Mr. Kiss used to be "fat" (6'2" and maybe 250? Now 6'2" and about 195). So I would go with fat, so long as we are talking pleasantly plump rather than morbidly obese.

During this fine holiday season I would like to wonder aloud to the board why lawyers are so fucking cheap.

Everyone around here, IT, Finance, A/P, H/R, everyone, gets these great gifts from vendors and consultants. What do I get from the outside firms that I use? Nothing but stinking fucking cards.

And I know that it isn't just me. I have spoken with other GCs and find that law firms are just plain stingy at the holidays -- unless, perhaps, you are a multi-million dollar client rather than coming in just under a million in billables.

What is up with that? How embarrassing it is when everyone pools their gifts to share here at the home office and I have nothing...nothing. Every year it is the same.
Cheap-ass fucking lawyers.

Starting next year I am demanding gifts or the work dries up.

Yeh, I can differentiate. Its simple. A real parameter is a rule. Like a law or a rule of court. A false parameter is one of those logical boxes people put themselves in for no reason. I can only demonstrate by example... A few months ago someone file a motion against me saying they were entitled to judgment. I responded that because I had not proved a necessary element of my own claim against a third party, which happened to be necessary for the movant to get judgment, the movant's motion couldn't be granted. The movant blew a gasket in open court and said "Your honor, this guy can't preclude me from judgment by arguing against himself and holding back from proving an element of his own claim." I said "Where in the rules does it say I can't take a position contrary to my claims to get past a motion for summary judgment?" Judge agreed. Everybody in my office told me my argument was improper. I said "What's stopping me?"

All that said, a false parameter that I can't make as much outside law as in keeps me here, so I'm a hypocrite, but we're all hypocrites.

Depends. Does the fat chick have an attractive face and the ugly chick have a good body?

Fat. You can work off fat, you can't work off ugly...

We sent out lovely cards and we all signed them. Isn't that enough? Do you know how long it takes to sign a few hundred stupid cards to people you don't know?

Hell, we got cards from other firms that were printed. PRINTED. With Happy freakin holidays from US. If you're not going to add any human element at all, then don't send the card. That said woman, there are a lot of you out there - if we send you something then we have to send everyone something and why would we send you something when we don't even give anything to anyone who actually works here?

Fat people always have beautiful faces and bubbly personalities. Just like dead people were always really really really nice people who will be sorely missed by everyone.

There are plenty of guys with hot bodies and not so hot faces (see Joe Millionaire I and II) as well as guys with cute faces and not always a hot body (see the Bachelorette).

You can put up with a small amount of ugliness if you get a hot body (see NFL players) but I don't think the same is true the other way. I guess if you think you can change a guy (which is normally not possible) and get him to work out to get a bod to match the face, and you're up to the challenge, then I guess there are women who are up to that challenge. Me, I'll take the football player.

I work with clients who give me tons of work, and I give nothing for Xmas. I assume there is some policy at most companies forbidding gifts. There are people who I should probably buy a car for, and they get nothing but the occasional b-ball ticket.
Its not the lawyers built in stinginess, its our fear of doing something wrong.
If you have no such policies, maybe you should think of a way to convey the gifts others get.
