Friday Open(ish) Thread: Holiday Party Edition

In lieu of an open thread this week, we wanted to get a feel for how the holiday parties were shaping up this year. You reported last year that things were still looking okay, even with the economic downturn on the horizon.

We're wondering where (if anywhere) the Richard Harris cruise is heading this year, and if the other larger firms are still catering booze-fests at swanky hotels. Is ATMS still holding a basement-shindig on Christmas eve?

Let us know what your firm's party plans are ... results will be posted next week.

  1. Bowler, Dixon & Twitchell is having the coolest party ever. I heard they are renting out Boulder Bowl in Boulder City for unlimited food and bowling. Way better than some sit down boredom.

  2. Can't we just hear more about the Miley's.
    Has there been any Amador, Stephy sightings?

  3. Can we set up an auto-delete program for Miley-related comments? It was funny/amusing/etc. the first 400 times... I'm sure when there's news, WWL will post. In the meantime, just set Miley's picture to your background and have at it.

  4. I heard the same thing about BD&T in Henderson.

    Bremer, Whyte, Brown & O'Meara is doing bowling for their holiday party too, at the Red Rock VIP lanes. Seems like that is a cheaper and preferable alternative for many associates and staff in town than some sit-down dinner. I know another firm that is renting out a theater and watching a movie with a bunch of food included.

  5. I have to report that someone I trust informed me of three things about Miley that contradict what I have read here:

    1. Her tits are real

    2. She is bright

    3. She has known Ed since the teen years and their relationship is based more on love than financial convenience.

    This makes me all the more convinced she needs to save her marriage and move on.

  6. Harris firm is not having a holiday party and giving half the amount they spent on last years party to a charity that the employees voted on...reason given: lack of employee appreciation for said event.

  7. Her boobs are real and big, but have been lifted and augmented.

    She is not bright and is lazy as hell.

    She came to Vegas with Randy. He passed the bar, she failed it. They used to be known as Big Bird and Sloppy.

  8. Why do I feel like the anonymous source on the Miley's tits are being posted by Ed

  9. What's a holiday party?

    According to LU, I should be thankful I have a job and can breathe.

  10. 12:48,

    Shot... score.

    Word verification: tushbo -- Stephy's next operation?

  11. 10:39 - whoever you " trust " is an idiot and doesn't know the Miley's at all. I have personally known them for years and they both are nut cases! I feel for those poor boys they are ruining! She will stay with him because she I'd so insecure .

    Anyone know what happened to his hearing on the 1st?

  12. I think the Harris Law Firm should donate the money to all the other law firms who can't afford to have holiday parties this year (or haven't for years I should say)!

  13. Which one is big bird?

  14. Is anyone aware of another female judge on this planet who has had more inappropriate shit talked about her body than the Honorable Judge Miley? If so, please give the details.

    Holland-Johnson and Togliatti are at least as fine as Stef but you rarely see comments on their honorable hotness. Why not?

    Remember, I wrote "inappropriate," so Halverson, who opened the extra-wide wheelchair accessible stall door on comments about her body when she blamed her problems on her health, doesn't count.

  15. I hear Tiger Woods texted Miley that he wants a threesome with her and Halverson. Oh yeah!

  16. Big Bird and Sloppy? More like Bert and Ernie.

  17. How do I post a pic; There's been another Libo sighting in the handicap spots at Family Court.

  18. I'm hearing that Princess Osterle is responsible for a nightmare of a Justice Court holiday party. Princess demanded that the party be held at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, at a cost of $25,000, requiring Justice Court employees (but not the judges) to hold bake sales and yard sales to earn enough to pay for it. Some people won't go because they support unions and it's at the Venetian, and other employees won't go because Princess demanded that it be black tie and the employees don't want to pay for tuxes and fancy dresses. Princess gets her prom and everyone else suffers.

  19. 8:19 PM - are you serious? Can this be true? Will Miley be there?

  20. At the risk of being accused of blasting a feminist horn - how come we never talk about the size of Judge Wall's penis or ask if Judge Herndon's ball sack is real. Geeesh - legal gossip is one thing - constant posts about Judge Miley's body parts lead me to believe the the reputation of Vegas attorneys for being 1) lazy 2)incompetent 3) focused more on partying than lawyer 4)boozers 5)etc. etc. just might have some truth to it! Unlike the annoyingly insistent body parts poster (hereinafter "AIBPP") I've got real work to do and don't give a rat's ass that your mommy didn't breast feed (which is the only explanation I can come up with that explains your unfaltering drone about da boob). And who gives a shit if Miley's competent -since when was that qualification to be judge? Chalk it up to the brilliant idea that we'll elect judges by popular vote - genius!

  21. I'm with 6:01 a.m. BTW, our firm is hosting a lunch at a nice place and giving the office the rest of the day off for our holiday gathering.

  22. 6:01 AM - Anyone who thinks judges should be "appointed" has failed to grasp the essence of a Constitutional Republic. I take it 6:01 AM also thinks jury nullification is wrong and that Administrative Agencies are a-okay & constitutional.

    You'll make a fine judge one day. Just please get a nice boob job before taking the bench.

  23. "Can we set up an auto-delete program for Miley-related comments?"

    +1

  24. 6:57 - no. While there may be a few too many breast related posts concerning Miley, her extended absences from the bench and her piss-poor performance as a judge are more than fair material.

    Wonder who her date is to the Justice Court party.

  25. 6:57 PM - blogs are meant to be uncensored forums for folks to vent. If you want to elevate the conversation, please do. I prefer the weightier stuff, too.

    Shutting down others is not cool.

  26. Jane Ann is trying to make sure Kabins feels it:

    http://www.lvrj.com/news/doctor-accused-of-slander-prepares-to-pay-colleague-78669497.html

    As much money as he's made, and gets to keep, his lifestyle won't change much. Sweetheart deal for Kabins - the most culpable doctor among many in the Medical Mafia.

  27. @906 and 422. Perhaps you shouldn't be such dummies. 6:57 was a "+1" to the 10:22 comment. If you read all the comments you may have noticed that.
    I'll repost it so you don't have to waste your time scrolling. Idiots.

    "Can we set up an auto-delete program for Miley-related comments? It was funny/amusing/etc. the first 400 times... I'm sure when there's news, WWL will post. In the meantime, just set Miley's picture to your background and have at it."

  28. Okay, fine, have it your way.

    10:22 and 6:57, no we should not delete all Miley comments. While there may be a few too many breast related posts concerning Miley, her extended absences from the bench and her piss-poor performance as a judge are more than fair material.

    Wonder who her date is to the Justice Court party.

    Elbow bumps, but not kisses, hugs and certainly no tongue because neither of you seem to be my type,

  29. My small business litigation firm is bowling at the Red Rock VIP lanes too. Must be something in the air.

  30. I wish we would skip our Christmas party and give the money to charity, but our office party is so cheap and lame that it wouldn't be enough money to provide a decent Christmas to a family of more than two people.

  31. Son is soon to be released from jail...while several felony warrants are out for this person...The MOTHER.

    No, I think you should be fired for being ignorant.

    At my firm, which I apparently did not start, in which I was handed a partnership for sitting around, wherein I've acquired no clients and where I possibly don't exist due to not being an attorney, we have terminated NO ATTORNEYS, only staff. The attorneys all make money, even the lazy ones.
