Total Badass

It’s been too long, but more horrible character names have come to my attention, so I must pass them along. Today’s list is aiming for “ridiculously masculine” in some way or another.

  • Manpower von Thunderjunk
  • Diego Brando
  • Baron Praxus
  • Longrod Von Hugendong
  • Ezra “Thunderbolt” McClintock
  • Heironymous Imperiol
  • Max Steel
  • Inigo Montoya
  • Butch Deadlift
  • Thick McRunfast
  • Rex Gatling
  • Blast Hardcheese
  • Axeface McBeardfist
  • Woodcock van Treeslayer
  • Dr. Grimbeard Ironcock, Ph.D
  • Barrel Locstoc
  • Brick Hardmeat
  • Fighter McWarrior
  • Lance Manthrob
  • Chad McSexxington
  • Corporal Studly
  • Max Fightmaster
  • Rockhard Morningwood
  • Chuck Steak
  • Trent Asunder

As always, additional suggestions are always welcome. Clearly, I just can’t wait for my kid to be in grade-school.

Crossing the Delaware

So hey, merry Christmas. Kindly refrain from bludgeoning people with the phrase. It’s well-wishing, not cultural warfare, folks. Have an awesome day, but behave yourselves.

Chalkrage

So yeah, I actually fired up a Twitter account a few weeks back. Most times that I have anything to say I’m likely to get a head of steam going, but the small handful of times I’ve bothered to update, it has failed. In all but two cases. Wow. Micro-blogging with micro-reliability.

Anyhow, chalk can induce NERDRAGE. That’s really all I was looking to broadcast tonight.
