Joey deVilla, the AccordionGuy<\/a>, last week waxed enthusiastic about “Ten Cool Things About The New Girl”:<\/p>\n

– She went to high school at the hoity-toity Trafalgar College in Montreal
\n
\n– She graduated from University of British Columbia with a degree in computer engineering
\n
\n– She worked as a webmaster at Alliance Atlantis…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…she cooks, programs, dances, is cute, and so forth. Complete with photo. Hmm.
\n
\nSo, Joey’s a nice guy (anybody who puts me on his blogroll must<\/i> be a nice guy, right?), so I thought this was worth thinking about… and I pondered about this sudden enthusiasm… while deciding whether to send e-mail, join the congratulants commenting on his post, or to post here… and trying to hit the appropriate balance between cautious optimism and sounds-too-good-to-be-true… then, while my comments still hovered on the fuzzy side of the Heisenberg barrier… he yanks his post.
\n
\nUh<\/i>-oh, I thought.
\n
\nSo today he tells, in great detail, what happened<\/a>; it was a sham. More’s the pity.
\n
\nThe interesting part is that a reader of his weblog recognized the “New Girl” from the photo he posted, and decided to blow the whistle on her. Just after I saw the news on his RSS feed, Boing Boing<\/a> also had a note, and many other webloggers commented. Joey has quite a lot of free beer coming to him, it seems… I may buy him one myself next time I go to Toronto. \ud83d\ude00
\n
\nJoey, I wish you better luck next time. Meanwhile, how about reposting the original entry (with names changed and so forth)? I think this might be helpful to other people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
