About the Authors

Mark G.

With a steely gaze and a hard-hitting yet graceful style, Mark enters the Pop Culture Kung Fu arena.  Raised in a Shaolin monastery in the heart of San Jose, California, he first honed his skills by reciting the plots of Brady Bunch episodes while sitting in the lotus position under a torrential waterfall.  At the age of thirteen, he snatched a pebble from his master's hand while quoting the entirety of Schwarzenegger's dialogue from Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja.  His special techniques include the devastating "80's Genre Flurry Mongoose Strike," crippling his opponent with references from science fiction and fantasy from the greed decade, and the horrifying "Geek Lotus," which is illegal in 30 of the 50 states.  He fights under the name "The Nimble Moose"
