That'll explain it.

Never heard of him.

i have dug up a few little known facts about our good fried cat tribe:

** he received his law degree by correspondence course from liberty university. he was not in the top 10% of his class.

** He was so down-and-out after he passed the bar that he had to take the job vacated by clarence thomas when he was appointed to the eeoc.


**before posting an important post here, he calls his mom on the phone and runs it by her first. she often has to correct his logic.


** he has stolen all his best debate points from corneliu.

Cat-Tribes is so old, his/her Bar Card is #11.

But seriously...Cat Tribes is so old, his/her first motion was filed on a stone tablet.

Cat-Tribes is so committed to social justice, he/she marched for the civil rights. Of slaves. In Rome.

Aw, dude, aw...the harshness...the harshness...

Okay......

Lawyers and Engineers

An engineer died and reported to the pearly gates. An intern angel, filling in for St. Peter, checked his dossier and grimly said, "Ah, you're an engineer; you're in the wrong place."

So the engineer was cast down to the gates of hell and was let in. Pretty soon, the engineer became gravely dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and began designing and building improvements. After a while, the underworld had air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators, and the engineer was becoming a pretty popular guy among the demons.

One day, God called Satan up on the telephone and asked with a sneer, "So, how's it going down there in hell?"

Satan laughed and replied, "Hey, things are going great. We've got air conditioning and flush toilets and escalators, and there's no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next."

God's face clouded over and he exploded, "What? You've got an engineer? That's a mistake; he should never have gotten down there; send him up here."

Satan shook his head, "No way. I like having an engineer on the staff, and I'm keeping him."

God was as mad as he had ever been, "This is not the way things are supposed to work and you know it. Send him back up here or I'll sue."

Satan laughed uproariously, "Yeah, right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?"
However, TCT should remain in purgatory here at NSG.....we need him!! :)

Cat-Tribe was halfway through swallowing a steel pole before someone explained to him that "passing the bar" doesn't work that way.


LONG LIVE THE TRIBE!

So why are doing this if I may ask?

TCT deserves our respect, so let's roast the bastard. Get in line and pay your respects or burn in hell. :)

Love ya, TCT.

What is a roast?

Cat-Tribes is the very probably the most intelligent nation here (though he generally disagrees with me). All hail Cat-Tribes.

Cat Tribes has been around nationstates so long, his post count is in scientific notation.

Cat Tribes has been around so long, he appealed the expulsion from paradise. He lost only from inexperience, it being only his 4th case.

So why are doing this if I may ask?

A roast is a ceremonious ribbing of a well-loved and respected individual, the good natured jibes meant to underscore that the person is well-regarded and considered enough of a sport to laugh at themselves.

Except for the Pam Anderson roast. That was just a titfest.

The Cat-Tribe is from the same region as I do, and despite our differences in opinion (though I hadn't had a debate with her), I'm proud of that TSPer!

(ash, TCT is a male? always thought it's a she... darn, I'm wrong again....)

Oh. Uh...Cat-Tribe, you think everybody's the same to the extent that if I noticed a difference in skin-shade, you'd say I was racist.

How's that?

where is TCT? Did anyone invite him to his own roast?

Close...maybe "Cat Tribes is so sensitive to social and cultural issues, he makes Morris Dees look like David Duke."

The only worthy response to a post by TCT is..
"Source?"

Really?

In my experience, Cat Tribes spends more time citing then a Sniper with parkinsons.

Damn, that doesn't really work well in print, does it...

Exactly, thats why it is an insult, which we all know is completely false, and hence a compliment in some backwards sort of way.

*roasts TCT*

he has always been that way.

back on the first day of kindergarten when his teacher wrote on the chalk board "A is for Apple" he demanded proof.

Ah, gotcha, cool.

Cat Tribe's LSAT score was so bad, Thomas M. Cooley was his reach school.

he has always been that way.

HEHEHEHE!

Kindergarten Teacher: Now, children, its never nice to hit.

5 y/o Cat-Tribes: While I applaud the peaceful sentiment, I don't think you're really considering the complexity of use-of-force law. The obvious context of self-defense aside, there are many conceivable scenarios where...

I'd like to talk about one caring, intelligent, modest, and charming NSG poster........ But this roast is for Cat-Tribe, so that's out...

When I first read one of his posts, I had absolutely ZERO respect for him... Since then, however, my respect for him has increased to a billion times that...

He is a regular fixture in here, he is to NSG what muck and feces are to a pig farm... We would be unable to function properly without him.

Seriously though... NSG would not be the same without him... And I hope he remains a regular poster here for years more.

Wow, actually used the traditional roast style...nicely done.

You can summon him by talking negatively (or ignorantly it seems after he's done with them) about Affirmative Action .. and many.. many other subjects that often have a connection to minorities (especially blacks). :p

Oh.. and I like Cat Tribe. He's a cool cat, man!

"The Cat-Tribe" is actually an anagram of Antonin Scalia. This may seem odd, considering Scalia's conservatism and the spelling of his name, but keep in mind the Supreme Court justice is an idiot.

The Cat-Tribe's TV show is Dog the Bounty Hunter.

*fixed*

The Cat-Tribe's favorite TV show is Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Did he leave the game, or something? :confused:

Did he leave the game, or something? :confused:

No, worse. In a parallel dimension, where dogs evolved into the dominant species of the planet, the Constitution was amended to prohibit indiginous cat groups from forming family units, or "tribes", and one of the amendment's enumerated elements was that "cat tribes shall cease to exist, binding across all dimensions".

Cat Tribe then just disappeared.

Little known fact-

The Cat-Tribes is in fact Hamilton Berger, the real Hamilton Berger upon who the famous courtroom wiping boy for Perry Mason was based.

It is the source of some of his notable traits: His distaste for 'usual theatrics,' his obsessive citing of precedent (seriously, Your Honor-are you really going to let Mr. Mason make his blond man-god private investigator pose as a woman to trick the witness? Surely there are boundaries? Why in SoandSo vs SuchandSuch...), and of course his love of cats as a source of solace after only winning a single case which was later over turned. He should have known better, seeing as it happened early in the episode.

It is in fact why he comes here to make us all Hamilton Berger to his Perry Mason.

*applause*

I have a lot of respect for The Cat-Tribe.

Anyone who can quote other people's opinions so extensively must be smart.

And TCT has an astounding ability to make it really obvious that idiotic arguments are idiotic arguments. I think it's probably because he realizes that idiots need help with making sure their idiocy expresses itself well. They're not smart enough to do it properly, so he generously pitches in.

A little known fact about CatTribe is that Arrested Development's Barry Zuckerkorn character was based entirely on Cat's actions in and around court.

*blushes*

I want to thank everyone for the funny jokes, praise, and clever insults.

I wish I could come up with witty rejoinders, but I'm at a loss for words. (Probably a first for NSG.)

Thanks again.

*runs away*

** he has stolen all his best debate points from corneliu.

LMAO!!! :D

TCT actually had his internal organs replaced with the precedent of him being alive.

You're not even going to respond to the implication that your arguments are co-opted from Corneliu?

...

...omg, Ash was right! :eek: We didn't listen! WE DIDN'T LISTEN!!!

TCT is so exhaustive in his critiquing and debunking of his opponents that his posts often rival Jocabia's in length.

This is both true, and shocking.

Of course by post, Dues means penis. That has nothing to do with TCT though. TCT could cite cases on case citing. He's also a midget.

I can't tell any anecdotes about TCT. Court order. He actually slept with the judge to get it, you know?

Fuck
*is hauled off by police*

roast?

i've got a torch, but i'm not into asking people to take showers with Zyklon B


that crap i saw on tv once?
no thanks. nothing funny about it.
not into celebrity bullshit.
they're a part of the problem that leads to things like wars in Iraq.
distractions.
pop culture is the "opium of the masses"
feed us just enough to take the 'edge' off the daily grind.
what couldn't be more sinister than that?
make us like it.
what? job? "i love making someone else rich".
"it's what we're born and bred to do" hehe.

how about 'owning' and operating our places of 'work' democratically along with our other coworkers.
'your boss needs you, you don't need your boss'
nothing beats telling that absentee owner he needs to get a job working with you because he's got to do his part to contribute.
having a piece of paper in his pocket just doesn't get those knick-knacks built.

As a school assignment, I once had to read War and Peace. I thought it was the longest, driest piece of literature that I would ever read in my life -- until I chanced across one of TCT's posts, that is. But, really, TCT contributes more to this forum than any other poster I know (as long as that contribution is measured in gigabytes of text).

If you need a refresher course in legal matters, he's your go-to guy; but if you just need a quick overview, it'd be faster to read all 220 years' worth of Supreme Court verdicts. I mean, for most users, I measure the quality of their posts by how well they've presented their thesis; but for TCT's posts, I base it on how long I can keep myself awake while reading them.

^^^ TCT's actual writing style. In truth...

I remember this one time I was at a party with Cat Tribes. He was so drunk he was leaning on me for support, vomiting every other minute, covering the floors with the putrid mess. The hosts didn't care though. He was also smoking a gigantic Cuban cigar, and I do mean gigantic: it was half the size of his face!

You know what he said to me then? He said, and I quote, "Lawyers suck ass."

That's right people. He insulted his job. Bad form. Bad form.

Did I do that right? I've never roasted someone before.

Look at Hammurab's posts for how a roast should be done -- it's supposed to be a pithy joke. Think Colbert at the press correspondents' dinner.

You're confusing the hell out of me. Shouldn't you be making some outlandish thread for us to turn into a 40-page long circular mess?

Ah, come on. Once in a while he's allowed to break character and make a helpful comment.

Thanks for the advice, F&G.

This one time, at Lawyer Camp, TCT got dirty with my father. My Great Great Great Great Grandfather.

Yeah, John Jay bitches!

TCT was 24 when he passed the BAR.
It was the first and only time he'd ever passed a bar.

C.T. doesn't really stand for "Cat-Tribe", it is a convenient cover story to hide his real identity: Clarence Thomas.

It is Caturday!
