All my favorite singers couldn't sing.

About Me

I write things down. Sometimes people pay me for the things I've written down. I am okay with this.

This is my MySpace page. It's mostly for screwing around with my friends. For professional-type things, check out my horribly neglected blog at: www.frankbeaton.com

Rustlers, cut-throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperadoes, mugs, pugs, thugs, nit-wits, half-wits, dim-wits, vipers, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull-dykes, train-robbers, bank-robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers, and Methodists.
