My name is Tom Servo, Esq. You may remember me as a character from one of the best television shows of all time, Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). After the Satellite of Love returned to the Earth in 1999, I decided to pursue my first love, the law. I enrolled at the Liberty University School of Law and earned my juris doctorate in 2006 after 6 years of part time classes. During that time, I supported myself as a line cook at Chuck E. Cheese in Roanoke and pursued, chased even, my third love, small children.
Actually, I hate the little buggers; but I do like food. And Chuck E. Cheese was the only place that would hire a 2.5 foot tall gumball machine. When I graduated from Liberty University School of Law in 2006 and tried to get a job in my hometown Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, I realized why they were the only place to respond to my 35 law school applications (each with their $75 fee attached). The damn school isn't accredited.
Now, after passing the Virginia bar exam, I have to practice law in Virginia for 5 years until I can practice anywhere else. For the time being, I practice law in Virginia and try to make it home to Pennsylvania as often as I can. Sometimes, if the work is slow, I'll pick up a few shifts at Chuck E. Cheese on the side. I sometimes dream of opening my own restaurant in Pennsylvania.
November 10, 2011. It couldn't come soon enough.
In the meantime, I will be posting things on this blog to keep in touch with those of you at home and as an extension of my ongoing pursuit of my three loves (currently, in no particular order), food, movies and the law (which occasionally include politics).

FINALLY! I've only been refreshing this page for five days waiting for your anticipated debut.
I can't wait to only understand 1/3 of what you post! (and then have MLW ask if I know what you're talking about...and then tell her yes, but I can't explain it to her)
So, maybe I went a little overboard with the backstory. It will provide a lot of good material for the future. If you are wondering, I am still working on the idea I mentioned before; here I thought somebody might be interested in my origins, my HISSTORY. I guess not.
And I am contributing suburban mediocrity? I'll have you know, sir, that I only deal in townie mediocrity. Or do I have to remind MLW where I live (is it YLW or MLW?)?
If you are wondering . . . yes, I did buy that word from the gloved one, for five bucks. Times are hard.
Never misread my ball busting as not being a fan of your townie roots.
It's YLW to you Tom.
Or PCHS (possibly crazy house stalker). Whichever you prefer.
Ironically enough, she may just become CW to me. And I'm not talking about the television channel.
