Congrats Davatsa, I don't generally like lawyers, but I'll make an exception in your case. \:D
Sorry Ewest, I won't repeat the lawyer joke that got moderated. ;\)

Thanks, guys and gals! I appreciate the support from my Pond Boss family.

TJ, I'll be doing litigation, with an emphasis (at least at the start) on oil & gas.

But as Theo mentioned, I've gotta pass that pesky bar exam first. I'll have plenty of time to prepare in June and July.

Litigation? Nice to know an attorney who will work for CSBG in lieu of cash!

Which one was that AP? Was that the one that asks what do you call 50 lawyers chained to the bottom of the sea?

Answer: A good start.



All joking aside congratulations Davatsa!

No my joke involved a bus, but since it was moderated someone didn't think it was funny, I'll just stick to polish jokes, I have personal experience there.

AP

I got moderated once - for saying "p00p". It felt like a rite of passage, which was good...but also felt like I violated the code...and even that wasn't such a bad feeling. I guess if one isn't pushing the boundaries every now and again there isn't much point going round and round in circles. Moderators are here to keep our passionate responses in line with forum parameters, and that's a good thing. I know I have deleted several responses before posting that would have been swatted in a microsecond. Anyone have any good being moderated stories?

Speaking of poop I learned something new the other day.

How many of you knew the scientific name for a Robin is Turdus migratorious?

So flattering isn't it to be called a migrating turd?



TJ was that close enough to the boundary for ya?

You know, davatsa is so modest. He is in the top 3 or 4 of his class. Granted we don't know how many are in his class...

I'm guessing there's at least four. (kidding, just kidding!)

Now, because he's already accepted a job that starts before the PBC3, we need to figure out how he can be "billable" so he can attend the show.
