...and thought about it momentarily. [laugh] Title: Re: Tempting job ad Post by: Spidey on December 19, 2008, 03:47:39 PM Dude, your job would be smack between Zeitgeist and Ace Cafe.
Oh, yeah. And it'd be porn. AWESOME. Spidey gives it two <insert appendage> up. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Tempting job ad Post by: mostrobelle on December 19, 2008, 03:58:07 PM You know what's really sad? The only thing that was a <ahem> turn-off was that it was marketing-based and not quite as creative as I would like it to be. The <ahem> "soft"ware requirements would be an issue as well. [cheeky]
Contest: how many double entendres can someone come <ahem> up with in one post? [laugh] Title: Re: Tempting job ad Post by: desmoquattro on December 19, 2008, 05:31:57 PM That was posted by my friend Mike, their chief software architect. Absolutely wonderful place to work (seriously). They're a great employer.
