I love how pg always has this kinda 'child like joy' smirk on his face for these press pictures.

Like he is thinking "this is SOO cool...Mom is gonna be soo proud."



I interpreted that look as "You're going to put some really lame headline above me aren't you?"


His prescience knows no bounds.


I hate to derail, is that ripped from Greg Proops?

If you're going to steal, he's a great source for material :)


We need more people doing business who are constantly thinking "this is SOO cool." Their enthusiasm shows through in their work.


yes, he never seems to show his teeth when people take his photo. I suspect it's because he's British?


The pg apotheosis reminds me of an interesting Google talk by Robert Sutton where he reports that in research with monkeys, the dominant monkey receives a highly disproportionate amount of attention relative to that shared among subordinates and this phenomenon is theorized to be one of the reasons people in authority, such as management positions, tend to become less sympathetic to those below them. It's a very insightful talk for anyone with an interest in management dynamics:
