Gnarly Bandit: A Monumental Undertaking

She squeezed it tight and climbed carefully up on the riser that stood in front of the pay-per-view binoculars attached to the railing. Raising up on her tiptoes, she could just… barely… bring her eyes … Read More →
UMTR Ultra Series – Sweaty, Sweaty Summer Racing Edition
Good afternoon! We had a mighty warm day at the Voyageur, and I hear that Marquette is looking toasty for those of you headed to the UP. I can only imagine that Lean Horse is likely to be a continuation on the scorching race season, so hit those fluids hard (I also recommend Freeze Pops highly. They may have saved my bacon at Voyageur!) As … Read More →

Gnarly Bandit: Searching for the King of Cool
The Gnarly Bandit considered the curious amalgam of rough-necks, goons and thieves that passed for clientele in this well-aged watering hole. Back home, they would have been at each other’s throats. Here, they conducted themselves as gentlemen; like siblings home for Christmas, quelling their differences, if only to smile simultaneously (and momentarily) for the family picture. It was a détente the patrons accepted for Bandit-Con, … Read More →
