What I love the most about this phenomenon, is that the story is actually quite good, and is fairly typical of Josh's backstories, of which I've seen quite a few, having run Josh a number of times in a variety of settings and systems. It is, however, VERY long, and while interesting and well thought out, kind of does it's own "wall of text attack". I have copied it into a number of places that it doesn't belong, and created four different wav files of my computer reading it out loud, in four different voices/accents, and could do one or two more should the mood strike me. It would probably be worth it to mix up the different voices during the reading, changing with dialog or subjects as the passage progresses.

You know what the best part is? I've never read it.
