About

BunkoSquad began in the summer of 1998. It was a magical time. The Internet hadn’t been completely malled out yet. The World Cup in France thrilled millions of people I never hope to meet. And domestication of the dog continued unabated. Originally meant as a place to collect writings I’ve done, reviews of ballparks, and weird quirky stuff, it has evolved into…well, that’s still what it is, basically.

BunkoSquad is written and maintained by Michael Femia. I couldn’t really think of a way to tell you more about me without sounding like an oversharing self-obsessed narcissist, so I settled on ripping off the "About Each Survivor" section from the web site of the popular TV show. Ahem.
