Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 50)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - October 7, 2016October 6, 2016

The scene: Future Moose's bedchamber. It's still yuuuge. And Future Clone Debbie Harry is still pillow-fighting Future Clone Lynda Carter in a seemingly endless replay. Future Moose himself is searching the room, looking behind dressers and curtains. Future Clone Debbie Harry (hitting Future Clone Lynda Carter with a pillow): Tee-hee! Future Moose

Beastmode Ate My Baby - September 30, 2016September 27, 2016

The scene: Wally's World of Waffles, where Future Clone Debbie Harry and PK are finishing off a 36-inch waffle. Granted, most of the ingestion was on PK's side of the table. And there are two empty syrup jars in front of him. And a few empty plates that once had

Beastmode Ate My Baby - September 16, 2016September 15, 2016

The scene: Future Moose's future palace bedchamber. It's pretty opulent. And by “pretty opulent,” I mean it's yuuuge. Like, seriously big. Think of the house you grew up in, add in your first three apartments, and you're close. I mean, there's a tennis court in here. Full-size, mind you. Hard

“I did it so you don’t have to” – A Boots On The Ground Seahawks Game Experience

Beerguyrob - September 12, 2016October 11, 2016

I, like most of you, enjoy the NFL. I also like attending the events, because museums and airplanes are full of babies, tourists and germs. Given the relatively high rates of vaccination in the US, combined with actually having had most airborne communicable diseases as a child, I find spending the

Beastmode Ate My Baby - September 9, 2016September 8, 2016

The scene: The DFO clubhouse, hours after the NFL Opening Day game. The DFOers are still partying hard, because football is back! And also because most of them haven't been in the same place since last Moosemas. There's drinking, and dancing...well, not so much dancing. Most of the members are

HRTN Opening Day Special

Beastmode Ate My Baby - September 8, 2016September 6, 2016

The scene: Out front of the DFO clubhouse. DFO prospect Cookiethulhu is busy sweeping up the street when Beerguyrob comes out of the clubhouse with a six-pack of beer. Cookiethulhu: I think that's it, sir. The street looks quite orderly now, I must say. Beerguyrob (motioning Cookiethulhu over): Good job, kid. I've

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 46)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - September 2, 2016September 1, 2016

The scene: An empty road somewhere in the Midwest, where Future Moose recently ran someone over. That someone is now biting Moose on the arm. It seems pretty fair, all things considered. Ballsofsteelandfury (approaching): Hey, what the hell...? Future Moose (sighing as the man continues to bite at his outstretched arm): Well... Ballsofsteelandfury

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 45)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - August 26, 2016August 24, 2016

The scene: Somewhere in the Midwest. At night. On a deserted road. It's kind of spooky. It's even spookier because there's a body in the road. I mean, that's never good. Sitting in the car that just ran the poor guy over are Future Moose, Ballsofsteelandfury, Low Commander of the

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 44)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - August 19, 2016August 18, 2016

The scene: Somewhere in the Midwest. Future Moose is driving his new car...which isn't really new. In fact, it's kind of old. And a bit leaky. It might creak a little bit when it brakes. And the exhaust fumes when it accelerates might just be a global warming tipping point.

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 43)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - August 12, 2016August 11, 2016

The scene: The John Tyler Junior High Dungeons & Dragons club. A young Percival Po sits behind his Dungeon Master screen, rolling a variety of polyhedral dice.

The scene: Mrs. Grigsby's third-grade class. Young Percival Po is standing at the front of the classroom, showing off his robot drawing for show & tell. Young Po: This is my robot...he's made of a special titanium alloy that you can only make in space, an' he's got a flame-thrower for

Beauty, Longing, and a Hammock: My trip to Rio, the Land of The Asses

ballsofsteelandfury - August 3, 2016

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been lucky enough to visit. Check that. The locale is the most beautiful place in the world in which to place a city. As my plane was landing oh so many years ago, all I could think
