A Decade of (Mutual Self) Destruction

This year, Evil and I are sharing our 10 year anniversary as friends.

Recently, I was forced to write a letter of recommendation about my friend. Lots of great material that sould make the a letter like this but most of the good stuff was cut out. Here are some slices that did not make the cut.


Secret Origins

10 years ago on in the back of a computer science class no one much liked or learned anything of (or stayed awake in for that matter) I noticed a mousey chinese kid throw skittles at the back for an annoying classmates head for the entire 80 minutes we sat there. When said annoyance would turn around as if he were going to do something, mousey chinese kid would barely register his annoyonace and go back to playing with the remaining skittles on his desk. This walking demonstration of social anxiety was [Evil] and from that moment I knew I would never have to fear


Ravage

On a team project, to create a computer program that could play checkers, we got goofy. At one point, we wrote a function called ravage() (after the Transformer) that would tally up the number of dead pieces on the board after any possibly move. Evil once suggested we should name it anal_ravage() and followed this thought to its logical conclusions of trying to figure out the market for transformer themed pornography.

Team Rachel
In 2002, Evil, KenTak and I joined Mr. Shoulders in the birth of Team Rachel. A strip club on the Orange Blosson Trail in Orlando Florida. We were so named because we played The International Club as a foursome, wearing Rachel's logod hats.

Biting my Style
Evil is a lazy funny person. He's funny as hell but hardly ever tries. Evil has not had an original thought since about 1997. Instead he carries a small notebook and jots down anything I say that is even remotely funny. Sometimes he can't be bothered and just echos my punchlines 1.5 seconds after i'm done

For example:
Me: Team Rachel
Him: Team Rachel (hahah)

Also, he retreads really old stuff sometimes. I first noted there was something gay going on with He-Man in 1998...VH1 stole it 3 years later for their "I Love The 80s" review. He posted something about this on the blog, 3 days ago...

You're my brother evil...try not to change...except for the thing mentioned above...
