Who's on first, bitch?

We haven't posted much of late because, frankly, the HHI clowns have been pretty quiet. We were beginning to think something was up, but then Doc and the Angry Twit, as usual, came through for us today.

First, as an aside and regarding Doc, we understand the judge in his libel trial tossed overboard yet another request by him to have the case dismissed. McManus is now going to trial. Things should get interesting and we're really looking forward to seeing how Twit Minor incorporates the FBI and the Attorney General's office into his grand defense plan. We think this will likely give us weeks of excellent material. (You think?)

So, here's the predictably stupid exchange on HHI today between Doc and Solomon, doing the usual master and servant routine (though, fair warning, it's hardly the quality of Bertie and Jeeves; in fact, it's much closer to Abbot and Costello, or perhaps even Starsky and Hutch).

Doc: "From the docket it would appear we are drawing closer to a verdict in this case."

Well, actually no, dumb ass, we're far from a verdict. In fact, we now enter into discovery. Perhaps you should bone up on your court procedures, especially now that you find yourself in a trial, Mister-I-shall-be-ruined-but-heard. (What's Doc got to lose, really? His flask? Though, don't underestimate his emotional attachment to it -- we hear it's practically an appendage.)

As usual, Sir Solomon the Angry Twit swoops in with a mighty bitch slap to his loathed American cousin.

Solomon: "Doc, Well, of course as time progresses, we must be always be nearing the conclusion...."

Another Deep Thought by the Angry Twit. Perhaps he should self-publish these bon mots? (We'd buy some to use as coasters, or an emergency TP supply.)

Solomon: "...However, this signals the start of the discovery phase and quite possibly, it should have begun much earlier. The delay has been brought about by the seemingly endless series of motions, which is unusual for a (normally simple) admiralty arrest - Pizzo is probably sick and tired of it already. He has other, important (probably criminal) cases to handle."

No projection going on here, no sir! Solomon's mental powers are such he can read the thoughts of a federal court judge residing thousands of miles away in Tampa. He also apparently has access to Pizzo's "to do" list where he can determine the judge's appropriate priorities. Oh, and a minor detail for our favorite know-it-all Brit (who undoubtedly was solving trigonometry problems in his Mother's womb): Pizzo works in a court of civil law, not criminal, but thanks for playing, you silly sot.

Are these clowns great or what?

Of course, it wouldn't be a normal day unless Doc worked in the last word, especially since he now has to come crawling, properly chastised, before his colleague and supreme American hater:

Doc: "Solomon,I agree with you, Judge Pizzo must be getting tired of all the delay. (1) {"The Court finds Odyssey’s appeal for secrecy to be disingenuous and utterly without merit."} I hope the phrase,"appropriate discovery deadlines", refers to an end to all the 'smoke and mirrors' tap dancing around the cardinal issues of this matter."

Aw, ain't that cute? Doc reverently quotes Solomon to Solomon, which we suppose is the proper supplicant approach. But man! We just might have to alert the authorities about this abuse, it borders on the obscene!

Have a great weekend all!
