Dear Cruel World

No, this isn’t quite a suicide note.  It is, however, a bit of information.  You won’t be finding the kind of posts I’ve been dropping at this space for too much longer.  I’ve started working on a new website with a different name, and a couple other folks posting things.  Essentially, it’s an online men’s [...]

BFBDT Championship Match

Real man versus fake wizard.  The leading votegetter against a surprise contender.  I’m expecting a lopsided matchup here, but I’ve been wrong about half of the matches, so what do I know?  Let’s get right to it. The Dude

What’s up with the Promise Keepers?  You know, besides the hating women thing.
That #11’s pretty good.

Ding-a-Ling’s Fat Adventure

 If you follow this blog in any way whatsoever, this isn’t surprising to you, but this will be the last beer review on this website.  I’m going to be re-focusing this site back to where it probably would be best served: my own writing.  So I’m closing it out with a special one. 
This isn’t to [...]

Your 2009 Big Fat Beard Deathmatch Tournament Furry Four

Here goes, peeps.  The Furry Four is upon us.  Freaking insanity.

The epic matches:
William Lee Golden vs. Rich (as Walt Whitman): Two juggernauts in this tournament, though I can’t exactly say that I expect this one to be even close.  Golden’s the clear underdog here, as he’s going up against a guy with a good bit [...]

After The Tournament…

I started this website in order to make my writing available.  So far, I’ve done that, but I’ve focused on a lot of other things with this blog–perhaps more stuff than I should have.  In order to keep with the original idea of the site, this blog, and the other things surrounding my writing, I’m [...]

BFBDT 2009 Hans Langseth South Regional Final

Last ones in this round.  Voting is through Wednesday @ noonish or so. 
 
After a tough match, Ambrose Everett Burnside is ready for a strong showing this round, I think.  You know, he’s where the term “sideburns” came from?  It’s TRUE!
 
This man will whip your ass with his words.

Rollie Fingers Regional Final, BFBDT 2009

This is probably the most unexpected (and lopsided, I admit) matchup in this round of 8.  Nonetheless, we push forward.

It’s Mr. Hockey himself.  Playoff Beard!  Seriously, though, I don’t know who this guy is.  If you know his name, or who he plays for, or anything about him, please let me know.  It’d be awesome [...]

The Five Satellites “Read-n-Blurb” Program

Yep.  You saw it here first, folks.  Granted, you saw it here because this is where Five Satellites exists, and I’m the asshole who wrote it.  I’m looking for people to give the book a read and write a quick, 2-or-3-sentence blurb for me to post on the Five Satellites landing page.  Positive, semi-negative, I [...]
