SKA-BOOM

Former deadbeat dad of this very site, Matt "SkaBoom" Etling (a.k.a. Brother Gohan, for the nights he tries to shoot energy bolts at us) spent a year or so writing the "Last Call" column at the (defunct) OraclesWar.com site and making with the funny.  Even today, he's a funny guy...especially around the eyes.  Of course, he puts it a little bit differently...
