If you’re new to this series, this is the (mostly) monthly segment where we crown the hottest of the hot, the sexiest of the sexy, the most kissable of the, uh…

Hey, I write fiction, not poetry.

But you get the idea! Those who receive this honor will stand amongst our running line of pinups, including righteous time-traveling dudes, ass-kicking space Marines, and that one guy who’s really obsessed with mashed potatoes.

So let’s get to it!

Mr. January is an archeology professor who drives the girls wild, but he prefers to hang out in booby-trapped caves, searching for lost treasure. He spends his time being chased by gigantic boulders, aborigines, and Nazis, and trying not to get his face melted off by powerful ancient artifacts. His trusty leather whip never leaves his side. He is…

…Indiana Jones!

Actually, that’s not even his real name — Indy’s the name of his family dog! But whatever. He’s Mr. January so he can call himself whatever he wants.

Mr. January’s turn-ons include locating ancient treasure, not getting ancient treasure stolen from him by annoying Frenchmen, and not getting his beating heart ripped out of his chest. His turn-offs are Nazis and snakes. He’s been featured in three movies so far.

I SAID THREE! Crystal Skull is dead to me.

Now on to Miss January!

Miss January would probably tell you she’s from nowhere and everywhere, but she’s actually from a town called Purgatory. After bouncing around, she’s finally moved back home to the delight of absolutely no one. But at least now she can attend to family business. Just arm her with her great-great (great?) grandpappy Wyatt’s gun and let her at it. She is…

…Wynonna Earp!

Miss January’s turn-ons include alcohol, tight pants, more alcohol, and sarcasm. Her turn-offs include the demonic scum invading her town. If you head out on the town with Miss January, uh, just stand out of the way of her gun and get ready to run!

Congratulations to Mr. and Miss January 2018!

Happy 2018, everyone!

This is not that kind of pinups list… weirdo.

No babe is honored on our Science Fiction and Fantasy Pinup list unless they’ve got the brains and all the right moves.

Being blue or green doesn’t hurt either.

So let’s announce our November 2017 pinups!

Mr. November runs to us from the future, where he’s the underdog on the hottest reality show. He spends his time running, trying to stay alive, running, clearing his name of a crime he didn’t commit, and running.

And did I mention all the running?

Mr. November’s turn-offs are being attacked with chainsaws, being attacked with flamethrowers, being electrocuted, and homicidal hockey fans. His turn-ons include staying alive and insulting shady game show hosts.

He is…

…Ben Richards from Running Man!

When you’re out with Mr. November, you’ll spend your time running. And you’ll be doing it in a neon-yellow spandex suit, so let’s hope the gladiators who chase you are all colorblind.

Congratulations to Mr. November!

And now for our next pinup, Miss… uh, Mister… Wait a minute — this pinup isn’t bound by gender!

This hottie lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. They started out as one of the bad guys, but they were reprogrammed to be one of the good guys. So you know this hottie is on your side. Mostly. Probably. Okay, this hottie’s only helping you because the pilot said so.

Still, this pinup is dashing and daring, known to come to the team’s rescue. They’re a master analyst with superior tactics, and can be found flying around the galaxy wielding masterful insults.

They are…

…K-2SO from Star Wars: Rogue One!

This pinup’s turn-ons and turn-offs include… uh, nothing. K-2SO doesn’t have any because it’s a robot!

I do it because I care.

If you like what you see, subscribe to my email list and receive more crazy-hot monthly pinup action. Probably more crazy than hot. You’ve been warned.

So let’s get to it!

Mr. October is a vehicle enthusiast who dabbles in extreme ride-pimping. (Xzibit ain’t got nothin’ on this pinup!) Mr. October spends his time going back to the past and then backtracking to the future. He’s also an avid inventor, hoping to one day create a “golden ticket” invention to bring fame and fortune. In his free time, he likes to play pranks on the Libyans.

When you’re out with Mr. October you’ll think you’re on the road to adventure! But remember: wherever Mr. October goes, you won’t need roads.  He is…

Doc Emmett Brown from Back to the Future!

Mr. October enjoys walks by the clock tower, flux capacitors, and going precisely 88 miles per hour. His turn-offs include short extension cords and people who meddle with the future. Mr. October was named one of The 100 Greatest Movie Characters of All Time, coming in at #20, but this month he’s #1 in our book.

And now for Miss October!

Since we celebrate Halloween this month, I had to cast this Scream Queen as our leading lady. She’s a shy, All-American, midwestern girl who prefers books to chasing boys. She also has a teeny-weeny sibling rivalry problem. But don’t let that scare you off! Sure, she may have poked her brother’s eye out with a coat hanger, shot him, stabbed him a few million times, and also decapitated him, but Miss October is lovely.

Initially she’ll seem like the quiet type, but once her lungs get warmed up, you’ll change your mind about that. In fact, after a night out with Miss October, you should call your physician to get your eardrums checked out. She is…

Laurie Strode from the Halloween franchise!

Miss October’s turn-offs include psychopathic brothers, stalkers, and getting stabbed all the time. (So annoying, am I right?) If you score a date with Miss October, remember that you won’t be alone, so wear a comfortable pair of shoes. As the old saying goes: as long as you can outrun your date, you’ll be fine!

If you want a little more of Miss October, you’re in luck — she’s coming back for another Halloween movie in 2018!

Thank you for joining me for the return of the Monthly Pinups! For more pinup action, please subscribe. You can find the link in the sidebar.

For those long-time readers who may be wondering: the answer is YES, I’m back. I’ve recently made some big changes that allow me to focus on my writing, and I have some news to share. (Yes, Kari Hunter is coming!)

I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Stay tuned and Happy October, everyone!

Somehow, you guys keep coming back for more eye-searing action. (I’m beginning to worry.)

I hope you’re ready for the new year. We’re going to dive right in with the music edition! This month, we’re featuring the songs you know and wish you could forget love.

Miss January comes to us from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. As soon as you’re in her presence, you won’t be able to help but notice her lips and legs that seem to go for miles. She’s performed for tough audiences on planets everywhere, but currently rocks the house on Tatooine, delighting crime lords, bounty hunters, and scoundrels encased in carbonite.

She is…

…Sy Snootles of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi!

Miss January’s turn-ons include bosses who aren’t strangled to death by chicks in metal bikinis—because how else is she going to get paid? If you take Miss January out on the town, you’d better bring your dancing shoes and be prepared to boogie your buns off.

Just don’t do it over a Rancor pit.

Here’s a clip of Sy doing her thing in Jabba’s palace. The little disco song she sings in the movie is called “Lapti Nek” which means “Work It Out” in Huttese. (Trivia: the song was written by John Williams. Pretty awesome.)

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttV_PMNSYC8?rel=0&w=420&h=315]

Surprisingly, there’s a lot out on the internet about Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo Band. The Star Wars universe is vast and incredibly detailed, and Sy has a big back story. So, if you want a little more of Miss January, you’re in luck:

Sy Snootles’ story on Wookiepedia

Some goodies:

• Here’s a cool Max Rebo Band t-shirt.
• On Etsy, one lucky fan can pick up these vintage action figures of Sy and the Max Rebo Band for only $30USD.
• There’s also a super cool Jabba the Hutt “Palace” art print with Star Wars characters that form the letters. Sy Snootles forms the letter C. This print is so cool. I want it.
• And, of course, 10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Star Wars from io9.

Okay, it’s time to stop, collaborate, and introduce Mr. January. When good and evil collide in the middle of his club, he takes to the stage and provides the fighting soundtrack. This performer has mad skills, flaunting his moves, his suit, and his crotch. When he isn’t laying down the beats, he’s a private detective or something. Because if there’s a problem, yo, he’ll solve it. (Yes, I’m ignoring your collective groan.)

He is…

…Vanilla Ice from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Mr. January’s turn-on is hair gel. Lots and lots of hair gel. If you hit the town with Mr. January, avoid flames. Just sayin’. Also, avoid cymbals, because he goes crazy when he hears them.

Okay, I’m done with the puns. Really. Word to your mother.

Here’s Mr. January in action, doing his famous (and cringe-worthy) Ninja Rap from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_K6971WmAs?rel=0&w=420&h=315]

Of course, if you want a little more Mr. January, you can get it.

• Here’s a cool Go Ninja Go t-shirt from RedBubble.com. I really love the RedBubble shirts; I just wish they weren’t so damn expensive. Have realistic prices, RedBubble!
• Also, I found a simple white Ninja Rap shirt with a cool Asian/martial arts style design. I like this one.
• [ed: she doesn’t know what it is!]
• Buzzfeed has a silly article on 10 Epic Moments from the Vanilla Ice Ninja Rap Video.
• There is, for reasons that escape me, a dedicated website called NinjaRap.com. This site includes step-by-step instructions on how to get down like a ninja turtle. The website’s very cheesy (and from the look of it, incredibly old) but it made me giggle.

Stay tuned for more! In the next couple of weeks I’ll have an update on the next Kari Hunter book, which I am flying through. Very excited about this book, guys.

If this is your first time joining us, welcome! This is the monthly segment where we celebrate the hunks and hotties of the science fiction and fantasy world—the strong men and women with the guts, guns, and green skin to prove they’re the best and baddest. They ain’t your momma’s pinups.

Unless you have my mom. She’s pretty awesome.

For more pinups, check out our previous submissions.

Since I’m late on the pinups once again (gah), let’s just jump right into it!

Miss November hails from good, normal British stock—and don’t you dare look down on her for that. She’s loyal, brave, and is a fast draw with her wand. She can do everything a boy can do, except figure out a magic spell for manageable hair. When you’re in a jam and don’t know how to get out, never fear—her love of libraries has made her brain an encyclopedia! There’s never a problem she can’t solve with her books and big noggin. But before you scream, “Nerd alert!” let me assure you that she’s seen quite a few fights and never backs down from anything or anyone. The only thing bigger than her heart is her patronus.

She is…

…Hermione Granger from Harry Potter!

If you’ve never heard of Miss November, you must have been living under a rock for the last fifteen years. You should make yourself acquainted with our Miss November immediately! She’s strong, she’s brave, and she’s smart—everything we like in our sci-fi ladies. None of that whining, crying, hiding under the bed for her! And if you try that kind of behavior in her presence, she’ll pull you out by your hair and turn you into something awful. Believe me, she can do it.

Here’s a little more in case you can’t get enough of Miss November:

• 23 Signs You Are Hermione Granger (lots of gifs!) via Buzzfeed
• Everything I Need To Know I Learned from Hermione Granger, a cute blog post from Hello Giggles
• A cute “Keep Calm and Try Not To Get Killed, Or Worse—Expelled” t-shirt from Skreened

Moving on!

Mr. November comes to us from Astoria, Oregon. Like Miss November, he’s locked and loaded and always packing for a fight. At first glance, you’ll think he’s dressed like a young flasher-in-training, but once he shows you what he’s packing under his trench, you’ll change your mind faster than you can say “Pincers of Peril.” When the chips are down and his crew’s in danger, he’ll stand in the gap and whip out his contraptions. Hopefully they won’t punch him in the face first. Mr. November sticks with his friends to the end and never says die.

He is…

…Data from The Goonies!

I realize this movie’s super old and you probably haven’t seen it in a long time, but it’s so good. And Mr. November is great! He uses his brains and his heart to overcome adversity… and score some pirate treasure.

In case this just isn’t enough of Mr. November for you (of course it isn’t!) here’s a little more:

• F Yeah The Goonies! – an awesome Tumblr of Goonies gifs
• 10 Things You Might Not Know About the Goonies – from Tor.com
• An amazing Data costume t-shirt (that I really really want) from Stylin’ Online
• Another super cool Data shirt from RedBubble

Thanks for joining me for another month of Sci-Fi Pinups. I hope it brought you a little smile. If you like what you see and want a little more, pick up a copy of my bestselling comic urban fantasy novel, THE FOURTH CHANNEL.

Yeah, I don’t know what I’m saying either.

Anyway, the pinups are hot and ready for action! If you’d like to catch up on previous pinups, click the Sci-Fi Pinups link in the sidebar. (Our list of hotties started in January 2012, so if you want to peruse you’d better go to your bunk.)

Miss September is the girl next door from the rainy city of Seattle. She’s so adorable and such a sweetheart that you’ll offer to hack into the school computers to raise her grades. But don’t let her catch you doing it—her high moral standards will make you change it right back. Her turn-ons include talking computers, leg warmers, and bombing Las Vegas. Turn-offs include global thermonuclear war.

She is…

…Jennifer Mack from War Games!

Isn’t she adorable? I confess, this month’s female pinup was largely inspired by the book Ready Player One, a must read for nerds like me. There are a ton of ’80’s references and trivia, and War Games gets a major shout out. (Not going to spoil it for you, so if you want to know more, click the link and read the book!)

And now, here’s a clip of the iconic scene that shows Miss September (and Joshua the computer) being adorable.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXzNo0vR_dU?rel=0&w=560&h=315]
Shall we play a game?

And now for Mr. September! He was born on a battlefield, and the lust for adventure and mayhem took hold of him right from the womb. His days are spent wandering around the land, enjoying local cultures and making friends—and then pillaging the towns, strangling their kings, and becoming their ruler. That’s ambition, ladies! His turn-ons include oiled biceps, leather codpieces, and the lamentations of women. Turn-offs include nothing. Mr. September is always on.

He is…

…Conan the Barbarian! With sword placement that isn’t at all phallic!

If you head out on the town with Mr. September, bring your sword and your loincloth and prepare for a night of romance and pillaging.

As an added bonus, a very talented individual created Conan the Barbarian: The Musical! It’s a song from Conan to you. Pay special attention to the 2:09 mark for the best part of the song. Seriously. I watched that part ten times and nearly died laughing.

Subscribe to the site for more! Link is in the sidebar, and you can follow me on Facebook or Twitter. Next week, we’ll post another episode in our “Choose Your Own Adventure” style story, THE CURE. So stick around for more!

In related news, get off my lawn.

If this is your first time to the site, welcome! There are more pinups every month, and you can find other humor and satire in the other categories. At the moment, we’re running a Choose Your Own Adventure-style story where you choose the next step. It isn’t comedy, but it is exciting. And, of course, you’re welcome to join in the fun. So stick around! If you like what you see and want a little more, I also wrote a bestselling comic urban fantasy novel.

And now, without further ado, let’s announce the pinups!

Mr. August is a rags-to-riches story of a not-so-humble man who became a professional wrestler and then a porn superstar. After that, his ascension to President of the United States was practically guaranteed. He’s a man of the people, working hard to cure the problems of his mighty nation.

He is…

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho from Idiocracy!

In case you’re wondering, that’s an action shot of Mr. August giving his State of the Union Address at the House of Representin’.

Mr. August’s turn-offs are water, when everyone’s sh*t gets emotional, and reading. His turn-ons include the smartest person in the world doing his job for him, crushing the smartest person in the world with monster trucks when he isn’t doing that job fast enough, and Brawndo the Thirst Mutilator—it’s got electrolytes!

I went looking for some videos of Mr. August in action, but most of the videos have been removed due to copyright. However, I found something almost as good. Funny or Die has published new speeches by President Camacho.

Please be warned, these are not safe for work – they contain profanity… and a little insanity.

http://www.funnyordie.com/embed/23018ada16

Welcome to Costco. I love you.

Miss August is a hottie out to save the world. She stands for what’s right and isn’t afraid to kick a little ass—even if she isn’t wearing pants. Demons don’t scare her, nor does darkness nor mortal danger. All she wants is to save a child from the minions of hell and have peace on earth. Nothing can stop her… save for being tied up in toilet paper.

She is…

…Kee Nang from The Golden Child!

Miss August’s turn-ons include goofy men who like kids and not getting killed. Her turn-offs include kid-snatchers, demons who can’t pronounce the letter “j,” and toilet paper.

Here’s a video of a pantsless Miss August in action:

But hey, at least I won’t have an excuse.

And with that, welcome back to the Science Fiction & Fantasy Pinups, the monthly segment that’s almost always on time. Once a month we comb through the list of hotties and naughties and hard-rock bodies to crown the cream of the crop. But of course, it’s the sci-fi pinups, so they’re not exactly your momma’s Chippendales or your papa’s Playboy Playmates.

They’d be green-skinned Chippendales. With tentacles and laser beam eyes. And that would be hot. And the sci-fi version of Playboy Playmates would be whatever Captain Kirk takes his shirt off for.

Which is everything with legs.

So let’s get to it and announce our winners for July!

Mr. July is a sales clerk at a sporting goods store by day, and a jump-starter of evil undead apocalypses by night. He’s an experienced time traveler, renaissance man, and a total lady killer.

As long as that lady is the rotting undead spawn of hell and trying to rip off his face. Otherwise, he’s slightly awkward with the female gender.

Mr. July is…

…Ash Williams from The Evil Dead!

Mr. July’s turn-ons include great values on home goods, his Boomstick, chainsaw hands, and hot women who first want to kill him and later want to kiss him. Turn-offs include his evil doppelganger, the undead, and memorization.

If you head out on the town with Mr. July, just remember: Klaatu Verata Nicto. You just might need it.

Here’s a clip of Mr. July not remembering the words and subsequently summoning the apocalypse, in the form of an evil undead army:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xAGIqVzu6k&w=420&h=315]

Hail to the king, baby.

Miss July may be a beauty for hire, but there’s no question that she’s her own woman. She’s smart, cultured, sharp-tongued, and knows how to be your perfect companion. This stunning beauty spends her time wandering the ‘verse with her rag-tag group of felony friends, seeing the sights, visiting her clients, and meeting interesting criminals. But don’t be fooled by her high manners and feminine wiles. She’ll cut you down to size with a pistol or one of her biting one-liners.

She is…

…Inara Serra from Firefly!

Miss July’s turn-ons include respect, honor, and ruggedly handsome spaceship captains who hide their feelings with biting one-liners. Her turn-offs include ruggedly handsome spaceship captains who hide their feelings with biting one-liners.

Now, I went looking for a great Inara video but couldn’t find much. People seem to be more interested in making fan tribute videos with crappy, sappy music behind them. I’ll make up for it by giving you guys another picture of our favorite companion.

And, of course, last month I promised I’d find some pinups swag for our gentlemen readers. And it just so happens that there’s some cool Firefly stuff out there. Think Geek has awesome posters of the Serenity women. Also, I found a pretty sweet peg doll set of the Firefly crew, lavender vanilla flavored Inara lip balm, a super groovy Inara t-shirt, and a funny t-shirt.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for next week when we continue THE CURE, our Choose Your Own Adventure-style series where you vote for the next step in the story. Subscribe to the RSS feed in the sidebar, or follow me on Facebook or Twitter.

In related news, I don’t know how to read a calendar.

And just to remind you, I’m doing a Q&A! Ask me anything you want to know about my comedy urban fantasy series, future book projects, personal things about myself, writing, my cat, general advice… whatever. I’m answering any and all questions unless they’re spoilers of the next Kari Hunter book. Just post them in the comment section below last week’s post, Tweet me, post it on my Facebook page, or send me a note through my contact box in the sidebar.

I couldn’t resist some early questions on Twitter.

Someone even asked me for dinner recommendations! You better believe I delivered.

Questions are due to me by July 5 and the Q&A list will be posted here on the site July 8. So ask away!

Alright now, let’s get down to brass tacks. You came here for hunks and hotties and that’s what you’re going to get!

In case this is your first time joining us for the Sci-Fi Pinups, this is the monthly segment that’s actually monthly when I’m not calendar-inept, and we feature science fiction and fantasy babes that normally don’t get the recognition they deserve. As with all leading ladies and gents, remember—they’re too hot to handle, so look but don’t touch.

Because licking your computer monitor is nasty. Seriously, when was the last time you wiped this off?

And now say hello to our pinups!

Mr. June comes from outer space in the far, far future… where, apparently, they’ve lost the technology to create hair gel. He’s the product of a long breeding program which makes him the sexiest guy on his planet and is the envy of levitating, skin-fungus-plagued rulers everywhere. Mr. June is virile. He’s rich. He’s psychotic. He likes to be shirtless. He’s also royalty, which puts him in control of many things. Just not the spice.

He is…

Feyd-Rautha from Dune!

Mr. June’s turn-ons include metal underpants, going shirtless, and the spice. Turn-offs are House Atreides, the Kwisatz Haderach, and pants.

Here’s a little fan-made video of Feyd. It cracked me up so I must include it:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfWfd3RgN6Y?rel=0&w=480&h=360]

Should you take Mr. June out for a night on the town, bring a hat. Seriously. Dat hair.

And now for our leading lady!

I hope you can keep up with Miss June because she’s got legs and she knows how to use ’em. As a full-time professional competitive eater and part-time ghost hunter, she’s always on the go, never stopping. And I mean that quite literally. She never stops. Though she’s running her legs and her mouth 24/7, she always looks fine in the big red bow atop her bald head and matching red lipstick. What a lady! She is…

…Ms. Pac-Man from… You know what? If you don’t know who Ms. Pac-Man is, you’ve been living under a rock. She’s awesome. That’s who she is.

Miss June’s turn-ons include cherries, strawberries, oranges, pretzels, apples, pears, and bananas. Turn-offs are the nights Pac-Man won’t take her dancing.

Miss June isn’t really a movie star, so I’m giving you something better than a clip:

Ms. Pac-Man swag!

Atari has a few vintage t-shirts left, if anyone’s interested. Large only. Ah, nostalgia on a lovely sheet of cotton. I like this one, just for its authenticity. Straight from the makers themselves. Get this today before it ends up with the E.T. cartridges.

This awesome t-shirt is available through RedBubble.com. It comes in a bunch of colors and styles, including girly fit and regular/men’s. I’m becoming a big hoarder of geek t-shirts and I would absolutely wear this.

Holy crap! For you parents out there, Etsy seller NaptimeInspirations put this adorable applique on a onesie!

Does anyone out there have a kid? Because I will buy this for your mini-geek. It’s that adorable.

There are also a bunch of other Ms. Pac-Man items on Etsy if anyone’s interested, including a cool glass ghost bead necklace, an adorable skirt (I’m not sure I’m brave enough to wear it, but it’s super cute), cupcake toppers, a rad wristlet keychain (yeah, I said “rad”—we’re talking about the 80’s, right?), hand-painted high heels, and more.

I wish there was more swag for you cool dudes out there, but we’re talking about wearing the emblem of a big yellow chick with a bright red bow on her bald noggin. Next month, I’ll offer up some macho swag just for you. I promise.

And in case you’re wondering, no one is paying me to promote their Ms. Pac-Man swag. I just thought it was a fun idea.

If you had a good time with today’s post and want more laughs, pick up my debut novel, THE FOURTH CHANNEL, about a comically bad necromancer and her talking sacrificial knives. Both ebook and paperback are available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Seriously. This series is your geek-crack and I am proud to be your geek-crack dealer.

If you’re unfamiliar with this series, it’s the monthly segment where we pull out the heroes and hotties who exhibit the qualities we love in science fiction—like someone with three mutant breasts or a guy who drives a talking car while wearing a speedo or a superhero with a super suit that no one knows how to use. To catch up on previous pinups, check out the link in the sidebar.

Miss April’s a stunner, and I’m not just talking about her right hook. She has long dark hair, dark eyes, and an amazing body that she keeps in shape through rigorous exercises that mainly consist of beating the crap out of people. Though she looks human on the outside, she’s one hundred percent hot alien babe on the inside. When Miss April isn’t roaming around the galaxy with her motley band of escaped convicts, she can be found planetside, beating the crap out of people or torturing them with her biting sarcasm.

She is…

…Aeryn Sun of Farscape!

Miss April enjoys hand-to-hand combat, large weapons, small weapons, medium-sized weapons, leading the charge, and saving the day. If you want to take Miss April out on the town, bring your flak jacket and a few grenades. She loves grenades.

I had a hard time finding good video clips of Miss April; most of what’s available shows goofy lovey-dovey moments and, since we aren’t interested in those, how about a neat fan tribute video?

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYxlKJUwQUw?rel=0&w=640&h=360]

I had actually never watched Farscape until it was suggested to me in the comments of a previous pinup. Great show. Super fun. Thanks for the suggestion, Candice Bundy!

Mr. April roams around the medieval countryside as a gigantic, lovable mercenary for hire. He’s big. He’s bold. He could crush you with one hand—and he doesn’t even exercise. He’s the friend who will always stand by your side, ready to dunk you in a water barrel to sober you up. When he isn’t working for evil geniuses or carrying around people who are mostly dead, he’s hard at work on his mad rhymes. He is…

…Fezzik from The Princess Bride!

Mr. April enjoys jogging your mind, sportsmanlike conduct, and storming the castle. If you take him out on the town for a hot date, uh… I don’t know. This guy’s just totally lovable. Seriously. Be happy he’s one of the good guys.

And now for some of his lyrical stylings:

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP5-qJSzDUg?rel=0&w=640&h=360]

Thanks to Angie Wilt for suggesting this month’s Mr. April!
