Taxwonk, I am interviewing with a firm I have seen you comment about on this and the other board. I would like to have an offline Q&A with you. Would you please email me (use a throw away email address if you want--I have no interest in you personally)?

q04062004@yahoo.com

You've got mail.

We went Dutch last time, as I recall...

I bought the time before that, and frankly, Penske wasn't that great...

But I keep picking up the drink tabs. Of course, I also pick up more of the drinks...

yes, but who has been picking up the room tab? or maybe you two should just get one now.

Really. If it weren't for Mr. Hand posting headlines and me giving occasional job hunting tips, this place would be as dead as the late Tax board.

Thanks for the info TaxWonk. Sorry about going off board with my questions. It's just that the firms can easily figure out who is asking about them based on who they are interviewing.

No problem. As a technical matter though, next time you want to communicate with a board member offboard, try the PM function, it's faster.

Good luck with the job thingy.

This is bullshit. I come here for all the joking around gossip, but I have to go the old board for all my other shit. And that sucks, because that board sucks. Therefore, we need to start getting all the substantive Chicago gossip here. Like firm office issues (Hi MBRM and LBB GAs!), indictment issues (Hi J&G and SABW GAs!) and sexual harrassment issues (Hi WH and KE GAs!).

Commence. I like this board way better than the corporate whores at FL and I want it to be the premier board. I hope that others feel the same way.

Point well taken... If we only had more than 4 regulars, we might be able to pull that off.

I could tell which Chi. patent firms I find especially odious (sp?), but none of you are patent guys.

You don't know that! I could be "prosecuting" and "litigating" some "prior art" on you "applications" right now, or whateverthefuck. So tell us!

I'll bet all those guys at Leydig are assholes, right?

I'm with you. However, on the old board about all my posts did was prompt a bunch of hate socks. While I was flattered by all the attention, I wasn't flattered enough to drag abunch of bored law students over here just to drag the group's average intelligence and maturity level down.

I'm afraid the recruiting will have to fall on others. Otherwise, I'll be forced to reinstitute the sandwich debate. And given that I'm now banished to the Western Burbs, that topic will by woefully underserved.

UPDATE -- The 75 year old lady who scammed a bunch of car dealers with bad checks, skipped bail and wrote a bad check to her lawyer for his retainer was sentenced to 18 months in prison today. Betty Gooch claimed she didn't know she did anything wrong when she wrote a $20,000+ check to a BMW dealer on a $50 balance checking account...
