Last night, my beautiful, genius niece made me what can only be described as THE MOST AMAZING BRACELET EVER!
Here it is:
I asked the kid to make this for me because when I’m faced with a difficult decision, (like should I enter the Kumite Tournament even though it’s against the orders of the army, people get injured and die all the time, and a mean dude beat up my friend) I need to think about what Jean Claude Van Damme would do. The answer is ALWAYS “The Splits” — a badass move in JCVD land. And that’s what I eternally need, a kickass move that looks so totally ridiculous that my enemies collapse in a fit of laughter so intense that they’re not looking when I bash them in the face with a brick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you need one, too. “Where can I get one of those badass bracelets?” you’re probably squealing. Since my niece is only 14, I don’t think that I should create a sweat shop type environment in the garage and set her to making bracelets for you folks all day. I think I’d probably be deprived of my kid-watching priveleges if I did that, and then I wouldn’t have anyone to fetch me beers. So, in lieu of possible jail time, I have made you the following keychain. It’s not anywhere near as rad as my bracelet, but it’s the best I can do on zazzle.

I’m working on getting some plastic wristbands printed up for all you campers who want one (and for me to give away in bars). The wristband game is a pretty complex racket, however, and I’m having difficulty navigating the choppy rip-off seas. Stay tuned.
Thanks to GregPKeaton who reminded me of JCVD’s proclivity for the splits. Awesome call, “dude.”
