Spank The Who?
| Prev : 8-14-2001 : Next |

As some of you know, for a couple of months my friend Eric and I ran a website. Titled http://www.spankthevirgin.com, we definitely made a tiny little niche for ourselves in our little corner of the Internet. Unfortunately, Eric lost his Internet connection a while back, so y'all's weekly horoscopes, movie reviews, articles, letters to the editor, and special features were kind of put on hiatus until further notice.

Well I still get nostalgic every once in a while for the great amount of satisfaction I received from that site. Because, believe it or not, a website with the word "virgin" in the name is a lot easier to promote than a site with the word "diary". Even though our site had little to do with virgins and even less to do with pornographic content of any kind. But I digress. Back to nostalgia.

I occasionally long for the days when I had a second non-paying but amusing writing job on the Internet with a partner and an additional audience, because I'm a ham and I love the attention. So when I typed in that irresistable name and hit enter today on my browser and the page came up "Suspended", I became curious. So I called up Eric at the number he gave me at his work. His "direct line". So I called him up to ask him.

Voice: Yes? (Sounds like Eric to me.)

Me: Hello, I'm Mr. Burns, I believe you have a letter for me. (Simpsons reference for those of you who live under a rock or don't memorize scripts like dorks like me.)

Voice: 'Sup? (Oh yeah, this is Eric.)

Me: Do you know why Spank The Virgin is suspended?

Voice: WHO?

Me (Now wary): Spank The Virgin...

Voice: Who is this???

Me: *Awkward silence*... obviously a wrong number...

Voice: Okay...

So yeah, snickering like a schoolboy, this dude hangs up. Now this guy thinks I was a porno freak calling him up to ask him why my favorite place to get pictures of hairy Russian housewives is down, because Eric didn't answer at a phone he claimed was a direct line to his office.

Fucking Eric.
