These are little graphics you can add to your signature (in the User Control Panel), if you need help, ask.
Example: I need help figuring out what this first one is.

Whoa, that wasn't so hard.
Remember, these are TOTALLY OPTIONAL, if you'd like to use them go right ahead (as long as appropriate). I personally don't use them, but YOU are invited to if you'd like, or if not, never mind.
Anyway, here are the others:
This one is "boots on the ground" for people who have attended a Fogbow-related court hearing in person.

This one still applies to a few people here: those who attended a court hearing where Orly Taitz was the attorney present for the plaintiff.

This was for someone who not only attended a court hearing, they gave us a detailed fashion report on the participants. Sugar Magnolia inspired this one, I was laughing for days.

Sometimes people used to give us really complete, professional reports from the hearing they saw. Wavey Davey set the standard here, a complete non-attorney who gave us a report on Orly's first court hearing in the California federal court. When we later got a transcript, all the lawyers were stunned how complete and accurate he'd been. If you did that, back in the day, you know who you are and can award this one to yourself. Who knows? Maybe we'll have sovcit trials upcoming and might need this in the future.

This one was pretty much for realist only. It's called "Suck Egg Court Reporter" because of a wisecrack I made in a former lifetime when I used to call a lot of things suck-egg this and suck-egg that. But this one stuck, to my horror, and I was pretty much forced to deal with it. I didn't even say it about realist, I was talking about suck-egg court reporters in general. For the record, realist is an enormously competent court reporter and he actually pays attention when he takes notes, so not only did he end up with perfect transcripts of depositions and court hearings and such, but he learned more law than about 99% of people who have gone to law school but haven't many years of practice. Funny how much you can pick up if you're smart and keep your ears open.
