Go back to your Harvard schtick, Sparky.

Thank you Lord.
In your subtle and mysterious way, you have reminded me of how much I really have, by reminding me of how great the challenge is, that you have placed on others.

Go bail him out and then let him find a real criminal lawyer.

I am a long time lurker who had a little used sock long ago but has decided to create a new persona, since my old one had no traction of which to speak and who would like to ask my fellow lawyers something? Like all of you, I take pride in possessing the requisite sensitivity and pc respect for other people and their religion and culture et al etc etc etc
As a college religion major I am possessed of plenty of cocktail party knowledge of the obscure customs and holidays that even the most learned senior partners wouldn’t know from a hole in the ground, yet really gets my goat is because I am from Cuba many ignoramuses make the habit of lumping me in with people of every perceived Hispanic culture. A junior colleague just came into my office with a document and asked if I spoke Spanish and could read it to him. Before I looked at it I asked him where it was from and he told me it was from a brazilian based client, which led me to correctly surmise that it was, DUH, in portugese. The irony is that one of the senior associates he is working on the matter with is from Portugal and speaks fluent portugese.

What the freak is the matter with these people? Are retarded are they?

Second question, I am stuck in the City for the holidays, i.e. not going home, and a former lawschool lover has invited me out for some holiday cheer tonight. I am not really interested other than after reading this board I wouldn’t mind a good pounding-hee hee, should I go, put up with the conversation and then let him take me at his place or just invite up to my office in 2 hours, pull out my secret stash of vodka for a celbratory martini and have him do me on the desk???

Hey. Sorry about that last post. My cousin's husband did that- wanker. In fact, every mean thing "Hank" said to nfh this year was from him. Check the dates, they all came during a holiday period. For 2005 I resolve to log off during family gathering- you deserve that much nfh.

Claiming that you're related to me is almost a paradigm of tortious damage to my personal reputation.

I only read the paragraph that had one line becuase ZI enjoy white space, I will tell you that it is ok to say "fuck" here. In fact, that is why this place exists. Its like HBO.

The desk of course. Is it by a window?

I won't join the pile-on, at least initially. Seems to me that the guy just didn't know that Brazilians speak Portugese. So he's dumb. And that might be surprising, given his level of achievement in other areas. I don't understand why exactly this is offensive to you. He thought the document was in Spanish and you speak Spanish. You clearly feel (probably correctly) superior to him based on you knowledge that Brazilian people don't speak Spanish.

But what does any of that have to do with your ability to make small talk at cocktail parties about other religions? Ya sort of lost me there.

As far as question 2 goes, welcome back, JFF.

Nothing says "Christmas" quite so much as a firm that tells you on December 22 that you should start looking for another job.

Did they give you the, "It's just not the right fit and you should start looking"? I'm sure plenty will have plenty to say on the subject but one good part about the timing is that potential new employers will think YOU quit (you waited for the bonus and then started looking). Dude, I am so sorry. I'd be freaking out.

At the assumed risk of another moronistically stupid response can I ask you something....if Slave is so revolted by hair that he removes all of his, why was he so attracted to someone with a well known disco-mitt? Is it some kind of self-loathing thing?

On second thought, don’t answer and pretend you did. For the holidays, here’s a little suggestion: Why don't you go play Hide-and-go-fuck-yourself-up-the-ass.

Toodles,

I am well thank you. Yourself?

I didn't notice Gus was an alcoholic which is odd bc I can smell the booze on Brett somers in match game reruns coming through the set. What am I missing?

Jonathan looks like a litigiiuos bastard. I predict lawsuit for defamation of character and for instigating his divorce.

Not too bad, thanks.

The challenge with the beer, he kept drinking it and when it was time to go Gus still wanted to hang around and drink.

The daughter kept asking him to cut it out.

That seemed kind of odd in the middle of a race.

I wouldn't be surprised at a lawsuit either.
