The Secret Lives of Games Journalists

Two weeks ago:

Ashley: God, I need to buy his gifts. And yours!

me: Nein! No gifts for me.

Ashley: Yes!

me: Nein! I hate everything. I hate things. I mean, I don't, but pretend I do as to dodge the possibility of you getting me a present.

Ashley: But it's your birthday too.

me: Hey, wait, here's an idea. You and Anthony pose for a picture wearing the most gentile, suburban clothing possible -- like, sweaters and shit -- in that standard portrait pose, where you're both looking away from the camera and smiling all big and shit.

me: And email that to me. That'd be an awesome present.

me: Gift me your embarassment!

Ashley: Anthony is down with that.

me: Wait, what?

Ashley: We're totally going to do it. Anthony is excited.

me: Seriously? You have to wear really gaudy clothes, though. Christmas sweaters, if at all possible.

Later that day:

Ashley: We're going to get like, real pictures taken. Like at a studio.

me: ... You're fucking shitting me.

December 18, 2008:

That's right -- Anthony Burch and Ashley Davis, of the internet. Maybe the holidays aren't so bad.

I LOVE ANTHONY'S SWEATER. I am not even joking. ARE THOSE BISONS? I am a little bit in LOVE right now. I want to add such a sweater to my collection of animal-including sweaters, along with my bear sweater. Then I need a reindeer one for it to be complete.
