menlovin it! (+2 final wonderfuls)

so i mentioned how you postings were like menlove doggy treats, and you all go out and get me a whole box of milk bones!

so far, they've been thoughtful, intelligent, hilarious, irreverent, and even a bit offensive! a nice bit of everything. some of you will end up being really great lawyers some day.

i'd like to extend my very warmest greetings and salutations to some of the newer people to log in to this here little web thingy... "revolver544" (keep blazin' them big guns, baby!), "Anonymous" (nice name; i wonder how long it's been since you first signed in... maybe i never noticed it. anyway, glad you're here!), "penal bonds" (obviously a smart and eloquent mofo - or maybe a fafo - that's short for father fucker... i mean, how the hell am i supposed to know which way you swing? anyway, i like what you wrote), and finally, welcome to "eric stratton" (rush chair, damn glad to meet ya...).

i gotta send out props to prof schneider for delaying monday's homework assignment so that we can watch "101 most starlicious makeovers" sunday night on E!... that was one email from her that i was glad to see.

quick digression...

one must wonder what sebok's response would have been had one of us asked him to postpone an assignment so that we could watch television. i mean, does tony even watch the super bowl? does he watch tv? the only thing i ever remember him mentioning was "Garden State," but i think that's a movie. think about it, we know so much about his thoughts and arguments about tort law, tort reform, tort theory for airplane accidents, and so on. but we know so little about how he sees the rest of the world... i mean, think how great it made you feel when he'd start going off topic, talking about garden state, or talking shit on the subway - "respect!" - or even just last month when we heard through beryl his thoughts on BLS bottled water. the point is that i'd like to go spelunking in the dude's mind. how sweet would it be to sit down and interview the big bokker on any topic you'd like? if i could, i would love to hear his insights and witticisms on subjects such as:

• which BLS professor he feels is the biggest, most worthless sack of shit
• aside from the water, what's his take on the caf's salad bar, douwe egbert's stand, etc.
• in-depth analysis of his favorite movies
• how he lost his virginity
• what's his take on that ashlee simpson chick, and so on, and so forth, ad hilarium

now that i think about it, sebok really should have his own reality show. i'd stay up until three in the morning watching him scoop his cat's litter box, riding on the subway, on the phone with zipursky, whatever.

well, i guess i should get back to business here. after my thwarted attempts at "humor" via the failed uncle denny and lucy links, i noted that there still were two final wonderful people left to mention, and then we'll be able to wrap up this wonderful thing for the year.

so what more is there to do except to introduce them??? i'm going to say goodbye for now so that i can go pull on my penumbra for awhile. enjoy these final two, have fun in contracts tomorrow, and a great weekend.

wonderful person #11 : Adam Lubow



adam is a great guy. several things "distinguish him from the rest." adam "invited the entire section to drink at his place" after finals. "the guys's got a great sense of style," his fans declare. "you've gotta love his bookbag" which one can only imagine is full of "survival tools." also, his "phish-show-inspired" "beard and winter hats" clue his classmates in to adam's "laid-back" and "chill / intense hybrid" personality.

adam "knows a shitload" about "politics, policy, and current events," and like so many other of his wonderful classmates, "adds really interesting stuff" and "intriguing insights" to our classes.

a "kind," "hilarious," "tolerant" and "friendly, engaging" person, "adam is the kind of guy you want to be friends with" because "you know he's not a user... he's not in this game only to help his own cause... and that's pretty friggin' rare these days." one fan even went so far as to say that she'd "love to join him on a cross-country road trip, and maybe even end up in some little vegas chapel!" others proclaim, "get to know him," because "if you haven't introduced yourself by now, he might not have met you yet." (someone actually emailed that line to me. it makes no sense, but i had to post it because it cracked me up.)

so here's to you, adam... you're flat-out wonderful!


wonderful person #12: Jennifer Williams



"the best of the best," "easily the nicest girl in school," and "easy to love," the compliments for this wonderful classmate came pouring in almost from day one. jennifer is "a thoroughly lovely and funny person" who "always makes you happy whenever you're around her." seemingly always "going out of her way for others," jennifer "told me i did a good job after i got socraticized in class, and it made me feel so happy." "i would do anything for her," one friend declared, because "she's the real deal."

fans and secret admirers rave about jenny's "amazing eyes and smile," and "funky, funky style," appreciating the fact that "she's not a follower, a kiss-ass, or a wimp." also cited as being "so easy on the eyes," one classmate proclaimed that "having her across the room in contracts makes every tuesday, thursday and friday a good thing." plus, as two readers noted, "she's never afraid to speak her mind," and when she does, "you know that she's coming from the heart."

an "amazing chick" who also "happens to be a great surfer," jennifer is "probably the coolest person i've met since college," a "great friend" and a "scholar."

so here's to jennifer, our final wonderful classmate!
