Goodbye

So it looks like good old USS is going the way of the buffalo. Well, it's been an...interesting 8 months out here in Baltimore. I definitely would have gone crazy if not for all the cool people I met who shared in my misery. And even though we didn't get to see R2 through until the end, at least we got to have one last night of drunken debauchery, clubbing, and poker. Keep in touch!

Leather Jackets

So I want to blow my Vegas winnings before I lose it back to them the next time I go. So I'm asking the fashion conscious out there (P-dubbs need not apply) to let me know where is the best place for me to get a nice leather jacket at a semi-decent price. I'm sure there's enough metro-ness on this blog to help me out.

Who is eating Big Mamas

This morning I noticed that there are only 8 Big Mamas left in the jar. Apparently there is some Über carnivore among us who can't resist the Big Mama. I am putting my money is on beepee.

Michael LIN!!!!!

Even 1000 miles away, Michael Lin's presence can be felt on this project. Following a "hot" stock tip from Ming (the Master Stockpicker) Lin, I lost $600 in a day. That's the equivalent of 10 Brooks Brothers shirts. Or one hour of "fun" with Ping (30 minutes with Ping and P-Dubs together)!

Priyank's Rum of Choice

I find it interesting to note that Mt. Gay Rum is made in Barbados, home (or near home) of Ms. Pandey. Coincidence? Or maybe that's where he vacations. You tell me...


let the trash talkin' begin

aight people. superbowl's around the corner and i think we have very strong factions from both new england and philly (and around) on our team. the stakes are high ... and yeah carrots are good for health... so may the best team win!! altho' i have very little knowledge of "american" football as we foreigners like to call it, i would still root for the patriots coz' i like boston more than philly :-P.. yes priyank i said it.

das Schweigen ist sehr störend

the silence is very disturbing. fridays aren't what they used to be. 3-4-5 in effect. and the office is empty. time to retire for a coffee. weekend rush hour. but before that must eat for the 10000th time at thai one on/san sushi too.

metro or not?

well i think all of us would agree that PP aka prettyboy aka yanksta aka priyank pandey has the whole metrosexual thing going - and hey you gotta give it to him - he doesn't care a damn anyways!! so i would like to ascribe a responsibility to our colleague for "rating" anyone's dressing sense in his own particular way as and when asked for. so please feel free to step into priyank's cube and get your 'metro' score on a scale of 1-10 for the day ;-)!!

for more drunken insanities

please feel free to visit http://www.drinkstreet.com and choose your own poison

Yes! I'm the first...

...non-Abhay poster to the BLOG. Okay, that's it.

yes... i'm wearing white socks with dress shoes

yeah yeah one of those weird times when you forget to pack the right set of clothes and accessories...and you end up looking like a dork. oh well, i'm too lazy to go to the owings mills mall to pick up a pair of black socks. so, i'm gonna wear these sport white socks all week. please feel free to stop by my desk to amuse yourself.

p-dubs finds a new friend

bizarre as it may sound, this was the base for the most of the shots ordered last night - especially the gorilla tit!! hate to bring the pseudo-phallic imagery of the barbados island, that is if you stare close enough.
