The ship be sinking...

Worthless, worthless article.

yes, worthless article, but the best wedding ceremony i've never been invited to!

Good to see Turtle from Entourage has friends in Minnesota . . . I wonder if Jaime Lynn was there.

The Site Be Stinking

Message to Mr. Heinz:

I am not sure obtaining a law degree from "Hamline" entitles you to appear before any court of competent jurisdiction. Having said that, I will share a practioner's tip with you. Never, and I repeat never, disrespect or violate the sanctity of any court by "somersaulting" or dancing down the path to counsel's table lest you wish to be sanctioned and fined. The fact that millions find this video entertaining is further proof that our society is fully decayed.

The bride was by far the worst dancer. The new first bridesmaids were far superior to her in every way (looks included).

Not really that original. Anyone heard of "Rock the Reception" with Tabitha and Napoleon?

PE- For the first time I completely agree with you. What a fuc+ing disgrace.

Look at all those honkies trying to dance!

Should've gone to William MiTTTTchell.

10-
You misused "lest." Big time.

14 nailed it. This was a disgrace to weddings, "dancing", law school, and Chris Brown.

did anyone else notice that there were no black people in the dance video?

Memo to self:

Stay away from Minnesota.

Yeah PE. I'm sure no dancing like Mr. Heinz's went on at your wedding in 1862.

16 - how exactly did PE misuse it?

Race could be an issue here.

This comment is addressed to post no. 16.

If you are going to correct me, at least correct the proper error. I stand by my use of "lest." That being said, I retract the words "wish to" used in the same sentence.

This TTTakes TTThe cake or HAM-bone (if your Elie) and proves that Above TTThe Law is the ship that's sinking...

No wonder Prince is so weird.

"We didn't get our forty acres and a mule, but we did get you, CC."

What is a "Hamline"? Is it like a lunch line, but one that serves only ham?

why would he marry THAT? oh yeah, a hamline intellect

I suppose that I should know the answer to this question, but is Hamline University Law School accredited by the American Bar Association?

HAMLINE! I just sharted.

- Boston chick

Only law students and lawyers would be such huge haters. Get a life. Sorry that no one wants to marry your fat boring a$$e$, and you can't dance.

And for the second time today, Kash, you misquote (or mis-"report") a story and then post the correct quote (from another source) immediately after.

You: "Their only misstep: Choosing a song by someone convicted of domestic abuse. Find out to which law school Heinz is heading this fall, after the jump."
Pioneer Press: "Peterson, who is getting her graduate degree in psychopathology from University of California Irvine and Heinz, who will start law school next month at Hamline University, had the song picked out last year, way before the guest list was even put together."

I hate to say this, but I want more Elie posts.

PE: Is Seton Hall really different than Hamline? TTTool.

PE - it's using "lest" in conjunction with "wish to" that was an error.

Suck it, you douchey 2L.

The bride can dance. The tall lanky dude that is basically "swimming" down the aisle can't.

how can you not love this video? I'm as cynical as the next guy, but this really made me smile. To 18, they should fire their casting director.

18 -

Apparently you have never been to Minnesota. If it wasn't for the Timberwolves, Twins, and Vikings, there would be no black people at all in the state.

PE's mom cries every night.

Comment Policy be no-linkin'

FZ: That song was pretty white.
DJ: Well, so am I. What can I tell you?

I clicked on the Hamline link to answer 28's question. I almost puked. Couldn't the school have picked a better representative than that pastey dude on the front page of the web site? Yikes.

lol what a bunch of douches.

30 = the plain-looking bride who will take her dancing skills to the poles in 3 years b/c her husband cannot support her with a Hamline JD

Signed, hater attorney

jesus people its a funny video. i hate lawyers.

Would President Obama call this "a teachable moment?"

40 here. I guess there are several pictures that could appear on the front page. I obviously clicked at the wrong moment...

30, you're my hero. This video is LEGEND---wait for it---DARY!!!

I hereby challenge PE to a danceoff. That's right, an old school danceoff.

Location: Rick's Cabaret
Date and time: Wednesday, July 29 at 9:30 p.m.
Ground rules: Oxford-style only, except posse is limited to 10 members each

PE, reply ASAP

I bet they had a blast of a reception.

That poor grandma in the second row, she's a gilf though

Has anyone seen the sweet dance moves of the Columbia 3L kid? Maybe Elie should inquire to his firm about them. I hear he busted them out at a firm event this summer and got reprimanded the next Monday morning by the chair of the hiring committee.

Like many of you, I am a bitter, socially inept young lawyer that has not had a date in many months.

As such, I dislike this video.

Hamline has a weekend program?

I've seen Jell-O molds that shake better than these people.

PE, how was your time at Rick's Cabaret?

Elie

The summer programs are over Friday. Please report on the summer associates shenanigans. I'm dying to hear how bad things got at a certain DC firm.

This comment is addressed to post no. 32.

I was recently (within the past 2 years) made aware that Seton Hall University had a law school. I found out when our office manager asked for a raise and attempted to use her recently acquired JD (obtained through the Seton Hall Law part time/evening program) as a bargaining chip. Needless to say, we bumped up her salary by $1,000. To answer your question, I would employ a Seton Hall JD to serve as an administrator at the firm (assuming he/she also had an MBA from a top ranked program). I am afraid any reference to Hamline in a resume is a baccio della morte for any chance of employment at the firm.

PE - I laughed at the 1k raise line. Classy

I can be quite sure if my grandparents attended that wedding they would've had a heart attack. Moreover, I'm sure my father would have stormed out of the function saying he didn't leave work (gets paid over a $1500 per day) to listen to niger music.

Am I the only that sees this as being really tasteless ?

PE: Real lawyers are too busy to post mutiple comments on this site. Recent grads are busy studying for the bar. So what are you exactly?

My guess is (A) a bored contract attorney doing doc review, or (B) a 2L (who will become a bored contract attorney doing doc review). Either way, pretty sad.

PE was made aware of Seton Hall as a 0L. 2 years ago.

PE - "sanctioned and fined" ???? Who is going to impose the fine? If it is the court, it would be a sanction. Thus, you would not need to say "sanctioned and fined," just "sanctioned" or "fined." If some other entity would impose a fine, please inform.

58 - your grandfather must give pretty bitchin' hj's for that kinda dough

there are other sanctions beside $ fines, such as going to Hamline

PE - it's "bacio"... if you are going to try to impress people with your Italian, at least learn to spell.

58 - What do you have against Niger?

Pass me some of that haterade you're drinking!

As someone who used to hate the PE posts, I have to confess that they are growing on me. Every time I see a post, I can't help but chuckle as I think about some random Brooklyn law student sitting in his room on a Tuesday evening (in class on a Wednesday afternoon, at a Starbucks on a Friday morning, whatever) hammering out a comment on his iMac. "What can I say to try and sound [old/smart/worldly] today?" While I was a little disappointed with the recycling of "baccio della morte" from an earlier post a few moments ago, I just know he's going to make it up to me tomorrow.

Why people hate lawyers, Exhibits 1-63

wow 58. thanks for sharing. also, congrats on the rich dad. real feather in your cap.

So, wait a minute. This is fun? You enjoy this? And if you don't you are a douchebag lawyer?

Do you think McDonalds has 'great' food? How about a beer...Schlitz? Meisterbrau? Have you heard of wine?

The only people who should enjoy this are relatives of the family. If you find this entertaining, and you are a lawyer/law student, you work in:

1. Insurance Defense
2. Processing Foreclosures
3. Collections

This profession is as cosmopolitan as an episode of 'Jon and Kate Plus Eight.'

56 = PE

56 = PE

70: you seem pretty familiar with Jon and Kate Plus Eight. would you classify that as a guilty pleasure? get over yourself.

67 = PE

73 -

My guilty pleasure used to be ATL. Then people like you started to frequent. I guess I'm just waiting around here until the next thing comes along. You?

70

If I was Chris Brown and learned of my work product being used by these pasty Minnesotans, I'd be wanting to bitch-slap someone.

If this poor chap would have scored a 155 on the LSAT instead of a 150, he might have gone to MiTTTchell and become Chief Justice. I hear they have a pretty good record of turning them out, as far as a T4 goes. Instead, millions more Americans now are more familiar with this video than they are that former C.J.

When my wife makes a pork roast, she ties it with a string before it goes in the oven. Is that the same as a Hamline?

TIA

I found the video really lame. Get some class.

There is a connection between this video and ATL. Fat tards dancing, Elie MysTTTal is a fat tard, connection made. When will Lat remove this joke?

PE - please replace your weak-ass picture with your Sigma Chi picture from Rutgers (class of 2007). Better yet, have you had your picture taken at South Texas College of Law? If so, that would be better.

You tell 'em, 70.

You're right, any attorney who does insurance defense, foreclosures, or collections is clearly an uncultured boob who doesn't deserve the honor of calling him/her self an attorney in the first place.

At least one Hamline law student already has the 35,000 sq. ft. wife...

Shut the comments down...

83 wins. I nominate 83 for 2009 Comment of the Year.

Well done, sir. Well done.

PE's first use of "lest" was incorrect because "lest" is to be followed by the subjunctive, not indicative, mood. The "wish" in "Lest you wish to be" is indicative. However, as per PE's retraction and correction, "Lest you be" is correct because "be" there is subjunctive.

Oh, PE, you can see my excellent editorial skills. Would you deign to grant me an interview? You see, I've been out of school since May and still don't have a job...

PE,

Did you bump her salary by $1000 per month or $1000 per year. Can make a big difference for an office manager.

Forever- I give them about two 2 years. This is a worthless video only tangentially related to an equally worthless law school.

Minnesota is a JD factory. The state has four lawschools and three out of four are tier three or bellow. Seriously! Mediocre law schools accept mediocre students. It looks like we will have yet another jackass join the ranks in a few years to further dilute and disgrace our profession and state. Wonderful.

-Lawyer in MN

Can someone explain the "35000 sq. ft. wife" comment?

Ugh I just caught second-hand embarassment. I can't tell if that was sweet and endearing or just tacky and tasteless.

Isn't the bridesmaid on the right a black?

White people can be such asses. This would never happen in a black church. Respect our Savior, Jesus Christ, children!

87,

"Forever- I give them about two 2 years."

Is that what your mama gave your pops before she took off with that guy in the Camero?

Why would someone with so much creativity opt for a profession where creativity goes to die? So sad.

Dear Kash:

You're a little late with this. Last week, in comments on one of the posts here, Glass Cock posted a link to this video in his creepy marriage proposal to you.

43 nailed it. They were just having fun on their wedding day, and all the losers here are hating. This site's comments be sinking.

This video is remarkable for bringing me to an epiphany - I am a self loathing caucasian.

This is a very happy video. Most of you on this blog will not relate.

Fun, entertaining, adorable wedding entrance... but not in my church.

partners at quinn are given a free pass as to how they will each shimmy down to the bench all the time. it is no big deal.

quinn stud

Wait, can someone please explain to me when the Catholic Church allowed women to be priests?

The groom is a complete dork. He will fit in perfectly at Hamline. Check out his sweater in this picture. Also check out the pear shaped bride. Am I missing something? The article says the wife is the dancer yet she had the lamest dance moves out of the crowd.

http://www.twincities.com/ci_12906574?nclick_check=1&forced=true

This is stupid.
Who cares

Gawd, some of those bridesmaids were hot.

The men were all fattened hogs, though. What is up with the water in MN?

What is a hamline?

Yes, the men are real porkers. The one that looks like John Belushi (who did the handstand) can dance though. Sometimes fat people can be surprisingly sprite and graceful on the dance floor. Reminds me of Fantasia's dance of the hippos in which they are all prepping for Bubbles to appear.

PE is developmentally retarded.

White people do the darnedest things

76, completely agreed.

Guys in my high school never used to do that. It is pretty lame.

Am I the only one that noticed that this guy thinks he'll be writing a dissertation in law school?

The bride is actually kinda cute, and, she is dancing in a long wedding dress, cut her some slack.

IMO this was a creative and fun way to remember your special day. I'm just surprised (and a little happy) that the church allowed them to do this.

When will this get taken off of youtube by Chris Brown's People? You know, like that ridiculous lash-out by Prince (or whatever the heck he goes as now). http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=3777651

To those of you criticizing this couple, let me guess: at your wedding, the best man made a droll, allegedly self-deprecating toast regarding what a wild man the groom was (a lie) and the maid-of-honor made a similarly droll, allegedly self-deprecating toast regarding how many dudes the bride turned down before finally settling on the groom (also a lie)? The couple also did an extremely awkward, stilted dance to "At Last." Am I right?

79,

Get some class? haha

Stay classy.

This is fantastic. What a great entrance! Weddings are supposed to be happy occasions, and it's nice to see these guys enjoying their big day. Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Happy couple. That is something most of you on this board will not understood. You live miserable worthless lives. Keep pushing that paper.

You are going to like this video whether you like it or not. The mass media will make sure you do by playing it over and over again on different channels at different times of the day all over the world, telling you how millions and millions of people adore it and there's something wrong with you if you don't. Commenters on Youtube and every blog that features this video will swarm all over you and call you a hater if you don't like it, so get with the program. This is the new program.

You WILL like it. Unnerstan? You WILL like it.

113: according to the article, it's the bride who's writing the dissertation.

White people can be such asses, says 92,93?
Yeah this Heinz couple are a couple of idiots
with a Capital I , however not even close ,remotely
close to your black baptist jackasses whose
are the "kings and queens" the pioneers ,of not
only jackass behavior in church, but downright
psychotic demented "revivals".
