One of our dickweed creatives comes to company Halloween party as me.

Thirty-one goddamn years in the business and you’d think I’d get more respect. Especially from the dickweeds I work with.

It’s just mean-spirited and disrespectful, is all I have to say about it.

Making fun of both my age and the fact that I had knee-replacement surgery this summer, which was really painful by the way….Mr. Colin Gray, at [email protected].

The dude is in MY group at GSD&M, which is bad enough. Then again, that means I get to do his review, which is coming up very soon.

UPDATE: To add insult to injury, Mr. C. Gray’s “funny” costume won first place in the agency costume contest. Disturbingly, he beat out someone who was either wearing a great Jesus costume or was in fact Jesus, either of which means Mr. Gray is going to Hell for his little stunt. Pictured below, he and I just after the award ceremony having a little chat about his upcoming review.

  6. You want to know how it works? He takes out a knife, you pull out a gun. He dresses up like you, you strip him of his dignity. Put him in a cube. If he’s in a cube, put him in the hallway. That’s the way you do things.
