Ralph Eng Revealed
For months, I struggled to figure out who Ralph Eng was. He’d left messages on my site several times. At first, I felt kinda guilty. Some of his responses/comments were pretty personal. I couldn’t believe that I’d apparently shared such personal details with someone who I couldn’t even remember his face. A time or two, the comments were so rude that I ended up removing them from the site all together. I even mentioned Ralph to my friend Linda. She got annoyed with me over the whole “Ng” vs “Eng” thing, when in reality I asked her b/c she knew our whole blog circle. (We also share a lot of friends.) Finally, it hit me that I did know Ralph Eng. No, it wasn’t some weird Fight Club situation. Ralph was apparently a pen name for someone that I knew. I figured that the person would eventually come clean. I just had to wait.
Finally, after months and months, I busted Ralph right before the holidays. Actually, if it weren’t for law school, the bar exam, lack of money, drive and ambition, I would become a lawyer. At times, my logic skills are really quite uncanny. Right before the holidays, Ralph replied to one of my posts which that mentioned that I didn’t feel well. My buddy, Ralph, thought he’d be funny by commenting about how I might not feel so bad, if I had only taken it a little more easy at my company’s holiday party.
Busted.
What Ralph didn’t know is that I took it shamefully easy at the company’s holiday party b/c I already wasn’t feeling well. In fact, I was one of the first folks to leave the party. More importantly, Ralph didn’t know that I hadn’t told ANYONE about my holiday party. In fact, I wasn’t planning to go because I had a final exam scheduled for that same evening.
Ralph must know someone that I work with at my new job. Ah-ha!
Even after I confronted Ralph, he denied the situation for several weeks before he finally confessed.
Ralph is a 30-something blonde from GA, who apparently has a bit of penis envy.
