50,000 Monkeys at 50,000 Typewriters Can't Be Wrong

because 8-bits are all you need, champ

Rich Stevens, the criminal mastermind behind Diesel Sweeties, is a friend of mine.

And you, Governor Sarcastic Liar, are no Rich Stevens!

Um. What? Sorry. Let’s try that again.

Ahem.

Rich is the greatest 8-bit character drawing guy man dude in this quadrant. His 8-bit creations hold up the whole log jam, Bucko, because 16-bits are twice as many as he needs, Sport.

Anyway, I asked Rich if he’d be interested in doing an 8-bit version of me, because . . . well, because I really like his work and it’s always been my life-long dream to eat the biggest sandwich at the fair.

Rich agreed, and the result is real and spectacular. I think it may replace mister "look at me and my tough-guy face" over there.

Thank you, Rich Stevens. I shall play Keystone Kapers tonight in your honor.

    I like the 8-bit pic, but you’re look-at-me tough guy pic is super sexy and really good. You kinda remind me of Riker.
    Oh and one more thing, can you record the Ftagn! sneeze so we can hear this crazy sneeze? Pretty please?

    one might say that its a successful attempt to crawl inside the old nintendo and mate with it (though we have ALL blown them to try to get the blinking red light to stop-you know ya all have ) and as i am lucky not to go to bed with night terrors from it on the shirt, the smirk makes the whole thing come together

    Keystone Kapers was my favorite way to waste time as a kid. Srsly.
    If I could get a functioning Atari and that game, I’d never go to work again.

    You’d make an excellent addition to the cast of Code Monkeys, and that sweater is so very awesome!

    You should have already replaced your web picture with the Velvet Wesley. If you don’t replace your photo with 8-bit Wil I shall lose all respect for you.

    Gotta love the clown sweater. I think that sweater is the most famous thing I’ve ever touched (or worn – but that’s less impressive since the subset of objects that can be worn is much smaller than objects that can be touched).

I wrote A LOT about my sons, and our relationship, during this five year mission. It's rewarding and special to look back at those posts, now, knowing everything I know.

This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.
