Just thought I'd let folks know that I've started a little online narrative at www.benjaminbirdie.com
I'd love to see what intelligent people have to say about it, i.e. you guys.
There's a new episode every Wednesday.
Thanks in advance.
Benjamin.

very nice ben, and reminds me i must get on with my own on-line writing (damn the re-writes of chapter one).

Just one favour to ask you: Please tell me you came up with the idea of beer bottle baseball for the story and haven't actually played it. Please, hey I'm worried here kid!

Very cool. I too feel I should be putting my stuff on the 'net... I guess I should write more, so that I'll have some stuff to put on the net...

'Beer Bottle Baseball' is very similar to 'Fizzball', which is a great game. The idea is similar, but instead of bottles it uses unopened cans of the cheapest beer you can find. The pitcher shakes them up as hard as possible before pitching. (It's more fully described in the comic "Sam & Max: Freelance Police".) Tremendous fun.

I've never played beer bottle baseball myself, just thought it would be one of the funniest things for a frat boy to do. I especially liked the idea of goggles and surgical masks.

Thanks for reading, you guys. And, yeah, new stuff every Wednesday.

Let me know when you guys have posted stuff and where.
Benjamin.
