If you're not knitting, the terrorists win

Save The Barbarians


This is Art and Russ, two Barbarian Brothers cursed by an evil witch. You wouldn't know it to look at them, but Art and Russ are teenage barbarians. Yes, they're teenagers.

But Art and Russ don't have the luxury of being teenagers--eating whatever they want without gaining a pound, pulling all-nighters, and driving like an immortal being (that can't've just been me)--like we did. Instead, they've been forced to grow old up too quickly by the unfair hexing practices of magic users in that part of the world.

Think of how it is for these poor boys to go to bed each night, tired, aching, and worried that tomorrow will be the day their employer decides someone younger could do the job better. Think of the creaking and popping with every move, the decreased endurance that makes them park closer and closer to the mall doors and even suspiciously eye the handicap spaces, wondering if they can get away with parking there for just a few minutes. Think of the grey hair and subtle, but inevitable, weight gain that makes them look in the mirror and worry "Oh God, am I still attractive?" (Really. That can't just be me.)

I know what you're thinking. Me too. But these boys are just teenagers. They haven't had the time or opportunities experience to hedonistically abuse their bodies like we have.They don't deserve middle age. That's why it's so unfair.

But, unlike you and I, Russ and Art don't have to be old 40 forever. Their spell can be reversed, if only they can convince the witch to do it. And that's why they need our help.

Check out The Brothers Barbarian online and learn about their quest for a cure.

Go to The Brothers Barbarian on FaceBook and Like them. (They're likable guys, c'mon.)

Go to YouTube and subscribe to The Brothers Barbarian web series.

And tell your friends. After all, this is America. No one should have to go to bed at night, middle aged.
