Dear Antal,
I got the invitation to compete in the Tough-Guy tournament yesterday and immediately placed a large bet that you would place a large bet against me. So I've actually already won big money, so thanks for that. I plan to coat my body with WD-40 for the competition so that I can't be placed in a sleeper hold and all blows will slide right off of me. In addition, you don't know this, but I've been taking classes at the Discover Center regarding how to make your body a "living weapon." I've come pretty far and now qualify as a cudgel. By January I suspect I will parlay up to a shillelagh, bo stick, or even perhaps a halberd. Therefore, your bet is not as safe as you may have thought. I hope you've got a lot of bonds in your 401k, that's all I can say.
I remember your ex-wife, Quimby. She made quite a custard pie. I think you did deserve to get kicked out mostly because of that time you blew out all the doors in your house with plastique as a "party gag." It's a shame, though, that you had to separate before she invented dehydrated water and made billions. Perhaps coming to my release party would actually be a great way for you to reconnect with your feminine side and overcome these blockages you've been experiencing in your Chi. Think about it.

The good news: I signed you up for the Tough-Man in Tulsa, OK this coming January. I will be betting against you as payback, however I will attend to watch. I really hope you lose.
The bad news: Can't go to Quimby's because Quimby is my ex-wife's name and I still love her. But she kicked me out due to my pasty shoulders. And the cheating thing. Some babes like pasty shoulders. And the alpaca ranch was a horrible investment on my part. But I still place blame on the pasty shoulders. And the knife-throwing hobby. And when I tested the air bags in her car.

Congratulations David! Can't wait to read the book!
Creator Daniel Clausen on September 23, 2011
David, Congrats. I know your book is going to be amazing. I can't wait to read it and rave about it to others.
Creator Frances Winkler on September 13, 2011
YAY, you got funded! I'm so proud of you!
Now send me my darn goofy paper book!
Creator Meagan Downey on September 8, 2011
I just want you to know that my backing of this project is in no way an indication of my support of your use (whether staged or real) of a vintage typewriter to write your novels. No wonder it took you 7 years to complete it. I am, however, vehemently supporting your decision to sport dark-rimmed glasses in your advanced years. It suits you very much, and seeing you wax poetic in them in well worth the $50.
I, like your former roommate, will make wild demands upon your consciousness streams when the time has come to reap my Kickstarter reward. You know, for old times sake.
Congrats on the imminent success of the project, and also the glasses.
Meagan

I totally dig the cover art!

Dear Antal,
I do owe you a big apology for not being at the Tough-Man competition, but I was very busy betting against you. It's not that I didn't think you were it was the fact that you have no sense of balance and your shoulders are made of paste. I regret being right, but I made $15,000 in that match, which I subsequently lost investing in Betamax.
I think Andrew moved on from Nu-Skin to Amway and eventually Mary Kay. He's been spotted in a pink Cadillac.
Creator Antal Szabo on September 5, 2011
I am your old roomate and such. I am now a backer. Hencethereforemoreover I would like my stream of consciousness writing to include my memory of when you tried and failed to talk me out of signing up for the Tough-Man competition in Columbus, OH and I got my ass kicked and you didn't show up for the fight. You were right. I should not have attended as I still have an eye floater 22 years later. And a pinched nerve. Does Andre Turdes still sell Nu-Skin?

Wow, so many skills displayed. Drumming, typing, eating. This guy does it all! How can you say 'no' to a go-getter like that? I'm wondering what was in those cookies. You were being nice to a dog. A DOG!!

You had me at "hello." The beginning of that video is hilarious.
