In the 6+ years I've been lawyerin', I've only pulled two all-nighters. Both times were when I was helping another associate file a motion for summary judgment. The MSJ. The big daddy of law and motion practice. Set your TiVo and hire a dog-walker, it's Emm Ess Jay writing time!
On Wednesday, I file three motions for summary judgment. THREE times the life-sucking fun! You find me another lawyer that's filed three of these bitches on one day, and cocktails are on me.
When I log the kind of hours that these three fatties have required, my brain gets a little kooky. A sample, from last night around midnight:
typey, typey does not warrant the imposition of punitive damages !!! Warrant!!! <<<guitar riff in my head>>> She's. My. Cher-rr-ry PIE! <<pie wedge falls into Tawny Kitaen's lap>> accordingly the Court should enter typey typey.
And so on. I think the little eruptions of insanity may have preserved my general sanity in the long run. That's what I'm telling myself anyway.
The kookiness is totally a defense mechanism to keep you from going completely batshit. Sit back and enjoy it :-)

Uhmmm... Oh, I'm really damning myself here, but I must point out that Tawny Kitaen frolicked about in Whitesnake videos, not Warrant videos. She was David Coverdale's ladyfriend, his special gal. The lass in the Warrant videos was... Bobbi something? Bobbi Brown? I'm really ashamed right now.

Yeah, it was Bobbi Brown. Spokesmodel Champion of Star Search.
I am even MORE ashamed.

I'm putting that into my iPod rotation. Excellent song.

Yeah, Tawny was a hood frolicker and not a pie lapper.
I really really like that sentence.
