Boldly developed and nurtured from five years of strenuous research around the globe, timeless proverbs have been developed from the styles, methods and mouths of numerous people that can be called Bashers. Enlightenment and a lifetime of glory are what await revelers in "The Art of Bashing." With virtue on short supply and chivalry at an all-time low, navigating your way through life with unmatched confidence and fortitude can be a daunting process. Unworthy assumptions are on the rise, and the key to avoiding many of the contrivances that emerge from sociological differences is by utilizing superior etiquette and peerless human interactive skills. The tendentious environment of our surroundings can strike crippling fear in most, so one must become empowered over the barbarism and overwrought lack of respect that frequently passes off as "acceptable behavior." Old thought and illogical ideas can be easily jettisoned by the vividly demonstrated Way of the Bash. Bristling with sharp humor and unrivaled clarity, obstacles will be pushed away while misanthropes are vanquished forever. Become a Basher... become a Legend.
