Fear the Beard Raw Feed  

It would have to take a lot for me to promote Akon on this blog, but that's how much love I have for one Matt Price. To let you know how small the Yay Area is, both D. Turman and myself had worked with Matt Price separately at two different jobs before we figured out [...]...

With the dog days of summer upon us, basketball season months away and life's responsibilities piling up like the unopened mail on top of my refrigerator, I have decided to take a hiatus from this fine institution. I leave you in the capable hands of Mssrs. Dolin and Meschery and trust that you ......

Since it's Tuesday, I'm going  to talk about why I hate the Olympics, or more over, why I don't care. I'd rather watch the Special Olympics. Competing for hugs and smiles would be way more interesting to me. Seriously, I'd rather watch the Bay Area's own Special Olympian, Mike Bailey, go for the......

I don't have too much to add to this one. I sort of see it as required posting due to the extreme bearded nature of the content. With that said, I have heard a rumor that eBay has seen a spike in the sales of old refrigerators and broken air conditioning units. So I guess [...]...

The first rule of Beard Club is to talk about Beard Club, or at least that's what I assume after meeting Bay Area filmmaker Laura Lukitsch, producer of the documentary film Beard Club. I met Laura at DIY Days, a day-long conference in SF on do-it-yourself film production, distribution and promot......

No, no. I'm kidding of course. But, even with all of the Warriors young talent, the elephant remains in the room. Everyone who watched this team regularly knows that Baron brought much more then his great stats to the team. That's why, in my estimation, his departure gives rise to one of bigg......

As chronicled here before, sometimes these things work out great. Sometimes, not so much. This example would fall into the latter category. And much like the infamous leg-through-hoop vid, this dude was left for dead by his cohorts. What is it with these guys? Were they just eager to flee the ......

While I sit around upstairs waxing endlessly about beards, basketball and such, one of my more enterprising neighbors has quietly built a reputation as an acclaimed director and producer of independent documentary films. Cassandra Herrman is her name, and along with partner Kelly Whalen, their......

This was just the preview. Oh, there's more. Much more. Click the button to the right. I dare you. Watch the whole thing. Then I double dare you. Take the plunge. I'm still deciding if I can reach the bar. It's pretty high. You've got an Eazy-E-era "Compton" hat. Some "locs." The Beard. And a ......

As speculated on by FTB nearly a year ago, the long awaited combo of Boom Dizzle and White Chocolate has finally made the menu. Of course, it will only be served in LA-area T.G.I. Fridays, but hey. If indeed there is such a thing as "too much flavor," as speculated by Meschery in the original [...]...

Earlier tonight at the big FTB quarterly planning meeting, the subject of bad athlete raps came up. Now, while some ballers have flexed some skills, most efforts were ill-advised at best. So, here's a little summertime fun. One position. Two bad raps. Ten minutes of your life you can't have back......

I didn't even see it. I was driving home from a weekend in the mountains. Who cares about the Olympics? I went for a five-mile run in the shadow of Mount Lassen. I ate a bacon-wrapped steak. Swam in an alpine lake. I was living it up. Kobe who? Oh yeah. That guy. Once I got [...]...

You've got to be a pretty lonely and bored individual to take up Googlewhacking with any seriousness. What's Googlewhacking you ask? Googlewhacking is where you do a Google search for two words and get just one result, or to quote Googleswhack.com, "Your goal: find that elusive query (two wor......

Rarely do we here at FTB quote or comment on a San Francisco Chronicle article. Why? Because The Chronicle is the Minnesota Timberwolves of large market newspapers. Sure, we like Gwen Knapp and some of the other sports reporters, but overall, the paper is wack-arnolds.  And don't even mention it......

After initial speculation that the Oklahoma City franchise recently stolen from Seattle would be named the "Barons," new information has surfaced. Apparently dissatisfied with the prospect of capitalizing on the region's history of disenfranchising Native American land–and unable to land Baron D......
