Here's my interpretation of how Apex's interview actually went:

Scene: Wood paneled office.  The CEO sits behind a mahogany desk large enough to land a plane on.

CEO: *presses intercom button*: "Martha, please send in the next candidate."

*Enter Apex, he is wearing a suit and tie, but no shirt. The sleeves have been cut off his jacket*

CEO: "Your credentials and references are impeccable sir.  So my only question is, what can you tell me that I don't already know?"

Apex: "In softball, a leadoff triple is as good as a home run. Jose Macias was bad, but so was Jeromy Burnitz. Ken Griffey Jr. never lifted a weight in his damn life."

CEO: *Leans back in his chair, looks thoughtful, then pushes a button on his desk*

*A hatch in the ceiling opens, and a mixture of balloons, confetti and hundred dollar bills falls rains down on the room*

Apex: *stands up from his chair with his arms raised triumphantly in the air*

Apex: "Bazinga."

/scene

Anyone going to apply for this?

I imagine ChuckD is the only person here who would have any glimmer of hope.

If we're talking people very loosely in our circles, I wonder if Harry Pavlidis is a fit since so much of his work is PITCHf/x focused.

Wait...he's loosely in our circles?  Did I miss something?

He talks to some of us on twitter sometimes, maybe? Or maybe he follows Andy. I think they all follow Andy.

Not bad for a fading star.  Not Harry.  Andy.

And he's a Cubs fan living in Chicago. But that's basically all I meant by "very loosely."

Oh that's not a problem, thanks to these documents he signed leaving all of his assets to us in the event of his untimely demise. We should be able to buy all the syringes we need just from selling some of the weed.
