Mountain Man Probably Scares Chuck Norris, Luckily He Wants to be My Friend

This week I got a friend request from a guy nicknamed “Mountain Man,” who also happens to be my Myspace Friend Request of the Week. Sounds pretty illustrious, hey? He stood out for two obvious reasons 1) he’s a dude 2) He looks like a ripped homeless person that is either an unemployed shoe-bomber or a roadie for Matisyahu.

Normally when I get a friend request and I can’t figure out a good reason as to why we should be connected I deny, but with this I was far too curious to miss out on what Myspace greatness might be waiting for me… Oh and my best guess as to how I got friended – the Adword Monster is 8’11” with a bodybuilder body type.

Once I got to the page and started fishing around, the guy is actually really interesting. He works out alone in his garage and does crazy person stuff like eat whole eggs. Whole as in white, yolk, and shell. He gained internet fame on a bodybuilder forum as a breakout personality. It looks like he’s trying to spin some of that notoriety into marketing momentum for himself, his band, and his ideas. He’s done a good job of harnessing accidental internet niche fame and making it work for him.

If you get a chance, check out a full interview with Mountain Man on BodyBuilding.com and his Myspace page.

Oh and I added him btw. Partially because he’s interesting, but mainly because he scares the hell out of me! Would you tell that guy no?

And finally for your viewing pleasure… the right(?) way to eat an egg.
