Temptations

So, we had a great dinner tonite for Shahrukh's birthday. Unfortunately, late in the meal (which was fully cooked in most cases), the conversation turned away from Shahrukh to various other subjects. Of most interest to you, reader, is the conversation we had about our "lusts" in the CS department. Many were real, but most weren't. Unfortunately, one anonymous person decided that he or she would blackmail me if I posted their identity. So, we'll just list the remaining quotations anonymously and using "aliases":
1. "That shrimp was succulent."
2. "*name* is a machine!"
3. "SR (tough my ...) is the hottest person in the department" (said by someone who may, or may not, work on Strata.)
4. "(in unison) Malathi" (one of the two saying that in unison may, or may not, have been the birthday boy himself)
5. "DB IS HOT!"

All in all, it was quite a night. Many of us revealed man crushes (okay, that was just me) and others tried to pay the waiter in exact change (again, that was just me).

I guess the take home idea today is this: when you roll into a place wearing a tshirt and a fleece jacket, the waitresses are bound to think you are hot!
