mercantilever says:: Much respect for landing jobs at Onion HQ. While I don't know what your jobz be, all y'all commenters that think it's a cherry cakewalk should CLAME and listen to this episode of This American Life from the belly of the beast.

Also, based my hectic experiences writing for the Austin branch of L'Oignon, I can't imagine what corporate is like.

At any rate, thanks for all your hard work, dude(s). It's well worth it.
