This week on Weird and Wacky Wednesdays we’re looking at mascot incidents. I was in Atlanta recently and I managed to take in several Braves games. The Braves mascot, Blooper, has been in the news this week because of a Twitter spat with the Philly Phanatic.

Years ago, I was approached to do a TV series about my lawyer life. At the time I was so focused on matters that were headed to the Court of Appeal that I didn’t give it much thought. But I’d love to do something about fast food and restaurants because there are always interesting legal issues arising from the food world. Over the summer fast-food law ended up being a theme on my blog. Here we are in October and Weird and Wacky Wednesdays is once again the “Food Law Blog.”

Usually we get most of our Weird and Wacky Wednesdays from Florida, but today we have all three stories from the land down under, Australia! Hemispheres don’t matter when it comes to unexpected and unbelievable. Their stories are just as weird and wacky if not more than the usual ones that we get on our weekly roundup. It’s good to see that we are all really just same, regardless of accents and distance. For this week, we have snakes on a surfboard, a post-post-post-partum lawsuit and a meth experiment gone wrong.

With the return of kids to school, for most of us the summer, and tourist season, has come to a close. Some of our Weird and Wacky Wednesday stories are inevitably about people on vacation doing stupid things, and we tend to focus on stupid things they do in the US. Today we’d like to challenge the assertion that American tourists are the stupidest by looking at some of the horrible things people from other nations have done.

Summer is ending and in Vancouver it feels like summer stopped yesterday with the first cool, rainy day of the season. Many welcome the end of summer and the coming of long-needed rain. I like it hot. When the summer stops abruptly, I grieve just a little. But I understand how people feel. Sometimes you just want it to stop. This week we are stopping our summer review of weird and wacky food-law stories and looking at cases where people just want it to stop.

I consider myself a foodie. I like to cook, I like to go out to eat and I like to watch competitive cooking shows. I noted over the summer, Weird and Wacky Wednesdays often dealt with food crimes. If I could go back to law school, I might have specialized in “food law.” If this isn’t a recognized area of the law, I could make it one just like I invented “Driving Law” about a decade ago.
This week we’re still dealing with food, but this time it’s fast-food lawsuits.

It’s hot in many places. And it’s important to control your anger. This week we have three wacky stories where people failed to control their anger, behaved badly according to the stories and now have the police on their case. Of course, everyone charged is presumed innocent. They are not presumed to be level-headed, however. The lesson from these stories is that, even if it’s hot outside, try to keep your cool.
