"We Didn't Start the Lad Mag"

Let it never be said that these last few days in the office were unproductive ones.

To the tune of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel

Richard Morgan, Jordan Stein,
Mike Assenza, Sara Niedz,
John Anton, Foss is gone,
Bad timing for Kass.

Annie Chia, Morgan Stone,
Sweet Deanna Forgione,
Freedman, Serwin,
Ags is on the slopes.

Colin, Lumpkin, Rich and Doug,
Alfonso offers you a rub,
Michael D., Leanne E.,
Corinne, Scott and Dunleavy—
(faster)
Civitello, Hannaford,
Joann and Briana Heard,
Fashion Will, dressed to kill,
Inatsuka goodbye!

We didn’t start the lad mag,
But we put Stuff together, like birds of a feather,
We didn’t start the lad mag,
And though it is gone, in Maxim it lives on.

Joey Arak, Christian Smith,
Goldstein, who you tanning with?
Damian, Robinson,
Full Count’s on the tube.

Robert, Edgar, Intern Steve,
Kristen Aicholtz, why’d you leave?
Fennessey and Seth Kelly
Still gainfully employed.

Hitting Virgil's up for hog,
Reading from Jordana’s blog,
Jimmy left, Couts was next,
Olson writes amazing DEKs—
(faster)
Daniel Bova led the crew,
Hat and Ali we miss you,
Kelly Rae: M.I.A.,
That’s all Patrick’s gotta say!

We didn’t start the lad mag,
But we put Stuff together, like birds of a feather,
We didn’t start the lad mag,
And though it is gone, in Maxim it lives on and on and on and on….

When the Going Get Tough...

Jason Gets First of Many Paychecks!

Congratulations to the newest member of the Stuff production family on his first paycheck at his new home. No word yet on how Jason plans to spend his money, but a well-placed informant says he might be taking that poor new advertising assistant out to lunch.

An Introspective Vacation Update

Yesterday I was making the 4+ hour drive to Key West, which is mostly done on a two-lane road all the way down. If traffic's slow, you can't really do anything about it, so I was looking at all the touristy billboards on our way through the Keys. We came across one that was just a huge picture of a fish sandwich, and it said "Try our famous fish sandwich!" I instantly turned to Maggie and excitedly said, "If Patrick was here he'd be all over that!" Then I got sad. How's it going to feel when we forget what each other would like? Do I really want to live in a world where I don't instantly think about Patrick when I see a huge fish sandwich and a tenuous claim of it being "famous?" Then I went on a ghost tour, which was almost -- but not quite -- as entertaining as Ghost Dad.
