 Ah, the holla-dolla dotcom daze when even a simple HTML jockey could be double-dipping chicks. ***Correction: The man pictured is Ken Cassar and he was never a simple HTML jockey. He gained moderate fame as an Internet Analyst, even made a cameo in the Kozmo.com documentary, and was once on a first name basis with Jeff Bezos who called him "Chip" for some reason. His double-dipping days are over and he now lives in Connecticut with a wife and kids. It's enough to kill the will to live if you think about it too long. This is admittedly late on the holiday office party talk and I meant to mention this on Monday but the content queue was jammed like $2 Darkness tickets. No doubt volumes of encyclopedias could be filled coast to coast (or, valley to alley) with office party stories from that blip of time on the modern business radar screen when hubris and open bars taunted decorum and expense accounts. Yeah yeah, the inter-something or another. Raise the uBid coozies, tip your Kozmo.com hat (and shake a crabby, old man fist) to bursting bubbles and exaggerated egos. I would share some of my own stories but dogs-my-cats, that was some strong shit. I do remember a Sony Holiday Bash at their Midtown Store where we gathered in the fancy television room with the projection screen, plush couches, entertainment memorabilia, and hi-tech gadgets on display. And we didn't leave...all night. That is until we were asked to go when our obnoxious behavior climaxed with breaking glasses. Take a look at some other bubbly tales and stretched truths in this NY Daily News article. Hmm, just who is this Constitution-minded "Andrew, 32, of Manhattan" rockin' the mad quote?
