Mantastic Op-Ed Piece

I'm Sick Of The Whining! by John Koester

I just have to say I'm a little ashamed of the whining going on around the Mantastic blog.

Jesus Christ, how simple are the rules. Pick a style, live with it for a month. How freaking hard is it to figure out how long a month is? What?! They didn't know their hair would grow? Jonathan Knight's the only one making me proud. Taking it like the MAN we all know he is. Gravel and disembowled animals? Shit doesn't get more Mantastic than that. I think he's a lifer.

For the rest of them? "Ohhhh, my face itches!" "My wife wants me to shave!" Who the hell are these people? How did they get jobs in this industry? (Ed. note: It's a pansy industry, that's how.) I want names. It's bad enough Eric J and I have to live through the deriding comments from the contestants in our area (mostly Jim Brown) because we refused to give up our Mantastic lifestyles just for the sake of a month long contest. We live Mantastic! Every fucking day. It's a commitment. It's not a game. It's where we live.

Let em tear their faces off and go crying to mommy I say. The sooner we find out who we can count on the better.

Love the T-shirts.
