Attention fly fishing blog community…you all suck. February 1, 2012
Well either I have a bur up my ass or this North Peak Vicious is just making me feel a bit frisky, but this post “Dear Fellow Fly Fishing Blog Writers” by Alex Kain sort of has stuck with me all day and I just can’t seem to let it go. I know it’s exactly what he wants, and your welcome for the link back AK.
But just to “put it all out there”. Here is our letter to the editor.
Dear AK,
We will spend the next few days reading every post you have ever written in all of your many blogs. If after that time we wish we had your life, we will drive our sorry asses to MI and personally kiss your ass. If we don’t wish we were you after reading your dribble? Well, we get to decide that outcome as well. Maybe we all get in a boat and just go fishing. As for now, focus on the fishing, we hear shit is real tight up there right now and isn’t that what all this is about anyway?
If entertainment is what you’re after, maybe you’re barking up the wrong tree. Try internet porn. We hear there is some really good stuff out there these days. Surely you can find a site that’ll suit YOUR needs.
Hatchless Disclaimer – we don’t expect anyone to read our blog because we already know it sucks. We just like to hear ourselves talk. Tight lines and shit.
Well?
Sorry dude. I must have crashed about 3/4 of the way through the third post. I guess we won’t be needing your address. If you do find a couple of blogs out there that blow your mind please pass them along. We’ll return the favor and send you some good smut.
I gotta tell you I’m a little confused. The link in the article goes to a ‘ooops’ page and so does (basically) the link “Alex” above in the comments. Is the article still out there somewhere because I mean…I’m pretty desperate to hear how much I suck and all that. I haven’t had a good controversy in at least a week, see? Surely one thoughtless post didn’t crash a whole blog? ( Or did it?)
Nevermind, I found a cached copy. I find it kind of amusing and (to Mr. Alex’s great joy I suppose) highly entertaining that a blog post giving advice about “putting it all out there” and how you shouldn’t be PC anymore is suddenly (a few days after it’s creation apparently) taken down?! I didn’t really think it was that sassy an opinion, personally. But I do think that perhaps he has the reasoning reversed. I’d be willing to bet that most of the problem Mr. Alex is having with fly fishing blogs is burn-out, not uninteresting writing.
But then, what do I know. My blog sucks.
WTF…more blogfail from Mr. Alex. Go figure. Thanks for reading man.
alex kain is fuckin boring.
