I didn't want to do this, both because it's horrible and because it encourages bad behavior, but Awl Office of Management and Business Development Chief Operating Officer David Cho insists that we end each day with something interesting or, failing that, a video, because people like videos. Anyway, this abomination was created by commenter Mathnet and makes me sick to my stomach, but, you know, what are you gonna do? I guess it's an incentive to make tomorrow a better day. Which, looking at this, it pretty much has to be, right? Anyway, enjoy. Alternately: Sorry.

Dammit, I already wasted my incredibly clever comment about this in the other post.

You could try doing something about the end of your heterosexuality, if that helps.
On that note: who is the blonde? And is he, um, one of Choire's people?
That is legendary pitcher Mike Boddicker.
Pitcher, eh? So he is one of Choire's. Dang.
I was quite clever. And also exactly how I felt. (I'll scamper along now.)
It - IT not I, JOLIE - was quite clever. mutter mutter so embarrassing mutter mutter
But it's horrible in the most wonderful way!
See, now THIS is funny.
Funny, Balk, I've seen you do the finger point move in person. Almost less disturbing than your barely attached, Chippendale'd head doing it. Almost.
For those of us outside the media masturbatorium, who the fuck are these people?
Yeah, like YOU are outside the media masturbatorium, Rod.
Dude, I work in manufacturing - operations management. I make things profitable and efficient. How much more outside of media could I be?
[Note: One night, whilst in a hash-induced daze in a Marrakech nightclub, Clarence granted me power of attorney, ergo I shall continue his point]
Yeah, but you WRITE FOR GAWKER AND THIS SITE. Plus you have your own presumably very popular blerg. Admit it, Rod, you have become the man.
Additionally, I maintain that 'operations management' isn't really a thing.
Okay I've watched it twice. And frankly, I'm scared to watch it a third time for fear that it's some got some beetlejuice shit going on and will come alive in my kitchen.
Dear Mathnet: may I plz have 1 Sarah Palin pole-dancing video?
thnx,
HG

Hope that'll do.

is what I actually meant to paste obvs.
And now it is 5PM here, I assume the 2-drink minimum rule applies?

OK the fact that no one knows who these people are? Makes me wonder if I do. I was aiming for Choire, Balk, Pareene, Ken Layne and Tom Scocca. Don't lose heart, Dave Bry! If you weren't so mysterious to Google Images, you'd totes be pressin' it too.
THIS IS LOVE
No Cho?
Right! No, don't know what Cho looks like. . . you?
He uses his pic in his avatar when he posts. Unless that is some other Asian guy and I am hopelessly uninformed about Asian people. (Which I am.)
The fact that I knew who they were makes me feel strange about myself.
The most disturbing thing is that Choire's face looks oddly appropriate to the situation. (Where is The Cat, though?)
So are the two I don't know Pareene and Richard?
Whoops, Mathnet answered as I was clicking "Submit," apparently. 4/5 ain't bad, though!
I am super-upset that there is no cat.
I AM TOTALLY GIGGLING AT "BAD BEHAVIOR." How exciting!
I think detention at the Awl amounts to having to stay after work and watch Balk smoke a carton of cigarettes in order to teach you a lesson?
God I hope so!
I think they make you fold the pile of sweaters over and over again until you get it looking just so. Choire supervises that part.
I have three nickels to stuff into a g-string, if you can just move a bit closer.
What about Seth Rogen totally co-opting Pareene's affable every (thin) guy look?!
Fuck yeah! And just as I was about to post my own new Awl song to ITunes. Change of plans, change of plans.
"Ruin Porn", did you say?
Where the melanin at?
I would like to see this play on a continuous loop on a flat screen HDTV in the reception area of The Awl's most awesome offices. Pumped at full volume. How could you not be totally psyched to come work everyday with that kind of welcome?
Yay Mathnet! This is awesome.
And very Web 2.0! Before long, Choire and Balk will be able to sit back and let us produce all the content.
Don't tell them!
I also love Choire's eyeballs.
Which one is Emily Gould?
Also, I am crying, clicking and crying.
Ack. Totally NOT how I'd start off my Thursday morning. Can't decide how I feel about this. Awesome, yet scary-ish.
Well, it speaks to Balk/Sicha's commitment to making this here site a go, I think, more than anything. Also Cho is an ass.
I went to bed early and missed this last night?
By the way, how many people clicked on the "Report Abuse" box?
Oh god.
Hot.
Who is that sexy James Spader lookalike?
