1. Is this a "blog"?
   No. However, the site is constantly growing with new crap, err..stuffbeing added frequently. Primarily, that stuff revolves around bad jokes, pop culture, comic books, movies, sports and "rasslin'". Instead of adding things with a date and hoping YOU can figure them out, I add things in categories to make it easy to index. Most blog sites are difficult to follow for new readers. For instance, good luck finding a listing of someone's comic reviews on a "comic blog".

   "Blogs" are usually journal sites, centered around one person's (crappy) "life". While this site is heavily opinionated, I rarely write about my "life" (or lack thereof). Most of the "news" section contains stuff like this, but I've lost interest in that and haven't updated in years. If something amazing and entertaining DID happen to me, I'd probably write about it. Example: if I overthrew Montana and declared myself dictator, I'd write about it. If I got a flat tire or got laid, I wouldn't write about it.

2. Is this a resume'?
   No. When I first started this site in August 2000, my intent was to make it an in-depth resume', with plenty of artwork and links. I realized that no HR personnel would enjoy spending over an hour to see all of my stuff. I started writing articles about my hobbies in 2001, and the site started to pick up traffic.

3. Why does this site exist?!
   There are several nerdy things that I don't normally talk about in everyday life. For instance, I can't walk up to the office water cooler and say "hey, didja read the latest issue of Avengers?!" This website is my outlet to discuss some of the goofier hobbies and interests I have. I do everything on the site with the intent of either having fun, suggesting a new idea, or making someone chuckle. Plus, when I was a kid, I would imagine that certain TV shows (imaginary and real) were being broadcast from my head. I imagined that my 'viewers' would watch the same stuff that I watched on regular TV, in addition to a few custom shows that I would 'host' or create. So this site could be the text-feed of my station broadcast.

4. How often do you update?
   I strive to average one new article a week. Doesn't always work. I could post 3 new articles over the course of a week...then nothing for 3 more weeks. Every year during football season (August-January), I have weekly game recaps of the Denver Broncos.

5. Can I add articles to your site
   Sure. As long as they don't suck. If you'd like to do a concert review (music), contribute to one of the sports categories (baseball, football or rasslin) or one of the comic categories (hypertime arena, bargain bin or tv stuff), you can e-mail me your article. If it's fun, I'll post it. You can then show off your custom URL to your friend. Also, you can INSTANTLY add something via the ES-Board.

6. Can I buy your concert bootlegs or wrestling videos?
   No. If you really need something, I'm always open to trading but NEVER selling.

7. DVD-R, DVD+R, etc?
   Yeah, I've ditched recording things to VHS and usually go with DVD-R nowadays. Note the dash. I make DVD-R.

8. Can you make me a compilation tape of your wrestling videos?
   Depends. I'll probably ask YOU for a custom compilation tape of YOUR stuff in return. Just don't go overboard with your request. I can only stand so much Hillbilly Jim.

9. Are the bootlegs legal?
   As far as I know, yes. All of these recordings are not available commercially. If one becomes available, then it will be removed. Highly unlikely that a garbled audience recording of Tool would ever be used to make money.

10. Did you record any of the bootlegs?
    No. I don't own, nor have I ever owned any type of bootleg recording device.

11. Why Broncos?
    I live in Denver. You do the math.

12. Why Pirates?
    I live in Denver, but was born in Pittsburgh. The Pirates go back four generations in my family.

13. How Many Head Injuries have you had?
    This gets asked alot. The best guess is 18. I had a few in my childhood that I can't remember. All of these are concussions unless noted. In chronolgocial order, they would be:
    • Fell out of my firetruck at age 4
    • Fell off my top bunkbed while playing Micronauts at age 6
    • Can't remember.
    • Crashed headfirst on a dirt bike trail at age 9
    • Can't remember.
    • Dove into a church pew while playing tag. Received 5 stitches in right side of head. No concussion.
    • Can't remember.
    • Football injury at age 13
    • Fell down a hill, did two flips and broke my glasses at age 13. No concussion, though.
    • Football injury at age 14 (lost eyesight and motor functions on right side)
    • Football injury at age 14 (lost eyesight on right side)
    • Football injury at age 14 (lost eyesight on left side)
    • Football injury at age 15
    • Football injury at age 15
    • Football injury at age 17 (last game of football "career")
    • Dropped a breadmaker on my head at age 21.
    • Accidentally slammed to ground while playing touch football at age 21
    • Dropped a desk return on my head at age 22. Split skin, no concussion, no stitches.
    • Hairline fracture in the top of my nose at age 27. Hit head-on by a softball.
    • Jumped into ceiling, split head open and had to get it stapled shut. Two weeks before 32nd birthday.
    Steve Young, Troy Aikman and Chris Miller are WIMPS in my book. Start talking about "retirement" when you get in the double digits of concussions, princess!

14. How long is "the streak"?
    Technically, it's been over for awhile, now.

15. Who's your Porn Star Sister?
    Old joke. Around 1983 my family "adopted" a sister. She lived with us for a few months. All I remember is that she smoked pot, liked the Stones and had stinky-ass shampoo. She ran away and was reportedly last spotted in Los Angeles circa 1985, pursuing a career in umm..."movies".

16. What are Underoos?
    I used to get asked this alot. They were a late 70's kids underwear line based on popular movie, cartoon and (most notably) comic book characters. The t-shirts were often close replicas of a hero's costume. You were supposed to wear them UNDER your regular shirt, but most kids wore them like a regular shirt. A few years ago, the concept was dusted off and revived for today's kids.

17. Who was/is Simon Fletcher?
    Broncos' all-time sack leader. My favorite player growing up (after Terry Bradshaw). I'm not sure what he's doing now. For awhile after his retirement, he ran a Hot Dog chain out in Aurora. It went belly-up around 1997. No less than Karl Mecklenburg told me that Simon is currently working as a youth minister. Any additional information on Fletcher is always welcome.
