No vintage game today, still dealing with deer aftermath. Perhaps more tomorrow.

(Thank you, Car Man!)

Tonight my wife Mur hit a deer with her car. As you can see, she is fine. The car and the deer are not. It’s not often that I get to play the role of hero, but bravely did Car Man set out on his quest to pick her up and drive her home.

(He’d devour you, but he just ate)

There are a number of games that could match this picture, but I think it’s fairly obvious which one I’m thinking of.

(I could really use some coins)

If you can’t get this one, you have completely missed out on games for the past twenty years. Seriously. Corporate mascot? Sequel after tie-in after sequel after tie-in sequel? No?

(Some days you get the worm, some days the worm gets you)

So I’m sick, which is not all that great for beard growing or game inspiration. However, I’m watching Twin Peaks (directed by David Lynch, with Kyle MacLachlan and Everett McGill, and Miguel Ferrer — as opposed to Jose Ferrer). And drinking some spiced cider, so I’m sure I’ll be able to navigate my way out of this desert of illness.

(I think those dogs are laughing at me)

So yesterday I was complemented on my stubble, which I will quite unblushingly take at face value (see what I did there). Clearly the beard part is a success so far, but this doesn’t seem to be translating into the funds. I may have to resort to shaming people publicly if this doesn’t improve.

(I seem to be ready for my trip to Chicago)

I’m not sure of the efficacy of commodity grains in producing beard hair, but with the application of sausage and bacon, you certainly can produce a manly breakfast. But I suppose the application of sausage and bacon makes just about any meal more manly. A shame they don’t trade pork belly futures any more.

(Prepared to defend myself from my Day Four avatar)

Enjoy the full whiskerage while you can — I’m in a wedding tomorrow and so while abiding by the rules I will have to trim the neck region to avoid looking too disreputable. In the meantime, I hope my armament will be enough to protect my six cities.

(… You see, he thinks I’m crazy. And I’m the President. So I’ve got the box. Damn straight.)

I think the beard growth is going to my head — I’ve been having some funny thoughts about world domination. Unfortunately, my donations are still running a little low. Thanks to those who donated already, but if I don’t get some more soon, I may blow up a little.

(Some days you just feel the need to toss a barrel at a mustachioed hero)

It’s early in the month still, but not so early that I can’t start working out to prepare for the manly contests to come. I’m sure lifting brewing equipment is exceedingly good for beard growth. I can feel my follicles straining as I type this.
