Well, let me tell ya ’bout this fella, Anton Strok. Sounds like a name you’d hear down at the feed store, don’t it? But this Anton, he ain’t no farmer, that’s for sure. From what I gather, there’s a few fellas with that name, or somethin’ close to it, floatin’ around.
One of ’em, this Anton Strok, seems to be a hockey player. Yep, ice hockey. Don’t know nothin’ ’bout that myself, seems too cold for my old bones. This website, Eliteprospects they call it, says he was born in ’89, in some place called Mytishchi. Sounds foreign, don’t it? Probably one of them fancy European cities. They got all his hockey stats and stuff, but I wouldn’t know a puck from a potato, so it’s all Greek to me. Hockey player, this Anton Strok, imagine that!
Then there’s another Anton Strok, or maybe it’s the same one, who’s into them fightin’ games. MMA, they call it. Tapology, that’s the website where I saw it, says he’s from Ukraine. Fought some fella named Lobanov back in 2017. Lost, I think. Tough business, that fightin’. All that punchin’ and kickin’, not for the faint of heart. They got pictures of him and everything. Looks tough, this Anton. MMA fighter, that’s what he is, or was.

Now, there’s another fella, name’s Anton Strout, with a “t” at the end. Close enough, I reckon. This one, he wrote books. Urban fantasy, whatever that means. City magic, maybe? Born in 1970, passed away in 2020, poor soul. Seems like a different kind of fella altogether. Not much fightin’ or hockey in writin’ books, I’d say. A writer, this Anton Strout, imagine that.
And then there’s this Anton Strok, who seems to be all over the internet. Sherdog, they call it, another fightin’ website, says he’s a pro fighter, but ain’t won much. Lost two fights, they say. They got all sorts of stats on him too, but like I said, numbers ain’t my strong suit. They even got somethin’ called “profile analytics,” but that sounds like somethin’ for city folks with their fancy degrees. Another fighter, it seems, or maybe the same one, who knows? These youngsters get around.
And just when you think you got it all figured out, there’s somethin’ called Anton syndrome. Nothin’ to do with hockey or fightin’, mind you. It’s a sickness, somethin’ about not seein’ right. Anton-Babinski syndrome, they also call it. Sounds scary. See, that’s what happens when you go pokin’ around on this here internet. You start lookin’ for one thing, and you end up findin’ all sorts of stuff you didn’t even know existed. A sickness, this Anton syndrome, not a person at all.
So, there you have it. Anton Strok, or Strout, or somethin’ like it. Could be a hockey player, could be a fighter, could be a writer, could be a sickness. Or maybe they’re all different fellas, who knows? This world’s a big place, and there’s all sorts of people and things in it. Makes an old woman’s head spin, it does. But that’s life, ain’t it? Full of surprises. You just never know what you’re gonna find, especially when you start snoopin’ around on that there internet. Many faces, many names, this Anton, whoever he may be.
