First! and I mean this sincerely, go to www.BigShotsNow.com.
That’s when you’re done here of course. It’s important. There is really cool stuff there. If you don’t you’re going to miss a look at the American way of life that is different from any other you’ve seen.
To those of you new to this site, OpenChutes is an spin-off from www.BigShotsNow.com, a blog site that has been in a constant state of publishing, for it seems like a hundred years now, but actually it’s only been three years or so. In internet years though that’s like a hundred years. Right now there are nearly 900 different posts on every subject you can imagine. Some of them are even true. They range from topics like Interesting Bird Facts For You And Me to an article about how to get rid of pesky bears..
To those of you to whom humor is a foreign concept or you’re just plain feeling peckish, and simply don’t want to Have A Nice Day there are serious stories too. Stone Woman Walking is one, Long Way To The Bus is a another.
The blog is completely riddled with references to The Institute which is a real fictional Institute and acts according. The Institute is set in a real time environment which allows it to react to the problems, news events, scientific catastrophes and any other completely feasible sounding situations we are exposed to today. Since we have the total ability to confront these situations in a patented impossible way, we can perform the miracles that only The Institute can pull off. You’ll have to see for yourself. It quite simply is the GrandMother of all blog sites. But don’t come whining to us if you have too much fun. We warned you.
