You can literally make any bill fail in the USA if you add a rider to it stating that this bill will additionally "Require gun owners to pay a 1 cent tax on every box of ammo to fund the provision" and the NRA will literally throw millions of dollars and a 2 year long campaign as well as lobbying every single congressmen and senator in the USA to ensure it doesn't pass.
And on the inverse...

I'm gonna guess it was more along the lines of intentional. He didn't let them know he was in there while they closed up shop.

ED: You see a well groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you
see a gazebo.
ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it?
ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric.
ERIC: How far away is it?
ED: About 50 yards.
ERIC: How big is it?
ED: (Pause) It's about 30 ft across, 15 ft high, with a pointed top.
ERIC: I use my sword to detect good on it.
ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo.
ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it.
ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo.
ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it
respond in any way?
ED: No, Eric, it's a gazebo!
ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (roll to hit). What happened?
ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?
ED: OF COURSE NOT, ERIC! IT'S A GAZEBO!
ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a +3 arrow!
ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a GAZEBO! If you really want to try to
destroy it, you could try to chop it with an axe, I suppose, or you
could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try.
It's a @#$%!! gazebo!
ERIC: (Long pause. He has no axe or fire spells.) I run away.
ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo.
It catches you and eats you.
ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so
I can avenge my Paladin.

Call me "pixeltits"

I find myself wondering why nobody thought to ask Eric if he knew what a gazebo was, especially after "I call out to it".

To be fair, "gazebo" does kind of sound like it could be a D&D monster, if you're the kind of grognard who knows more about imaginary worlds than the real one.

Because that's not an exact transcript of a real conversation. When people recount stories they embellish for humorous effect. :ssh:

The suspect told police ‘give me a lawyer dog.’ The court says he wasn’t asking for a lawyer.

Tom Jackman posted:

when a suspect in an interrogation told detectives to “just give me a lawyer dog,” the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled that the suspect was, in fact, asking for a “lawyer dog,” and not invoking his constitutional right to counsel.

...

Orleans Parish Assistant District Attorney Kyle Daly responded in his brief that Demesme’s “reference to a lawyer did not constitute an unambiguous invocation of his right to counsel, because the defendant communicated that whether he actually wanted a lawyer was dependent on the subjective beliefs of the officers.” Daly added, “A reasonable officer under the circumstances would have understood, as [the detectives] did, that the defendant only might be invoking his right to counsel.”

Air Bud again proves prescient. There's no rule against a dog being a lawyer so it was clearly a reasonable interpretation.

Apparently when the defendant's lawyer asked "Can I approach the bench?", the judge said "I don't know; can you?" and held him in contempt.
