Well, not quite... but pulling out the ol' itoop cheese helped me score a coop job for the summer. Yes, believe it or not, actually admitting that I have anything to do with this 'web site' of ours did not result in a stoning or any profound feeling of shame, the likes of which you spend hours wallowing in your own filth and tears.

It all started back in January, when I was preparing my resume for the coop process. In other words, I was desperately searching for crap to put on it. I came upon itoop; even if I actually included itoop cheese on my resume, where would I put it? "Professional skills"... hah! "Work Experience"... oh the hilarity. I decided to put it in personal interests, the haven for things that nobody cares about. Or so I thought.

So then I have this interview. It's going pretty well, I'm gabbing about school and what not, when I'm asked about my pasttimes. So's I mention extortion, emergency surgery, raising the dead, you know, regular stuff. Then we came across itoop. We must have talked for a good 5 or 10 minutes about designing it, writing for it, how far we wanted to take the site, etc. We talked about e-zines and theonion.com (one of my personal favorites) - it was awesome!

Mind you, there were other factors that led me to getting this job. My razor-sharp wit, my striking beauty (which somehow got through to Toronto - it was a phone interview) and my ability to... use... big... words. But after all, isn't embellishing the truth what itoop is all about? Exactly.

So in conclusion, I testify to the genius of itoop and all itoop-related topics. To all those who oppo... hey who threw that stone?
