Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church

I pass the Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church almost every day on our dog walks. My favorite thing about the church is the little statues sprinkled about:

Family law: Young Miss and the Skanks

Today 70-year-old Professor W decided to call out Jack (aka J.D. Baby):

Professor W: “Is Mr. Jack here? Mr. Jack? Ah yes. So the footnote on page 701 reminds me of you. Are you embarrassed?”
Jack: “I’m slightly embarrassed, Mam.”
Professor W: “Well the note reminds me of you.”
Jack: “Why is that Mam?”
Professor W: “Because the litigant calls everyone Mam, just like you do.”
Jack: “Well, in my defense Mam, I did offer to call you Young Miss.”
Professor W: “Why use two words when one will do?! Besides both are equally inappropriate.”


The rampant off-topic discussion
and professor’s use of the F-Bomb has also led to a total breakdown of classroom decorum:

Professor W: “Any other thoughts?”
Jill: “I think average skirt height should be a consideration in child custody determinations.”
Professor W: “What did you say?”
Jill: “Skirt height.”
Professor W: “Skirt height?”
Jill: “Yes. To see if the parent’s mates are skanky.”
Professor W: “Skanky?”
Jill: “Yes.”

Professor W then writes the word “SKANKY” on the blackboard.

Professor W: “Is this the word?”
Jill: “Yes.”
Professor W: “And what does this mean?”
Jill: “It means ‘slutty’ but it’s more socially acceptable to say.”
Professor W: “Really? Is it in the dictionary?”
Jack (Chirping in): “It will be soon!”

Breaks in Dinkytown

Dinkytown is still one of my favorite places to spend my breaks in between classes. Dinkytown is the University of Minnesota’s student village, and just far enough from school to not be infested with law students.

Dinkytown is home to most of UMN’s Fraternities and Sororities, including Gamma Eta Gamma, the law school fraternity. I lived in Dinkytown during my first semester of law school and love passing by my old haunts.

The Kitty Kat club is where the Twilight lesbian parties were held:
Dinkytown
And the Varsity Theater is where Joel and I saw Colbie Caillat and Uncle Kracker: Dinkytown
One of the funniest things about studying at Dinkytown cafes with undergrads is how many Ke$ha lookalikes there are. I wonder how long this trend is going to last.
