Okay, I would attribute this to snark by Beauchamp, but Scott Beauchamp used photos from a friend to document a trip to Wurzberg in the previous post.
My camera isnt internet ready yet, but thankfully other peoples are. These are pics from Wurzberg, the city to the south that I like much better than pig ford (Schweinfurt).
Now see this from GMRoper. If what he claims is true, Beauchamp may have been making things up in his real life. This blog comment on the very next post suggests he was telling his brother about a "German Vixen" he may have never even met. See GM for the connection.
You sonofabitch! my balls have shriveled and my manhood now dangles like old fruit...but still tastes just as sour as it ever did. I want to hear more about this german vixen that has captured the poland that is my brother
I wonder if Scott has a brother. If, so, does he have two, and one of them had already been to Iraq/Afghanistan? Hmmmm.

Dan, did you know about Scott's secret team blog with his roommate Glenn Rehn? I haven't seen any blogs mention it at all, which is weird. It was at
http://blogisborn.blogspot.com/
But it's been "hidden" now, which is a shame, because there are a lot of revealing details in that blog. (A big gay photo of Scotty and Glenn embracing too.)
There were nine posts, all from June 2007.
Did someone say Google Cache? Heh.

One nice quote, from Glenn:
Point is, there was a lot of distrust between Scott and I at the beginning but we worked together for the common goal of passing Amendment 2: the Traditional Heterosexual Stability Marriage Patriot Amendment to Authorize Force in Iraq. Though at the time many in the LGBT community and others with a sophomore college level understanding of morality and sociology were disappointed by the mass appeal of denying same sex couples the right to grow distant and hate each other, it turned out being the best thing for Scott and I. Without a same sex marriage to fall back on, he was forced to join the army and remained single in time to propose to fifteen different girls while in basic training, one of whom ended up marrying him in the most avant garde version of a shotgun wedding that Fairfax County, Virginia has ever seen.

Riehl,
I do have an idea who the "German Vixen" is however.

By the way, this is the original site where that image comes from.

Even though "Courtland" calls Beauchamp "brother," I do not believe they are biological brothers. In the same comment, Courtland says, "my mom is encouraging me to be a writer..."
When I talk to my brothers, and refer to our mother, I do not call her "my mom." I say "our mom," or simply "Mom."
The lads may be using "brother" in an other-than-literal sense. Or, it is possible that Courtland and Beauchamp are half-brohers, with the same father but different mothers. (Beauchamp's mother's name, by the way, is Mary Garrett.)

Damn link of that blog to Courtlands' blog http://phantomyouth.blogspot.com/
and you see disturbed words put together with the only common tie being drugs of whatever kind.
A real bunch of noskid looser kids here taking up airspace.

Sean
I double down on your analysis, you have it right.

When looking at Scott you have to reach around the corner to his one step away friends and see what kind of environment he raised himself in.
These people are all in their early 20s and total losers chucking words at the world as an act of revenge and their own self justification.
Heck by then I had earned my first million and lost the same the next year through overconfident extremism believing myself infallible.
But those things make you learn..........REAL QUICK

But hey that was 45 or 50 years ago when a million bucks meant something.

I'd agree with that. And I also can see how a guy tells another guy he's hooked up when he isn't. But - if you start posting pics and stuff that aren't legit to back it up - IF that's the case, the dude has issues.

The joint blog mentioned above is quite interesting. I'm assuming the poster bigemptysky is Mr. Beauchamp.
From the cached post on June 7, 2007, Woke Up with a Whaleheart On, there's this "(me, Scott Beauchamp, self-obsessed, creatively sadistic, having unprotected sex with native americans)."
And from June 8, 2007, All my Friends are Dead,
"andrew: can i say something
me: what?
3:02 AM andrew: you were the first guy i knew to be anti war, the only guy i know to go fight in it, and the most anti-war guy i know thats bizarre."
....he's 23 and a bullshitter extraordinaire. His game is up.
They published him because they thought his writing was edgy. Suckers.

at least that other pseudomilitary serial liar, jessie mcbeath ("former army ranger!") waited until he was out of the service before he dished up his 'atrocities' whoppers.
poor stupid 'edgy' beauchamp is still in the service, and subject to the tender mercies of the UCMJ. even better, he gets to keep working with all the guys in his unit he slandered. pissed-off, heavily-armed, and all insisting that he - beauchamp - take point on patrols. all those lovely weapons, pointing at beauchamp's nuts.
heh.
