Halverson's eventual death will be more along the lines of: Colonel BigMac. With arterial plaque. In the aorta.
Halverson's eventual death will be more along the lines of: hilarious.
Anyone out there want to run the numbers and find out how big Halverson's carbon footprint is? Or rather, carbon motorized scooterprint.
What the reputation of WashU Law in the New York CIty BigLaw community?
What the reputation, indeed!
I meant WHAT IS.
"Chalem and Miranda were fired last October 'for engaging in sexual activity with each other in the loss prevention office' on two separate occasions, the suit said."
Jumping to conclusions, perhaps. Is there any proof it wasn't a mutual body cavity search?
I predict Halverson's husband will wok.
Sorry 9, but "Evil Ed" is gonna fry
