Isn't "best employee at the Stranger" damning with faint praise?

He's certainly dedicated...

(or was it medicated?)

(now I have James Franco on the brain, thanks, you know who...)

Awwwww! Grant is clearly the most adorable employee at the Stranger...somebody buy him a drink, and put a pillow and a baby drool pad under his desk.

You're too nice Grant, Bethany definitely owes you a drink for that one.

@3,

That you choose to involve yourself in the minutiae of the day-to-day goings on and petty inside jokes of the Stranger's staff speaks volumes of your pathetic creepiness.

@6, Canuck is beloved around here, buck. Cross her at your peril. You're the one leading the pathetic creepiness contest around here. Fuck off.

Oh Fnarf, you'll be the recipient of a big kiss when I make it to Slog happy someday, darling...
(unless you'd rather just have a glass of whiskey, I can do that, too... :)

Does anyone else find this inside-joke shit really annoying?

@6,
You've got a lot to learn. I'm not saying I'm the teacher... I'm just saying you've got a LOT to learn.

@ 6 & 9 It's charming, and part of what makes this space a gathering spot. I wouldn't give up the inside jokes I share with my peeps IRL, either. You're free to stop hanging out here anytime.

You'd think Grant would know better.

@13 Who ARE you? Did I cut you off in traffic, or malign you somehow on these mysterious interwebs? And I hate to tell you, but if you find those comments annoying, I'd suggest we never meet in person, because I can assure you I'm much worse in real life. I have a habit of doing a little dance when my phone rings (who wouldn't, with "we are family" as their ringtone?), I drink too much at parties, and then I challenge random people to arm wrestling contests. It isn't pretty, and you sound like a fragile, easily disturbed sort, so I'd suggest you stay home when I do get around to visiting Seattle...
