In order to do that, would you not have to know it "like it is?" Perhaps you find it easier to draw your opinions when you are unburdened by knowledge. One hopes for the sake of your clients you don't "practice" law that way.

Exclusively for FBers
 

Oh, based on your responses I think I have all the "knowledge" I need. U seem as transparent as the X-ray pic in your sideline profile.

And I "practice" law just fine, thank you very much!

I have the same credo with my clients as well I do with my lovers, leave them satisfied and coming back for more! Boardroom....bedroom, its all the same to me.

Not yet - I'm pretty sure I don't want to "play bridge" wiith bi-berry, though I will reserve final judgment until I see more than six posts.

On the other hand, I feel like I've known Leagleaze for years, since I've been lurking (off and on) since the days when the IB wasn't Icky and Plated was just Plate. I'd be honored to play bridge (or better yet, poker) with her anytime.

Thanks for playing. Buh-bye.

Poker huh? Very nice ;)

Unfortunately, I am very bad at poker, I don't really know the rules, and I always lose. Of course this is why people like to play poker with me.

It's nice to "meet" you, welcome to the nonlurking side.

Give me time.....I can't claim the lurking credentials that U are referencing. I've only been aware of this board since I read an article in law.com, I'm not sure I even understand your references to "Icky" et al.

Anyway, in fairness, its not fair to judge me when I am being baited by this taxwonk character. "Old fuckers" bring out the worst in me. Remind me too much of the typical tite-assed 50-something gray-haired male partner. Yuck!

Deal me in (please) for a hand. Or two;) ;)

I'm going to ignore your attempts to bate me! Jerk!

Why that depends. How good are your hands?

How about 3.2858 hands of 21?!? Everyone's a winner at that game;)

Yes, even I can win at 21, this is true.

Sorry TM. But ROFLMAO.

If bi's hands are fast
can they learn to be slow
for fast isn't always the way you should go.

No worries sista', to paraphrase another "Slowhand":

Leagl, I'll have U trembling at the knees.
Leagl, U'll be begging, bi-berry please.
Leagl, darling bi will please U're quivering behind.

Excellently done. :bow:

psst, bi-berry: Um, not to be a Timmy or anything, but I'm pretty sure you meant "bait." You know, like in fishing. I don't think even taxwonk was trying to make you stop breathing (though I could be wrong about that part).

Exclusively for FBers
 

Perhaps not, yet it is sounding more and more like a good idea...

I was referring to the type of poll where you select one of a plurality of options and the percentages are auto-magically computed out to two decimal points and bar-graphed in pretty colors, rather than having individuals post answers. Some users, such as myself, may not want to divulge their genders and/or orientation so explicitly (or at least, not yet). And other users, who are impatient, may not want to slog through a bazillion posts on this subject.

Of course, maybe the folks on this board already know my gender and orientation simply from reading my posts since, according to one study, we give away our gender in our writing style.

I'm not entirely sure how someone whose third post on the board is one calling me a pedophile can come up with the chutzpah to claim that she was being baited or bated.

Then she said:

:eek2: I'm ready to make that judgment now. . . :eek2:

Thanks for the kind reception leagl, Adder, and taxwonk. My brief is finished, and so am I (for the day). I believe it's cocktail hour. . .

Exclusively for FBers
 

I agree, quit bugging the old pedophile, he's brittle and if you break him, we won't have him to play with. Furthermore, if your schtick is going to be restricted to being just an ass or just a lesbian, both have been done before. I don't think we've had an ass that is a lesbian before so I guess you could fill that role. Alternatively, there is an often reprised role (newcomer who makes ass of self and leaves forever) that many of us would not mind you filling.

Thanks for playing though.

See? The FB is full of helpful folks who take the time to 'splain things to the newbies. ;)

I nominate this post for inclusion in the FAQ -- this post and any other post which warns the newbies not to bug the Regulars. Maybe we need a specialized FB FAQ that has a bunch of stock answers and advice on how to avoid becoming a target of a post like the one I'm quoting.

(Unless you've been lurking for an extended period of time (I lurked since 1999 before posting this past spring) a newbie may not be aware of the social dynamics of the FB, which is slightly different, to say the least, from the regional boards.)

Now what would be the fun in that??

oh i see, you aren't really 13, you are just acting like you are. although i really shouldn't encourage you, your rotten behaviour and bad poetry has inspired me:

bi-berry is a naughty young girl,
her behaviour makes us all want to hurl.
however, i would be lying,
if i said i wouldn't satisfy her,
by giving her the spanking she desires.
because she's so annoying,
i want to see her crying,
as her bare bottom feels like it's on fire.

especially since we haven't even gotten the chance to start guessing whose sock bi-berry is yet.

my initial guess is justforfun.

I'd already fired off the cease and desist when you posted this. Bi on notice that I will not tolerate the dilution of my look-and-feel.

I'm sure Gattigap is also checking his retainer account to see if his portfolio of Penske clients can afford the inevitable litigation clusterfuck.

Exclusively for FBers
 

I disagree. I don't think we've had anyone whose schtick has just been being a lesbian. Granted, including lurking time, I only go back a couple years, but our token dike has been Leagl for sometime, and I have to say she is clearly not JUST a lesbian but so much more.

But welcome to the new bridge club, glad you're all here, and pull up a seat and suggest some contenders for that mud wrestling match. Welcome even to you, flame bait bi.

Though the mass appearance of the bridge club and this dicussion now points out a true gaping hole in our membership that hasn't been brought to the fore before (to my knowledge). Can we get some openly gay men here? Granted, there's quite a lot of talk about back doors and the like, but still I don't think any of the male members have indicated a clear preference for other members of similar genetic composition. Am I wrong?

It's always good to see more lurkers coming out. With a few exceptions, we were all lurkers once.

Exclusively for FBers
 

Why thank you, and thank goodness for that. How boring it would be otherwise.

We have some gay men. They just don't talk about being gay much, they don't hide it either though.

Exclusively for FBers
 

wait, i am confused here, atticus. are you saying that ms. bi-berry is diluting your look and feel or that lookingformarket is? because i never would have guessed that you are a lesbian.

R there 2nd acts on the FB?
 

What is the FB considerately appropriately politically correct way for this silly rabbit to convey the 4-real sentiment that I was wrong (notwithstanding that a couple of you really raked my lil behind over the hotcoals)??????

I have to admit that I had lurked here for almost a month, not as much as some, but long enough to pick up the vibe, and thought I could jump in here and have some fun but I slipped up. I thought the hipper than thou crowd here would appreciate this funloving bi-loving DC/NY fashionista wannabe, but I put my jimmychoo clad foot, and possibly some other body parts;), in my big fat mouth.

For what it’s worth, I think its was nervous energy. I saw that leagl was the reigning lesbian board queen and was at once feeling the need to make my presence felt but yet at the same time looking to impress her. Truth be told, the last woman whom I was seeing reminds of leagl’s board voice. And this was a girl that made me sweaty from across the room, twitching and stuttering, scared, like a school girl. I think I transferred this awkwardness to my debut here and this is catastrophic because my everyday personality is usually ultra-fabuloso-charming and adorable.

So despite being a woman of these many talents, adored by guys and gals alike, I show up here as a goofy dork who starts lashing out at board oldtimers (albeit creepy ones like taxwonk).

So I guess I win the hostile lawtalkers chatboard geek of week award.

So, that leaves us with the ultimate bottom line question: How in high hades hell do I get this mutherflocking kitty-cat back in the sack? :D?

Does submission to your intriguing form of "punishment" earn me my FB penance?

And r we talking your firm but tender hand or do you have other toys to pique my curiousity??

Apropos of nothing, I have decided that this will be my new catch-phrase. I can see it now: "Not Bob, what do you think of that expert witness we used at trial last week?" "Well, Fenwick, I found her to be ultra-fabuloso-charming and adorable."

Carry on.

R there 2nd acts on the FB?
 

Doesn't take much to be the reigning lesbian board queen when it is the main characteristic that defines you, and you are pretty much the only one who has it so. Frankly, I'm kind of bland, so I am not sure what else would have stood out early on. Fortunately however it tends to be more of an underlying issue these days. It popped up more recently I think because of the Lawrence decision. It will recede again.

You don't need to impress me, though I appreciate the thought. Just be who you are and you'll fit in fine. Very few people manage to step into this board without getting flamed. Consider it a right of passage.

R there 2nd acts on the FB?
 

Stop teasing me with these wicked double entendres leagl! I told you I was vulnerable for your type and it won't take much to push me over the edge.

Yes, the people who have PM'd me have told me the same thing and actually pointed out the posters whose flamethrowers will be most blazin. I'm ready, hit me with your best shot :P

R there 2nd acts on the FB?
 

What type would that be?

R there 2nd acts on the FB?
 

A cute and perky Patch gal. Down to earth yet not without a subtle sophistication. A candle light and fine wine romantic with a strap-on hidden under the bed. Oh MY! The thought makes me heady!:love:

Oh lord.

Sort of brings new meaning to the phrase "I get to be on top."

Only for a moment. FWIW, Atticus, if you're wading into this area of the law, Gattigap & Associates has found that the sheer stupidity of a defendant's posts has a high correlation with such defendant being judgment-proof. Tread with care.

After the incredible resources spent on Penske's [redacted] matter, I've advised my client to sit this one out.

(Doubt he'll listen, though.)

I think the bikini thing has something in common with JustforFun, but I don't think one is the sock-er and the other the sock-ee. I think both are socks of the same individual, perhaps that one who talked about burberry bikinis in the past. Hello?!?! You don't for a second believe that em would come up with that moniker after having only been lurking on this board (and not its predecessors) for a month? And the juvenile txtmsg style reeks of sock affectation.

since I am new i wanted to explain the repetitive post. I can be shallow, stupid mean and vapid. I will not however be specifically repetitive. I may be thematically repetitive, but if i post 2 almost identically things its not because i feel I'm focusing in for the kill.

Instead, I must have been distracted. you see, I carry great responsibiltiy in the legal community. Often I am called upon to opine on weighty matters during the course of the day. Sometimes this activity may interupt my also important work here.

Such was the case Friday, I responded to Thurgreed, and then was called upon to generate a position paper on what only could be called a matter of grave importance to the entire world. upon completing this task, which ultimately proved somewhat routine, I was a bit fluimoxed. i thought i was only formulating my reply so then I reposted the same basic response.

I assume that all of you are A-1 very important double-naught lawyers just like me. I know I shouldn't waste your time with repetition and I promise this will never happen again. the double quote of thurgreed wqas intially a technicla gaffe but was left because it sort of fits with the double post theme.
