Brits Blitz Blawg Review

Shameless Anglophile WAC? spends time in England each year working. And studying London, old churches in Suffolk and Kent, Druids, Vikings, Sutton Hoo and a girl named Devon in nearby Aldeburgh. WAC? now even has a thing for British lawyer-bloggers--who are funnier and less inhibited than most U.S. blawgers. So we are happy and honored that two good Brit law blogs, nearlylegal and Corporate Blawg UK, will be hosting the U.S.-based Blawg Review on, respectively, July 2 and 9.

Is this a trend? Is Blawg Review starting to include non-U.S. legal weblogs? Are German blawgs next? Some French sites?

Update: The Generation X Light Bulb Riddle Contest....New Deadline is July 9

There is still time to enter the historic GenX feeling-good-about-me/it-is-never-my-fault multi-tasking "light bulb" riddle competition:

"How many Generation X associate lawyers does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

Due to the growing interest in our contest (about 15 entries to date--okay so it's just 5 or 6), WAC? is extending the deadline. New deadline for submissions is July 9. Winner will be announced on July 13.

A few people claimed or implied in e-mails that the contest is un-PC, rife with generalities and critical of younger people. That it makes fun of work-life balance. Well, it is. It does. But that doesn't mean it's not fun. And have you tried to get any of these narcissistic spoiled twits between the ages of 25 and 40 to do some work lately?
