    Very well done on these, Stonehands.

    The mission of the story teller is to put a new lick of paint on an old car, and you've done so with style.

    I hope this doesn't come off as boasting, but I have a friend out on the west coast who is in pretty regular contact with Julia Burley. He was kind enough to send an email to me that says the following:

    "I had Julia read your piece ["The Tenth God of War"], she thought it was a masterpiece. She told me she might give you a reply for the fine work you did on her husband she thought the piece was ‘wonderful’."


    There are many Burley fans out here -McGrain, et al. and I thought that it would be worthwhile to share Julia's thoughts about an article that has ESB Classic's fingerprints on it...

    Yeah, that's pretty cool. She always sounded like a really cool lady. She took no ****.

    but not even a quick look at the list? :hey

    sweet, forgot about those..... got site banned from google index; tried a cheeky trick to improve its ranking :lol:

    will be back in the index soon.... not that it was high up anyway (page 15), slow process of getting it ranked high!

    Scroll down and have a party. They used to have some serious graphics done by a friend of mine but the site was revamped and lost them all.

    I think you can still see them on my profile page here.

    I love this one:

    Had no idea this was your material until last night incidentally catching wind of it watching a Harry Greb YT video. Deserved to be bumped back to the front for those that havent read it.

    Liston Chronicles also a particular favorite. :good

    Fantastic. I initially had doubts about the order of the protagonists but after the first few sentences I was swept up in an amazing narrative that I couldn't stop reading. The way you write the articles is second to none (although I was so engrossed it led to me ignoring my fiancee and a subsequent dose of cold shoulder treatment :lol:)

    I loved the articles myself.. and love how they were written... I disagree with Burley being so high... but meh... everybody has their own opinion. Great job
