its kinda hard out here for a pimp...

a few months ago, my boss found an Ipod, but he still is "afraid" to sync it with his computer for some reason, and thinks that the original owner may surface. 

He's been listening to the playlists, and his current 'fav's are the Hustle and Flow themesong and Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl. 

hee!  55 yr old white male engineer gettin' down to Pimp music.

Why does that remind of the scene "Hard to be a Gangsta" from Office Space?

HaHaHa. I read the "found and iPod" link and really laughed. My husband had an oddly similar, less technologically advanced experience. A few years ago, we went to a moving sale. The sale was going on because a middle-upper class thirty-something black couple was getting married and moving in together (i.e., there was two of almost everything). When we got to the sale, the guy was in the bathroom, taking a shower (why one would be taking a shower during one's garage/yard sale, I don't know). So, my husband spots a box of records that are there, but a bit off to the side. He asked for how much would they sell the whole collection. She said she would ask. We heard her stand at the door to the bathroom and say, "Someone wants to buy most of the records. What do you want me to do?" I forget his exact response, but it was something along the lines of, "I trust your judgment."

We got many, many boxes of LPs for $20. But, my husband has been honestly enjoying most of it. I must admit, the cover art back then was really great.
