Hey there. Recently I was browsing through internet comics and ran across a picture of Gabe Newell stuck in a portal.

Like most of you I was sent into a hysterical fit of laughter lasting well into the night by this image and only stopped by the fact that I passed out from lack of oxygen. Okay maybe I just sorta chuckled. But then a thought hit me. Gabe Newell has tons of money doesn't he? At least a hundred thousand dollars per every pound on him right? Maybe more than that. So he could, theoretically, whether through surgery or personal trainers pay to become thin couldn't he? He could become thin by this time next year no problem and we would effectively run out of ways to make jokes about him. So where does that leave us? Like the squirrel before winter we must acknowledge that change is possible, and prepare for it.

And so I pose to you this question, fellow denizens of the escapist... Just what alternative joke sources do we have for Gabe Newell? Just what do we know about him? If you guys would help me out with anything you got, point out something stupid he's done or said, something he's failed to do or seems unable to do. an unflattering physical characteristic or just come up with a joke of your own that does not involve fatness, I'd appreciate it. And maybe feel a little more prepared, should the unthinkable happen. Or we just get tired of making fat jokes. Either way.

Obviously every joke should be related to Half-Life 2 Episode 3/Half-Life 3. Because every time someone makes a fat joke about Gabe Newell online, they delay the release date of aforementioned game(s) by another month.

Yeah, we can still make jokes about his inability to count to three.

"Sorry Gabe, you may run one of the most successful game companies in the world, but you need to go back to kindergarten and learn to count to at least three."

I can see it now.

I know he fucked up a haiku and his fans praise him for it like he's some kinda genius when he should have been scolded.

...

and that I dont care much for him either way, though the sheer devotion his fans have do make me look at him a bit sickenly.

True, but when you have that kind of money at your disposable, you'll most likely stop giving a shit about appearances altogether. The only jokes I've seen made about Newell pertain to his corpulent appearence, episode 3 or a combination of the two, so the people deriding Gabe don't exactly strike me as the most creative bunch. I don't really care, I don't really have anything against him.

Remember friends, every time someone makes a fat joke about Mr. Newell, Half-life 3 gets delayed another month. I guess we could just stop making fun of him, you know, cause we're not assholes.
