O. P. P.
That's right. You know me!
What kind of person walks away from an orgy?
These were executives. It is not like paris was having a train run on her. It is not like paris and nicky and a few of their hot friends were running a train on me. These were executives. That poor woman walked into a room full of 50-60 year olds getting it on. Picture that time you walked in on your parents having sex. Now picture that you held a JD at the time. This woman's lawyers are clearly committing malpractice by not including a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Glad to see MysTTTal is still stuffing his giant yap with TTTurkey and STTTuffing, letting his little under women post for him in between bringing him more buckets of lard to eat.
Kirkland to GM bankruptcy!
Mr. Sprayregan: "I was touching a different part of the elephant..."
Between 2003 and 2007, Lawyers: 1, bankers: 10000000000000000000000000.
We're gaining on them, I suppose.
Elie is a FATTTT FUCK :)
SkaddenDC has an orgy like that every Thursday night in the main conference room, so what?
No 8, you got it wrong.
Elie is a PHAT PHUCK :)
The link for the 8 year old Arizona murder case goes to page 2 instead of page 1. Please fix if you get a chance.
IIED? 3 is a 1L about to fuck up on his torts exam.
how lazy is elie? coming off a 5-day vacation, it is now 10:40 am and he still is yet to post anything...
If that 8 year old had been Mystal, he would have just eaten his parents.
Hell yes IIED. 12 is obviously at a v5 firm with little that resembles a life and even less that resembles a sense of humor. Furthermore, it is becomming apparent that he has a thing for granny porn.
Guys in my high school used to indirectly participate in banquet room orgies with upper hotel mangemant all the time. It was no big deal.
Gawd this stuff writes itself, doesn't it?
"He" should be "she."
"The former manager of a restaurant in the Hilton Minneapolis is suing the Hilton for "undirected" sexual harrassment because he walked in on upper management having an orgy. "
"Walked in on" an ogy where? In a suite. (Makes sense, it is a hotel, right?) Talk about sour grapes.
