This site is written by two brothers who live an ocean away from each other. The older and much more attractive brother, UltraBob, lives in Japan; while the younger, but tragically disfigured brother, Johnny, resides in Idaho where he is working on a Criminal Justice degree with an eye toward becoming an attorney.

Johnny does the clever writing for the site, in a style that has been described by many as "like The Onion!", but he has a serious side too, and often writes about issues that he is currently thinking about.

UltraBob is the Chief Marketing Officer for japanaid.com, the Editor and Publisher of Think For a Change Magazine, and does web design work for some friends and for the Japan Australia University Club (in progress when this was written). He also tries to get involved with political and social causes that he believes in, and has a particular interest in the history and future of labor unions and worker's movements. UltraBob is responsible for the layout and design of the website except in cases where credit is given to someone else.

Johnny and UltraBob wrote messages introducing themselves when they first started this monster, and so without further ado, we'll let you read their self introductions.

P.S.  We hope to have pictures, sketches, or some other visual representations of ourselves up soon

Johnny

Greetings Mortals!

I am the one and only fantasticly amazing John! You've already had a fair intro into this little doozy of a site we've got going here from my brother, so mine can be brief. A little by the way of introducing myself. I am a Sagittarius who enjoys long walks on the beach and sunsets. I am a Criminal Justice Major at Boise State University (Boise, Idaho) with aspirations of attending a half-way decent law school after graduation. I am considered quite an eligible bachelor and was voted "The Dynamic Duo's Sexiest Man of the Year" in 2002.


My hope is that although this page will contain a certain amount of politics and the like, we won't get bogged down in boring crap. It's my hope that the few of you who stumble upon this website will want to come back because it's interesting, insightful, and fun! I would like for it to be rather laid back and at times humorous. As I already mentioned above, I am currently involved in higher education, and therefore have become sufficiently sick of intellectual crap (a.e. big words masking no independent thought) and really and trully hope that I don't fall into that same old sink-hole. That being said, this page is done on our spare time, and as such it may contain its share of typo's and incomplete sentences and grammatical faux pas. I would ask that you bear with us and cut us a little slack at these times.


Well I think that is sufficient from my end, and I would just like to leave you with this opening thought, "It's the early bird that catches the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese."

UltraBob

We Will Rule As Two Kings

Well, since I came up with the initial idea for this monstrosity, and set it up, I'll make the first post. I am Ultrabob and this is a collaboration between me and my little brother who is bigger than me. He is also much funnier and has a better way with words although he is wrong on most issues of import. I'll let him introduce himself a bit more completely.


I'm a 26 year old phenomenon who enjoys making and listening to music, writing poetry, looking at and trying to create visual art, reading, and writing. I publish a 'zine called "Think For a Change Magazine", and someday when I'm happy with the website, I'll let you all (all one or two of you), know the URL (web address). I'm also into computers and currently work as a web and graphic designer. I am currently studying the JAVA programming language, and hope to parlay this knowledge into a better job until I have the resources and the inspiration to get my own company off the ground. My views are often considered quite liberal, although I consider my ideas to be quite simple and common-sensical. I am simply pro-person, and anti-"feelingless corporation with the goal of making as much money as possible no matter who gets hurt."


I envision this page to be a discussion between my brother and me about whatever we feel like talking about, or just a place for us to post random thoughts which will hopefully be interesting for some people to read. I also see it as a place for my brother to riff. He has an awesome sense of humor, and I hope to see him display it on this page. He and I disagree on many, many issues, so this page may also be a place for you to watch knock-down, drag-out, no-holds-barred, bloody, brutal, wars of words.


Johnny and I live far away from each other; in fact we are in different countries. I live in the wilds of Tokyo, Japan while he resides in the United States. At this point we have not seen each other face to face for about a year and 8 months, although we write to each other fairly frequently through instant messaging services. I'll leave my introduction to this page at that, and let Johnny add his two cents worth when he can, but I hope that you'll find this site entertaining, and learn from it now and again. I'm also confident that you'll find that while Johnny may be wittier; I'm the better man.

Oriko Leaderboard:

(oriko means good kid)

Johnny 95.5
Its this big guy's turn for the spotlight. Just finished chatting with him on Skype and was struck, as always, by his insight and humor. Get well, Baby. Don't let that cold get the best of you. Take some Zicam.
UltraGirl 95.4
This girl has been lately leaving insightful comments on my posts, a move likely to ensure her a good ranking on the Oriko Leaderboard. Thanks, UltraGirl. I too am glad my camera returned from the Center of the Earth. And do give those cranberries another try.
UltraBob 95.3
k Has been a little busy, but hopefully that's good news for Akatombo Media. We keep missing each other on Skype, but we'll figure it out one of these days. Thanks for the comments. Someday I may finish writing about the trip!
Jim 95.2
Am a little disappointed cause I thought I was going to get to see this guy next weekend at Aunt Debi's wedding. Now he's not coming after all, which is probably a wise choice and all, but still drops him a bit in the Leaderboard ratings til I get over it. Give me another day or two. And he DID make me and UltraDad a super-awesome Anniversary Card with a fun guessing game. We're still waiting to hear....who won?
Heather 95.1
Hasn't been leaving comments, and refuses to share her taco dip recipe, but she did send UltraDad and me an absolutely gorgeous Anniversary card and cash for a dinner out, which we have already made use of. Thanks, Honey.
Polly 88.0
I'm going to leave this kitty up here ahead of the dogs for now. They are still barking at her at every juncture, and as far as I can see, the only thing she does to instigate it is to exist.
Murphy the Wonderdog 87.9
Doesn't bark at Polly as much as his little demon-brother, but does bark at said brother way too much. Murphy, you are the (relatively speaking) "Big Dog". If you want the chewbone Rowdy has, don't bark at him; take it away from him!
Rowdy 75.0
Still too much barking, and a little too much pooping and peeing in the house. Is starting to learn a few tricks, but is not as clever as Murphy in that way.
