About Me
- Name: menlove
- Location: brooklyn, new york
my father was a roadie for foghat. my mother coined the phrase, "thank you." both took copious amounts of mescaline during my conception. i was born with an extra kneecap on the back of my neck, thereby causing me to be a social outcast and a one-man three-legged-race juggernaut.

58 still ain't so great, but at least we're moving in the right direction.
who gives a rat's ass about some arbitrary ranking? It means nothing and employers DO NOT pay attention. Of course they- and everyone else- know that we're not an elite school and that we will never be one because- get read for this, are you ready? We aren't elite students! We are not the best, the smartest, the most able. We're all pretty average. If we were exceptional we'd be at Columbia, NYU, etc. To all you rank-obsessed kids please grow up and deal with it.
or....we just got a lot of money from BLS, weren't concerned about prestige, and were confident we'd wind up in the top 10%, making us eligible for the high-paying jobs.
maybe you're joe average, but i'm pretty sure i'm not.
Anon 3:32 - Don't sell yourself (or us) short. Not being elite does not make us average. In fact, for most of us our LSAT scores were in the top 20% and bettter, and most of us went to undergraduate schools which were well above average. So if you want to settle for average, fine. But don't bring everyone else down with you. I know it may sound corny, but be proud to go to a very good, respectable law school and to have the intelligence to survive here.
heh heh. Average Joe, it's clear that you're just as 'rank-obsessed' as the rest of us, it just seems like you enjoy some sense of moral superiority because you AREN'T elite. How very proletarian of you.
You don't care about prestige? Bullshit. You got a lot of money to go to BLS? Tell me, did you turn down NYU or Columbia for all that money? (If you did then you define "stupidity.") Confident you'd end up in the top 10%? And I thought I was a jackass.
As for me, the reason that I don't give a damn is because, quite frankly, I'm the spoiled son of an exteremely rich and powerful man. You know, the kind of guy that doesn't wait in lines, never needs a reservation, and takes calls from world leaders. Yeah, we're proud of pops.
Anyway, this law school gig is a mere indulgence of the old man as he, I, and you, all know I sure as shit don't need to work for a living. If it was up to me I'd be tappin' away in South Beach the rest of my life but pops seems to think an advanced degree will somehow make me "grow up." Why in hell should I grow up!? I'm fuckig rich and people will cater to my every need for the rest of my life. Nonetheless, if I didn't come here to BLS, it was bye-bye allowance. So here I am, mixing it up with the little folk. Fun-fun.
You know what I'm going to do with my law degree? Take a big dump and then use it as toilet paper. Then I'll laugh my way to the beach comfy in the knowledge that you - the top 10% genius that you are- will be working 100 hours a week for some slave draving meglo-maniac for a salary that is less per hour than what a McDonalds employee makes. Would you like fries with that? Eat it.
how far should i read in contracts to be safe on friday?
I hope when you are 50 and look back at your life and what you've accomplished, I hope you're happy with a lifetime of living off your dad's success.
anon 8:40pm...i'm not sure i understand your logic. you don't care about ranking yet you think it would be stupidity to turn down NYU to go to BLS on a scholarship!! you don't care about grades, yet your post reeks of jealousy for those in the top 10%!! you pretend that you don't care about money because you will always have it, yet if you didn't, you wouldn't have half a clue what to do with yourself!!
i know you pretend you don't care, but i think you really do. why can't you have some respect for someone who is proud to go to BLS, and confident that they will succeed no matter where they go? is that such a bad life to live? we can't all have your posh lifestyle, and quite frankly, i don't know that too many of us aspire to spending the rest of our lives "tappin' away in South Beach" as fun as that may sound to a cheesy loser like you.
you know, maybe. just maybe. your dad is onto something. he's hoping you don't grow up to be a spoiled little bitch, but according to you, it's hopeless...
If your daddy's so powerful, how come he couldn't get you into a better school? 58th!!!! Is that all your fortune is worth?
"Daddy," as you affectionatley call him, wanted to "buy me" into Harvard or something like that but I was appaled at the prospect of being a total dumbass surronded by brilliant folk. So, I agreed to this cock-a-mania waste of time on the condition that I only go to a school that I am able to get into on my own merit. I think it was the first, only and last time I did something "upstanding." Was kind of boring, actually. Maybe I should have gone to Harvard and tapped a few of those sexy intelligent-type chicks. Anyway, I can't wait to go back to my "cheesy lifestyle" in South Beach banging models and jet-skiing. MAN it feels good to get this out- never realized how frustrated I am in this law school bullshit!

you must really bang a lot of models. i'm convinced.
This has been fun but now I'm getting bored. And sorry, I'm not all that interested in convincing you about my sex life. Man, all this typing has forced me to use my brain more than I'm used to. I have a headache. Later.
You'd think a guy who bangs a lot of models would be doing something other than making anonymous posts on a law school blog on a thursday night...

Im not an elite student. However, I think some of those at the elite institutions are not either from an objective sense. When they were going to their 30K a year prep schools and having their stings pulled to guide their path I was working some shit job to get through state school and keep the lights on in my apt. So f-em. They may be better students than I am, but hopefully my kids will have the opportunities that they do (only with a moral compass to assist them).
To quote JP II - a life without suffering has no depth.
give something to Africare!!!
Seriously, can't this kid ask Daddy to pay the $1500 we need?
ah hell, I can't help myself here...first of all, touche, I should be out on a Thursday night, not commenting on Menlove. What can I say, I;m not always as cool as you think I am.
Secondly, "take dead aim at the rich boys"? What the fuck!? Was a contract just put out on me? Now I have to tell Enrico (the guy who protects me form kidnappers and shit) about this. Ah, man, you are not cool!
Thirdly, I'd rather eat my own shit then ask daddy to give the $1500 for Africare. I don't do charity.
This is clearly all a joke.
I think the quote is from "Rushmore".

What law firms pay less than McDonald's? Please enlighten me. If that's the case, I might join you here.
Does this guy go to BLS?
has menlove always been a frat club... or have the boys again degenerated into their bad taste?
This whole thing is stupid.
That orange kitten is ridiculously cute.
orange kitten nothing!
Cute is:This!
To 1:17, you've got that right. There's way too much frat boy nonsense on menlove.
Busted bird hymen, I'd rather not e-lite your ass. Or your hymen for that matter.
I think busted bird hymen is a sexy name
I'm a BLS 2L that just stumbled over this blog and I'm laughing my ass off. It's too bad no one from my section last year did something like this. You've really nailed down the IL angst far better than any book could. As per the question of whether it gets any easier in subsequent years, I can honestly say that it does - but not in any 'coming up for air' way; the repetitive trauma merely dulls your expectations and sense of newness. The key is to embrace the trauma - make it your status quo.
Apologies if that's depressing.
Actually though, the teacher's fuck with you less in the upper classes. So there's that at least.
Please stick around Menlovian b/c this blog is too good.
how far do we have to go in con law?
if anybody gets the nytimes...check out the article in the magazine on justice harry blackmun...its got a backstory that would make even Hella proud
