WatchHe’s right, his name is Judge now.
Sling - My Name is Judge - Video clip from Arrested Development on Fox Television Classics
MY NAME IS JUDGE →
Oh boy.
Speaking of Arrested Development
My sister and I played a lot of Apples to Apples over Christmas vacation, and we learned that as the judging role roates, she and I both find it physically impossible not to say “my name is… Judge” multiple, multiple times throughout the game.
Never gets old.

Secret Santa Side-Note
I forgot to kinda explicitly say this here, but I’m in snowy upstate NY for Christmas, so I probably won’t get my secret santa gift until I get home this weekend (I get in Saturday, but my mail will catch up with me either that day or Monday since it’s on hold).
