The CUSU Drama Socety Is Proud To Present: Saj a.k.a. Carlito Q-Tip

There were originally two photos of the infamous Carlito Q-Tip, simply because the man leads a double life, but I'm a cunt, so I've only posted the one where he looks like capitalist scum.

By day, he's a mild mannered management consultant, and by night, Shoreditch super-hipster extraordinaire. One of the Ta-Dhin collective, an electronica/acoustica musician/DJ with a love for photoshopping ant heads on little children. I can't remember WHY we decided to call him Carlito Q-Tip. I'm sure it has something to do with an amusing anecdote about a Q-Tip, but I can't remember. I'm sure it has nothing to do with his manhood.

Or maybe he just likes to fuck people in the ear.

From the whole City crew, this is the one guy I still keep in contact with. He calls from time to time from his office phone claiming he's talking to important clients in Malaysia.

Interesting story about my man Saj:

At one point in this man's life, Saj was feeling rather down. Actually, that's an understatement. The guy was balls deep in depression over some girl (for reasons we shall not disclose) and, quite frankly, we were all sick of having a Dawson amongst us.

His musical playlist didn't help much, either. There's only so much happiness to be derived from endlessly listening to Tori Amos, Chris Isaac and the Dawson's Creek soundtrack Vol.1.

One day, I pulled him into my room, sat him in front of my laptop and said, "that's it. Listen to this".

A few heavy doses of Blink 182 and other pop-punk pap, and the man began to smile again. In retrospect, I should have realized I may have given him too heavy a dose when he started salivating over Linkin Park.

Oh, well. Could be worse. At least he's not into 'Busted'.

The most level-headed guy in the group, always there when you need a friend, and (during his uni years, at least) scapegoat of gay ambiguity jokes. Not anymore, though. Now he's super confident playa extraordinaire. We should all be so lucky to have a friend like Carlito.

God, that sounds sappy. Where's the creek?

Thanks for the props, such as they are. You HAD to put the picture in where I look like I get anally rendered by the Capitalist machine.
B*stard.
A clue to the origin of Q-Tip: we were discussing the actual mechanics of a headfuck.
PS. Thanks for not bringing up either Banglaman or the chafing story.

Oh, don't worry... that's going in the 'recollections' section!
Hmm... should I upload the video?
