I understand that you found some unusual items inside a damaged PC from field, presumably damaged by interviewers.

There has been a certain amount of unofficial speculation as to the make, model, and condition of the unexpected materials you found in the damaged PC’s BVD drive. I would be most grateful if you could enlighten us.

Thanks,

I’m unsure what PC you are specifically speaking of. I find garbage stuffed into those computers all the time.

There was a rumor going around the bullpen that you’d found underwear inside a PC where the CD drive would have been if it had had one. I take it that this is just an urban legend, then?

Oh, that underwear. Yeah. I’m wearing them today.

(His next e-mail to me confirmed that yeah, it was just a rumor, but he was having fun yanking my chain for that moment. I printed out a copy of the mail to show Stressy College Chick, and we busted up laughing.)

I have this Cunning Plan, now, that involves a computer that's out of business for Known Hardware Reasons, and a trip to the dollar store... ;)

:p you're not supposed to ruin the joke like that.

sounds like fun ;)

[azurelunatic]

If it's on a PC that I discover out, I'll have to get Stressy College Chick to write up the Booth Out so that my name isn't associated with it, because he'd get sooooo suspicious otherwise.

Do tell what happens :D I'm sure you will, but I await your antics ;)

[azurelunatic]

Oh, and I found him on Myspace.

I think I'll search for him on LJ next. (Nothing like some covert Googling of your co-workers... and people using Myspace don't seem to always realize that it's not just your face-to-face friends who know your first and last name...)

Tis why I avoid using my first/last name...you can find my by my pen name/handle, but not by my acutal name

[azurelunatic]

Myspace has this "feature" where it says, "Put in your first and last name so your friends can search for you! We won't show it to anyone, so only people who know your actual name, who should be your friends, will find you!"

Except that works for co-workers too.
