Who Is This Guy In Our Elevator?
At Barstool HQ we have really cool futuristic elevators. It’s the first thing I ever noticed about the office when I was coming in for my intern interview. There’s a wall of glass that allows the occupant to see inside the shaft (lol) of the elevator, which features a bunch of really cool street-art type paintings on each floor. There’s some firefighter ones, a King Kong one, Christopher Walken’s actually got a portrait on one floor, seems like a lot of New York-centric stuff. Makes sense, right? We’re in the heart of Manhattan, whatever artist was commissioned to do these paintings probably wanted to pay tribute to the city’s greatest exports. Recently someone brought up how strange it was that Manny Pacquiao had such a premiere spot in said elevator, though, and sparked a huge discussion in the office, because, well, that’s not Manny Pacquiao.
But who is it? Nobody knows. Glenny Balls, god bless him, suggested that it’s Prince, and that’s about the worst guess I could ever imagine…
Ria adamantly believes it’s Leonardo Dicaprio, which I’d say is wrong, but a step in the right direction…
And some other guesses from the office include Michael Pena, Brian O’Hallaran, Benjamin Bratt, Bam Margera, and Ice Cube(???), but none of them seem to be quite right, or make any sense as to why’d they be featured so prominently in our building…
Whoever guessed that last one is a moron, just a heads up. Please, though, let us know. Who the fuck is in our elevator?
