THE PAST
In the event that you are an incredibly new newbie, or, you’ve been living beneath a stone: various members of this BBS are divided into two warring camps in As the BBS Turns (an on-going soap opera here). Early in the life of this soap opera, the Jambytes kidnapped Andi – one time leader of the MaximaMafia. The two groups then warred in a best of five test of wits & fitness known as The Manly Games. The winner to get control of Andi. The MaximaMafia did eventually win The Manly Games (with much cheating and foul play) and won Andi’s freedom three weeks ago.
THE PRESENT
It turns out, that the Jambytes have a member with heretofore unknown abilities. EricL, is a psychology major and has spent years studying the mind control techniques of the Orient. He’s channeled all his skills and acquired knowledge & ability into brain-washing Andi. While in Jambyte captivity, Andi has been subjected to Chinese water torture, sleep depravation, and an assortment of other unpleasantries designed to break down his mental resolve.
EricL has confided to me that Andi was the toughest he’s ever seen. That it took twice as long to break him as a “normal” human being, but in the end, Andi couldn’t hold out forever. He was broken down and converted, just like Patty Hearst. He’s now a 100% loyal Jambyte. And, EricL did such a good job that he not only converted Andi, he actually convinced him to be the trigger man in the biggest double cross in Maxima.org history. The total destruction of his former colleagues cars.
THE FUTURE
While this is fun for me to do, it is simply too time consuming. Thusly, I have two announcements. As the BBS Turns will exist in a different capacity than you are all accustomed to. It will no longer appear “regularly” on Friday mornings, but will be more of a “now you see it, now you don’t” affair. There’s just too many people here now & my life is too hectic to carry on.
Secondly, I am pleased to announce a new member of the creative team – JimW. Unknown to any of you, JimW has already had a hand in AStBBST. He helped me out by co-writing some of the segments in the final, three-part blow out of Event #5. And did a fine job I might add. Thanks again Jim.
Jim has stated that he would like to take over some of the responsibility and control of AStBBST, which is fine with me. So, I’ve hired him on as Co-writer and Technical Editor. While I will retain creative control of this fiasco, Jim will write and post episodes completely independent of me, I independently of him, and we will sometimes co-write. So don’t be surprised if you see an AStBBST sometime soon, without my name associated with the post. Jim has free reign.
If you are neither a Jambyte nor a MaximaMafia member and you want in on this, you need to post your desire here or email me.
THE VISION
If you’re curious, here’s were all of this is going. With The Manly Games series behind us, and now that Andi has turned on the MaximaMafia, the next series is going to be “Andi on the Run”.
Needless to say, the MaximaMafia is thoroughly agitated with their cars being destroyed. The Mafia takes a vow of revenge against Andi, a vow to hunt him down for all the days of their lives & bring him to justice!
Andi is forced under ground. He lives by moving from city to city & hiding out with various members of the Jambytes – until the Mafia catches up with him and he’s forced back out onto the road. This will do several things: a) make it easy for us to include and all members of the BBS that want to be written into the stories at one point or another b) make for some thrilling narrow escapes and of course c) result in some viscous beat downs!
So, if you get an email one day asking you about where you live, some local references or landmarks, and who (if anyone) from the BBS also lives in your city – beware. Because Andi may be on his way – or – you may be on your way there in pursuit of him. One way or another, little Skippy, I hope you’re a quick healer, because the forecast calls for pain.

...imagine a profile photograph of a modded Pebble Beige Max. A long description of everything that I've done to it (including the MT-90 tranmission oil upgrade), and some witty reference to AStBBST here. And there you have my sig. Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."
