What were you people expecting to find?

So, Walken’s not running for pres, which fucking blows, and I’ll admit that the hoaxsters did a good job. I won’t try to save face. I was ready do do anything in my goddamned power to make that man president.
Originally the site design had me wondering if it was for real. On second glance I thought, “maybe not”. On third glance I thought, “what if?” and allowed myself to be taken for a ride.
More than anything else I think this proves 2 things. 1) Millions of people would eagerly vote for Christopher Walken. 2) Our current political situation is in such a shit-fucked state that millions of people would eagerly vote for Christopher Walken.
Our office has decided to implement a program where we address the concerns of employees and answer the questions of new employees by way of a “Dear _______ ” column in the company newsletter.
We’ve been trying to think of names for the “person” who answers the questions, when in reality it’ll just be a group of us in my office. The perfect name dawned on me almost immediately, but I’ve held it back because I don’t want to share it.
We keep rehashing the same points: the writer can’t be known to the company at large or else they’ll realize that there are 4 of us writing the responses, but the writer also has to convey that they’re not middle or upper-management.
What they want is a colleague with anonymity.
An anonymous co-worker, if you will.
Well I’m not giving up my name that easily! Not even if it means having to write under the pseudonym “Office Answerer”* or “The Answer Fairy”.**
If we were to launch this aspect on the newsletter online (like the rest of our newsletter) I’d be seriously screwed if my nom de plume was straddling the vast canyon-like expanse that I have created between my blog and my workplace. The name would be a bridge of backtracking, editing, and generally trying to cover my ass.
People would be searching for the Anonymous Co-worker online to answer their questions, stumble upon this, and then the doocing would commence. Boo.
I think I’ll just stick with *urk* (sorry, just vomited a little in my mouth) Cubicle Charlie’s Chit-Chat Corner.
I’m going to go throw up now, but I’ll throw up knowing that my secret identity is still safe.
