Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, opining that this was not just a typo. Yes, it's true, the Glass Cock has scores of junior associates working away as word processors, and some really capable (though a bit she-nazi like) mid levels supervising, but at the end of the day the Glass Cock reads through the documents to make sure that they make sense. The Glass Cock assumes that his juniors catch the typos, but he doesn't assume that they understand the deal or the basic legal and economic functioning of a transaction. Knowing when the financials went stale and when that triggered a right to cancel was ultimately the partner's responsibility. Thus, this was a failure of supervision, not a typo.

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, wondering why Partner Emeritus is Emeritus if he is, as he claims to be, not yet retired. Whatever the case may be, if he were at my firm, his barnacle-like existence would be cleanly scraped from the hull of the good ship PPP.

I didn't start law school until I was 34. At 18, it was the mid 80s and the Soviet Union was occupying Afghanistan. I hopped on the first plane out of Duluth, made my way to Kabul and began the long task of proving my worth to the mujahadeen. I spent the next 4 years rotating as the camp follower for various resistance groups, included a stint as young Osama Bin Laden's favorite nighttime companion. I finally was allowed to go into battle after the four year sex slave internship was finished and I proved myself as a fearless fighting machine. After being captured by the Soviets, tortured on a bed spring hooked up to a generator and then escaping into the jungles of Kabul, I came back to the United States, shaved, had my rectum surgically repaired and began my JD studies at Howard.

I am a far better lawyer today for my life experiences and I urge all young folk to follow my path.

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, taking Kash's movie quote bait and responding to her question about the lawsuit holding water: NO! The defense is wrong! Because there is no way that these tire marks were made by a '64 Buick Skylark convertible. These marks were made by a 1963 Pontiac Tempest.

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, taking a break from speaking the truth as to Partner Emeritus' lack of relevance to real equity partners (I believe I refer to him as "that barnacle on the ship of PPP" in Partners meetings) to join ranks with the old fool in looking down upon the author of post no. 82.

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, waiting for that shitbird of a drag on PPP Partner Emeritus to make an inane comment about peer firms. What is peer to a Depends diaper, you old fool?

"I see the silver wave and I think I will ride it into the sunset."

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, in response to the quote above, asking that old fish eyed fool Partner Emeritus "hey bud, how's the prostate"?

The wind doth taste of bittersweet / Like jasper wine and sugar / It no longer blows through others' feet / like those of Caspar Weinberger

Elie, do you think that there is a provision in the Good Samaritan Punishment Act of 2009 that could be used as an affirmative defense by the intrepid duo?

Former Thelen and current Orrick partner The Glass Cock here, responding to 6's inquiry. What this means for me is nothing. As anyone who has ever tried to squeeze blood from a stone can tell you, squeezing cash from a defecting partner, or anything from a glassy cock (with all due respect to those who have tried, and the Glass Cock certainly encourages more to attempt it, with props to Sir Mix A Lot as a hint to The Glass Cock's preferences), is a task yet to be accomplished.

And by the way, Partner Emeritus pees on the floor of the men's room. Have your BPH treated, you doddering old barnacle on our ship of profits.
