reflections on the exam (part 1)
i have good news:
i asked out princess strawberry margarita yesterday after the crim exam, and she said yes. i have to assume that she was in some sort of delirious state of mind after having endured the four-hour assfuck that was the crim exam, and was too confused or stupefied to figure out how to tactfully reject me. regardless, whatever the reason, she seemed excited, and i'm really, really happy about it as well.
so we're going out to dinner sometime after the con law exam, then hopefully for drinks afterwards.
as i'm still learning my way around this great city, so if any of you have suggestions as to good places to go for dinner and then for drinks, please let me know. ideal suggestions would be places that are romantic, funky, but not too expensive (as this date will pretty much be paid for by stafford loans). either manhattan or brooklyn is fine.
before i wax longiloquent on the exam, there are a few pieces of business left over from the last message board that i'd like to respond to.
first, bravo to the person who wrote the "twas the night before finals" poem. great stuff.
this is overdue, but bravo also to the person who wrote the thing for sebok's present. very creative.
all you creative geniuses really should start signing your work so that we can all give you props.
ok, also, speaking of anonymous intellect, congratulations to the person who so quickly figured out my "toilet paper" riddle. i guess i'll have to work harder to stump you guys next time.
finally, this was just posted on the last message board, but i didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle, so here it is:
does anyone know if ryan lewendon is single??????
(i love it. i think that menlovian just found its raison d'etre. future inquiries along these lines are highly encouraged.)
if anyone out there knows anything about it, please do share. unfortunately, i have no insights into ryan's love life, but i do know that he is a great guy, very funny and smart. hopefully it'll work out for you, whoever you are.
anyway, i just slept for about 12 hours, and am pretty much recovered from pitler's exam. here are some random thoughts on the experience. in honor of the incident in question one (was the guy's name basta? i can't recall...), the shootout in the grocery store, i'll be doing this part in bullet point style.
- i'm pretty sure that i got a D on the exam. i hardly even had a chance to answer any of the last set of questions. also, my final word count was barely over 2100. these nerds sitting around me were all saying how hard it was to stay under 4000, or how they just chose to go over the word limit. so i didn't do well, but i doubt that i failed. overall, it was a purely menlovian performance, or at least it was very close to the tail end of the bell curve.
- what was the deal with the guy driving in his underwear? why was that significant? i know that it was in there for a reason, but i have no idea why. if any of you smarties figured it out, please share so that i can agonize over having missed it for the remainder of the exam period.
- who the fuck names their kids "poker" and "dice"? would you let your child hang out with these two? the question said that poker was standing by the yellow line on the road. here's what i didn't understand: where exactly was he standing? was he actually over the line, and standing in the road? i don't know how pitler can expect us to answer these questions without telling us this type of info.
- finally, how sexy was question #4? was i the only one who was getting a bit of a richard stabone as i read pitler's description of jordan being stripped and then fondled by pat? (not to mention when things took a sexy s&m turn when pat smacked jordan into submission...) just the thought of these two sexually nondescript, genderless blobs cavorting alongside the gorge was more fun than i'd ever thought i'd have during an exam. if BLS ever finds a way to fire Pitler, i think the guy's got a great future writing romance novels.
well, we've got five days until the torts exam. i have a feeling that yesterday's exam will seem like a four-hour massage compared to what sebok's going to put us through. all you part-time students out there, consider yourselves blessed.
good luck everyone... i'll see you on the flipside.

hah! pitler used the same problem (#4) on last years' exam. that lazy bastard.
well perhaps ryan would like to have two girlfriends...
Congrats Menlove on your new honey.
I think the purpose of having the guy in his underwear was to show his "awareness" or "perception" of the rain and thus, the poor and dangerous driving conditions, no? It would have been even better if Pitler told us what kind of underwear it was.
i put that too, that it showed that he was aware of the weather conditions... but i felt stupid sayinng it b/c... well, wouldn't the rain be pretty obvious just by looking out the windshield?
what was the story with the word count? did anyone else have a problem with it? i wonder what Pitler will do about it
Menlove...
(1) I am a 1L in section 3;
(2) I have a friend who has Pitler for Crim;
(3) She got asked out by a guy after her Crim exam yesterday;
(4) I know who asked her out; therefore,
(5) I think I know who you are.
(1) if you know you must tell
(2) i doubt Menlove was being truthful because the girl would know who he was if she read the website and she would be able to tell everyone
To the person in section 3. Did your friend in Pitler's class say yes?? Menlove's so called girl said yes and your friend may have said no.
I think the guy's undie-show did not have to do with being aware of the weather, because that is ridiculous. He was just aware of his chaffing. Menlove, I bareky broke 2500 words myself AND I remember Pitler saying he WILL NOT READ BEYOND THE LIMIT (but will try and stop at a logical spot). Anyway, the exam seemed unfair, if you ask me. (and I studied hard/ payed attention in classes)
paying attention in class was your first mistake.
there is no way Pitler is going to sit there and count up to 4000.
i can't believe you called it a "richard stabone."
In order to celebrate surviving my first law school exam, i decided to hang out with an ex (who is an ex for very good reasons) and ended up having a night very similar to pooor jordan (homicide and body disposal aside, of course.) Nice reward.
But you kept the rape?
So I'm not the only one who felt raped after the exam...
if the post crim exam debauch is any indicator, to look upon the post con law final festivities will likely result in transformation into a piller of salt.
hee hee... and if i happen to turn into said pillar, feel free to lick me before your next taquila shot
that sounds like permission. Game on.
I'm dumb . . . why would someone turn into a pillar of salt?
sometimes when god gets mad he turns people into pillars of salt. it happened to my aunt edna
it also happened to Lot's wife when she turend to watch the destruction of Saddam and Gahmora, which is my perdiction for the post exam gala. bring your raincoats, The weather perdicts sulfer rain and smoting (smiting?) anyway bad stuff.
Speaking of Aunt Edna.. I was just looking at the U.S. News rankings and BLS is like 70 or something. I wonder if the other schools are actually HARDER or just have better reputations. B/C I was also looking at attrition rates for LOWER like tier 4 schools and some of them are as high as 30% drop out rate for 1L's so THOSE schools must not be so much easier....
what "thing" or circumstance would you LEAST like to see on tomorrow's torts exam?
for me, it would be an asbestos-filled airplane crashing into a hospital.
hmm... how about:
An escapee from a voluntary drug re-hab clinic blacks-out while driving on an icy road and runs over a group of un-permitted protesters who are protesting too close to an abortion clinic in violation of a local ordinance. The black-out was caused by a surgical clamp negligently left inside the escaped re-hab patient during a recent surgery repairing an injury suffered when he was negligently hit in the head by a board carried by an independent contractor doing repair work at the re-hab center. The re-hab patient’s car would have come safely to rest at the side of the road except for the fact that the accelerator malfunctioned and stuck in the open (go-fast) position. Furthermore, the ice was formed by water leaking out of an old fire hydrant, and caused the car to slide into the protesters instead of an adjacent ravine (who’s guar rail had recently been removed for repairs).
hot damn, i hope that's not on the exam
I don't wanna learn of assumption of risk,
Or why he can't recover for the original slipped disc,
Yuschenko was poisoned with spiked lobster bisque,
To find those banned outlines, your body they'll frisk.
I don't wanna learn about proximate cause,
My answers to hypos will have many flaws,
You can sue him for battery for using his paws,
If he makes harmful contact and violates laws.
We sped through activities that carried bad hazards,
Intentional torts are committed by bastards,
I voted for Democrats, not Dennis Hasterts,
I sit in the library until my poor ass hurts.
You can get by breach if you just use res ipsa,
On December 20th I will be real tipsa,
My mommy got mad when I brought home a shiksa,
I'm going to Bedford to get my coke fixa.
I just started my outline 8 minutes ago.
There was once a judge named Cardozo
Who said in Palsgraf no duty arose-o
Now long-island laws
Can't reach proximate cause
To the great chagrin of Androzo
There once was an outline that sucked.
That made this here 1L real fucked.
Cause she didn't know shit.
except Kambat, THAT'S IT!
And out of Lawschool she'd be plucked.
