Mercury “Know Your Mercury” Pop Quiz!

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Fri, Mar 28 at 2:01 PM

Our lovely ad designer Monet Molina was digging around in the Mercury archives yesterday, and came up with this classic staff photo from year one of our paper (circa. 2001).

scaled.staff%20photos011.jpeg

Unfortunately due to a previous and alarming intake of booze, ecstasy, and lead based paint, I can no longer remember half the names of the original Mercury staff. THAT’S WHERE YOU COME IN!

Look closely at the above photo, and in the comments section below, identify by first name as many people in this picture as you can. I’ll check back in around this time on Monday (after doing some of my own research), and the person who correctly identifies the most original Mercury employees will win a pair of handcuffs and nipple clamps originally owned by the girl in the photo lifting her shirt.

Current and past Mercury employees are allowed to participate—HOWEVER! They must also provide the employees’ last names AND their original job at the paper!

REMEMBER: CONTEST ENDS AT 2 PM-ish MONDAY! Good luck!

I see:
Steve Humphrey-editor
Julianne Sheperd-arts editor
Rob Crocker-publisher
Katia Dunn and her boobies-editor
Phil Busse-editor
Katie Shimer-Office manager
Sarah Daley -sales
Brodie Hylton- lots of jobs, don't know what he did then
I think maybe that might be Mae Costello in the back row but I can't tell. she was the circulation director I think
I think the fat guy with the mustache is Nichole Farup sales manager
The guy with his arms crossed is the original art director but I don't remember his name.
The rest are a mystery...

Ms. Tits McAnarchy = Matt Davis.

The guy with his arms crossed is Sean Tet...Tetrajchi? Fuck. The guy who did 'Craphound'. Sean something.

So many shitty memories.

Upon closer inspection, the man with the mustache is none other than Jen Davison Art Director. That makes Sean Tetrajchi the Production Manager.

And Brad Buckner wins! Enjoy your handcuffs and nipple clamps, Brad. (If you like, I can show you how to use them.)
