Hilarious Old Photos from the PBA Website

One day, several years ago, yours truly was innocently searching the
web, y'know, for kicks (at work, of course). Long story short, I happened
upon the PBA (Professional Bowlers Association) website, where I
discovered...a goldmine! One of these photos was gracing the homepage, and
it rotated each time you visited. Needless to say, an veritable orgy of
refreshing and right-click "Save Image As.."-ing occurred. Now, without
further introduction, I present them to you.















Walter Williams Jr.- "Physics Help Him Beat the Lane and Make His
Millions". Well, if by physics you mean beer and nachos, then, yeah.














Pete Weber - "This Bad Boy Bowled a Perfect Game at Age 12".
Unfortunately, the Perfect Mustache still eludes him at age 55.














Jason Couch - "Hardest Working Bowler That Ever Lived". Are you sure
about that? Earl Anthony bowled his way through the Bataan Death March,
whippersnapper.














Brian Voss - "His Army Stint Gave Him Command of the Ball." And also
Clamydia. We're not sure how either helps his bowling.

















Chris Barnes - "Playing With the Pros Straight Out of the Gate". Rumor has it he wasn't averse to playing non-straight if it got him into the pros.

Asian Heavy Metal Bands of the 80's - A Tribute - Part One in an Ongoing Series

The 80's were the pinnacle of heavy metal in popular music, where just about anybody with hairspray, spandex and/or leather pants, and a guitar shaped like something that is not a guitar could get a record contract. In this ongoing series, Mynack explores the largely forgotten Asian contribution to this important art form.

The Kess Konnection - Epilogue

The Kess Konnection is pulled from an actual series of emails I exchanged with a (presumably) West African 419 scammer in 2004. I omitted a few of the more mundane messages in order to move the story along a bit, but what you read here was the exact, unedited exchange. The messages were passed back and forth over a couple of weeks, and after the last one, I figured it was over. However, two weeks later, out of the blue, this arrived:
