Every now and then, I take some ribbing for the "Friends" references I make. But today, at blawgging heavyweight Concurring Opinions, I find I'm not the only one.

Concurring Opinions: Put Your Hands Together:

In an episode of Friends, Joey, a notorious womanizer, is eating fresh-made jam directly from the jar. Chandler says, "Hey, Joe. I gotta ask. The girl from the Xerox place--buck naked [holding up one hand], or [holding up the other hand] a big tub of jam?" And Joey says, "Put your hands together." That is how I feel about movies and tax. Put your hands together! Lucky for me, such a fantasy place does exist: movie tax credits.

Granted, in this post, Prof. Lawsky provides a little more context than I might typically provide in my "Friends" references. There probably aren't enough "Friends" geeks in my readership for many to understand the reference here, for instance.

Regardless, I'm just hoping this is a sign of the practice taking off. Soon, such references will be common and meaningful to all!

This is my second day back at work since the bar exam. I came in Friday, but things were generally dead. It's not dead today.

I have not been keeping count of the number of people who ask me how I did on the bar exam. I'm not entirely sure how I wish to answer such questions. I've settled on, "I think I did well enough to pass." Does that sufficiently hedge?

I just made the mistake of reading someone's breakdown of questions and issues, which suggests that I missed more issues that I had originally believed. In particular, it appears that perhaps my Question #3 and Question #5 were weaker than I had originally believed.

Oh, man. It's going to be a long wait until November 21.
