FryLock, Esquire!

[FryLock]

Ok, disclaimer: This is a bragging thread.

So, this weekend, I finally finished a journey that's been 20 years in the making. I graduated law school. I went straight through school from kindergarten at age 5, until now, at age 25. It's a big weight off my shoulders, being this young with an advanced degree - and now the fun really starts. I'll get to be in court a lot, working to put bad guys away. Plus, by getting done so early, I've got tons of time ahead of me to do whatever else I like.

Yes, I am bragging, but recall the red disclaimer at the top. :bigsmile:

Anyway, I am thrilled to have completed this stage in my life. To anyone else who has recently graduated high school, college, or an advanced degree, congratulations to you as well.

Oh, as something funny, a law degree is a doctorate, so I can actually say I'm a doctor. But I don't think I will, since then I'll probably get sued by a real doctor. :dry:

Here are some graduation pictures. I gotta say, I love the rented, wrinkled, velvet robes. And the crazy floppy philosopher hats. I felt like an extra from a movie about the 16th century. :bad:

The degree and a close-up of the awesome hat. (I fuzzed out my name on the diploma to avoid all you internet stalkers!) (http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/673/fuzzydiplomakc9.jpg)

The fam. (http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/5936/law07014ul8.jpg)

The girlfriend. (http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/8823/law07028ix4.jpg)

Nice graduation present. (http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/9458/law07027we8.jpg)

The only 2 "doctors" in the family - my dad is a PhD, and teaches graduate Chinese at The Univ. of Colorado in Boulder. (http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/9231/law07026of0.jpg)

[Morning Star]

well congrats on your accomplishments, and like you stated there is a lot of time left to do whatever it is you like. Don't take any of these things for granted and stay hungry when you are in the courtroom. What I mean is never be satisfied :)

This is good news and even though I do not know you personally I can say I am genuinely happy for your early success...keep it up.

[kegsworth]

Wow, that's awesome. I knew you were studying law, but I didn't know how close you were to graduating.

A sincere congratulations to you and good luck with your future endeavors. Keep us posted on what happens with your career. :)

[pils]

WAIT ONE MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you throw your lil philospher's hat up in the air, and jump up, with one leg bent... suspended in the air for about 3 seconds with a smile that just says "this is the happiest day of my life."

???
DAMN IT! DID YOU!?!?!?!?

[gryph89]

Congrats Fry. Nice accomplishment

[pils]

Sorry bout that, on a serious note.
Congratz.
And heh, I was thinking your dad looked like a doctor before I even saw that other pic.

[solingro]

I'll get to be in court a lot, working to put bad guys away.

Or working to get them out of jail time :rolleyes:

But congrats on the achievement.

[Cliche]

Nice hat.

Congratulations, Fry.

[uniquinous]

i need to get me one of them hats...

i get my masters in 2 weeks when i turn in the final draft of my thesis on HIV research. today i need to turn in the rough draft, and it's a mess :(

i envy j00! :(

[KBHoleN1]

Great job Fry. But you're still a bastard for that vacation.

[Ignition]

I with KB here...

[steve12]

Congratulations, Frylock. Those are major accomplishments, and I have them in mind for my future. Though, I may go into mathematics instead.

[WaCk-HeAd]

Congratulations punk. I know you'll do great.

Good luck with the bar exam but I'm sure that won't be a problem.

I'll only truely cheer when you start paying my bills, though.

[uniquinous]

did anyone get you a briefcase?

btw, yall are gonna have to refer to me as Master Uniquin in a month :p

[pils]

For like... one second, I though that said mister.
I somehow had GOTCHA BITCH!!! already typed up...
tsk tsk tsk.

I can handle master uniquin, :p

[theburning]

Wow that's awesome! I bet you're glad you did it all in one shot now :)

Welcome to the working world!

[xerent]

Yeesh, I feel a stitch behind. I'll be in school for 4 more years still.

Anyways Fry, huge amounts of Kudos to you and yours. This is a massive accomplishment!!! Congratulations!

I'm sending all my parking tickets to you.

[Magician]

Congrats Fry. I'm struggling to realise I'll still be in Uni by the time I'm 25. Seriously though, well done, massive kudos, and enjoy life on the outside!

[uniquinous]

:confused:

[Jeffery]

So, can you proof some documents for me? I have a few contacts written up that would work better if a somewhat real lawyer checked them over.

[CRX687]

Damn Lawyers, done at 25. I'll be heading into residency when I'm 25 >_<

you're dad teaches at CU?! O_O. Does that mean you went to HS in Boulder? Cuz if that's true, then we lived in Boulder at the same time:bad:


CONGRATULATIONS!!

[uniquinous]

you're a doctor!? how come i didn't realize this earlier?

[Hugh Junit]

Nice work, Fry. Congratulations on a huge accomplishment.

[Match Strike]

The final picture indicates that while there may be two PhDs int he family, there are no photographers :p

Congrats Fry. I'm struggling to realise I'll still be in Uni by the time I'm 25. Seriously though, well done, massive kudos, and enjoy life on the outside!

:confused:

Uni = University, nub.

[TeXaS LoNgHoRnS]

Nice...my dad is a lawyer..

He wants me to take over his practice, but im too lazy to go to law school..

[ACHANGEL]

congrats fry for joining the bussiness class i am a professoinal drafter:cool:

[johannhowitzer]

Congratumalations! You know, you look a LOT like my old youth pastor. And tell your girlfriend she's very beautiful.

Try not to get sucked into being the type of lawyer we all hate... no matter what the business tries to tell you, maintain your morals and don't give in to corruption. Or, so help me, I will have to toast your cleric with my dragon tyrant!!

I am planning on doing graduate studies eventually, but it is financially beyond me at the moment. I have a bachelor's in music, and am a composer for piano and orchestra.

[imagination]

major major props to you sir. Congratulations!!!!!!

[Mønk-HPT]

Congratz. Your girlfreind got good guy. Keep up the good work.

[Lonely Tylenol]

Congratulations on the long-awaited graduation, Frylock!

None of your pictures work, though! :)

[Cuathon]

yaya! go fry!

[FryLock]

Thank you, everyone!

Uniq - the hat was a rental. Sorry.

Jeff - since we live in different states, my advice would probably not be good. State contract law can differ quite a bit from state to state.

crx - I lived in Boulder all my life before college - 1982 until summer 2000. I went to Fairview. Where'd you go?

Johann - Well, at least for now, I intend to be a prosecutor, so to some extent, I am my own boss. Junior prosecutors get more leeway than junior associates at a large firm.

It's not quite done, though...I still have to take the bar exam. It's a 2-day test, full of essays and multiple choice. It shouldn't be too hard to pass, but it's still a lot of prep work. Anyway, thanks again for the kind wishes! I really do appreciate them. :bigsmile:

[uniquinous]

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

teh hatz0r!

meh, bet it cost like $70 anyway

[Anarchy_United]

I'm using facebook to track down Fry and then use that information to stalk him. Upon finding where he lives, I will sneak in at 5 in the morning, and tickle his feet while he sleeps.

[Ächilles]

As of right now I'm graduating high school in one week (FINALLY). I'm taking a semester off, then going to Cape Cod Community College from there for two years for philosophy. From there I'm doing two years in the Peace Corps, and then upon the completion of my tour I'm going to transfer to a four year school as a junior and major in theology (most likely tribal religions).

Congratulations, Frylock. That's pretty cool. I think the justice system sucks, but oh well. I'm happy for you nonetheless. : )

[Medemia]

It is good to see that hours and hours of trying to tempt you into playing some games didn't stop you from getting your degree. Congrats Fry. It only seems like last year when you told us you had to slow down on TAO to get serious for law school. Man, time flies. It's time to defend those guys from adult swim for posting your picture all over Boston and idiots thinking it was a bomb.

What the....

* rubs eyes and squints*

By the beard of Zeus! Is that really you, Med? Wow.
Good to see you're still among the living.
:cool:

[meat.eater]

So I dont get to bug you in Eugene next year?!

(Where are you going next year? Back to boulder to practice?)

[CRX687]

crx - I lived in Boulder all my life before college - 1982 until summer 2000. I went to Fairview. Where'd you go?


I lived in boulder for the majority of elementary school (martin park/high peaks), 95-99:p

[Daemon Bloodmaw]

Congrats, thats huge!

How'd you like UofO btw?

My dad lives in Oregon so I've considered going there.

[FryLock]

Crap, it's Medemia! Talk about rising from the grave.

meat - I will practice in Portland, most likely.

Berz - I really liked UO. Eugene's a nice town with lots of stuff, and the campus is pretty nice. I hear the undergrad dorms aren't too comfy, though. But daaaamn, there's a lot of eye candy here. That's one thing my little private liberal arts college didn't have.

Also, thanks to dirka for the neg rep that called me lame. I appreciate it, because really, when you dislike something, that probably means it's pretty decent. :cool:

So we're swapping. Splendid. :dry:

[mantis33]

The girlfriend. (http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/8823/law07028ix4.jpg)


Did anyone else notice that his "girlfriend" looks EXACTLY like him? :confused:

*cough* sister!

[VAMP7]

*cough* sister!

her hair color does not match her beard.

[FryLock]

*cough* sister!

It's even more impressive when you consider that I'm an only child. :dry:

And you're the only person that's ever told us we look alike.

Good one! :bigsmile:

[bloodreign]

If that is his sister i'd respect him even more, GIGGITY, GIGGITY,gooooooo......uuuuuugghh j/k

[bloodreign]

Maybe we need a frylock unit in his memoriam, or should i say honor.

Frylock has the ability, if said unit attacks his client to prossecute at will.

For every square away the offending unit attacks frylocks allies, the chance of prosecution drops 20%
Frylock has the ability to prosecute up to 5 squares away
100% prosecution rate 1 square away,80% 2 squares away, ect........and if LOS is blocked Frylock will have to call upon a nearby allied unit as a witness to verify the assault.

this unit counts as 5 drachma coins.

[mantis33]

It's even more impressive when you consider that I'm an only child. :dry:

And you're the only person that's ever told us we look alike.

Good one! :bigsmile:

She's pretty. I'm just saying she looks like you.

Yes, I am calling you pretty...

[Megabyte]

kudos

I don't think she looks anything like yah, maybe it's some of the mid-westers don't have much diversity about their areas :p

[Angelic-Hotfox]

congratulations on your graduation! Thats very impressive. I plan on studying law as well so if you could uhhh you know save me a job at whatever law firm you end up at thatd be great! :)

anyways cool pics, and you said your dad teaches at Boulder? I was thinking about going there but its sooo expensive. Are you part chinese? Did you know I could speak a little chinese? Am I talking too much? Am I asking too many questions? Im hyper...

Anyways congratz!

btw: I find frylock attractive...you're handsome :)

[Anarchy_United]

Hazahh Fry!! You rock!

[FryLock]

btw: I find frylock attractive...you're handsome :)

*swoon*

The best part is that all of the pictures are of me in that ridiculous getup. So quite clearly, I rock.

I can speak less than the rudiments of some Chinese sentences. And yes, I am a half-breed: half Chinese and half Italian. Probably explains my cooking prowess, doesn't it? :)

And as for mantis' black text...I'm too scared to even comment. :eek:

I would be to.

Whenever I see people in the grad gowns, I think of cults. Don't ask me why, just all the different levels of degrees and the colors symbolizing where they graduated from, just looks funny to me.

Randomly searching the web, I stumbled across this picture! The one Fry posted here is obviously a fake! In fact, Frylock must be a real life Pirate! You thought you could trick me Fry, but I know the truth!

[dirka dirka]

"re: your neg - I'm sorry you think advanced degrees are lame. I'm proud of what I've done. But I guess we can't all spend our time inhabiting a bitterly sarcastic internet persona. Good luck with that. Cheers."

Actually, I negged you because it was a bragging thread... nice try, but it's nothing personal, don't try and make it personal because you'll fail.

[FryLock]

Please read the very first sentence of the very first post in this thread.

Moron. :dry:

I read it. That's pretty much all I read. It's nothing personal. That's all I needed for my neg. Do you get it now, with your advanced degree blah blah blargh. lol

Moron. (dry)

[FryLock]

By your logic, you'd need to neg Hugh, since he is bragging (and rightly so) about his new daughter.

Good to know that some things never change on the forums...your idiocy is a soothing constant. :)

I did.

You're crying over a neg which means nothing when you don't even visit? I neg bragging threads. Feel free to neg the hell out of me. It doesn't matter.

[FryLock]

Crying? I just find you amusing, yet foolish. It's a good combo.

And I seriously can't believe you negged Hugh.

Oh well, some people's pettiness knows no bounds. In any case, I'm done responding to you. Do have a pleasant day.

You have a good day too, or night.

[Nitanius Nolund]

Man, I totally missed this thread!!!

FryLock, congratulations man!!! 20 years of hard work and it's all gonna pay off soon.

Oh, and if I need some help putting any bad guys away, can I call you?

[Lord Shinok]

Sorry for the bump.

Just thought I'd say congrats to ya,Fryman. Good luck with your future.

Also, my uncle is a professor at Unversity of Colorado in Boulder too! Maybe your dad and my uncle knows each other. O,o
