About Me

It's a Pogue, no it's a John Frochaux, A not so available late-bachelor, or a just one of this century's truest Neo-Renaissance front runners? You decide. Get to know the coziness that is his dry wit, get to know the boiling cauldron that is his ever evolving frontal lobe. The only man with the balls to call George Bush Jr. an unfit president. Mr. Intensity, Mr. Romance, Mr. Wonderful, Mr. Articulate, Mr. Best Man, hell he's even Mr. Worst Man's best friend. And now direct quotes from things he said today: "Really, this orange juice is pretty darn substandard?" "Remember, it's all about sentence structure. Hey tell her to get off the sofa!" "Oh those darn bargain hunters, always gettin' their panties in a twist." "It's four o' clock."...for more info visit www.factorviii.net and/or the BLOG at www.johnfrochaux.com

Television:

Has a couple'a good shows here and there. But the dark ages of Television began when The Kids in the Hall where taken off syndication. MST 3K is also another great show, that's Mystery Science Theater 3000 for those of you not in "the know". Too bad both shows have long been cancelled. "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is great! Larry David is in the Mix. The Ali G show is incredible.

Yes, I guess you can say I'm extremely well-read; I read books, lots of 'em, tons. Go read Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller, then you'll see things my way.
