What this site is about:

On a cold rainy day in 1999 I realized that I needed a constructive way to relieve my anger, stress, and tension. That is when I came up with the idea for this site. The principle is simple; Mark gets mad about something, then Mark writes a rant. I had no idea that it would evolve into what it currently is. I have given some thought to jazzing it up with some of the newer html tools out there, but have decided not to. Showing off my programming prowess, or lack of it, isn't what this is all about. This is a place for me and my writing buddies to vent.


The writers:

The Bastard: That would be me!
Sparky: A good friend who is like a little sister to me.
JC: Also a good friend. His sense of humor is similar to mine.
Barb: An old friend whom I finally talked into writing a rant.
Dave: A damned good friend who happens to be one of the most articulate people I know.
Bane: The last bastion of sarcasm on planet Earth. Well, maybe not, but sarcastic nonetheless.
'psych_O_logical': My son-in-law. Good guy with a good sense of humor.
