I hate to break it to you, but Mr. Silverman has fallen a lot farther than you know. At the Coffee and Tea Bean on Sunset this morning, he made me the tastiest chai-latte, and it only took him three tries.
This man has a future.
Oh, and with the money I left for a tip, I suggested that he take his friend on over to Fantastic Sam's for the Emo Phillip's Special.
Wait, isn't Bee Schaeffer at College Humor as well? Maybe Ben can do a multi-platform deal where it's Electus, Notional, CollegeHumor AND TeenVogue, where Grace Coddington will argue against Ben's ideas and come off as the real leader. #bensilverman
This would make a great buddy flick. Silverman could play the guy whose abilities are too small for his position, while Van Veen plays the guy who makes comedy that isn't funny. #bensilverman
I wandered into the kitchen and considered for, like, the tenth time that day, how hard it would be to, like, pee into a funnel or something and then into, like, my boss's coffee. He was, like, such a fucking cretin.
"Hey!" he, like, yelled from the office. "How long does it take you to get me a cup of coffee, you dozy posh cow? You're not trying to find a goddamn funnel again, are you?"
I settled for opening a cupboard door and, like, writing "Ricky Van Veen has a really small peen" in the dust with my, like, finger.

@Motoko Kusanagi: Exactly. Wonder how she got the gig. It's not like she has to worry about paying the rent or landing something else if this doesn't pan out. #beeshaffer
@FormerEnglishMajor: Well, I know virtually nothing about Bee, other than she has a dumb name and a creepy mother, but she could have very easily gone the Trump route: gotten a job working for Mommy and written a book on how to "succeed" at "Vogue."
I'm not really defending Bee (seriously, what's with rich WASPs and ridiculous names anyway?). I'm just pointing out that she didn't go the nepotism route. And true, that's not much of an accomplishment -- unless you compare her to the 3 Trumps, Rob Speyer and Valerie Peltier, Aerin Lauder, Celerie Kemble and Boykin Curry (see what I mean about the dumb names?), Billy Macklowe, etc. #beeshaffer

Talk about a win-win....
