Day 4: DON DRAPER #atozchallenge
I know I said I’d do Daffy Duck but…nah. Changed my mind. I can do that, you know. It is my blog. Not to say I don’t like the little black duck—and I especially love that he hates that long-eared bastard, Bugs Bunny—but I think I want to sink my teeth into something meatier: Mad [...]

Day 3 (sorta): Captain America #atozblogchallenge
As much as I love the Avengers, I’ve never really been a Cap fan. He’s too much of a Boy Scout for me, he didn’t really have any powers, and he just had that damn shield. Throwing it never seemed that awesome to me. And he had wings on his head. Little bitty ones. It’s [...]

Day 2 (Kinda): The Batman #atozchallenge
So nothing says commitment like failing to post on the SECOND DAY OF A 30 DAY CONTEST! But I have excuses. First, it’s hot. Second, I’m on vacation. At Disneyland. Trying not to break it. Again. I’m here with the family—you remember this cast of characters, right? The Wife, the Honey Badger and the Boy. [...]

Day 1: The Avengers #atozblogchallenge
Hello boys and girls! Today on our wonderful little show, we’re going to try and experiment. Now, we both know that I LOVE villains and, quiet as it’s kept, you do too—that’s why you keep coming back, isn’t it? But it’s a brand new year, guys! We’ve done the villain is bad, look at how [...]
The A to Z Blog Challenge…Again? #atozchallenge
It’s that time of year again where bloggers of all shapes, colors and hues shake off our wintery cloaks of Snuggies and Forever Lazies, grab those new recyclable Starbucks cups (which are realls just lids!) and start blogging in earnest. For 30 days. Then we go back in our dark holes. That’s right, folks, Spring [...]

FESTIVAL OF FEINDISHNESS: BARNABAS COLLINS
A little bit ago, when I was consistently writing my blog and working my book and supplying you with much needed hits to feed your villainy addiction, I solicited input for who my next villain should be. My good friend, Miss Melodee, read what I said about Lestat the Vampire and suggested I tackle one [...]

Fine…I’m Listening
This has been an interesting week. I’ve been having these conversations that are pushing me to step my game up. To respect that I’m grown. I took my little Honey Badger to archery this week. Now you might be thinking, “Dude, the Honey Badger don’t care. You think giving her a weapon is a good [...]

Getting My Vader On
Hey there friends and foes! Welcome back to Crooked Letterz—the blog for your most villainous desires, now new and improved for the Grown and Sexy set. It’s March and that means a few things: the sad closing of my 40th birthday extravaganza (yes, it was the extended dance remix birthday), college basketball tournaments, and another [...]

Just Swinging Through…
Hey everybody! You might not remember me, but my name is Chris and this is my blog. I know, I know–you thought I pulled one of those Lifetime movie, let me abandon my first blog maneuvers so I can shack up with some young, blonde blog and make little posts with her, huh? It’s not [...]

So Long 30s!
My wife woke me up this morning, which is always fantastic, but she ruined my grin when she said, “Are you ready for your last day?” Last day? But I’m not…oh…oooohhhh…it’s the last day of my 30s. That’s right, in about 18 minutes I’ll cross that threshold into mid-life. I turn (heavy sigh) 40. Forty. [...]
