Mark me down for one more percentage point on the ol’ Internet Purity Test. I’ve encountered most of the classic situations. I’ve received a sexy IM that was meant for someone else but my IM to the sender popped up at the wrong time. I’ve met someone IRL after meeting them online and been surprised by their gender. I’ve discovered that one of my online friends is really just another one of my online friends. I’ve got friends who never send me email but send me several stupid-joke-or-heartwarming-anecdote emails a day. Why, just last week I forwarded an email to my roommate that had gone out to all employees of my company announcing the departure of an unpopular coworker, and he replied with a message congratulating me for outlasting them and calling them some vulgar names… replied to “all”, that is.

But I never thought I’d see somebody I knew on a porn site.

Gaywatch.com appears to be some sort of peep house. Note that this is a GAY PORN site, so don’t click on that link if visiting a gay porn site will threaten your career or marriage, though I can promise that you will see no cockenballs or nekkid butts on the front page. The guy on the right, “Wolf”, is a former coworker of mine and the ex of a friend. I’m sure that if I clicked further I would learn more about him than I ever wanted to know.

As it happens, I was not surfing the web for gay porn when I found this out. Lupe saw him in an ad in the sleazy section of an Indianapolis free paper. So I don’t know if this really counts.
