Funny/-I told my husband the same thing.  I saw a comedian once say that if you were going to be an exotic dancer, your stage name was always the name of your childhood pet followed by your middle name. 

I've seen where people said it's your childhood pet followed by the name of the street you lived on.  That's literally how Iggy Azalea took her stage name.  She was born Amethyst Amelia Kelly.

We got a plaintiff in a rerun using the "word" beginningly today.

Who knows, I sure have no idea how to judge admitted druggies' ages. Sounded like defendant was the only one not freely admitting to frequent drug use.

Here in Brooklyn, I've seen it spelled "fugazi" and it's Italian slang for phony/fake; "Did you hear his fugazi story about why his wife left him?"

 

Why, JJ is from Brooklyn. How did she not know this?  Snickered softly to myself every time the plaintiff said "fugazi" because it caused Judy to scan the police report every time and then announce, "This says Hartford Police Department."

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

The PCP Plaintiff was out of control.  She looked like an episode of Intervention right there complete with crocodile tears.

I actually understood Fugazi! I'm learning alternative languages on the JJ show! It's educational!! (counts as part of my classes for my student loan)

So, do car thieves in Chicago really steal cars using a tow truck?  All right then.

The boat trailer lady -- she started to say "I have written representation -- " but JJ cut her off.  Was it something in writing from the boat seller saying that the boat was in good condition?  Wouldn't that be a warranty?

My guess is that it was the original ad.  But Judy was right - she could have checked it out, and who knows what all happened to it in the intervening time.  Not return the trailer?!  Plaintiff was very kind in the hallterview, I thought.

LOVING the tow truck case.  The Def. needs to go on my "litigants we love" list.  Plaintiff is doing a good job - well-dressed, articulate, has his documents.  But still in the wrong.  And my understanding is that repo people purposely zip in and out, because most people don't take kindly to having their unpaid property snatched out from under their noses.

Yeah, plaintiff was kind in the hallterview, but in a relieved sort of way.  In court, he appeared a bit nervous, apprehensive -- his eyes kept shifting.  Didn't he say he was selling a boat cover, or a boat top?  If so, then the ad wouldn't have mentioned the condition of the boat.  But it's odd that she went to him to buy a boat cover and ended up buying the boat as well.  Weird.

[Toaster Strudel]

The pig case was all that!  JJ gave the plaintiff permission to make bacon of the "wild biting pigs" that the defendant denied was hers.  The defendant showed baby pigs, totally different from the hogs that were messing up the plaintiff's lawn!  Coincidentally the same markings, but the size difference was proof enough!

[Spunkygal]

I bet the late great Peter Sellers would have loved to know he was mentioned in a crazy biting, digging pig case! It's funny how JJ goes to the deep recesses of her mind when she mentions someone. I wonder if Cary Grant is next?

[AngelaHunter]

The stupidity we see here in mature people is truly shocking. We had Ms. Piggy and her silly smirk, adamant that her pigs were "in a pin" the whole time when we're looking at pics of them roaming free. Poor animals. They have no choice if they end up living with fools and morons. I don't get it. If someone came to me and told me any animal of mine had damaged their property I'd be totally apologetic and pay to get it fixed, not stand there with my Wicked Witch of the West profile and my dumb smile.

Then we had Mrs. Smithies, squat grinning troll who insisted she did her due diligence when buying a 30-year old boat. No, she didn't test it in the water or take it to a boat mechanic to have it checked. She stood there and listened to a total stranger tell her it was fine and that was her diligence. She had no reason not to trust him, did she? Or did he strong-arm her and not allow her to have it checked out? What about "coercion?"Nothing JJ said to her made a single dent in that hard head. Seems her husband and son are incompetent morons too. They worked on this boat for two months, and still it sank the first time it was put in the water. Idiots like this would be so much easier to take if they didn't stand there with dopey grins as though they were proud of their actions.

No, it's not. If he said it was guaranteed not to leak for x amount of time, that the engine/wiring or whatever was new or anything else specific it would be. "Good condition" is not a warranty and maybe it WAS in good condition when she bought it. Who knows what happened to it in the 4 months it took her to put in the water.

Yeah, and I bet not once in Mrs. Smithies' exhaustive "due diligence" did she ask that million-dollar question, "Does it float?" Strangers should take care of her business and guard her interests.

A pan of water knocked off a stove might well splash the lower part of a body. 

True but the pattern of injury would be different. Listening to the doctor's comments, it sounded like the burn pattern was more consistent with pouring rather than splashing.

 

Either way it sounds painful

Finally got around to watching the entirety of this, and, drug issues aside, that was some horrific shit that happened. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Plaintiff was lucky she was out of her mind on drugs because that had to be unimaginably painful. I'm pretty sure she took a hit to her cooter area as well (JJ kind of danced around mentioning that). I don't know if anyone else saw that documentary called Hot Coffee (highly recommended, BTW) about the woman who sued McDonalds for her coffee burn injuries, but I imagine the Plaintiff's injuries were as painful and gruesome as that woman suffered. 

When JJ asked the pig Plaintiff where she and the Defendant lived, I was expecting a response of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, or Tennessee -- not Indiana. Both of those women had strong Southern accents - is that prevalent in Indiana? 

I got the rerun case yesterday of the 33-year old entitled, hipster bicyclist suing the 11-year old child who had more sense than the bicyclist ever had in his life. JJ was right to rip him a new one because I totally see him thinking the kid's presence in the road was a nuisance to him in maintaining his heart rate on his ride. Seeing the boy in the crosswalk, he needed to make a judgment of maybe GOING ANOTHER ROUTE and cycling back around to make the turn he needed. But noooooooo....special snowflake road warrior has to make his turn anyway and collides with the skateboard. To which I say: GOOD. I'm glad he wasn't seriously injured, but am more glad he suffered some serious public humiliation on TV. Douchebag.

Sure can be depending on where in Indiana they lived. It's one of those skinny, long states and if you live in southern Indiana, you're right next to Kentucky. Louisville, KY is right on the Indiana/Kentucky border.

Owensboro in Western Kentucky is also right across the Indiana border but is about a 2.5 hour drive away from Louisville.

I didn't get to see the PCP crazed episode. JJ was pre-empted for snow coverage :(

The pig case was pretty good. JJ saying without saying that the lady would be within her rights to get rid of 'wild pigs' wrecking her property and biting her kids was great. Too bad the pigs are stuck with such an idiot in charge of caring for them.

[BubblingKettle]

While watching today's reruns, I was dying to know Ticia Tinder's age. She was the woman with a massive amount of plastic surgery, a cat that passed away, and a neighbor who claimed that she was the craziest woman she ever met. Ticia's neck and hands weren't cluing me in on her age. She and her surgeon (or face injections worker) need to be stopped -- she was getting that wide-faced look like John Kerry (too many fillers) or Rocky Dennis.

And then there's Kokka Coleman (Coca-Cola) with her fake crying.  But I did enjoy the defendant's hallterview statement, "What do I look like, Johnny Appleseed goin around chopping down trees so they fall on people's cars?"

[AZChristian]

5 seconds of research - she's about 54.  STEP AWAY FROM THE BOTOX.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

The defendant's friend in this unpaid wages case has a truly stunning weave. I'm surprised she doesn't have a neck like a linebacker, having to hold all that up.

[Guest]

I'm on the slow bus this week and just finished with the case after the car repo featuring yet ANOTHER insane dog breeder. Today's nutcase is Jan Stewart who forces a Great Pyrenees to mate with a standard Poodle which yields a mutt fancifully named a "pyredoodle." Her scam is a unique one -- she takes a deposit from some clod who's unfamiliar with the the goddamned SPCA --'but doesn't have a puppy to sell, just the promise of one at some indeterminate period of time. Conceivably, the purchaser of Jan Stewart's backyard breeding mill could wait months or possibly YEARS or FOREVER because scamstress Jan Stewart has a "no refund" policy on all deposits for her imaginary puppies. 

I had no love for the Plaintiff either. She's got MS and needs a service dog? GO TO THE SPCA OR A LOCAL RESCUE! I don't think there is anything outlined in the service dog guide book that says people with MS should seek out a "pyredoodle" service dog. 

I was in a bad mood before I started watching this case and, I don't know, it just seemed to enrage me even more. I need a Lime-a-Rita, stat! 

ETA: I looked at her web page where it boldly states on the front page that she doesn't take her dogs to the vet because "that's where sick dogs go." Translation: She doesn't take her dogs to the vet because it costs money. She also encourages others to vaccinate at home. (You can buy the vacs online!) HOLY SHIT. What a piece of crap. Shame on her -- and shame on anyone who perpetuates her money-making operation and misery of her uncared for animals.

Just rewatched that now and ... YES ^^^. She looked like Jackie Stallone's twin sister. Jackie Stallone is like, 95. Also, both litigants were clinically insane and I thank god I don't live in their neighborhood.

Can someone explain the First World Problem incurred by today's litigant and his $200 jeans? I couldn't make any sense of it. Also, I'm sure all of that dude's jeans cost $200 (I can't see him wearing $35 Levis from Kohls for some reason) so everyday he puts his pants on he risks a potential lawsuit against everyone. I have expensive jeans, too -- but I don't leave the house with the expectation they're gonna get treated like gold. At the end of the day, they're still JEANS.

My thought was this was just some d-bag who wanted to get on tv...if this was even a real case.

They were $300 jeans.  I would never expose $300 jeans to a possible spill of anything from a manicure..  I think maybe he was a model?  But still, arguing that the FIT would be different now?

I saw that episode. Nutcase had the nerve to say she sold "purebred" Pyrenoodles. How can a mixed breed ever be called a purebred?  Plus, when Noodlehead said "Purebred," I immediately thought of Underdog's girlfriend, Polly Purebred. 

Have to give Pyrebrain credit for an innovative scam.  Take deposits for puppies with no clear timeframe of when they'll be delivered and when the victim asks for a refund, stand by your no deposits refunded policy and tell him or her to pound sand.  Masterful.

I think if I added up the value of all the jeans I own, the value would be less than $300. But I'm not a model.

Or to paraphrase what my husband would say, "If he paid $300 for those jeans, there must have been $250 in the pocket."  (Usually spoken when referring to my desire to buy a Michael Kors purse.  LOL.)

I have no problem with $300 jeans. If you have the money, spend it how you want and if it's raw denim he might not be wrong about the fit. But, you have to me a moron to wear your fancy clothes to a salon. I'm not saying dress like a schlub but I never wear my nicest things on mani/pedi day because accidents can and do happen. If you chose to wear $300 jeans to a place where you know there are chemicals splashing about, you are taking the risk if something happens. The salon paid to clean the jeans. That was enough.

raw denim

So I looked up raw denim and it seems to me it's the same denim Levis used to manufacture in the 80s. I always wore Levis and remember buying these stiff-as-a-board jeans that were dark, dark, blue and over time, and with washing, they'd fade and whisker.

They were $20. 

[Brattinella]

I miss real Levis.

[pagooey]

I had a pair of Levis in the 80s that I had custom-pegged (oh, 80s!) by a professional seamstress (!!). And then I wore them to rags, and then one of my best friends, a pretty capable seamstress herself, patched them with lurid fabric scraps from her own sewing projects. So I had a dolphin appliqueed onto the back pocket, knee and butt patches of tropical fruit, alphabet-print from a toddler's outfit, etc. They continued to rip around the patches, and so I wore them with colorful tights underneath, to remain decent in public. I was 18 and I thought I was the HOTTEST of Hot Shit. (Where did you think you were coming today, pagooey, a grunge club?) Oy, the only way I could wear those insane pants today would be as a colorful scarf. Wish I had that waistline back, if not the pants. 

</pants> JJ's digression into the difference between a paraffin treatment and waxing for hair removal was...probably more than I wanted to know that she knew?

[Quof]

I didn't want to know that the plaintiff knew. 

[seacliffsal]

That jeans plaintiff was scamming from the beginning.  Part of his lawsuit was for pain and suffering from the parrafin.  That's why JJ asked about his non-existent medical records.  It was pretty funny when he couldn't at first find the place where the parrafin had spilled on his jeans.

On one of today's episodes, a women who left her belongings for 7 months in a garage was suing the new renter who threw out all the leftover junk (hers and other people's) when he started paying rent.  Ridiculous.  I was so glad JJ shut that down, and the women couldn't believe that she lost.

It does. Back in the dark ages, that's how I  and everyone I know was raised. A dog bit me? My mother would just ask what I did wrong, and not call the police and a lawyer. The parents who gave permission to their 7-year old to cross the street (child was coached to lie - "I looked both ways" - which is why JJ stopped questioning her, I think) want to blame someone else because she got hit by a car. Your kid - your responsibility. What a concept. They certainly wasted no time running to a lawyer, hoping for a big jackpot I guess. Lawyer realized it was a waste of time but still they want the small claims maximum, because it's not up to them to make sure their kid doesn't run into the street, is it?

Yep.  The way it worked out, the defendant really won.  He only had to pay plaintiff $1000 instead of $5000.  So the parents were 4/5 responsible.

[AuntiePam]

The little girl hit by a car -- so the reason the attorney didn't pursue it was because the driver wasn't negligent?  JJ questioned his insurance, but in my experience, if you have a license and you're driving someone else's car, if that car is covered, then you're covered.  I've driven other people's cars and they've driven mine, and it's always been okay.

[SandyToes]

Yeah, that whole thing was a little hinky. I'm guessing the lawyers passed for both reasons - not really the defendant's fault, and no big insurance payout? And also probably not likely plaintiffs would be able to pay legal fees if they lost.  Odd that neither party had any documents to support insurance/lawyer claims/decisions.  But a good looking, polite group all around. Two days in a row I've been impressed with the litigants.  Wait - what happened to my show?!?!
