June 04, 2012. Some context:
BarBri has been having issues with its AMP software.
BarBri lecturer David G. Epstein uses the phrase "Armadillos From Texas Play Rap, Eating Tacos" as a mnemoic for the major areas of contract law: Applicable law, Formation, Terms, Performance, Remedies, Excused performance, and Third party issues. His hypos almost always involve grits, his 1973 Cadillac, Sharon Stone, Kinky Friedman, or Professor Richard J. Conviser.
Under the Uniform Commercial Code, in a shipment contract, the risk of loss passes from seller to buyer when the seller (1) gets the goods to a common carrier, (2) makes reasonable arrangements for delivery, and (3) notifies the buyer. The phrase F.O.B., followed by the seller's location, indicates a shipment contract.
Armadillo
Brown Rabbit: BarBri AMP is down again!
This is outrageous! What
are we paying them for?
End of panel.
Negligent Lop: We did get an armadillo
from Texas who performs
rap and eats tacos.
End of panel.
Armadillo: Alright, hit me.
Armadillo: Contract with Conviser,
sold a bag full of grits
He calls me to complain,
"Boy, what the hell is this?"
End of panel.
Armadillo: Says on inspectin' the sack,
he saw rats takin' a piss.
But my grits weren't shit
when the carrier shipped it
Armadillo: So I say, "F.O.B. me,
it's a shipment contract.
I gave you grits in a sack,
you owe me a Cadillac."
End of panel.
Armadillo: If you having contract problems,
I feel bad for you son.
I got 99 problems,
but a breach ain't one.
*munch*
*munch*
The armadillo eats the taco.
