Anyway, below is a genuine email exchange that took place in my work email over the last day or so. I hope you enjoy it; I certainly did.

subject Death to hyphy?

[coworker 2],

I know that since you’re in Hyderabad you probably didnt see this week’s cover of SF weekly:

http://www.sfweekly.com/2008-02-20/news/the-demise-of-hyphy/

That’s right the “Demise” of Hyphy. I will send along the phsyical copy I have which calls it the DEATH of hyphy.

[meaplet] thinks they’re confused. It’s cause you’re in India! Hyphy isnt dead, it’s just asleep cause [coworker 2] is away!

Have a great time, and know that we’re looking forward to your (and Hyphy’s) imminent return to the Yay.

Haha thanks [coworker 1]. Guess I got a little greedy and took all the hyphy with me. I’ll bring it back, fa sho. ;)

Keep it real in the Yay … * pops collar *

Moral of the story: the Bay Guardian, no longer satisfied with harshing on my employer, is now harshing on KMEL as well. What’s up with that?
