Guess Which Firm ‘Simpsons Superfan’ Andrew Blumberg Is Going To?
Earlier this month, we wrote about Duke 2L Andrew Blumberg. He scored an appearance on the Food Network Challenge because he is a “Simpsons superfan.”
He was teamed up with a professional cake designer to advise her on making a Bart Simpson cake that was faithful to the original character. Blumberg was an excellent cake consigliere; his partner won the challenge. (We now have photos of their winning creation, after the jump.)
According to Duke Law News, Blumberg’s superfandom is rooted in more than just watching tons of Simpsons episodes. He also worked on a project incorporating Simpsons clips into a lesson on contracts law.
We’ve found out that Blumberg’s Simpsons obsession goes even further. Guess which firm he’s summering with? Punchline, after the jump.
We heard from a tipster that Blumberg would be a summer associate at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. Blumberg confirmed this via Facebook message:
I am indeed summering with Simpson Thacher, and the irony is not lost on me :-).
Blumberg also sent along photos of the cake that netted his partner the $10,000 grand prize.
Cowabiglaw, dude.

Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-furst!!!
that cakes looks nothing like bart. it would not suffice for the dr. who marathon.
Bart never said cowabunga, that was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I want to see a Walrus cake.
The ironing is delicious.
I know it doesn't pay well, but is Marshall Dennehey laying people off?
Duke isn't as TTT as I thought it was.
3 - yes he did. Several times.
How is it ironic that he's going to STB? It would be ironic if he'd been a staunch critic of STB, or possibly if he hated the Simpsons. But it's not ironic if he's a fan of a show called the Simpsons, and he ends up at a firm with "Simpson" in the name.

So the cat burglar was caught by the very man trying to catch him? How ironic!
I agree with 9.
3,
Actually Bart did say "cowabunga," dude.

Ay, Carumba!
Major FAIL on the use of the word "ironic"

Well done, #10.
ATL is dying, and this post is evidence.
Why do you people keep criticizing ATL for what it is? It is a legal *tabloid*. It says that it reports on news and gossip. It is not a competitor to the National Law Journal / Legal Times.
I always say, "if it walks like a duck, stop criticizing it for not being a goose."
Dukie law students would be better served pursuing openings in bakeries given the school's overall rep. 10-to-1 says he gets no-offered.
Oh, and I also say, quite frequently, that I could make Kash kwack like a duck.
Duck, you have gone too far in your words toward my desert flower - you will be freed from the noose so that I may slice your throat with my scimitar.

Andrew reportedly watches only Simpsons porn
Is that seriously the cake that won? Not really up to usual FNC standards, if you ask me.

12 - At least it didn't rain on his wedding day.
But he said, "the irony is not lost on me." So he's right. The irony got lost on someone else.
I don't get it. The guy went to Dook but the woman is the only one with a popped collar?
Gay. Totally Gay. More gay than Adam Lambert.
Ironic adj. - Poignantly contrary to what was expected or intended.
P.S. Today's tally: 1 post about cake and two about video games.
Isn't it ironic... dontcha think... it's like raaaain on your wedding day... a free riiiiiide....
Real irony: Regan getting shot by the ricochet off his bullet proof car... which was made to protect him from bullets.
As someone once explained:
"'10,000 spoons, when all you need is a knife.' That's not ironic, that's just unfortunate. Now, if you later realized that a spoon would have done after all . . . "
Seems to me that anyone who would come to this website to personally insult some random law student they've never met just because they hate the school he goes to is living a pretty sad life.
To the 29: Seems to me that leading an even sadder life, of course, is someone commenting on someone insulting a student they've never met b/c he goes to TTT Duke.
Good job 30, that was almost a sentence!
I guess either the financial crisis has provoked Simpson to start recruiting from tier-three law schools, or 13 and 30 are some kind of morons. Anyone's guess really.
yes, but which firm is the real blumberg going to this summer?
yes, but which firm is the real blumberg going to this summer?
Irony would've been if he was summering for a firm named Griffin Quagmire & Cleveland.
33/34, Real Blumberg is not summering with a law firm. He's summering with the abstract noun of The Law. He's so far beyond Big Law, it's unreal. He will become and embody the law.
Real Blumberg is like Judge Dredd, only better (and he batting left-handed)
