Rabblerousers are good, too.
I want rustlers, cutthroats, murders, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con-men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglars, horse thieves, bull-dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers, and Methodists!
How firm are you on that 'lives in NY' requirement?
It's not totally firm. I just like to be able to look the people I'm working with in the eye every so often. Keep everyone, myself included, more accountable.
What part of ny are you talking about NYC and if so what part of the city are you guys in
I'm in Brooklyn. Gawker HQ is in SoHo. To clarify, this is mainly an off-site position. We just don't want to have to pay for a plane ticket to shake your hand, know what I'm saying?
I am a card-carrying Methodist. Paypal me a $10k advance and I'll get started right away. My first article will be about how the Anglican churched fleeced John Wesley - he pre-ordered Salvation, and when he showed up at the church, they told him he had 2 buy two Holy Icons and donate 25 pounds to the local Parish before they would give him Salvation.
I think you should always refer to the new intern as "Conintern", and force him or her to sing the Internationale on a regular basis to show support for Consumerism.
What about rabblerousers?
