Hey John, are you coming into work today?
Nah. I'm gonna pull a Gabe and let someone else do it.
It's no wonder that you'll never get that promotion.

Get the Gabe Sweater mug.The co-founder and CEO of the video game studio known as Valve Software. Gabe serves as the unofficial face of Valve; the studio is widely associated with him and he is widely associated with the studio.
Valve are infamous for their long development cycles, with games that can be in development for as long as 9 years. Combined with frequent delays, these long development times have created the Valve time phenomenon.
Many in-jokes about these delays and long development times were formed. These jokes often make fun of the studio and Gabe himself, calling him lazy and mocking his weight. He is also pictured as a rather greedy man who wants to "keep Half Life 2 Episode 3 to himself" and commonly makes obscure excuses in order to delay it farther. One of the largest spin offs of this small meme is the nickname "Gaben".
Most users of these jokes are found in large Valve communities, such as the Team Fortress 2 community and the Half Life community.

Get the Gabe mug.A beautiful, smart, amazing girl with a killer smile and big brown eyes. She is loud, sometimes obnoxious, funny as hell, is really nice, and is just all around amazing. She is the best girl a guy could ever have and any guy lucky enough to have her should keep her around for a very long time.
