1st Year NYC Associates: Please Stop. You’re Hurting Me.

NY Bar Exam Cool.JPGThe New York State Board of Law Examiners claims that they will be posting results of the July 2008 Bar Exam on Friday.

A tipster reports:

NY bar exam results to be released Friday November 14, 2008 at 9:00 AM and available at http://www.nybarexam.org/.

Another tells us:

Results will be up Friday at 9:00 AM, as per the BOLE website. 2 days left to pray.

A tipster who appears to have inside information says:

MysTTTal. NY Bar results on Friday! Unless you ate them you fat f*&k.

Shockingly, the NY BOLE website has posted this message:

The July 2008 Exam results will be available online Friday November 14 at 9:00 AM

After the jump, ATL makes a bet.

One particularly deranged tipster who has been bugging us about NY Bar results for over a month offered the ATL editorial board this wager:

BTW, thanks for the line about NY Bar results being nigh at the end of the MD Bar post. My day of epic fail marches even closer. When is the release date? I know Bar/Bri said the 12th at the earliest. Interested in taking me up on the bet I’m making. If I don’t pass, you pay me $20. If I pass, I pay off.

That’ll be the easiest $20 I’ll ever make.

Meanwhile, many of you are asking questions like:

Last year test takers found out on Thursday and the results were made public on Friday. So do you think they’re changing the format and releasing the results to test takers only on Friday?

I have no idea. As almost all of you will learn very soon, once you pass the bar the synapses possessing all of your bar information commit ritualistic suicide.

In any event, here is something to think about between now and Friday:

Boy, boy, crazy boy.
Stay loose, boy.
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy.
Go man, go.
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!

Update (11:35): NY BOLE is saying that private look-up happens Friday, public stone throwing happens on Monday.

Last year, they posted the results through a "private lookup" a few days before the public posting (which I believe is on a Friday). Wonder if they plan on doing the same this year.

Elie, you amused me today. I'm not sure why you engage all of these idiots, but just because a bunch of neurotic first years (who are really still law students, especially because there is not a lot for them to do at a lot of firms) badger you about results doesn't mean that you need to respond to them.

The tipster who called Elie a fat fuck is an idiot. Test results have neither transfats nor delicious glaze or crispy skin. Elie wouldn't move his fat ass to eat something with no artery cloggitude.

MysTTTal, why can you not do anything correctly the first time? Why can't you write at a basic high school level? Why must others constantly correct your lazy, inconsiderate ass?

You aren't dumb (though you aren't especially intelligent), you're something far worse: sloppy.

You and that other piece of dumbed down HLS trash, Phil TTTelfeyan, who was too lazy and sloppy to even walk around the statue on which he based his note, share a common weakness. Shape up, or ship the fuck out!

I think this is a smart move on the NY BOLE's part. If it's bad news, then people are obviously going to be extremely upset. At least they'll have the weekend to come to terms with the news before it becomes public knowledge.

Best of luck to all.

Elie's typos are intentional troll bait to increase comments.

Mo' attacks = mo' comments = mo' money.

So you see, he wants - no, needs - attacks on his stupidity, laziness, sloppiness, suckitude, fatness, stinky funk, man-titties, french fry oil I.V.s, cottage cheese ass, thunder thighs, doughnut inhalation, potato chip worship, excessive skin folds, borderline retardation, etc. . .
