I Got My Ass Kicked by a Blogger
Seems as of late there’s been a lot of fighting going on in the blogosphere. Lately, everywhere I click I’m reading about the latest conquest, the latest victory and the poor sap blogger that fell prey. As a guy who normally advocates peace and non-confrontation, I had managed to avoid the skirmishes. Almost. Seems I was called out and now I, too have had my ass kicked by a blogger. Try and help a guy and he sucker punches you.
A few days ago, Whit had asked for some fodder in a tweet. If you have absolutely no idea what that may be then that last statement must sound pretty ridiculous. Actually, I know what it means and it sounds pretty ridiculous. Fodder by definition is something fed to domestic animals and following, by definition tweet is a chirping note. So I think Whit may have been asking for something to feed his goats and was willing to sing to get it. All I wanted to do was help. Actually, I just wanted him to stop singing–have you heard him?
So I offer and in return he elbows me to the back of the head. Nice. Whit! Now, I’m not a fighter, in fact, I do not recall ever having been in a fight. And I certainly would never knowingly pick a fight with anyone with ink. That’s just a given–you don’t fight an inked guy–those guys are bad ass!
Wait, I’ve got ink. But somehow I don’t think a tat of Mickey Mouse on my left buttock is ever going to qualify me as bad ass. Maybe dumb ass or pansy!
Well, I’m not the only victim to Whit’s spree. Seems he jacked up everyone that offered help. Matt from ChildsPlayx2, Brandon from Down With Pants, Mitch from Mitch McDad’s World. He even picked on a girl, Stefania from City Mamma. The guy is ruthless.
Then, as if the beating he inflicted on me wasn’t enough, he tossed a colorful band-aid at me and said, “Here. Go clean up and use this to cover your bruises.” See—
Uhm…wait a sec.
I don’t think that’s a band-aid. It’s an award. Aw, man. He gave me an award. I got an award!!
OK, all that stuff I just said about Whit–never mind.
(I think I’m supposed to kick some more asses but like I said–I’m a pretty staunch advocate of non-violence. If you are reading this–still–and would like the award yourself please consider yourself smacked down. I think there is a link to pick up the award for yourself if you click the award picture. Trust me, if you have ever made it to the bottom of one of my banal posts–you deserve an award!)
