Mike Carden

A founding member and guitarist of the greatest band on Earth, The Academy Is....

He currently provides the rhythm guitar to Michael Guy Chislett's lead guitar. He also sings backup vocals on two of TAI's songs: he sings "intoxicated circulation" on "Neighbors" and miscellaneous backups on "Slow Down."

He and William Beckett had once been cross-town rivals in the Chicago underground scene, but they eventually befriended each other at local concerts and started up TAI in 2002. This is also known as a fairytale come true.

Mike is known for his classic, half-smiling/open-mouthed shredding faces onstage, where he always stands on the far right side (on William's left).

The one word that can most accurately describe Mike is cute, because that's what he is.

However, Mike was not cute in the evil clown costume that he sported on Halloween, in 2007. He was terrifying then.

Pretty much everyone loves Mike. He's just a likeable guy, who for some reason seems to never know precisely what's going on.

For more information, check out Jack the Camera Guy's episode(s) of TAI TV "The Chronicles of Mike Carden." Jack made a pie chart.
Jack: So, you're saying you're kinda like the fluff on top of, uh, yams on Thanksgiving dinner?

Mike Carden: Yeah, when you eat it with all your friends.... It's tasty.

French Credit Card

When someone swipes their fingers between an ass and then smells them to see if it stinks.
Mother: Little Sebastien, did you control your ass in the shower?
Little Sebastian: Oui Mama.
Mother: Bastard child! I should've dug you out with a coat hanger. I'll use my French credit card to see if you are lying.
(Mother swipes fingers in Little Seb's ass)
Mother: Stink of the ass! I knew it. It smells like the cheese we eat when we surrender to the Germans.

The Game (card version)

The Game is an invented game which is related to Magic the Gathering. The concept is that a player may use any creatures from any universe (comics, movies, mythology, etc.) and match them up against his opponents, the results of which are then debated. Creating a deck and playing The Game is a complex process, but the idea is simply to foster epic arguments
Carter and I were playing The Game (card version). He had no chance after my Gandalf ripped apart his Dumbledore

N.B. you don't call it The Game (card version). You call it The Game. urbandictionary required me to write it that way
