Hugh Bris is more becoming just a voice and not an actual person.

About Me

I'm a Podcaster/Blogger in Washington, DC. I have a "real" job as well but that is far, far less exciting.

My Blog, The Bloviations of Hugh Bris , has been put on hold a bit while my partners and I get The Four Guys Podcast up and running.



My Interests

My pirate name is: Dirty Tom Roberts

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

Get your own pirate name from piratequiz.com. Part of the fidius.org network.

I've got Style AND Swagger. Outstanding!



If you haven't found it already I highly recommend you go to Aplayr . They have some fun flash games and two of my biggest addictions, Kdice and Gpokr .

Kdice is a Risk like strategy game based on Dice Wars . I admit that it can be one of the most frustrating games but it is so damn addictive. Play it a few times and you will understand.

Gpokr is a free online Texas Holdem Poker game. You play against up to 9 others at a time at. There a wide range of blinds as you go up the ladder as well as "Sit and Go" tables. The object is to have the highest cash at the end of the month. No cash prizes but you do get bragging rights and, I believe, a table named for you.

I'd like to meet:

Ehh, couldn't do any worse. OK, I know it's a gag. Still though... Why Not?



Any artists, musicians, writers or egotists who have something BEYOND THE ORDINARY to say.

If you think you have something new and want to tell people about it drop The Four Guys a line.

Other than that, Diane Lane is the only name that pops into mind.

Music:

Same old shit, I'll listen to almost anything.

I listen to a lot of women musicians and groups. Sue me, I think their voices sound better and the have better legs. Nothing sexier than a woman with a guitar or a bass. Recently I've developed a taste bordering on fixation for Shakira, I could listen to her all day. But I'd prefer to watch, that woman can move.

Other than that there's still a bit of Punk left in me. Well, that is I still listen to Punk. Old School Stadium Rock still holds a place in my musical heart, Pink Floyd, Rush even The Greatful Dead. And as much as I hate to admit it, there are a few 80's bands that I'll listen to when no ones around.

I'm delevoping a fondness for Hip Hop thanks to Zeb showing me some of the good stuff. Being from D.C. I'd be a fool not to mention The Great Chuck Brown , Godfather of Go-Go. Say what you will about Go-Go but ya gotta give Chuck his due.

Movies:

Anything with Diane Lane.... ANYTHING!

Television:

The Best Show ever was Pinky and The Brain. Sorry Mr. Groening but The Simpsons will always be number 2.

Books:

Bill Bryson

Heroes:

Ummm...Isn't it called a Gyro? Or do you mean a Grinder?
