- Bio
- The very idea that I might be a real person should bother you a large amount. Good things happen to bad people and the other way around. I can say that weird things happen to weird people, so it all balances out in the end. I'm not sure what happens to real people, but if you put a bunch of them together you seen to get an MTV show, so that really doesn't bode well for society. My current hero is the big plastic-headed Burger King from the commercials. His creepiness and subtle evil are an inspiration to all of us with over-sized plastic heads that one day hope to be the monarch figurehead (hur hur) of a Burger Empire.

Underemployment
I've been underemployed before, though neve this underemployed.
I make less money than I did 15 years ago when I made slightly higher price-point food to pay my way through college.

Fast Eddie and the Badger vs. Everyone (Introduction/ FAQ)
Updated!
Before I start on my hour of writing today (for tomorrow's first segment of the serial) I wanted to explain a little history of the characters I'm using.
None of this is spoilers in any way, or actual story/character information, more of a reasoning of the process.

Serial Fiction, coming to an OS Blog near you (July 1)
