First, Let's Kill all the (Aforesaid) Lawyers

yea, verily ...

I was looking forward looking out over my land fronting upon the street to watch it the aforementioned snow fall, but said memo took all the fun out of it.

I wish afornotmentioned Montclair would get their act together on enforcing this ordinance.

Y'all better get some sand, or burn something & save the ashes, right quick. Salt alone doesn't cut it.

You wouldn't want to violate an ordinance now would you?

Its great you can put ashes out. Me and my buds will smoke a few packs of Kools to clear up the for you.

I'm was gonna use the ashes from the leftovers of what my buddywas supposed to have..but he just got busted with, like, pounds of the stuff...

So dude, is cat litter ok? Or am I gonna get a summons for that too?

I can't decide if I'm an owner, occupant or agent.

Where you been Walleroo?

Give me a break. Can they translate the legalize first then drop the technolegal on us. Its like a bad joke.

it means shovel the snow off your walks and don't throw it in the street asshat

whoever wrote that should be "leveled" along with the snow sent to the street!

I'm against killing lawyers.

I guess that this:

Doesn't apply to this:

"Let's Kill..."?

What?...Am I missing something?

I don't like many of the opinions on this site but this is over the edge!

PS- And I'm not a lawyer.

Yeah, you're missing the Shakespearean allusion. Look it up.

it's from shakespear, people

from Henry VI part 2

is it going to even snow?

I'll believe it when I see it!!!

Seems that we should be looking beyond the ordinance's somewhat baroque and archaic language and focusing instead on its admirable intent, which is to ensure that it's safe to walk on sidewalks in the winter.

Bloomfield/GlenRidge/Montclair are fairly unique in NJ in that they're pedestrian--friendly; an important component of these towns' desireability and a big reason why so many of us live here instead of postwar burbs in Bergen County. The "aforementioned" ordinance is an important reminder of this region's historic commitment to pedestrian rights.

As for the ordinance's reference to ashes, which seems to have elicited considerable mirthfulness, most houses in Baristaville originally burned ash--generating coal for heat. Many continued to do so well into the 1960's since coal was so cheap and allowed people to hold onto houses which in that era were considered hopelessly outdated, uneconomical white elephants.

So unless one believes that municipal councilpeople should spend their time re-drafting ordinances every time an insignificant reference in them becomes technologically obsolete, the Glen Ridge ordinance sounds pretty reasonable to me.

I bar-b-cue a lot and have lots of ashes. Anyone want to purchase said ashes?

There are no aforesaids in our comment policy. And, yes, our headline (which is from Shakespeare and was a joke) should not be considered a request or endorsement of any of our readers to inflict actual physical harm on any member of the legal profession, past, present or fictional. Well, maybe fictional.

Hello there, Liz. I've been picking lots of potatoes, hauling lots of trash, digging out the gunk, and napping. I'd have posted earlier, but as somebody once said, a pen is a very heavy object, paper is very hard to find, and the table often collapses under the weight of one's elbows. Or somesuch. Same applies to the keyboard.

I will stop shoveling my snow into the street the day that the town stops plowing the snow from the street into my driveway.

A French lawyer must have written this:

“said” street – “said” land

All residents are advised to make all reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate equipment for the removal of frozen and/or semi-frozen precipitate has been made ready or, if not immediately available at or near such resident's dwelling unit, that procurement of such frozen precipitate removal equipment be effected promptly.

(i.e., get your shovels or snowblowers out or buy one)

Be sure to look at the local ordinances for the municipal meeting tonight. Interesting that a new bond has appeared.

Instead of killing them all right away, let's make them clean up the snow! Then we can kill them.

"Someone else said it first".................
"It was a joke"....................................

We know have the first defense of "actions that (may) threaten a third party"
Did a lawyer draft this? Cause I think the judge has heard it before.

Does this mean if I slip and fall on some ice in front of some rich farts house who didn't bother to cover it with sand,salt, or ash that I can sue the bastid?

Man the shovels, snow blowers and salt! Here comes the mess! Call your lawyer! (But find somebody other than appletony, whom I hereby retain as my own personal tort dude.)
