Prelude: MM E:I (Mighty Muskrat episode roman numeral one) *****

What follows is a tale of daring; a nonfictional, auto-biographical, exhilarating tale of intensity. A rousing plot with new, unexpected entanglements around every corner will leave my esteemed reader begging for more, holding his breath at the end of every episode. I know what some of you are thinking; this is extremely dangerous. Well, I assure you, it is strictly metaphorical, and I suspect nobody will suffocate themselves because of a gripping conclusion to a Mighty Muskrat episode. However, if it is an especially tragic episode, anybody within the reader's violently melancholic path should consult "Enter the Dragon", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Dragon's Bane", "Rush Hour", or any other movie which features a martial artist or the word 'Dragon' in its title, for tips on self-defense. However, barring time restraints, the best advice might be to run.
Excessive cliche's and my thesaurus aside, this blog is unlike any blog in the history of blogs. For instance, I will make an effort to refer to it with its original, more proper title: "web log". In addition, this blog, or rather, web log, will include very minimal entries based on my opinion on things, my feelings about life, or my meditations on life. The reasoning behind this is that you, the reader, still have the benefit of a face-to-face conversation with me, and while scholars may be frustrated with the lack of literature based on these things after my death, I hope that this rule will benefit my real-time social life.
Instead, this web log will include different episodes in the folklore behind the infamous super hero extroardinare, Mighty Muskrat. His story will hopefully inspire those without hope, those whose life is on the brink of disaster, those in Dire Straits (hopefully all four members), and those doing a blog search for poodles, since that is one of the tags for this web log.
What you can expect as a reader and non-contributer is a dose of entertainment to start your week, intense character development, and a star rating out of five in the title of each entry, so that you can distinguish a good episode from a bad one.

Of course, there is much more to come, but instead of waiting by your computer for the next week getting your sustenance from an IV machine, I encourage you to continue in daily activities, and conduct yourself with a level of patience and self-control. See Galatians 5 for more instructions.

Enjoy!
