If you are not anal enough to have your SAT scores, STILL, you are not anal enough to be a copy editor. Sorry.

How is it possible to be photogenic AND still have one's SAT scores after [number deleted] years?

Paigs,

When I want to, I'll debate with you. But right now, I'm just jumping in occasionally and hanging some footnote type observations on the conversation.

Yes, it does work with the judge. Because in that scenario we at DB&C give a shit, and actually prepare. Here, I couldn't give a rat's ass whether you think me brilliant or a mongoloid. Performing well in debate or maintaining consistency in discussion so as to impress others with the organizational capacities of your mind in this forum is like trying to hit the longest drive on the range.*

I attempt to direct the thread from time to time because I want to discuss something else.

What can I say, I'm selfish,
SD

*In fact, that analogy is generous.

This word has confused me for a long time. Just when I think it has something to do with mental retardation or Down's syndrome or some other "defect" I see it used to describe someone from Mongolia. Am I confusing two separate words and just don't realize it?

references
 

So if you have good references, do you include them on the cover letter, or do you just hope they'll ask?

I believe people from Mongolia are referred to as Mongolians.

And that SD is a racist fuck. And hates people who happen to have more chromosomes than he does.

I looked this up and it is both. http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/mongoloid

That seems strange to me. And rude and racist.

Please be kidding.

Happily, the photogenic requirement was not for the same employer as the one requiring SAT scores. I mean, I can remember the ballpark figure, but wtf? How is that relevant after you've been through college, law school and a [number deleted]-year career?

Pikers.

OK, but you understand that by this standard, Paigow rarely holds a driver, preferring instead to spend her mulligans around the green, right?

Twenty one years produces life in being. (spree: sperm, news)

How many opportunities do you get to make a RAP joke?

Are you kidding? You work in a field where people remember their Little League batting averages. It's relevant because theirs might be bigger than someone else's.

That is a completely fucking reCOCKulous position.

And no, I obviously don't have a 4.0 from HLS.

Plus, what if you took the ACT instead? What then?

In other news, I am somewhat disappointed that Not Bob & Associates LLP was not one of the firms looking for associates that was mentioned by paigow in her slam of coltrane.

For the record, NB&A (an equal opportunity employer) welcomes inquiries from all potential lateral associates. We won't bother reading your writing sample because we know that you will pay atticus to write it and dtb to edit it, but will check to make sure that you are actually admitted to practice law in the state of Podunk (Fenwick came up with this idea after seeing that Tom Hanks/Leonardo Dicaprio movie a couple of years ago).

Pay and benefits are competitive, and you only have to split your tips with the copy chick and the donut delivery guy. (The weird old guy who updates the loose-leaf reporters in the library will tell you otherwise, but don't listen to him.)

I see a bunch of bench warmers if you ask me. Just my opinion, but the kids who put up serious numbers appear to have stayed the fuck away from this disfunctional ship of defective twists.
