About Me

"Jack Broad" was raised in the early 16th century by a horse named Feffer. He was a fine,dark horse with spots of white around his faces. "Jack" became troubled when he saw Feffer and a small boy becoming intimate on a mountain, so he fled. He travelled throughout Europe and finally settled down in the village of Chalke (Don't look for it- it was burned by the Malky in 1584 and there is very little documentation concerning it's whereabouts or its existence, for that matter)."Jack" was taken in by a very friendly, Belgian couple and began his life-long study of upholstry. Sadly in 1602, "Jack" was mauled and killed by the infamous Shettlehekke (a legendary Nordic monster possessing mystical powers, resembling a gibbon mixed with a Shetland pony) but also became eternal in the attack. "Jack" now plays music in the NYC area. In his spare time, "Jack" also enjoys puppet shows and playing football with the Green Bay Packers and is also known by the name of Atari Bigby. "Jack" will also become Senator Barack Obama's vice president when he is elected in 2008.
