Oops…

Yeah, OK.  I have to admit it.  I said The Oaf should be a no-show at John Hoge’s Maryland trial before Judge Hecker today.  And he didn’t show.  Wow.  We get results, I guess.

But in my haste to provide a gratuitous recommendation¹ yesterday, I, err… forgot to add something. Forgot… yep, that’s the ticket. Something that, in the light of 20-20 hindsight, was really important. Really, really important, and especially now in light of Our Oaf not showing.

I should have added, but didn’t, that Bill would have been wise to shell out the grand or so that it would have cost to have a lawyer enter an appearance at trial this morning and put the Absent Adversary’s objection to the proceedings in the record.  But, as I said, I, err, um… forgot.

So he wasn’t there and, being Our Oaf, couldn’t restrain himself from frothing at the keyboard about the situation [safe link here].

Well, he promised us an ADA lawsuit.  And I have to give him props for getting it filed, yessiree, right away in Twitter Court this morning.  So we’ll see.

And what is going to happen in Maryland?  Well, I imagine it going down something like this.

We can dream big dreams, can’t we?
