Sometimes, awesome

Most of the time, case law is pretty tedious. Once in awhile, though, the jurists break through their boring, robot-like (if robots practiced in circuitous, convoluted thought) shells and produce writing worth a smile or two:

Like a 19th-Century itinerant peddler, appellant Boot Hughston arrived in Mendocino County in the summer of 2006 to sell his wares. Instead of pushing a cart, he drove a rented Hummer, and in place of pots, pans and other dry goods, he sold illegal drugs.
