who's filterless now?

i almost forgot.

at one of the many basketball-watching marathons last weekend, i found myself seated next to a work acquaintance who had perhaps had a few too many. i don't know this guy particularly well and he's a couple of rungs higher than me on the professional ladder, so i was very entertained by his sudden, overwhelming need to, well, share. with the exception of dwtacc, i think most of us are quite familiar with the acquired filterlessness that accompanies inebriation, and the young man in question decided that the time had come to lay his cards on the table.
he readily admitted that while perhaps not so much of a catch in his youth, over time (and evolving degree of job-having-ness) he became something of a ladies man (that is, until, he settled down with his current girl whom he confesses is way cooler than him). for whatever reason, mr. honesty decided that enumerating his various, um, social exploits as a young professional was of vital importance... but he kept miscounting and having to start over. then i remembered how much fun it can be to be the (relatively) sober one.

and though i am (and will likely remain), stymied by the sudden flood of interest in our humble blog (complete with active participation by our loyal readership), i have to admit that the above tribute's function is as a recruitment tool. it seems that the best way to get people to invest in filterlessness is to unabashedly talk about them.
