note: names have been changed to protect the guilty.

I was at Cliff's house for the Fourth of July. We were on his computer, looking stuff up at everyone's favorite search engine, when one of us decided to type an address into the location bar.

Bad idea.

Thanks to the magic of Internuts Explorer's auto fill-in feature, as he typed we could see the names of several different porn sites flash on the screen. We all pretended to ignore what we saw.

A few minutes later, we made the mistake of looking at the recent items list. Among other things, it included BIGDICK01.mpg and LESXXX~004. Bill looked appalled. Cliff denied all knowledge of what was going on. Containing our laughter, Steve and I had to leave. We took a walk and decided to just not mention it and let it slide.

I can honestly say that that was the most awkward moment of my life. One friend's secret, shameful fetishes laid bare before the all the others. And he wasn't even smart enough to clean up his mess when he was done.

Nobody should ever see another's porn collection. So don't leave it where I will stumble across it, and I won't go digging for it, all right, Cliff? Thanks.
