To be painfully honest, we have decided against becoming a lawyer, at least for right now, because we think we would either have a massive stress-based closing argument aneurysm, or an Al Pacino-ish 'And Justice For All' disbarment party. However, when we watch clips of Casey Anthony's lawyer, Jose Baez either texting, or playing Galaga, on his mobile device in open court we can't help put feel we may not have to shut that career path down entirely. And yes, as a tremendously mediocre, oft unprepared, law student we did actually once employ the Chewbacca defense during a moot court-ish exercise. A couple of us thought it was far beyond hilarious. The person giving the grades apparently had a rather dry coochie...and this isn't sexist-he was a dude. A very very very uptight dude. This is roughly around the same time we learned how to sleep while keeping our eyes open like the lava lizards of the Galapagos.

This just rules-a huge sound from a power trio at the time; all your kids need is a cheap Mexicali Fender strat/amp package, a tube amp pedal and a general disdain for authority. You can get the guitar, amp and pedal from on-line gear suppliers such as American Music Supply/Musicians Friend for less than $300 dollars-you can't, buy, nor teach the angst and the passion, though}
