Mopey

About Me

My real name is Matthew Nels Erickson, but you can call me Mopey, Marquis de Mopis, The Bearded Mongolian, Mopis, Mopis-operandi, E, Fat Man, or any variation derived from the above monikers. I like to drink beer, go outside, quote movies, make fun of my friends and most other people, drink, chase the muff around, go yachting, take nothing seriously, drink beer, talk about any type of outdoor gear, molest said gear, use said gear, make fun of gapers with Mike Keane, cure hangovers by going on ski tours, and drink beer, ski in summer months, and play kickball. I don't like pedestrans who walk slow, people who think there isn't anyone else on this planet other than themselves, crappy windshield wipers, being underwater, sand, milk, and primetime television. Just remember alcohol is the solution to and cause of, all of life's little problems.
