I think it should be -- "Homogate"

Homogate is too blah. It's also overbroad - there are lots of scandals involving gay people.

If there were a "gate" option, it should have been "Bendovergate."

"I wish I knew how to quit you." -- Aaron Charney, to S&C

"No problem. We've just fired your bending-over ass." -- S&C, to Aaron Charney

The nicknames are awful and lame. Is there no creativity left?

what does "ABC v. S&C" even mean? Am I missing something.

Aaron Brett Charney versus Sullivan and Cromwell, moron.

calling anonymous posters morons truly proves one's superiority 4:08. And doing so anonymously is even more exciting. my guess is you are quite the wit in real life. too bad you posted after i figured out the riddle, genius.

David, you have to cook the books on this one.

"Brokeback Lawfirm" is beyond stupid and obvious. More important, it is far beneath you and the otherwise clever character of your site. Featuring it will make you appear boorish and simple-minded.

I know you can rise above the lowest common denominator. Please find something better.

Sullying Cromwell is the only legit one

never mind. i'm a moron. i have 2 brain cells that aren't on speaking terms and only cooperate to let me type comments on blogs.

i'm not sarcastic when i call 4:08 "exciting" and a "genius." i mean it. because i'm a moron

ok 4:18. But you forgot the part where I just sold my apartment for 1.15MM and pocketed north of 500,000 a/t for three and a half years work. that wasn't too moronic. but then typo nannies like you probably have negative net worth and take it up the ass from their dildo-wielding roommates in a 500 sq ft railroad in the west village. probably why you're so invested in this bullshit case. have fun, loser.

White Shoe Diaries is the only clever possibility. David, please take this post as my notice of appeal!

none of the above, thanks.

next slate, please.

So, fruity and the beast is pretty offensive...nice job at perpetuating a stereotype...normally I'm not a sensitive homo, but given the situation we are dealing with (a claim of homo harrassment) it seems to be stated in poor taste.

I second White Shoe Diaries

All five of the choices you offer are terrible. Some are dumb, while others are mean and offensive.

I would avoid them all and come up with something good, lest you damage your reputation. After all, in the blogging business, (as in the business of practicing law) your reputation is all you have, Lat. (Think, Eugene Volokh.)

I think the winner has to be Sullying Cromwell or ABC v. S&C. The other three are either grossly offensive or ad hominem. They are not in the spirit of the good-natured snark usually dished out by this blog.

White Shoe Diaries.

25 Posted by nocturia | Permalink Thursday, February 8, 2007 5:07 PM

Yup, Sullying Cromwell is the only one remotely clever.

avatar
26 Posted by guest | Permalink Thursday, February 8, 2007 5:27 PM

Agree that Sullying Cromwell is the only worthwhile nickname, but the first one did make me think of the old Jackson 5 song: (to the tune of "ABC")

A-B-C
He sued S-&-C
Easy as 1-2-3
ABC, S&C, Bend over for me, baby you like it like that dontcha?

let's try to pick a nickname that doesn't slur the gay community, ok? i assume all the votes for Fruity and the Beast are from S&C partners.

avatar
28 Posted by guest | Permalink Thursday, February 8, 2007 5:39 PM

not so. i am gay and voted for fruity twice!

avatar
29 Posted by guest | Permalink Thursday, February 8, 2007 5:39 PM

Only one choice (but it wasn't listed): White Shoe Diaries.

Everything else is lame in comparison.

30 Posted by um | Permalink Thursday, February 8, 2007 5:45 PM

539...you may very well be of the fruity variety of gay, but not all of us are...and giving a free pass to that attitude when done in the larger forum makes everything that allegedely was said by the partners at S&C ok...

How about

The Saga of the Memo with Shit on It

It combines the classy ("saga") with the "of the people" ("with Shit on It"), and it has a bit of alliteration and internal rhyme too.

White Shoe Diaries is the right answer. That the poll doesn't include that is UNACCEPTABLE. BEND OVER!

Am I the only one that sees ABC ending like Jerry Seinfeld's friend, Seth, who went from being an executive at a bank to manager... I mean, assistant manager, at Kenny Rogers Roasters?
