Jeremy explains:
as far as the Jeremys go, this was completely my coworkers' idea. My sales support mate asked if i wanted to double up with her and wear some sort of matching costume (peanut and plain M&ms for example). I managed to hide my horror and politely declined. I came up with a corny idea of my own was excited to show it off. I was The Fairy Godfather - pinstripe suit, handkerchief, slicked back hair,moustache, tutu, wings and fairy wand. I arrived to a crowd around my desk and then Jules came out in a frightening mask - I didn't realise at first it was my face. Then more coworkers turned around to show me that they too were Jeremys. All in all, there were 10 other Jeremys, the entire Sales team here had not only my face but checkered buttondown shirts, dress pants and converse (or similar) shoes as well. They also mimicked my walk when in the hallway. It was super creepy and strangely flattering. I led them on a parade around the building and looking back and a line of Jeremys was absolutely surreal. They had planned this well in advance because Dan from IT came over last week taking photos for "ID cards" but it was really just to get a digital photo of my head. Two of the sales reps got in on it too and sent in photos, one had a photo of both her and her dog wearing my face. Weird people. They won a $50 prize for originality. Thanks for the nightmares, folks.

damn, i thought the stache was real.
as i said to Jeremy, it's creepy, but they stole the idea from Listmaker, Balgavy and me from 1999 (3rd and 4th pix down - and look who's giving the finger in the first one!):

jamie,
first of all, i take no credit for the malkovich idea. it was you and balgavy.
secondly, i think that 10 jeremys is scarier than 3 malkoviches.
thirdly, malkovich is giving the finger because he's upset that his celebrity bocce team just lost to a a vastly inferior squad of b list celebrities.
