Title: And you thought YOUR office party sucked? Post by: WayAbvPar on April 03, 2007, 04:22:50 PM At least there wasn't any Negligent Dancing (http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/03/negligent.dancing.ap/index.html) going on!
I would love video of this. You know the owner's husband was liquored up and groping every staff (err distaff) member he could find. Title: Re: And you thought YOUR office party sucked? Post by: Yegolev on April 03, 2007, 10:38:29 PM I assumed there was some inherent risk in dancing, but CRAZY COURTS! I totally dropped my wife once doing an around-the-world. She was OK. She also kicked off a shoe... maybe that was during the around-the-world... God I was drunk.

Post by: Llava on April 04, 2007, 12:47:32 AM I first thought some chick was suing because she was neglected at her office party and no one would dance with her, and I was already formulating a rant in my head until the page loaded and proved me wrong.
I'd say being given the ol' Mario Bros. 2 toss and sustaining brain damage is a decent enough reason to sue. Title: Re: And you thought YOUR office party sucked?

Yeah, while the suit sounds funny at first blush her skull was cracked and she may have suffered brain damage. She might actually have a case here.

So you were dancing to Daft Punk? Title: Re: And you thought YOUR office party sucked? Post by: sinij on April 04, 2007, 10:43:08 AM Real question is did she provided implied consent to being tossed into the air and all associated risks by attending office party and agreeing to dance?
Title: Re: And you thought YOUR office party sucked? Post by: Yegolev on April 04, 2007, 11:05:38 AM Daft Punk sounds familiar... but no. It was a neo-swing song, the title and artist of which I cannot remember. It's really bad that I cannot remember since we did that at our wedding and we had worked for a couple months on the dance routine.
I'm thinking there was implied consent, thanks sinij for reminding me what the term was. Of course the particular details will help determine negligence. Title: Re: And you thought YOUR office party sucked? Post by: Ironwood on April 08, 2007, 12:09:10 AM Around The World was a Daft Punk track.
Daft Punk is Awesome. I reccomend everyone see the whole of Interstella 5555 at least once. Title: Re: And you thought YOUR office party sucked? Post by: Yegolev on April 09, 2007, 01:57:13 PM Oh, see, my lack of MTV is showing; I didn't get that joke at all. I stopped watching that when Beavis and Butthead released their movie. I think my wife might like them, otherwise I don't know why that name sounds familiar.
