Introduction "I have always felt an odd sort of kinship with Hella Frisch Man, that strong, silent, yet occasionally effervescent superhero," writes Matt Heller in explaining why he named this blog after a German bottled water company mascot. MH is a double bassist with the Calgary Philharmonic. Hella Frisch Man was abandoned as a corporate mascot and is now defunct.

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?

It could be, but it's actually just a morbidly obese plankton.
