MATT HARVEY – Editor
Matt proudly serves as Editor of MyHyena.com, as part
of an arrangement he has worked out to “repay his debt to society”,
as they say in the industry. Matt has direct writing experience working
in
the Exotics department of a well-known greeting card company, where
he developed cards for the specific “Backwoods Hillbilly” and “Washed-up
Celebrity” markets. He is an award-winning screenwriter and frequent
contributor to such diverse periodicals as Modern Whale Harpooner and
the well-regarded Amish Tango Dancer Monthly. Matt’s interests
include a love of classic films and listening to the sound of his own
voice.
MARK HARVEY – Staff Writer
After a short lived career in the Merchant Marine, aboard
the SS Sake Bomb (where he set the single season record for flogging),
Mark embarked
on a exciting career as a feared and effective pirate, sailing the
Seven Seas. However, he realized that no matter how successful one
may be in this field, a pirate’s retirement plan eventually results
in hanging. Mark jumped ship near the shores of Bangkok and now runs
My Hyena’s Southeast Asian bureau with an iron fist. Mark’s
hobbies include treasure and booty hunting and chasing the dragon.
DAVE LEON – Staff Writer
Dave, a kindergarten dropout, moved to Skull Island
and became a personal assistant to King Kong, warning him of impending
attacks from the island's
natives and telling him where to find the white women. After his return
to the United States (he was taking a nap in Kong's fur when the big
ape was captured), he spent some time traveling around the U.S. before
finally settling in a home near Lake Titicaca (just because he liked
the name). He has since set up shop in Newfoundland where he runs the
My Hyena "Newfie" Bureau. In his spare time, he writes music.
His most recent hit was a song he wrote for Britney Spears about his
travels entitled "I'm Not an Icelander, Not Yet a Canadian." There
are reports that the little floozy changed the title of the song, but
as of yet, there has been no confirmation.
When visiting from Newfoundland, Dave spends time with his wife Jen
and their pets Albert, Chip, Bogart and Gunther in San Jose, California.
CHRIS PISCITELLI – Staff Writer
Chris was formed from a strange glowing substance
which fell to Earth over a thousand years ago. Immortal, immoral, and
nigh invulnerable to
physical and psychological attack, he whiles away the millennia eating
jelly beans, committing mail fraud and master-minding subtle acts of
sabotage on the hospitality, food service and customer service industries
through the cunning use of a trained army of Alabama Farting Pigeons.
As a front for his nefarious and unseemly acts, he is married to a school
teacher, works a crappy office job in the bowels of Silicon Valley, owns
real estate, and constantly cleans up after a cat and dog of roughly
the same size which evacuate their bodily contents from ever possible
orifice onto every possible surface on an abnormally regular basis.
He is the My Hyena Bureau Chief for Insignificant European Countries,
and keeps offices in Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco,
San Marino, and the atheist sector of Vatican City.
BRIAN BULLOCK – Staff Writer
Several years ago, Brian fell through a wormhole that
opened up in his
Laz-e-Boy recliner,
ending roughly 12,000 years in the past. It was an age of
shining kingdoms, and Brian took the opportunity to indulge in pastimes
typically
frowned upon in the modern era: thieving, wenching, frequenting grog
houses, and
treading the jewled thrones of the earth under his sandaled feet.
After a few years spent terrorizing the past he seized the throne of
a king he had
recently beheaded. As Brian was about to sit down and bask in the adulation
of his new subjects, another wormhole openened in his throne and he
ended up in his own time face down in a mud puddle, which is hell to get
out of a fur loincloth.
In lieu of a kingdom, Brian took control of the Hyena Midwest Bureau.
He spends his
time amassing comic books and leaping headfirst into any recliner he
sees.
