They Mated: Legal All-Stars Edition
[Ed. note: This post is by MARIN, one of the finalists in ATL Idol, the “reality blogging” competition that will determine ATL’s next editor. It is marked with Marin’s avatar (at right).]
Legions of ATL readers waited with bated breath for the results of our wildly popular prior post. Without further ado, we present to you the offspring of our superstar attorney pairings:

First time for a first.
This is actually quite funny.
Ron Jeremy pic is outstanding...the Hedgehog!!
The Ron Jeremy pairing was pretty much all I found to be entertaining.
I think F&D has given up, given that her post gave no explanation for the results, but the Ron Jeremy thing gave me a chuckle.
Okay, you're not even trying any more, are you?
What the hell is wrong with you? We waited two days for THIS?!?
I vote that we nail the flag to Marin's butt and ship him to Iran.
Is this funny?
Marin redeemed herself w/ this one.
Are you effing serious? This is what we waited a day for? This? Oh, my god. Isn't the first step in suceeding trying? I'm not sure this is even phoning it in. Perhaps telegraphing it in. Or, Pony Express.
this is the stupidest post I have ever seen on ATL. I am not kidding.
The "Gloria" Abdul dig is good. Otherwise, I didnt find it too entertaining.
Like Oedipus, I want to tear my eyes out so I don't have to face the reality that is this.
I'm still not sure where the funny is. Someone please pass the funny....
Poop

Terrible. Just terrible.
Lat, please don't go. PLEASE. I fear for this blog...
hat
Liked the crib...Charney was a shameless whiner, but he did get a half decent apt (for nyc standards) out of the ordeal...not necessarily a bitchin crib, though.
Poop. in. a. hat.
Marin sucks ass.
Marin + ATL = not a place I want to be.
Marin + ATL = not a place I want to be.
this post was beyond awful.
it's worse than lazy.

Is the postal rate higher for mailing in a post from Aruba?
A little funny, perhaps, but no words? This doesn't even count as a "post" considering it hardly has any words other than a two sentence intro.
Some of the posts are hit or miss, but, at least, they tried. This is insulting. This should be considered a formal letter of resignation from the competition.
Is Althouse an albino?
Marin must have realized she has no chance once the field narrows in the later rounds. Sophist is probably going to win.
One-trick pony
One-trick pony with a broken leg. Somebody needs to Eight Belle her from the competition.
GO HOME MARIST
A person who took a head first dive in to an empty swimming pool could do better than this drivel.
this post is terrible.
27, We salute you Mr.-four-commas-when-one-would-have-done-just-fine-guy.
SOPHIST RULES!
Is this Marist as in Marist3L, the annoying lamer who wouldn't shut up about how great Marist Law and Wayne Crebet are?
14 - in a hat
(Just in from Vegas)
ATL Idol's Odds:
Sophist 3:1
Alex 9:1
F&D 10:1
Exely 30:1 (not bad considering she dropped out)
Marin 450,001:1
ENOUGH IDOLing ALREADY!!!!!!!!
ENOUGH IDOLing ALREADY!!!!!!!!
I have voted for Marin a couple of rounds in a row. this sucked. F&D or Alex won the day.
ENOUGH IDOLing ALREADY!!!!!!!!
That was pretty terrible. I had Marin at #1 before today. Now I don't know who to put there. I actually think F&D has had the overall best day, though I had her tied w/Alex for last yesterday. I guess it's a three-way tie for first with Alex in last place. Lat should definitely pull a mulligan on this one.
35, the snark would have been better if you could count.
What a waste. I'm going to go watch the Matt Damon Matthew McConaughey impression again on Sophist's post.
To call this post lazy is to insult the term.
What a waste. I'm going to go watch the Matt Damon Matthew McConaughey impression again on Sophist's post.
What a waste. I'm going to go watch the Matt Damon Matthew McConaughey impression again on Sophist's post.
45, yeah I realized that after I posted. Such a good joke wasted. Oh well. There will be others for sure.

1. Sophist
2. Alex
3. F&D
4. Marin
I'm still amazed that Lat has not figured out how to prevent double posting.
That's how you punctuate that properly. I'm sorry. Is there a comma shortage of which I am not aware? Are they being rationed? Do I need stamps to use them?
27, hey, man, w,hat's, the, deal? Re,ading, your, posts, is, pain,ful.

I'm still amazed that posters have not figured out that they should only click "Post Comment" once...
Booo...

LOL@ 58.
This post was a waste of my time. Good thing there isn't anything else to do.
Looking at the body of work over the last 2 weeks, I still have Marin in a slight edge.
I am bored with you.
Really, 63? You wouldn't be partisan at all would you? Especially considering 1/2 of this week's "body of work" is this crap. And, I can't even remember what the other 1/2 was.
63, please place the crack pipe on the floor. now, slowly back away.
Can someone explain the Gloria Abdul joke to me?
Really, 65? You wouldn't be F&D at all would you?
Marin did have my vote last week...she just needs to avoid the "mated" gig again and return to her original style.
I can't believe the complaints that it's too short. Any longer and you would have said it's too long. It's actually just right.
It was a little funny, Marin, but you need to lose the ugly pic of Michael Jackson. And try to have better thread ideas.
Ron Jeremy is funny. Everything else is "blah." The judge-pandering is unfunny and annoying. And yes, it is pandering, as there's nothing remotely insulting about the equation even though there really ought to be.
70, don't forget that Goldilocks gets eaten by the three bears at the end of the story.
I don't get it. I was expecting mashed up pictures like on Conan.
My work is done here.
the last 2 are funny, but this post is REALLY bare bones. perhaps marin has had it with all the marinhaters. (can you blame her?)
This redefines the word "lazy."
Marin, I'm still behind you, but this was awful. Bounce back.
I support marin because I prefer not to read.
Anyone who can humor me with pictures is my woman. And I gather she lives in los angeles, so my humor will not end at 2PM Pacific. Also a plus.
Tho Nobu is overpriced. Theres a place on beverly glen thats better, altho its in the valley, I'll see if I can find a picture.
I call asking for stories about OCI or worst bosses lazy. Maybe Marin's gimmick is tired, but the apartment and Ron Jeremy jokes worked.
Wow, I think I am a little dumber after seeing that.
You only think you are "a little dumber" because it made you so dumb you can even fathom how dumb you've become. I started out a little smart, so I can tell, but I am real sad now. And stupid. Stupid and sad.
this is the worst post ever. this contestent should be out regardless of anything else he has written, said, resume'd etc. this is really bad stuff.
Kash to EIC
Halverson + anything = infinity
72 is completely humorless...see the "gloria" abdul comment...and the fact that all the pics were of law-related buffoons.
Halverson + pizza = http://blog.lib.umn.edu/seng0054/dha4365w/20041007PizzaTheHut.jpg
She pulled this one together. It's better than the anticipated Conan morphed images. Bravo Marin.
Terrible. Just terrible.
God, I really hope there's a "None of the Above" option in the next poll
magically pooplicious
For the love of god, I hope Marin's apologists will come to their senses and not try to paint this as anything better than the atrocity it is.
Suuuuuuuuuuccckkkk iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttt Laaaaaaaat.
Cmon, people! This post is even funnier than Marin's stand-up bit on how dogs are stupid and cats are lazy. I never thought about this until Marin pointed it out in her routine, but did you ever notice how when you throw a stick, a dog fetches it? Contrast this with a cat, which invariably sits there, licking itself and looking contemptuously at you as if to say "get that stick your own damn self!"
Gold, Marin! Solid gold! Keep it up!
marin=doodylover
it made me giggle. the bitchin' crib is the best.
Horrendous.
You need to go the way of Arnie Becker and just give up now.
that fat freak koz freaks me out....is he still desiminating anti-Catholic "jokes" on teh webz?
horrible.
Couldn't even come up with a comment or two to liven up the pictures?
Marin Marin Marin Marin Marin Marin!
love her!
