I'm not going to lie to you. Reading judicial opinions can get boring after a while. Fantastical things do come up, like the guy who saw this ad and thought it constituted an offer to sell a Harrier Jet for Pepsi Points (Leonard v. Pepsico, 210 F.3d 88).
But some cases just aren't fun to read. They're tedious and tiresome, especially when you've gone through four cases in a row and would rather be reading something else. You find ways to make them interesting, though. One of my favorite ways to do this is to picture the judges reading their opinions with the bombast of a professional wrestler giving a promo. So when a judge declares that a point or argument is immaterial (and follows that up with a page of explanation of why that point is beside the point), I picture them following in the footsteps of the Rock, raising their voice and declaring that "it doesn't matter!"
Hey, it beats coffee.
