5 ways to interpret this blog name

Now replace “Marcus Miller” with “Blog.”

Dear readers,

Law school is tough, and sometimes, in the flurry to interpret statutes and grasp holdings from cases, we forget how to read.

Here are a few sample interpretations of this blog title, for your convenience.

Love,

Marcus Miller Blog 

1. As if admonishing a small child or medium-sized dog:

I said “suddenly,” Blog! How many times do I have to tell you? Eat your vegetables in a less predictable manner! 

2. As a closing salutation in a letter written by Blog (child or dog): 

Dear Friend,

I love cutting conversations short.

Suddenly,

Blog

3. As part of an unfinished list:

There are three words in this blog title: suddenly, blog, 

4. As a proper noun:

My favorite thing in the world is Suddenly, (the) blog, not the valley.¹

5. And, of course, the obvious:

From out of nowhere, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s—suddenly—Blog!

¹So. Excited. For. This. Movie.² And. Extra. Season. Also. I. Enjoy. Punctuation.

²I’m aware the original joke referred to “Sudden Valley,” not “Suddenly Valley.” Believe me, I am more well-versed in Arrested Development trivia than I am in any subject of the law.³

³Except traffic law. I aced my driving permit test so hard. High point of my entire test-taking career, and I didn’t even have to map out games on a chart.⁴

⁴Five friends have five cars and five destinations. David does not drive a brown car to the grocery store. Actually, none of them do because these people don’t exist and this is a terrible practice problem and the LSAT has been over for years so, everyone, please stop talking about your scores.
