Wow, this is lame.

chinsky

That is hilarious. Stephen A. Smith is a clown.

Wolf Block to Wolf BLITZER

elie = pathetic

Ellie. Real black men dont watch ESPN.

That's not how Stephen A. talks. Not even close. "Holla"? "Heave-ho yo"? Really? Really? You just typed that on your computer and posted it? Really?

I seriously can't go on with this crap.

lol

Ellie - awesome job making a joke out of people losing their job right before the Holidays - you sir truely are an A$$HOLE

where is the Count today?

Well played big guy.

10 - it's not that far off. Stephen A. always says corny stuff like that.

This has to be the worst post in the history of ATL.

EVERYTHING THAT I SAY IS IMPORTANT

-SAS

This has to be the worst post in the history of ATL.

this is some of Elie's best work. Stephen A Smith is pretty obnoxious and talks just like that.

as annoying as ellie is. that is exactly how stephen a smith talks HALLA AT YA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY

Best work? Really? Nothing like making light of the fact that more people just got laid off. Very disrespectful, regardless of however good the imitation of SAS might be.

I haven't visited ATL in over 2 weeks. This post reaffirms my decision to seek legal news elsewhere.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

lulz!

well done Mystal!

Elie ate too many SkaddenDC cookies. He typed this crap on a sugar high.

Brilliant. The people complaining about this post are lame.

7 YOU are a douche!

Please do a poll on whether Chinese LLMs should be given US law licenses after only one year of school. They're flooding our borders like rats to high ground.

Yeah, this is in poor taste. It's one thing to report on how bad the economy is getting, but let's not start turning to this as a source for entertainment. Btw, has the guy who suggested all laid off attorneys should commit suicide been hit by a bus yet?

Rather than rolling out (yet another) story on lay offs, how about a story on those firms that have publicly announced a no lay off's policy (eg Milbanks, L&W? and Jones Day)? Give these firms some credit (where it surely is due) and give all the Nervous 1L's of this world some guidance as to where the real solid firms are for employment prospects?

Steven A, what do you make of the fired associates?

WolfBlock are worse than the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES. They stink. They're garbage. They were going nowhere. They needed to make a move and quickly. They need to let those bums go if they're going to move from low tier law firm to a CHAMPIONSHIP contender.

As for the associates being fired before Christmas? So what? One of the associates was less productive than KWA-MAY BROWN. KWA-MAY BROWN! WolfBlock should be celebrating. Throw a parade right now if you want...whether you win a championship or not. You just cut dead weight and saved some money. As far as I'm concerned its a wonderful Christmas

Now if you excuse me, I gotta go eat some cheese doos..

ATL is taking a long, slow mustache ride into the toilet, IMO.

Ok, it is kind of silly (and maybe even a little bit lame), but also really hilarious and a dead on Stephen A. Smith.

Well done Ellie, well done.

and now for your Black -U-Weather forecast.....

"its gunna rain lawyers!!!"

Thank you, Ollie.

Whatever happened to nervous T-10 or whatever that deebs name was.? Did someone finally make good on their threat and actually kill him?

Good stuff... posts like this let us pick out the soulless, humorless, DB commentators who troll this site.

Elie to worst Stephen A. impression in history!

WolfBlock is now known SheepBlock and Mystal is nailing that woolly firm with the same tenacity it applies to his hourly snacking regimen.

You mislabeled your Terry Tate impression. At least put "RRRRRRASHA NESTEROVIC!!!!!" in there.

Is it true Drinker Biddle laid off 20 people last week?

Is it true Drinker Biddle laid off 20 people last week?

33 -- Yes. His mother killed him due to the untold amounts of shame and embarrassment he brought down upon his family.

Is it true Drinker Biddle laid off 20 people last week?

Sidley Chicago, New York to lay off after the holidays. You heard it here first.

Is it true Drinker Biddle laid off 20 people last week?

I AM STEPHEN A. SMITH, AND THESE CHEEZ DOODLES ARE DELICIOUS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD THEY ARE...DAMN!

MO CHEEKS
MO PROBLEMS, FOOL.

ITS GUNNA RAIN!!!

If a white guy wrote this claiming to be Stephen A. Smith, the post would be flagged for racism, and the writer would be dragged down the golden streets of P.C.-ville for being insensitive. But, hey, since Elie is (might be) black, its ok to portray Stephen A. Smith like a caveman...

47- Does the mustache tickle?

28,

If you did a search, you would see that those stories have already been done.

47- Is a crackpipe...

I really liked this post by Elie. That's right, I said it. Great work fat boooooy.

44 = racist
48 = gay cowboy from the Village People

How much for my sheep to ride your mustache?

44 -

No.

I hate ROD PAMPERS.

Sam Donaldson's Eyebrow

FIRST to point out that while Mo Cheeks deserved to be fired, Wolf's associates didn't. Hopefully the 76ers can get rollin now!

Whether you like this post depends on two factors:
(1) How much you hate Ellie; and (2) How much you hate Stephen A. Smith. Let's make a chart:

MysTTTal- you were improving but this is epic fail.

59 = Nazi GULC Trig

Worst post in the history of ATL

44 - Yes it's true about DBR - on Friday afternoon. No stealth - they came around to every office - told everyone it was economy based.

Wow, incredibly lame. Had the potential to be great, ok, maybe just sub-par, but whatever standard of measure you use, LAME. FIX IT!

Elie = terrible SAS impersonation

29 = Dead-on SAS impersonation

26, What's your problem with Chinese LLMs? I take it you're fine with LLMs from every other country on Earth sitting for the bar after a one year course.

I would rather nail a sheep than a WolfBlock female associate.

Is SAS the guy who does Chocolate News on Comedy Central and if so, does that show make Ellie hungry?

64 -

I call BS.

70 --

I call DBS

I heard they don't have guys named Bait and Cock as name partners, they could be Wolf Bait Cock Block.

DBS?

There is no news of anything in the Legal?

Do any female associates have an opinion on this matter?

8: Seth and Amy called. They want their bit back.

I hate ROD PAMPERS

Elie,

Please post only in English and not in ghetto-speak. This post was disgusting. You are supposedly an attorney, so please write like one.

Best Regards

77

Moron. Get a sense of humor, you'll need it when you get layed off your high horse.

77 -- You Suck worse than Texas Big AIDS

Best Regards,

Everyone Else.

First you had Jew camp (see recent Howrey post) and now Chinese LLMs are "rats" (26).

You're still obsessed with sheep and mustache rides, which leads me to believe that you all have to clean some pretty awful stuff to wipe out out of your mouthsevery now and then. Maybe you post it here because you have no place else to put it?

Sheep do not have mustaches.

This post is pretty heartless, considering fifteen people just got fired less than ten weeks before Christmas.

Thank you 83. Just the point I would like to make. I was only trying to do it in language I thought these folks would understand.

You always have to get their attention first.

Haha this is great.

Most ATL douchebags don't like it.

All the normal people that watch ESPN and HATE this guy love it.

Thanks elie.

70 - call it BS all you want - it still happened. Philly, Princeton and Chicago offices were hit, mostly in corporate. I don't think they were calling the Legal to advertise it.

86 -

You are right. Just heard the news locally. Bad news all around. Sad.

Biglaw commentary without the quasi-racist sophomoric humor at http://www.lawshucks.com

"Quasi-" racist? Do you hang out at KKK or Fed Soc meetings?

sounds like alot of you are short on billables and really don't understand what is happening to the legal profession.

http://endofesq.com/?p=690

remember when ATL use to be cool... then Lat stopped writing the posts. (I can't believe I'm wishing for the days of Lat.)

I don't see anything "quasi" about it. I'll also add misogynistic, just so we have have something else to talk about. And to be sure that we're done with this topic: I know that sheep do not have mustaches--I thought that you did.

Our profession is changing all around us. If someone asked me today whether to go to law school, I would reply with a resounding "No!" I'd do it because the future is so uncertain; not because I dislike the practice of law or the profession or the business in general. I actually love practicing law.

I think we're in such a time of change that nobody knows what the outcome will be, not even the corner office guys themselves. But I do think that some sort of thoughtful cooperative effort among associates and, possibly, staff, could influence the future for the better. Use your time and your opportunities to speak freely to the world on this board to try to build something that might change the legal world. Right now, all you do is create fodder for more bad lawyer jokes.

I sent a letter to Lat and Elie, but they neither posted it nor acknowledged it. I understand that it's not the type of thing that really has appeal on this site, but if you want to take a look: www.unemployedlawyers.com.

You'll be hearing from me.

92: You have to be the most anti-intellectual lawyer ever. On your shitty website--which is a thinly veiled ploy to drum up your business--you reference "For Whom the Bell Tolls" as a movie. A MOVIE! There's this guy, John Donne, 17th century English poet. Maybe you heard of him in high school. That's his line dumbass, not some fucking movie from the forties. If you, clod, should be washed away by the sea, the world would be the more.

93:

Ah, ad hominem insults! The perfect way to argue your case. Don't bother about Rule 11. Just imagine the facts and spew your imaginings as its pleases you. More and more the kind of behavior that causes me concern.

First, I am most certainly not "anti-intellectual". To be anti-anything is to be opposed to that thing. I am hardly opposed to intellectualism or the intellectual process. In fact that is exactly what I am challenging you to engage in, for your own good and the good of the other members of your once honorable profession.

Second, even if by "anti-intellectual" you mean that I am not well read (which is certainly not the same thing at all), I most respectfully beg to disagree. I am very familiar with John Donne's writings and enjoy them very much. Far more recently than in high school. I am also familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, Shelby Foote, Seamus Heaney, Tom Stoppard, Neil Gaiman, J.K. Rowling, Edgar Allen Poe, Laura Lippman, and too many others to name. SO I must disappoint you there as well.

But to return to Mr. Donne. On my site I am not playing word games with poetry quotes; I am playing word games with movie titles, so quoting John Donne wouldn't have done me much good. Nor would it have done me any good to reference the glorious Ernest Hemingway novel on which the movie whose mention so offended you, was based. You see, you have to know the rules to play the game properly.

Third, my "shitty" website, as you so elegantly describe it, is not a ploy, thinly-veiled or not, for anything, especially to drum up business. The name "Unemployed Lawyers.com" and the fact that I mentionI am unemployed several times through out the site, might have given you some clue that I am, in fact, unemployed. I don't have any business. I think I may hire you as my new research assistant; you are so sharp at making deductions.

I do not run my website to make money. I actually pay for it out of my own pocket, so I lose money on it every month. I run it so that people will have somewhere to go for help. I run it because I think it truly is possible that we could all help each other and that would make me happy.

Just remember, avid fan of the poet John Donne: "No man is an island".

94: Mustache Ride. Now.

95: Find a sheep.

PaTTTheTTTic.

Elie,

I lament that you've ruined this once proud board, but this was an entertaining post. Tomorrow you should try not to suck again. Thanks.

What is "Wolf Block"?
