Greetings, The Internet.

As you may be aware, approximately 90% of Electronic Mail traffic has recently been taken up with your questions, in response to the massively successful Ask Guggenheim program.  I have worked my drones beyond the breaking point for hundreds of hours to cull only the most interesting messages, in between bouts of genius and the salvation of millions.  And now, the time has come for the first query to be quenched!

Dear Dr. Beuctus Guggenheim,

From what I understand, when you are not in homicidal rages and all-out wars with your secretary, you are quite the ladies man.  Is this true?

Sincerely,

A love-lorn fan of the Greatest Scientist of all Time

Ahem.

If I may direct your attention to the guidelines, I believe that you will find that you violate all 4, which is in itself a violation of the hitherto undiscovered 5th guideline (patent pending).

For instance, though you do use the Most Excellent Of Names in your introduction, I detect a certain lack of imagination, effort, competence, etc.  In the interest of improving communication, allow me to replace your mess with pristine beauty.

Oh!  What an honor it is for you to be reading so much as a single word of mine, much less the following 50 pages overflowing with praise!  If it please his Mighty Guggenheimness, do please bend your mind to my pathetic plea.

Not completely in form, nor indeed complete; I haven’t the hours to spend doing myself justice, but surely the lesst of you have nothing better to do.

Still, since I’ve put this much effort into it I might as well answer you.  I have attracted quite my share of ungrateful, dull-witted women.  I wedded, as is my way, the greatest of them.  Imagine why (besides the glory) I spend 26 hours a day at work.

Hundreds of drone-hours went into this post.  Hundreds, and not all survived.  I guess the remnant will have to cull twice as hard to keep up with the influx. I might also want to check that they can all read…

Until next time, strive for my perfection!

Tantalizing Similarities

In the decade or so that The Mushroom Wars has been percolating, we’ve noticed a lot of our ideas pop up in other media. That is because they are awesome, inevitable ideas, of course.

Most recently, I noticed that today’s Dr. McNinja was strangely reminiscent of the moment just after the *** in Guggenheim’s Mistake Chapter 2.  We have a doctor waking up after a CRAZY PARTY briefly pondering time travel and his own handwriting.  Of course there we part ways, GM into wolverines and McNinja into Benjamin Franklin, but it tickled my brain something fierce.

Oh god I’m blogging.  So ashamed.

New Header!

Hey everyone! Excuse us, as we’re going to be doing some possible tweaks to the site in the weeks to come. Right now, I’ve created a new header for our site, using a picture I got from Wikimedia Commons under Creative Commons license.  I hope you like it, please comment if you have any, er, comments…

Anyway, I feel like this site is too text-heavy, which gives it a somewhat overall drab look. A few more images might make it look better until we can figure out how to give it that sleek web2.0 look that seems to bring home the bacon nowadays (that might be a while; and by then it’ll probably be time for web3.0).

Also, I’ve added a link on the right to our Facebook page. If you aren’t already, become a Facebook fan – because it’s not official, until it’s on Facebook TM. Or don’t because you are a pretentious hipster. It’s up to you.

Welcome!

Hello, welcome to the web site of The Mushroom Wars.  One part science fiction, another part something else, and a third part party, it takes place  between  the years 1998AD and 2080ME. Too general? How about this: it chronicles the struggle and goings on of two inter-dimensional species meeting at the precipice of a singularity. And that is way more important sounding than it really is.

This is the story of one Beuctus Guggenheim, a mighty scientist who believes himself still mightier, and the troubles surrounding his one and only mistake.
