February 9, 20214 yr "recording of this hearing or live stream is prohibited" yet here we are, a meme.
February 9, 20214 yr The judge in that case actually posted it to YouTube. I know that lawyer and he’s lucky the bars in Marfa and Alpine are mostly closed because he’s going to be meowed at relentlessly when they open back up.
February 9, 20214 yr I cracked up the second time through watching the reaction from the other attorney.
February 9, 20214 yr Some of the Twitter comments are gold. Obvious Meowpractice @Austinvinesbuy that guy a beer and tell him he's not the hero we wanted but the hero we needed. I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Edited February 9, 20214 yr by BearSchlong
February 9, 20214 yr Nothing but respect for Mr. Pontin. He went from total embarrassment to “I am prepared to go forward with it” in the space of thirty seconds.
February 10, 20214 yr Tears. That shouldn’t be that funny. He almost does a Hank Hill “bwaaaahhh!” Edited February 10, 20214 yr by HornsOverIthaca

I was on a conference with a bunch of attorneys and judges today....and that was absolutely where we all ended up (and several folks knew the lawyer at issue). We all found it hysterical.....and then admired him for the pure "fuck it, let's do this" attitude.
February 10, 20214 yr Texas monthly interviewed him. They eventually got the filter turned off, was using his assistants computer.Feel good story of the year so far.https://www.texasmonthly.com/news/best-thing-in-texas-cat-zoom-filter/
February 10, 20214 yr I’ve watched every meme video since the “I seen a leprechaun” and grape stomp lady were on 2004 YouTube. Without a doubt this is the one I’ve laughed the most/longest/hardest. Just completely captures the last 5 years perfectly.
February 10, 20214 yr Ha. I've had a battle with Mr. Ponton - he is a character. He's had a long career out there. Showed the Texas Rangers they were full of shit, so he's earned more than a little good will.
February 10, 20214 yr You may be big, but if you wanna see how bad you are, c’mon! You don’t run this deposition, do you understand? You watch and see big boy. You ain’t telling me a god damn thing. Don’t be telling another lawyer to shut up. That ain’t your god damn job fat boy!

February 10, 20214 yr Wow that is awesome. i’m wondering who the fuck his assistant is zooming with using a cat filter.
February 10, 20214 yr I've got an 8am zoom call with a new client. I hope I figure out the filter situation first.
February 10, 20214 yr Damnit, Norah O’Donnell, your writers set you up perfectly with “catastrophe” but you botched the delivery. Swing and a miss. Edited February 10, 20214 yr by WhatTheBuck
February 10, 20214 yr Had a guy I supervise join the morning zoom with his camera off, but we clearly all heard him flushing the toilet in the background. I’ve made clear to him that he’s already on pretty thin ice with regards to professionalism and attitude, I have no idea WTF he’s thinking with this.

So you just want him to leave a floater? make up you mind man!

If he called with the camera on while shitting, I’d congratulate him for being a total boss and look at him for management roles. But with it off, he just looks like a dipshit who forgot to mute.

February 10, 20214 yr Judge Jerry Buchmeyer is up above having a good laugh. His always entertaining column in the Texas Bar Journal was the first thing I would read.

February 10, 20214 yr My wife has been opposing council to Mr. Ponton a few cases. According to her, Ponton is renowned for being a horrible, lazy, unprepared, unprofessional, and just plain dumbass attorney. Even before this recent hilarity, he was a joke to my wife and her colleagues. Which makes this even funnier, because he really is that fucking stupid.

February 10, 20214 yr Just realized Judge Ferguson and I were in Longhorn Band together in the 80's, just "Roy" back then, acquaintances but not friends (sax and trumpet, oil and water...), small world.
February 11, 20214 yr Sent this to an attorney today. His response was “that’s hilarious and only a lawyer would be compelled to respond with ‘I’m not a cat’.” I still don’t know how those other people on the zoom weren’t laughing.
February 11, 20214 yr @Brisketexan or anone else. What’s the link for the other famous Texas depo? I can’t find it. Edit- never mind I found it Edited February 11, 20214 yr by justhookit

I was on a meet with a handful of teachers the other day. One could clearly hear one of the teacher's kids practicing on the trombone. It was truly god-awful. I had to keep moving myself out of view so nobody could see me laughing.
May 13, 20223 yr Le bump. My wife was deposing cat man's client yesterday by zoom, and apparently cat man just walked out in the middle of the depo, while his client was talking. His secretary said he had to go to court, and to carry on without him, and that she could let cat man know if anything important came up. edit: no he wasn't wearing his cat costume during the depo.
