I miss Lat already

They call me Mista Foist.

Merck, let's have some fun and do an Atlanta recruiting thread.

lets make a list of all the firms in atlanta that won't even give my resume a sniff!

discuss.

"And he, is course, ALIVE, which is inherently in doubt when you have a face-to-face (or in this case face to leg, and then fist to face) with a shark while snorkling."

===================

And so begins another painful day of Billy Merk's ghastly work.

worst. post. ever.

I would have thought that it would be a career enhancing move to lose a leg to a shark. Tell your clients all about it while billing them.

On second thought, wouldn't you want to be able to say that you prevailed over a shark?

Lower left extremity indeed. This fellow has been writing too many briefs and depositions that he's permanently stuck in legalese. Rapid action stat! Infusion of English by the local community college should be good enough.

I like Billy...I thought this post was funny! Of course, I already have a job, so I couldn't care less about stupid open threads on recruiting. For heaven's sake...quit now if you really need this much help figuring out what to do with your law degree!

Better question...what the hell was he doing at Bellows? That place is ugly and usually infested with jellyfish. There are much better places on Oahu to snorkel.

If G-d wanted man to swim, Mr. Wint, he would've given him gills, Mr. Kidd. Glad he's alright though.

Yes, this was a good post. No need to kill Billy, he's doing a fine job so far today.

I agree that the post is slightly entertaining. However, what is much less entertaining and quite pitiable, is the appallingly mangled sentence quoted above, which, it seems, has become par for the course with MERCK.

This guy would have had trouble picking more obscure (and crappy) schools to attend.

Mr. Miller attended the Winona State University of Minnesota, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, double majoring in Rhetorical Studies and International Political Science in 1995. While attending college, Mr. Miller was the Vice-President of the Student Senate. After graduating from college, Mr. Miller received his Juris Doctor degree from the Ohio Northern University in Ada, Ohio.

That sentence makes me nauseous.

It's really more proper to say nauseated, as nauseous originally meant 'causing nausea', thus, if you were nauseous, you would be causing those around you to throw up. But note I said 'more' proper, as the sense in which the word was used here has become the popular usage and is also acceptable, if slightly less precise.

Billy,

Thanks for the entertaining post.

Billy,

Please quit congratulating yourself in the comments to your asinine posts.

It's pathetic.

That is all.

Man, the hatin' on Billy has begun today. STFU already. This is a good post.

11:32: What do you expect? Assholes are made to shit on things.

i shit upon thee, billy merck.

-asshole

This is better than the classic "Man Bites Dog" headline.

What the post fails to mention is that the shark failed to survive the encounter, and the bitee is planning litigation.

This is in bad taste. The dude lost a leg.

The "dude" (as you eligantly put it) lost a "chunk" out of his left leg, not the entire leg.

But thanks for bringing "good taste" to ATL, er, dude.

The "dude" (as you elegantly put it) lost a "chunk" out of his left leg, not the entire leg.

But thanks for bringing "good taste" to ATL, er, dude.

it is now almost 5pm and you have still not corrected your awful mess of a post, merck.

geezus harold christ.
