Why, indeed. What is it with you and the boalties, anyway? When, say, Stanford loses to Cal in the fall, do the tears come loudly, or quietly into the pillow?

I do not think those words mean what you think they mean.

when i use a word, mdjd said in a scornful tone, it means just what i choose it to mean - neither more nor less.

look, all i'm saying is that public law school grads do *not* need to be discussing $25/oz wines. i'm sure it's fun to pretend to be able to appreciate this level of sophistication, but it's important to remember never to veer too far out of your element.

I'm a public law school grad (Boalt, in fact).

You are a pretentious fuck and, I'm guessing, a 3d year associate at Wilson.

Did you see that Spamalot got nominated for a whole mess of tonies. Tim Curry has been nominated for best actor. Has anyone seen it?

wilson? i wish. no, wilson showed me no love when i applied. well, that's not exactly true, but it's a rather long story...

they made an offer, gave credit for my time with the supremes, bumped my pay up a couple of notches. very nice, i thought. so I asked to drop by for a "second look" of sorts. you know, just to check things out a bit more and meet a few of the folks. well, imagine my surprise when they hooked me up with Number 2. I kid you not, I was right across the desk from larry s. we're exchanging pleasantries, talking baseball, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, No. 2 totally starts dissin' hms. made some crack about how hopkins probably rejected me.

now, i'm not the type to take offense at a little ribbing, but the old man wouldn't let it go. he had himself in stitches, literally rolling around on the floor because he thought it was so funny that i had "wasted" 4 years at a "second rate" school. at this point i was still smiling on the outside, but my ghetto side was telling me to stomp this moth*#fu*&er out.

i forget exactly what happened next. i think i mentioned i was just happy my name wasn't all over a public law school ranked 13 and struggling to remain open. "registrar's office? library reading room? how 'bout throwing some money toward getting some decent carpet in this hole you call a firm, No. 2?" a small fistfight ensued, security was called. offer retracted.

md(but I appreciated that knowing nod you gave me as they escorted me past your office, sidd)jd

The use of a parenthetical comment within your moniker to sign off is an effeminate affectation. No offense.

Ah, if only I'd had a trust fund like you, then maybe I could've gone to Stanford and been an asshole too.

One out of two ain't bad.

I believe Stanford has a broad range of scholarships available so even those of modest means can achieve their dreams. You may have to clean the rich kids' bathrooms to be eligible, but the advantage of this is thirty years later you can brag to the new associates that you were a self-made asshole.

According to some, I'm a self-made asshole now. And without the 150k loan burden.

All things considered, I suspect I'd much rather be in my chair than in the chair of mdjdphdllmmpamouse.

I've seen the associate pyramid at your firm, and you ain't self-made shit.

Those aren't the only two chairs.

I can't believe y'all degenerated into "my law school is better than yours" so quickly.

I'm sad. Flinty, hold me.
