hello my friends
what an unbelievable feeling it is to come home at the end of the day, and not have to do ANYTHING at all! i'm very happily enjoying summer vacation so far; i hope the same is true for all of you. so far, my judicial internship is also going well. justice rehnquist sends his regards.
well, i'd love to talk a bit about the writing competition, but unfortunately the law review folks made me sign something saying i wouldn't discuss any aspect of it until 2007.
however, i will say that there were a few things (aside from the actual writing, obviously) that annoyed me quite a bit. for instance, what the fuck was the point of forcing us to pay a photocopying fee to the school if we still had to go out and get nine copies made?
did i say nine? i meant eleven.
get your fucking story straight!
why stop at eleven? why not thirty copies? with a rubber band around each one!
anyway, i'm not mad, but it was annoying, especially considering that the odds of me making law review with my menlovianish grades are very, very slim. oh well. at least it was a fairly interesting topic.
so... what are all of you up to? is anyone else still hungover from monday night? how are the summer jobs going? big plans for the three day weekend? maybe we should all get together somewhere in the days ahead. i'm down for whatever.
ok, i'll maybe post again between now and the day after our last grade gets posted. but really, pretty soon, menlove will be finito.
thanks to those of you who have submitted requests for topics for me to write about in the final entry. i think that most of your requests have been pretty reasonable, except for the one about which guy in the class i'd most want to hook up with. i'll answer that question in the same way i answered the final three questions on beryl's exam, which is to say that i'll not answer at all.
anyhow, keep your requests, comments and stories coming. i always enjoy hearing from you guys.
later taters,
-menlove

Menlove, Here's what I want to know for the final entry: Are you really a Menlove? All year you've talked about getting C's and D's on everything from the BB exam, to the memo, to the actual class exams.
What's the dillyo?
Was it just me, or were some of the chicks who collected our writing competition extremely cute?
I noted that as well (the women who collected the poor excuse for a paper I wrote), but I believe that I had on "2hrs of sleep in 48 hrs-goggles". After that trauma I would have made a pass at Margret Thatcher.
I think the purpose of all the hot girls was to add insult to injury - "Not only will you not be able to have the prestige of being a member of law review or a journal, but you missed out on the opportunity to work with all these hotties too"
contracts grades are up. I'm gonna draw a warm bath and open a large vein .(joking...I think)
poser seems to be a generous grader
i still have no idea why people believe that there's such thing as a generous grader. there is a mandatory curve at the school. everyone has more or less the same grade distribution. if you did well, congratulate yourself, not poser.
I will not be congratulating anyone...I will be in the garage with the car running
Please don't kill yourself. If you really did that poorly, your death would probably move my class rank down slightly. Therefore, I need you alive. Smart kids, feel free to kill yourselves. Uptight kids, don't get mad. I'm just joking.
C+
Any semblence of belief in my own intelligence is now officially gone.
Oh a C+ isn't so bad... Don't let everyone lie to you about THEIR grades... There are plenty o' C+'s.
Thought you'd all like to hear a quick story from my summer job:
At the office where I work, we share Lexis / WL access. The full-timers even use our access codes. One intern is a guy who goes to American Law School in DC. His name is Rudy. He sits in the desk next to me. The other name you need to know is Lily. She is a smokin' hot intern from some school in Philly. Lily from Philly, got it? OK, so this dialogue happens within my earshot:
Lily: Is anyone on westlaw right now?
Rudy: I am, you can use my computer.
L: Do you mind if I just login with your code? I need to work on my laptop.
(Now at this point Rudy inexplicably decides to get all flirty and improper with Lily.)
R: Sure thing, Lily. My login ID is Rudy Young.
(Lily types it in.)
R: And my password is "intern ass rammer".
Lily then gets this horrified look on her face, and doesn't type anything in.
L: What did you say?
R: (In a sexy voice) You heard me. (Looking her straight in the eyes) Intern... Ass... Rammer.
Lily quickly leaves the room and heads directly into the senior partner's office.
Rudy now is the one looking horrified. He turns to me and asks me if I heard all that. I said yes. He starts saying something about how it didn't come out right, how he was just joking, but before he finishes, the senior partner comes out in a fury and comes over to Rudy.
Partner: Did Lily just ask you for your Westlaw password?
Rudy: Yes sir.
P: And did you answer her?
R: Yes sir.
P: And what did you tell her?
R: I made a horrible joke sir, I am really sorry.
P: WHAT DID YOU TELL HER?!?
R: Intern ass rammer.
At this point the whole office is watching or listening in. The partner doesn't say anything for like a whole minute. But no one is even pretending to work. We're all just staring. Seconds keep ticking by. No one is even breathing. Finally the partner says,
"Log out of westlaw right now."
Rudy does this in like one tenth of a second.
"Now log back in with the password you told me. If it logs you in... if "intern ass rammer" really is your password, then we've got no problem. If it tells you that you've entered the wrong password, you can get the hell out of this office, and never show your face here again."
So now I'm figuring he's not even going to be stupid enough to type it in. If it was me, I would have just grabbed my shit, and scurried out of there as quickly as possible. Delete it from resume. Never happened.
But Rudy starts typing. And he's typing with one finger, at this incredibly slow pace, as if he's trying to figure out a way out of the situation before he gets to the end of "rammer."
But then, he finishes the third word, and his finger is hovering over the "enter" key, but he doesn't want to push it. It's like asking a guy to pull the trigger at his own execution.
"DO IT" says the partner.
So Rudy does it, and the strangest thing happened...
It logged him in. His actual password was intern ass rammer.
Well everyone didn't know what to think, but finally the partner sort of laughed and said, "Rudy, would you mind changing your password before you get back to work?"
"Not at all sir."
"Before EVERYONE gets back to work?"
That's when I got back to work.
Menlove: That story is way too good - there's no way it can be true. It reeks of urban legend.
OK, I confess, I made it up. Still, it was a fun story, no? Feel free to spread it as an urban legend. I'd love to be responsible for one of those.
The enjoyment I was getting out of this lovely free time came to a screeching hault this morning when I checked my contracts grade. How on earth can one feel so confident about something only to find a big fat C staring back at them. This is very depressing...
I got a C too. We should start a club. We could have jackets.
I'm not a complicated man. I like cinema. In particular, I like to see fucking on film. I don't want to win an Oscar and I don't want to re-invent the wheel -- I enjoy simple pleasures like butter in my ass and lollipops in my mouth. That's me -- call me crazy, call me a pervert, but this is something I enjoy. One other small thing I want to do in this life is make a dollar and a cent in this business -- I'm not trying to hurt you.
I miss the daily menlove updates.
yeah... no summer menlove? :D
Sad, but true...missed connections on Craigslist.
that was supposed to be: missed connections on Craigslist (i'm not tech-savvy)
