Me. I'm the guy. I freelanced a lot for a few years. Mostly part time multi-week/month gigs. Every new company that brought me in had a guy already there with my first name. Not a rare name, but not a common name either. Within two weeks of my start dates, those people would be fired. It happened three jobs in a row.
Early internet joke/hoax sight was "drill a hole in your head". pictures of people with drills in hand and bloody bandages looking all blissed out. I think it was shocking for some because the internet was so new people didn't think you just blatantly lie without a disclaimer.
I saw a neighbor fill his lawnmower with gas, take the can and take a huge swig. He capped it and started his lawnmower like nothing. so many questions.
Sub Zero Fridges, amazing. Toyota, just about any vehicle they make. Vulcan Commercial gas ranges/ovens. Original Penguin Button Up Shirts or Pendleton outer wear. Stihl chainsaws. Festool power tools.
thats a trip! I remember that but it was all but over before my time. I had some Corracho servers I connected to for a time as well. Very slow, but stable.
DRUGS!!!!!!
