Either that, or you should be talented! I’m pretty sure LS, ES, JC, and PF have better things to do than “meet and get to know” random social climbers with nothing to offer but their desperation to get into some kind of “club.” (There...
There should be a Tumblr button that’s a picture of your own avatar that you click on instead of the heart, and it shows up as, to use a convenient example:

Incidentally, for those irate about the “peasants” remark, count your blessings. Before the Deadspinnian revolution of love, commenters were reflexively referred to around Gawker as something much more insulting. I’ve been trying all day to recall the exact term or phrase — Balk or Coen might remember — but you know, it was a Very Different Time.
