Overshare: CTF IS GOING TO JAAAIIIILLLLL!

Is it just me, or have we heard this all before?

Anonymous: Again? Wait, what happened now?
Overshare: Oh, I can't even talk about it. It's THAT bad.
Anonymous: Oh. Well...
Overshare: So, you remember all the drama, right? The flask and the hearing and the crazy-ass judge?
Anonymous: Oh, I remember.
Overshare: Remember his very first court date?
Anonymous: Yep.
Overshare: Well, ever since that first trial, he's been going to court-ordered psych sessions, and his counselor guy started to think that he was withholding something, which is complete nonsense. CTF hasn't done ANYTHING wrong since then. Anything. But the guy won't believe him, so he totally reported back to the first judge that CTF should be ordered to take a lie detector test! And so now he TOTALLY HAS to take this stupid thing.
Anonymous: Wow.
Overshare: Oh, that's not even the worst part.
Anonymous: Oh?
Overshare: Nope. The worst part?
Anonymous: Yes?
Overshare: CTF totally WANTED to take the test, begged his lawyer to let him take it, because he DIDN'T. DO. ANYTHING. But his lawyer made this huge stink about the whole thing, how it's a violation of his civil rights, yadda yadda. And that just pissed off the judge.
Anonymous: So what's the big deal? He's taking the test, just like he wanted.
Overshare: Yes, but NOW that the lawyer made such a big thing about it, the judge is making CTF spend the night BEFORE in jail! And it's scheduled for the EXACT SAME DAY as the whole flask appeal thing in that other town!! He can't possibly do both!
Anonymous: Can't his lawyer ask to rearrange the appeal?
Overshare: Oh, yeah, because THAT judge was reasonable. He'll hear WHY we need to postpone the thing and flip right the hell out.
Anonymous: Wow.
Overshare, wailing: CTF IS GOING TO JAAAIILLLLLLLL! AGAIN!
