Hey, I saw that this weekend, too. I thought that was you in the theater, but I wasn't sure. Sorry about the popcorn incident.

"LOUD NOISES!"

I love lamp.

That's because her husband, if it's possible, is a bigger asshole than Debbie's husband.
At least Rog stuck it to Steinbrenner. Doug stuck it to everyone he's ever played for, and played with. I believe he is on the all star whiner list.

They're both reCOCKulous, in my view.

Flinty, if you need someone to test out the stabbing implement for your invention, I am available for self-testing if I ever, ever, ever have to endure lunch with the summer I just went out with again.

I'm clearly missing something here.

Actually, on second look, this website is a hoot:

"Be sure and check out some of our favorite places to visit when we are in Seattle:

Coffee: Tullys, located on 47th & University offers a wide variety of specialty drinks including espressos, macchiato and lattes. Tully’s also offers a huge selection of specialty coffee blends"

* * *

"While you decide what to do when you’re in New York, I’ll help by letting you know some of our favorite places:

Justin’s, located at 31 West 21st street. Owned by Sean “P.Diddy” Combs, this upscale restaurant and bar is just the right place to indulge in delicious southern style cuisine.

Entertainment: You can’t visit New York without taking in some theater. We highly recommend you visit the Royale Theater to see “A Raisin in the Sun” staring Sean “Puffy” Combs*. This play is a revival of the Lorraine Hansbury's landmark drama about a black family moving into an all-white Chicago neighborhood."

* Not P.Diddy????

Oh, come on now. You, of all people, should know that we're going to need some embellishment. And if your new summer is half as dumb as our new clerk, then we can test together. Now SPILL!!

s/he is just my absolute antithesis. we have nothing in common. nothing.

I just should recuse myself from all summer clerk stuff. though, it is possible they dont' like this person and only send me out with clerks they don't want to come here.

Seeing the ex this weekend with his new girlfriend* has me thinking of revenge (what else is a spinster to do?). Have you ever exacted revenge on an ex without breaking any laws or causing bodily harm? Any ideas? It would be so nice to see his life get complicated.

I did hear that his company is looking to cut 800 jobs in his department. That would be a nice complication.

*The ex and I played on a soccer team together. The season is over and the team is disbanding for a variety of reasons so my pettiness will dissolve over time.

Was he at least hot? Does he have a Prince Albert?

In other summer associate news, Fenwick is helping one of our incumbant local judges raise money to stay on the bench. The kid just got back from taking our group of summers out to lunch with Judge B.H. "Jimmy" Throckmotten. I overheard one of the female SAs ask Fenwick if it was ethical for the judge to put his hand on her thigh while he asked her for "a contribution to his re-erection campaign."

I think Fenwick started crying.

That is not possible. Instead, look to breaking laws and causing bodily harm without getting caught.

Does he have a brother you could sleep with? Best friend? Sister?

You might be interested to know that the musical "Spamalot" will be doing its pre-Broadway run here in Chicago late this Fall. Written by Eric Idle, it is a musical retelling of "Holy Grail" starring David Hyde Pierce, Tim Curry and Hank Azaria.

Much like the pre-Broadway run of the Producers here, I will wait until the reviews come out before buying tickets to this. It will either be hilarious or very, very bad. There is no in-between.

On the pseudo-celebrity front, saw actor Jeremy Piven and met Graham Colton of the Graham Colton Band at a concert this weekend. Nice guy. Mrs. Hand and friends went to see Sting and Annie Lennox last night, and said Annie was great but Sting wasn't. Only 3 Police songs and apparently dragged Roxanne out for an unbearable 10 minutes. Ugh.

Nope. He's an only child and I don't want to sleep with any of his friends.

Your firm schedules people to go on lunches? in groups? That much formality is weird. We've always been encouraged to ask them, but not forced. I think you'd be a good one to go. You don't seem like the "what a great firm" cheerleader sort.

When I've been at places I hated, these lunches always struck me as the moments I realized just how wek-willed I truly was. I'd be at lunch was a summer or a candidate, and another associate. The associate and I had been talking just a week before about how much the place sucks, etc. Then were telling the poor kid how bright his prospects will be if only he joins us.

Fringe, I imagine you would less a liar than me.
