Missed Connections in Bankruptcy Class
Like most people, I’m having trouble focusing on my duties given the perils of Balloon Boy, Falcon Heene. According to my television, the balloon is down, there is no boy in it, and as of now we don’t know where the boy is. And the parents were on Wife Swap. Here’s a write-up of the episode the Heene family was featured on. Crazy story.
Of course, multitasking is an important life skill. It’s a skill that one law student hasn’t seemed to master, at least when attractive women are around. Here’s the Craigslist ode from a law student somewhere in the D.C. area to an apparently stunning vixen:
Morally Bankrupt - m4wI saw you in my bankruptcy class. I was so distracted by you that I could barely pay attention to the riveting lecture about the history of bankruptcy law. I imagine that you are a creditor and I am a bankrupt and I will have to work off my debt for you or risk debtor’s prison. You can have whatever you want; no state law exemptions. I want you to declare bankruptcy all over me.
I am sick of ending my nights pro se. I promise if you entertain my claim that you will have a huge judgment entered in your favor over and over again. We can even violate the Model Rule of Professional Responsibility and engage in a 108(j).
My interests include hilarious law-based puns; and mocking others. If you think we are a match, let’s grab a drink after class. I know it’s a weeknight but my parents let me stay out as late as I want to as long as I call by 11pm to check in with them.
P.S. I am neither the ginger nor the weird guy next to you.
Beautiful bankruptcy babe — you know who you are — it looks like you have a not-so-secret admirer. Let us know if it works out.

This is better than the nobel prize
This is AWESOME! But, the dude forgot to mention that VENUE is at her place since his parents present a FORUM NON CONVENIENS being at home.
PE,
I am currently representing Sal "the stockbroker" Governale in a dispute with Finra and the SEC stemming from his glory days on Wall Street. After we prevail in this matter, I wil be free to represent you against Rick's Cabaret.

Elie, this is from earlier in the semester. OLD NEWS.
But, #2 FTW!!
"P.S. I am neither the ginger nor the weird guy next to you."
What the heck is a "ginger"?
what is 108j?
CREEPY
Answering two comments at once.
(1) A ginger is a redhead. Either sex. Funnier term to use to describe a guy.
(2) MR 1.08(j) [dude forgot the period] is the disciplinary rule prohibiting a lawyer from doing the kinds of things Samwell likes with his or her client.
Ginger = red head. Hence unattractive.
108(j) = Rule of Professional Responsibility prohibiting sex with clients.

Second entry.
Idiot.
Looks like law students are having a good week:

8,9 - thank you very much.
10 - no, I'm not.
Sincerely, 5
Suck my ass, Mystal, you race bating Walrus!
Elie, how do you know the post is about a woman? As usual your deductive reasoning sucks a big hairy moob.
This amateur non-lothario would have been better off with the following ad:
"Saw you from across the lecture hall during bankruptcy class. Was wondering if we could get together so that I could teach you the meaning of a 'discharge.'"
14-
Although I would NEVER give Elie credit, the post does say "m4w." Maybe you should read. At this rate, you're still one step ahead of the Myst, but he's close behind.
Partner Emeritus from downtown.....YES!
Just as long as he doesn't get a call for a clawback from her in 9 months
PE
Do you have problems with early "discharge" when at Rick's?
16, ok. My employer blocks links to "adult content" such as this, so I couldn't read it. (Apparently your law school does not.) But based on the facts presented by MySTTTal, the gender was not apparent.
I bet this dude has a strong arm, if you know what I mean.
I guess it was too early in the semester for a cram down pun.
Do you think he wants her to be his special master?
22: well done sir
Anyone know what law school this is from? Georgetown's classes didn't start until Aug 31.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but this guy seems oh so lame. Just go up to her, chat her up, and be like, "hey we should go out for drinks sometime," or coffee, whatever the situation warrants. I mean if you have an image or whatever you're trying to keep up, just be like, "hey you look fucking hot today, damn I would own you d-style." Either way, posting on Craigslist is way fucking passive aggressive. Just be a man, son. Jesus fucking christ, I own guys like you on a daily basis.
20:
m4w = man looking for woman
Sounds like this guy's on the verge of a bankruptcy discharge. . .
@22 - non-consensual cramdowns are PE's favorite.
Guaranty that the tool who submitted this tip is the tool who posted the ad.
And if he's learning about debtor's prison, his bankruptcy class will be about as useful as a share of Lehman Bros stock (minus the nostalgia factor).
Post -traumatic stress flashback to creepy East Asian guy in sandals and socks who stalked me in law school.
Not funny. or cute.
20, just stop talking.
You're an idiot. Don't dig yourself deeper.
The poem is very cute. But even cuter is Elie worrying all day about a boy whose weight could never have been lifted in that "balloon" so high for that long.

Same deal.
34, wow. holy shit. at first i thought that must be an Onion article, but it's Yahoo News. Damn.
28: nice. I hope everyone uses adequate protection.
@31 - was it Lat?
He can still hope for an asset stripdown, but on past precedent he's more likely to be issued a no-action letter.
Ooh baby - don't want to be primus inter pares...
