About The Authors

Meet the crack Florilegium Suburbanum writing team!


FS is a vague and shadowy figure.  He was born in the United States of America and will probably stick with that.  His hobbies include not having enough time to watch baseball and not having enough time to read. 

He has a long-suffering wife and two children.


Buzz is one of the top legal minds handling the cutting-edge area of rural Pennsylvania chicken farm zoning law.  He has had an elderly Amish man jailed, but tried not to take an unseemly amount of pleasure in it.  His lifetime awards include

  • Second team All-Mainline Newspaper football team [1988]
  • Third place, After Dinner Speaking, Bloomsburg University [1992]

He has a long-suffering wife and two children.


Prurient Interest has vagina dentata and the will to use it. Also? A fantastic, bouncy rack.  At the time of this writing, she reports that she had a panini for breakfast and it was jooooooood. 

She blogs here whenever she is not at one of the dozens of other blogs she has started and quickly abandoned.

She has a long-suffering husband and two children.


Yum and Erno Bowling don't get quasi-witty writeups because they never sent in anything.
