    I think that I really need a staircase more suitable for my metal slinky.

    Hi! I feel really important. I can take care of most of your wants and needs, other than the Libertarian. I can’t help you there.

    This is a truly accurate depiction of Brad. It is humbling to see Brad so accurately labeled, much like a Mel Gibson directed movie except it is cheaper and in English. Larry! I can’t express how simply put this is so I just wrote your name. Larry. Larry.

    Larry… what did you do?

    I’m sorry Larry I didn’t mean to come across as sarcastic. I hadn’t posted any replies and I tried to sound intelligent. I apologize. I would like to get together and talk writing. I have an amazing gonzo like idea we need to discuss.

    Here is my idea: 4 of us try and write
    something together. Scott will handle dialogue, characters. Mattner will cover allegorical aspects of the story and editing. Brad you and I will collaborate on scene and summary and mood and bring together all of the elements. Maybe we can do a script for a graphic novel, or film

    Aww brad you did sound intelligent. Don’t be sorry. I misunderstood is all.

    I hoped you all found the piece funny.

    Quite, though I think my sideburns deserved a little higher FHF.

    I like your idea:

    Larry: I’m down.

    The FHF: I do believe, although it’s subjective (unless a strict list of criteria can be formed and agreed upon) that overall quality needs to be taken into account. I like both Mike’s burns and Brad’s… stuff. However, no offense to Brad, Mike’s overall product may be of a higher quality. In addition, my full beard isn’t nearly as thick as Larry’s, and is a bit patchy. Mike and Larry deserve added points.

    With that being said, perhaps culture/family and the season can be taken into account, and somehow be rewarded on a scale between (-4) and 4. Now, now, hear me out on this: Most men in my family have a mustache, or goatee. Now, this isn’t necessarily part of the German culture, but it is part of the Nykamp family. Therefore, when I do in fact have a mustache and any other additional facial hair, I could score a potential 2-4 extra points. This will lead to a flucuating score, of course, depending on how impressive it is and how much, it, indeed, relates to my family’s current facial hair.

    If one were to grow a full length beard during the middle of summer, unless binded by family or cultural obligation, he could be added (or subtracted I suppose)a potential (-2)through (-4), since a beard of that magnitude is downright unnecessary and suicidal during the summer months. However, that beard could potentially garner bonus points in the winter.

    Larry I love you! This post made my day brighter and much more tolerable. I lost all control and “LOL’ed” in the middle of my espanol lecture. The blank confused eyes of my classmates made my face a bright rosy red as if I had just consumed a bottle of Castillo rum in an hour’s time.

    Larry, your post is pretty good, although it could be improved in a number of ways. I think your biggest flaw is how you look when you type, which I’m sure is a little pasty with scruffy facial hair and rings under your eyes. I mean, other than that you look great but, I’m just saying, people like healthy skin.
