Fleming: Good thing you have a unicorn magnet in the kitchen! You think saucy thoughts while you microwave your supper.

Oh, and as to comment #9: we talk about porn in law school all the time…it’s called Con Law II.

Wieland I sent you an email. And, alas, I am still without a canvas to share my thoughts with the world. And I had a REALLY funny thought the other day. You know me well enough to know that I do not have funny thoughts on a daily basis. I’m just saying.

Of course, if I don’t return from London, my status as a member of the “first floor” would be questionable.

We don’t pretend to represent the school. We also don’t post anonymously. #9, you can come write for us if you’d like, but you’d have to start putting your name on things too.

I think it is ridiculous that this many comments have been made regarding the “appropriateness” of this blog post. I would hope, especially during finals time, that law students would have better things to do with their time than cut down their fellow students. Yes, I would agree that the topic is not the most intellectually stimulating, but that doesn’t make it in poor taste. This kind of blog post isn’t what makes Iowa Law look bad. What makes Iowa Law look bad is when students take cheap shots or make snide comments at their fellow students. If you have a problem, email the blog writer personally. There is no need to be rude. Thank goodness at least one student has a sense of humor left.

Hahaha, this is amazing and who cares if it diverges slightly from law school topics? The last time I checked, blogs were supposed to be entertaining. Lighten up!

I love this post. Who knew of such things? And I agree with Kevin, thank you expanding my knowledge about unicorns.

Seriously, what was wrong with the post? The author is just informing us all about something we (at least myself) never knew existed. Yesterday, CNN reported on penis theft in Africa, which I was also unaware of. Did CNN’s reputation drop for covering that story? There is nothing wrong or questionable about reporting on the issue. It’s the actual issue that we should all be concerned about.

Thanks for broadening my knowledge.

From the about page: “So, this blog is for law students, although don’t expect it to be all about the law. It’ll be political, it’ll be about books and music; it’ll also probably degenerate into the personal, gossipy, and angsty. However bad it gets around here, one thing that The First Floor will not do is permit anonymous blog posting. That’s for our less reputable competitors”

I think #9 has a point. If you want this blog to be taken somewhat seriously, maybe even bookmarked, by outsiders then maybe the writers here should think twice before posting material that may turn some readers off.

It depends on if you’re trying to target people outside of your law school social circles. If you aren’t then post away.

i agree. that’s why fleming didn’t post anything inappropriate.

I concur with all of the above except post #9.

Actually, we should start Google bombing and stuff so that whenever anyone types “Iowa Law” into a search engine they get this blog first.

I for one would rather go to a school where people are interesting and have some personality instead of a school that breeds “PC” people like poster #9 (we shouldn’t use his name as it will just encourage them).

I propose the following:

1. Get Janis to trademark the blog title so its official looking.
2. Advertise LSAT stuff or E and E’s
3. Make $$$$
4. Donate to alumni fund to raise our rankings back to somewhere respectable again
5. Do a dance in front of poster #9 as he and his narrow, “I like to snuff out kittens” viewpoint is proven exactly wrong.

This is definitely off-topic, but Medeiros: I feel like you should put an upside-down exclamation point in front of your name if you’re going to put one after your name. Then you could bring me back to the sweetness of Contracts class with Carassco. You know what else you could do? Somehow put a rose next to your name as well because he always said your name as if you were Don Juan.

Note: Piss off if my off-topic post on a law school blog offends you.
