Memos from Bear Cave. Inspired by the 1970s memos of perpeptually apoplectic Edward "Tiger Mike" Davis ("I am not fond of hippies, long-hairs, dope fiends, or alcoholics"), SomethingAwful writers created a series about the manliest CEO in the 1970s soup-manufacturing industry. While Tiger Mike is hard to top, the saga of JD Boruff, who swims in his own soup and monitors his employees' toilet flushes, takes on a strange and hilarious charm as its universe expands.

There are eighteen epistolary stories in the series to date, indexed below the fold.

1. Memos from Bear Cave
2. World of Corn
3. The '79 Houston Soup & Broth Expo
4. Blood, Sweat, and Soup
5. Heart Attack!
6. The Great Cholo Siege
7. Bathroom Crisis
8. Kid's Day Aftermath
9. Company Picnic Day
10. Employee Reviews
11. The Good Son
12. Man's Reach (Part 1)
13. Man's Reach (Part 2)
14. White Tiger
15. General Complaints
16. The Taste of Treachery
17. Broth of Woe
18. The Iran-Chowder Affair

I like Memos from Bear Cave, but my heart will always belong to Monstergeddon (previously).

Hilarious and terrifyingly real, I think I've worked for this fake soup CEO. . .

Anyway, this is worth it for referencing one of my favorite MeFi posts ever (by Felix) - the story of Tiger Mike Davis (who, ahem, as a 27 year old chauffeur married the 69 year old woman he drove around, which tickles me to no end): Grifters, Oil Men, Tabloids, The Scrappy Ingenue, The Titans and the Hardass: An American Story
