occasion. It is to be sung to the tune of "The Major-General's Song" from Gilbert & Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, better known in some circles as the melody to which Tom Lehrer crooned his then-complete listing of The Elements.
For those who'd care to sing along, just launch this handy MIDI version of Sir Arthur Sullivan's perky little tune. All together now, step, point, step, point, . . . and a one, and a two --
We'll host the very model of a legal weblog carnival,
The finest compilation since the Battle of the Marne; of all
The practice fields our cov'rage will be maximal, not minimal,
From Civil Litigation to Transactional and Crinimal.
You'll seek it here, you'll seek it there, just like that pesky Pimpernel;
Will we produce a bang or will we crumple with a whimper? Well,
Just wait and see on April 3, we're puttin' on the dog for you:
The Fifty-First edition of the mighty mighty Blawg Review!
[Chorus of law clerks and comment spammers:]
The Fifty-First edition of the mighty mighty Blawg Review!
The Fifty-First edition of the mighty mighty Blawg Review!
The Fifty-First collection of those mighty, slightly hoity-toity Blawgs!
From lavish L.A. office suites to somewhere in Schenectady,
From scads of legal thinkers on the Internet collected, we
Will skim the choicest morsels for your pleasure and enlightenment:
Just wait until you read it, you'll be breathless with excitenment!
Each legal mind you'll truly find's unique in perspicacity,
Expressing its opinions with abandon and audacity;
You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fall in love all over, every one of you --
The Fifty-First edition of the mighty mighty Blawg Review!

Light refreshments will be served. Arrive early for prime seating. Offer void where prohibited.
Driving traffic, herding cats. Whatever will I do for #52?
dui --
does a blawg
shout in the woods?
