David's Beer Call Archive My self-indulgent quest for eternal department infamy!! Here is an archive of my calls to Koerner's pub while I was Beer Czar. There are a large number of inside jokes, so if you do not understand a comment, it is probably just me being self-indulgent.

Inappropriate Comments Disclaimer: It is pretty safe to say that there is at least 1 rude or low brow comment in each and every email so please read at your own risk. These emails have been posted for anyone who wants to reminisce (and so I can correct some of the spelling mistakes I made). They are provided exclusively for entertainment purposes for fellow UBC CS grads in my year. ......I probably should remove this archive if I ever want to get a job. :) All that being said: enjoy! Penoffing!!!
