Jackhammer's Best Friend


Friends, Jackhammer is about to embark on his annual vacation. My loyal followers know that Jackhammer routinely visits Sanibel Island, Florida… but it is time to switch things up! This year Jackhammer will vacation in Bermuda, which brings us to the subject of this post.

As a British Crown colony, Bermuda is gripped with the same anti-gun hysteria that has engulfed England for centuries. Even if you can get past the Homeland Security agents at your local airport, who are so paranoid they will not allow you to pass through their gates with a two-inch Leatherman micro-tool, the Bermudian prohibitions against anything that could theoretically be used for self-defense are so formidable that even your “stabby kitty” keychain must remain stateside.

So will Jackhammer be defenseless on his vacation? Not exactly. You see, Jackhammer has mastered the art of unarmed combat – and he encourages all his readers to do the same while there is still time. Jackhammer’s Kung Fu is his best friend… it is always with him, and nobody can ever take it away. I will walk past the Homeland Security agents at the airport with a smug, shit-eating grin on my face, secure in the knowledge that my hands, feet, knees, and elbows are far deadlier than any firearm… at least within 12 feet or less. My most potent and lethal weapons will always be handy.

Faithful readers, sometimes your bare hands are all you have! It is impossible to remain properly armed at all times. Do you carry your AK-47 into the shower with you? At some point you will almost certainly be required to defend yourself without a weapon… hence the word karate literally means “empty hand.” Did you party too hard in Tijuana? If that’s the case, your skills at unarmed combat may be the only thing preventing you from becoming the next Punk Ass Bitch of the Mexican prison yard.

Jackhammer strongly encourages all his followers to turn their bodies into living weapons that nobody can ever take away from you. I’m not talking about some yuppie Tae Kwon Do Academy where you’re expected to bow to ten-year-old “black belts” who couldn’t fight their way out of a wet paper bag. None of that crap is going to help you in a real-world situation. If you don’t believe me, try throwing a flying roundhouse kick inside a crowded bar. That didn’t work? Sweep the leg, Johnny! No luck? I’m sorry 95% of all street fighters end up grappling on the ground… that’s just reality.



So forget all about those strip mall dojos. Trust me, you need to seek out military training from hardcore instructors who understand that you will be fighting for your life. Their only rule for unarmed combat should be “there are no fucking rules.” If your instructor adds any rules of engagement beyond that, then he is not a warrior and you must seek another trainer. Yes, you will have to steel yourself, mentally and physically. Are you willing to grab another man’s scrotum with your bare hand and crush his testicles into jelly? Are you willing to ram your thumbs through another man’s eye socket and twist them around inside his brain cavity? How bad do you want to survive?


Even with total dedication and unbending intent, it will take you several months of training to reach a minimal level of proficiency… so get started now. Remember, at the time of this writing the apocalypse is only six months away, so prepare for Thunderdome! Cover all your bases – and make a new best friend!

The Young and the Restless


The time has come for Jackhammer to throw a bone to the fans of daytime drama.

More specifically, Jackhammer has decided that henceforth he will be posting commentary and in-depth analysis of the Young and the Restless on the following site: http://www.cbs.com/shows/the_young_and_the_restless

I have decided to make this move in response to popular demand, and this is proof that I do appreciate and consider all the feedback I receive from my fans. You see, Jackhammer knew that many of you depended upon my wisdom to help you navigate through life… yet thanks to your letters, I have come to see that you would appreciate my guidance with the popular daytime drama as well.

I understand your confusion with the show. The Young and the Restless features multiple plot strands running concurrently, as well as a cast of 50+ complex characters – many of whom rotate in and out in (apparently) random order. Additionally, the social nuances of the diverse social and economic classes… the long and sorted histories of the characters… the intricate web of betrayal, deceit, and deception… it is perfectly understandable why you would want my help with this.

Jackhammer will therefore make all things clear to you, including these burning questions:

• Will Victor and Nikki ever reconcile? Hint: Jack and Kyle will not be a consideration!

• What are the implications of Phyllis telling Michael that she threatened her former psychologist? Hint: Unlike Heather, Michael’s new appointment has already put him on a power trip!

• Can Catherine convince Ashley to give Tucker another chance? Hint: Genevieve is a bigger factor than Catherine realizes!

• Will Neil be able to score with Harmony? Hint: Neil doesn’t know it yet, but he will have to compete with Sarge to win her heart!

• How come the marriage between Kevin and Chloe will never last? Hint: It doesn’t have anything to do with Angelina and Carmine!

• What is Ricky is planning to do to Daisy and Tim before he writes his tell-all book? Hint: Once again, Daniel won’t be able to save the day!

• Why Lauren is going to end up with Paul. Hint: Who makes her feel safe, and who makes her feel like she’s in even greater danger?

• Why Billy is going to get what’s coming to him – and lose little Johnny in the process. Hint: Victoria is acting more and more like her father’s daughter!

• Best of all, I will explain why Adam and Chelsea are the show’s real perfect couple!

I know this has whetted your appetite in a big way… so visit link above on a regular basis to read Jackhammer’s commentary! If you have any specific questions you would like me to address, please submit them to me and I will prioritize them by the number of submissions and respond to them as soon as I can. Enjoy!
