About
The Common Scold



The Common Scold is named after a cause of action that originated in Pilgrim days, when meddlesome, argumentative, opinionated women who displeased the Puritan elders were punished by a brisk dunk in the local pond. Believe it or not, the tort lasted until 1972, when State v. Palendrano, 120 N.J. Super. 336, 293 A.2d 747 (N.J.Super.L., Jul 13, 1972) pretty much put it to rest. But the thought of those feisty women, not afraid of a little cold water, has always cheered me up and inspired me. I first used the moniker as the name of my humor column at the University of San Francisco School of Law many moons ago, and revive it now for this blawg!

CATCH PHRASE PLEASE!

Catch
Michael Kay's got his "SEE YA!"

•  John Sterling, well he's just way too theatrical for me with all that A-bomb from A-Rod and vibrato chest thumbing "The Yannnnnkeeees winnnnn" nonsense.
• SNL Weekend Update has it gooey "Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow."
• Edward R. Murrow had "Good Night, and Good Luck."
• Cronkite had "And that's the way it is."
• Probst has "The tribe has spoken."
• Then there's "Let's be careful out there" from  Hill Street Blues.

You get the picture. (Hat tip to TVland).

So I need your help.
I'm truly stumped. I need a catch phrase to end each episode of my Law Technology Now podcasts. And no, I don't want, "That's the Bay view" or similar thangs, and I kinda suspect people would not be enchanted by "Let's Go Yankees!"

Ideas????  Post a comment below, or e-mail me: commonscold@incisivemedia.com.

Winner gets a $25 iTunes card!

Update: Suggestions have been flying in!

So far, my favorite is from Avvo's Mark Britton: "Remember, 'technology' is Latin for profitability." Keep 'em comin'

From Rick Georges: There is not crying in baseball -- or technology. (love it)

From: John Jablonski: “Best tech, best talk”
 “Talk is cheap: legal tech talk is priceless”
 All tech, all the time, on demand: Legal Technology Now
 The voice of legal technology

Here are a few for you:

My number one choice is “I’m Monica Bay reminding you that technology is the solution!

Okay, okay try one of these:

•Good lawyering requires good technology.

•You can’t stand still and reach the future.

•You can only reach the future through technology.

Spin-off of Walter Cronkite:

"And that's the Bay it is!"

John Sterling would approve.

Posted by: Brett Owens | May 25, 2009 1:30:14 AM

OK... few off the top of my head:

*Monica Bay... connecting legal and technology in the here and now

*and this has been Monica Bay - your connection to the law and technology

*...Monica Bay ... sharing the law and technology ... right here, right now

"Monica Bay... Technically speaking, of course."

Posted by: Pamela Towan-deForce | May 28, 2009 9:13:54 PM

"Let's keep it legal"

"This is Monica Bay, helping you keep it legal."

"Charles Barkely is not a role model, but I am. And I'll be a role model to all his technology troubled lawyers"

I gotta admit that Dan had me at "Charles Barkley"...:) Seriously, my fave is Rick's " There is no crying in baseball -- or technology."
