8. I hear tranny's are cheap in Costa Rica. Talk about your first experience with one.

Can't say I have had much experience with any......only one thing comes to mind:

Some of us were down in Jaco (where the CR Bash will be coincidentally!) at an afterhour club called La Centrale. We had been drinking and partying all day and night, and not surprisingly, were drunk. I got grabbed by what turned out to be a tranny and kissed "it" - but that's as far as it went.

Another girl came by and pulled me away, saving me though

However, I am not the only one from our team this has happened to in Jaco lol - I'll let you guess who the other one was

I went to a kickass store across from the Mandalay Bay, called LV Club Wear. The owner, Bob, gave me 50% off everything I bought in exchange for a few passes - so I took advantage of it.

Here's a pic of me and Bob:

Varius · 12-20-2005, 03:18 PM

9. Why did the bouncers think you were stealing purses when you couldn't afford shoes?

Ha this one didn't exactly happen TO me, but I played my role in it.

We were three guys going to a club, and they had a dress code where running shoes couldnt get in. That was fine for me and Mike, but our other friend had running shoes.

We hatched a plan.

Mike and I went outside, then I sat near the door and took my shoes off. Mike went outside to bring them to our friend, so he could get in. Well, hiding shoes under your shirt as you walk out does kind of look like you are trying to hide something

The bouncer thought a purse was being stolen, but pretty much laughed when he found out the whole story and that i was sitting near the door shoeless. No bad ending here, no bouncer beatdown

Mpegmaster · 12-20-2005, 03:23 PM

LOL VARIUS sounds like a fun guy!!!!!

AIREK yep yep yep......i am waiting.....

Varius · 12-20-2005, 03:50 PM

Ok guess I have to answer some more to keep this thing alive

10. Why is windex perferable to soap when cleaning an escort?

A former co-worker of mine back in Montreal, Billy, was kind of a shy guy. He really liked to order escorts though, since then he didn't have to try and go pickup in person. One day he was complaining he wanted to get one, but only wanted to pay half so I told him get one and we'll both fuck her.

He got one, but he was too shy to do anything in front of me. I had no such qualms. Anyhow, when I was ready to cum, she was blowing him so I pulled out and came all over her back.

She asked if I could clean it up, so I looked around and saw a roll of paper towels and a bottle of windex - we were in the office after all. I started spraying her with Windex and cleaned it off.

You had to be there, but it was hilarious. The girl even found it funny, only poor ol' Billy was left in disbelief

Here's a quick one

11. How much did you pay Sleazy to ambush you? We all know he's biased to AFF.

I bribed him with what we bribe anyone we do business with: Costa Rican whores...err, I mean beautiful women.

Varius · 12-20-2005, 04:56 PM

12. How many times have you bought boxes of rocks thinking they were laptops?

Ha! I think it's only happened twice, but they never actually contained rocks

Once there was a guy supposedly selling "hot" laptops from a parking lot, so I went with him to try it out but we couldnt find an outlet. In the end, his story sounded pretty good (friend works at FutureShop, stole some off the shipment) so the allure of a $200 laptop (he wanted 400-500 but I offered 200) was too good to pass up. When I got upstairs and unwrapped the layers of ceran wrap form th ebox, it was stuffed with ripped newspaper - heavy like a laptop though

I couldn't find that guy anywhere around after that.

The second time, a guy actually had us drive to (supposedly) his apartment complex. I went in with him, and he said he'd go up and get it. He came back down and said his uncle won't let him take it without seeing cash first; now he wanted the full amount but I refused, so he went back up empty-handed. He came back down saying how about $100, I countered with $40. He went back up and vanished. I stormed the halls of that building but never found him

Varius · 12-20-2005, 05:55 PM

Gotta head out, so last one for now until later. Don't let it die whilst I'm away - or else

13. Is it true you'll fuck anyone or anything so long as they buy you drinks?

Well, I have no interest in having sexual relations with any men. Contrary to some of the stories you might find out in this thread, I am purely Heterosexual. No matter HOW much alcohol they're offering

Now I can think of one incident that's a great example for this question.

There was a bar we usually hugn out at on Wednesdays and one night, really drunk, a less-than-attractive women wantedto go home with me but I wasn't going for it. She offered to pay my bar tab if we left right away, so I gave in and said hell yeah! She was ok sexually, but still not very attractive.

The following week, at the same bar, she spotted me again and wanted to leave with me that night again. I told her I wasn't really interested, so she offered to pay my bar tab again (not even started at this point) as long as at the end of the night I left with her.

Well as Jeff can attest, my bar tabs can get quite large LOL. She happily paid it though, so I held up my end of the bargain. Saw her occasionally there after that but didn't repeat the process.

Note: It was clear to her from the start it was only for some sex, no relationship type things. So don't go calling me a prick for "leading on women" - I never lead them anywhere

Varius · 12-20-2005, 09:10 PM

You all let this die while I was gone

14. How often do you drink all night and not have enough money to pay your bar tab?

Hasn't really happened anytime in recent years that I can remember....although I suppose if it did I would just have to wait for some girl to pay it for me like in question #13

fuzebox · 12-20-2005, 10:41 PM

ok, that jacuzzi thing is just sick, what were you thinking...

SleazyDream · 12-20-2005, 10:44 PM

Varius · 12-20-2005, 11:30 PM

15. Were you involved in the planet 411 venture capital stock scandel?

I only wish I were - those guys made a KILLING.

Unfortunately at the time, that was my first internet job and I was only data entry. By the time I started advancing to programming, the company went bankrupt due to the "scam".

In brief, there were about 12 owners, who ran a company with 40 or so employees, never actually launching a real finished product. However they had huge hype and investment behind the project; they even had billboards for their "canadian portal" website on buses and in the metro.

Well once the IPO completed and stocks flew up to about $8, they all sold out - all became rich. Every employee had numerous stock options as well, which would have been worth quite a bit, but there was on catch: they could only be exercised after a certain date.

By that date, they had fallen completely off the charts and the shares weren't even worth a fraction of a cent

16. Talk about your 'patch'.

Well, the patch is actually no more - may it R.I.P

It was simply a patch of hair on my lower back, that gained itself an obvious nickname at the Wisol office

Not much more ot say on this one I don't think....

Maybe we should think about Mexico

Varius · 12-21-2005, 10:16 AM

Good morning folks - let's get this thing rolling again!

17. Discuss Wisol.com

Well this could be a very long story, as it did span a good 3+ years of my life

I'll try and sum it up briefly though.

I originally got hired by Wisol.com (Worldwide Internet Solutions) as a Junior PHP programmer. At the time, the company was focusing on hosting, IwantU, CashRing, numerous other projects as well as offering design/programming services to clients. Things went very well, and I learnt a LOT and gained a LOT of experience there especially in the first year and a half. I have to thank Michael for that. I moved my way up through different positions like programmer, tech-support and sysadmin (usually doing all three at once). I also touched on probably every other position there at one time or another, excluding graphic design.

Eventually, the decision was made to put some focus on only IwantU/CashRing and the hosting side of things and drop the other projects and services for clients. I think this was an extremely good idea. Further down the road, we got to a point where a huge decision was made: to split IwantU/CashRing away from the Hosting side of the business and move its management/development to Costa Rica. I was one of the four "Pioneers" who came, along with Rosalia Lara, Michael and his wife.

Over two years now here, and in hindsight it was a great move. Wisol still hosts us and supports us technically, but IwantU is advancing much quicker than if we had stayed in Montreal.

On a comical note, I once lived in the Wisol office for close to a year and a half. Another co-worker and I got screwed in renting an apartment, so what turned into a joke "why not stay in the office so you're not late" turned into something real. We even kicked Michael out of his office to make a lounge, and had a shower in the closet

MJ_AVN · 12-21-2005, 11:00 AM

Keith - one of the first cats I met in this business. Still one of the coolest. Can't wait for Vegas. Rock on, brother!

seeric · 12-21-2005, 11:16 AM

man, your team is owning on you!

Vitasoy · 12-21-2005, 11:21 AM

I'll be keeping an eye on this one

Varius · 12-21-2005, 11:26 AM

18. Discuss the time you were at a porn party and had 'technical difficulties'. I understand there are pics.....

For some pics, you'd better ask Dugmor - he'd be the one to find any

Having "technical difficulties" in my case was only ever due to too much alcohol. I haven't ever tried any chemical methods that may have helped when drunk though. When I'm not wasted, my equipment functions just fine - hell, better than fine -

Now the above reminds me of two situations, but I'll save the better story for one of the questions coming up later....so stay tuned. It's a lot more interesting than this answer

The other time that comes to mind was an after-party shoot/gangbang type party, with Dugmor and some of his crew and some other peoples from Montreal. I was wrecked, and just wasn't getting it hard no matter how I tried: classic liquour dick.

Good thing you have a sig, or I wouldn't have recognized that this is your handle on GFY and been quite confused

Montreal last time was a blast partying with you, should be a lot of opportunities for more of that in 2006

See you in Vegas - Costa Rica (?) - Phoenix

Varius · 12-21-2005, 11:40 AM

Ok one more before I head out to lunch.

19. Why did you fail out of computer science at college?

The first semester, I breezed through learning QBasic and Logic, etc...and that was fine. By the time my second semester came around, they started teaching languages like COBOL and VB, which I had absolutely ZERO interest in learning.

I pretty much never bothered showing up to those classes anymore, and onyl went to the ones like Gym and Psychology. I completely skipped my final exams.

Thus, not surpringly, they kicked me out. I wrote the Dean of the dept. a letter saying I was working too much (not true) and had issues that's why I couldn't make classes, so they let me back in for a third semester.

Again, I only attended the "fun" classes or classes filled with girls. It was a good school for picking up women

I do remember one key sentence a teacher said though, that made me instantly decide to drop out. When they were teacing languages 50 years old, I asked him what he wanted us to become with this knowledge. He said "you can work for big banks or people using old systems". I knew then and ther it wasn't for me - and looks like my choice paid off pretty well

Varius · 12-21-2005, 02:07 PM

20. Why did you move from Montreal to Costa Rica?

Montreal was starting to get a bit stale for me, so I figured why not change scenes and give Costa Rica a shot. Not having to pay taxes helped in the decision too

However, I can see myself at sometime in the future being ready to try another place to live. I can't stay in one place for too long, it gets boring. Scotland, Japan and Australia are on tops of list for places to visit / potentially live in.

Varius · 12-21-2005, 02:47 PM

21. How did IwantU start?

Way back in 1996, Michael came up with the idea of launching a dating site that specifically caters to the adult audience.

Fascinated by the idea, Michael started programming IwantU.com from within the four walls of his apartment not expecting such an overwhelming success. Once the demand grew greater than his ability, he hired 2 of his long time friends to help him out with the programming and customer support. (Mo and Anya, both having parted ways a few years back)

He then created Wisol to host and run IwantU and also get into the hosting market.

Very shortly around the time he started IwantU, was when I met and became friends with Michael. I never expected (nor did he) that we would ever work together, nor that we would still be working together and where we are today

myjah · 12-21-2005, 02:56 PM

This is my all time favorite Ambush Interview!!! I have laughed all the way thru it! Varius is just so great, you never know what he'll say or do next.

Varius · 12-21-2005, 03:28 PM

22. Why did you abandon your friends after 350 shots?

Au contraire, some abandoned me

This story goes as follows: Peel Pub in Montreal has $1 shot night on Thursdays, which was a few blocks from our office. We had just sold a used pc to someone for a few hundred bucks cash and decided to go there to blow the money.

Five of us went, and with our $400 ended up ordering about 350 shots (and $50 tip). They would only bring 100 at a time though, we did take a pic of our table full of those shots on it. If I'm not mistaken, we arranged them into shapes too like a "69" and I think our logo.

Well some got given aaway to girls, but we drank the majority of them. There were 30 different types available for $1 so we had a huge mix of colors. I think Michael, Jeff and myself had close to 70 each, with the others having maybe 50-60. By far the hardest one was the Bad Habits (vodka/peach schnapps) as they are only alcohol.

Two of the other guys who drank the least took off, while we continued I think with some Long Island pitchers

In the end, his story sounded pretty good (friend works at FutureShop, stole some off the shipment) so the allure of a $200 laptop (he wanted 400-500 but I offered 200) was too good to pass up. When I got upstairs and unwrapped the layers of ceran wrap form th ebox, it was stuffed with ripped newspaper - heavy like a laptop though I couldn't find that guy anywhere around after that. The second time, a guy actually had us drive to (supposedly) his apartment complex. I went in with him, and he said he'd go up and get it. He came back down and said his uncle won't let him take it without seeing cash first; now he wanted the full amount but I refused, so he went back up empty-handed. He came back down saying how about $100, I countered with $40. He went back up and vanished. I stormed the halls of that building but never found him __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Is it true you'll fuck anyone or anything so long as they buy you drinks? Well, I have no interest in having sexual relations with any men. Contrary to some of the stories you might find out in this thread, I am purely Heterosexual. No matter HOW much alcohol they're offering Now I can think of one incident that's a great example for this question. There was a bar we usually hugn out at on Wednesdays and one night, really drunk, a less-than-attractive women wantedto go home with me but I wasn't going for it. She offered to pay my bar tab if we left right away, so I gave in and said hell yeah! She was ok sexually, but still not very attractive. The following week, at the same bar, she spotted me again and wanted to leave with me that night again. I told her I wasn't really interested, so she offered to pay my bar tab again (not even started at this point) as long as at the end of the night I left with her. Well as Jeff can attest, my bar tabs can get quite large LOL. She happily paid it though, so I held up my end of the bargain. Saw her occasionally there after that but didn't repeat the process. Note: It was clear to her from the start it was only for some sex, no relationship type things. So don't go calling me a prick for "leading on women" - I never lead them anywhere __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

How often do you drink all night and not have enough money to pay your bar tab? Hasn't really happened anytime in recent years that I can remember....although I suppose if it did I would just have to wait for some girl to pay it for me like in question #13 __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

I only wish I were - those guys made a KILLING. Unfortunately at the time, that was my first internet job and I was only data entry. By the time I started advancing to programming, the company went bankrupt due to the "scam". In brief, there were about 12 owners, who ran a company with 40 or so employees, never actually launching a real finished product. However they had huge hype and investment behind the project; they even had billboards for their "canadian portal" website on buses and in the metro. Well once the IPO completed and stocks flew up to about $8, they all sold out - all became rich. Every employee had numerous stock options as well, which would have been worth quite a bit, but there was on catch: they could only be exercised after a certain date. By that date, they had fallen completely off the charts and the shares weren't even worth a fraction of a cent __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Well, the patch is actually no more - may it R.I.P It was simply a patch of hair on my lower back, that gained itself an obvious nickname at the Wisol office Not much more ot say on this one I don't think.... __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Varius Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: New York, NY Posts: 6,890	Good morning folks - let's get this thing rolling again! 17. Discuss Wisol.com Well this could be a very long story, as it did span a good 3+ years of my life I'll try and sum it up briefly though. I originally got hired by Wisol.com (Worldwide Internet Solutions) as a Junior PHP programmer. At the time, the company was focusing on hosting, IwantU, CashRing, numerous other projects as well as offering design/programming services to clients. Things went very well, and I learnt a LOT and gained a LOT of experience there especially in the first year and a half. I have to thank Michael for that. I moved my way up through different positions like programmer, tech-support and sysadmin (usually doing all three at once). I also touched on probably every other position there at one time or another, excluding graphic design. Eventually, the decision was made to put some focus on only IwantU/CashRing and the hosting side of things and drop the other projects and services for clients. I think this was an extremely good idea. Further down the road, we got to a point where a huge decision was made: to split IwantU/CashRing away from the Hosting side of the business and move its management/development to Costa Rica. I was one of the four "Pioneers" who came, along with Rosalia Lara, Michael and his wife. Over two years now here, and in hindsight it was a great move. Wisol still hosts us and supports us technically, but IwantU is advancing much quicker than if we had stayed in Montreal. On a comical note, I once lived in the Wisol office for close to a year and a half. Another co-worker and I got screwed in renting an apartment, so what turned into a joke "why not stay in the office so you're not late" turned into something real. We even kicked Michael out of his office to make a lounge, and had a shower in the closet __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail Last edited by Varius; 12-21-2005 at 10:17 AM..

I understand there are pics..... For some pics, you'd better ask Dugmor - he'd be the one to find any Having "technical difficulties" in my case was only ever due to too much alcohol. I haven't ever tried any chemical methods that may have helped when drunk though. When I'm not wasted, my equipment functions just fine - hell, better than fine - Now the above reminds me of two situations, but I'll save the better story for one of the questions coming up later....so stay tuned. It's a lot more interesting than this answer The other time that comes to mind was an after-party shoot/gangbang type party, with Dugmor and some of his crew and some other peoples from Montreal. I was wrecked, and just wasn't getting it hard no matter how I tried: classic liquour dick. __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Varius Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: New York, NY Posts: 6,890	Ok one more before I head out to lunch. 19. Why did you fail out of computer science at college? The first semester, I breezed through learning QBasic and Logic, etc...and that was fine. By the time my second semester came around, they started teaching languages like COBOL and VB, which I had absolutely ZERO interest in learning. I pretty much never bothered showing up to those classes anymore, and onyl went to the ones like Gym and Psychology. I completely skipped my final exams. Thus, not surpringly, they kicked me out. I wrote the Dean of the dept. a letter saying I was working too much (not true) and had issues that's why I couldn't make classes, so they let me back in for a third semester. Again, I only attended the "fun" classes or classes filled with girls. It was a good school for picking up women I do remember one key sentence a teacher said though, that made me instantly decide to drop out. When they were teacing languages 50 years old, I asked him what he wanted us to become with this knowledge. He said "you can work for big banks or people using old systems". I knew then and ther it wasn't for me - and looks like my choice paid off pretty well __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Varius Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: New York, NY Posts: 6,890	20. Why did you move from Montreal to Costa Rica? Montreal was starting to get a bit stale for me, so I figured why not change scenes and give Costa Rica a shot. Not having to pay taxes helped in the decision too However, I can see myself at sometime in the future being ready to try another place to live. I can't stay in one place for too long, it gets boring. Scotland, Japan and Australia are on tops of list for places to visit / potentially live in. __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Varius Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: New York, NY Posts: 6,890	21. How did IwantU start? Way back in 1996, Michael came up with the idea of launching a dating site that specifically caters to the adult audience. Fascinated by the idea, Michael started programming IwantU.com from within the four walls of his apartment not expecting such an overwhelming success. Once the demand grew greater than his ability, he hired 2 of his long time friends to help him out with the programming and customer support. (Mo and Anya, both having parted ways a few years back) He then created Wisol to host and run IwantU and also get into the hosting market. Very shortly around the time he started IwantU, was when I met and became friends with Michael. I never expected (nor did he) that we would ever work together, nor that we would still be working together and where we are today __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail

Varius Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: New York, NY Posts: 6,890	22. Why did you abandon your friends after 350 shots? Au contraire, some abandoned me This story goes as follows: Peel Pub in Montreal has $1 shot night on Thursdays, which was a few blocks from our office. We had just sold a used pc to someone for a few hundred bucks cash and decided to go there to blow the money. Five of us went, and with our $400 ended up ordering about 350 shots (and $50 tip). They would only bring 100 at a time though, we did take a pic of our table full of those shots on it. If I'm not mistaken, we arranged them into shapes too like a "69" and I think our logo. Well some got given aaway to girls, but we drank the majority of them. There were 30 different types available for $1 so we had a huge mix of colors. I think Michael, Jeff and myself had close to 70 each, with the others having maybe 50-60. By far the hardest one was the Bad Habits (vodka/peach schnapps) as they are only alcohol. Two of the other guys who drank the least took off, while we continued I think with some Long Island pitchers __________________ Skype variuscr - Email varius AT gmail
