Since I found out we were submitted for review at http://iwillfuckingtearyouapart.blogspot.com/ a day or so ago, I was a little apprehensive. Turns out the review was scathing on some points. I guess I never knew, Canadians just aren’t funny! I can now join the ranks non funny, short bus Canadians everywhere. With names like Jim Carrey, Lorne Michaels, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dave Foley, Samantha Bee, Norm Macdonald, Leslie Nielsen, Michael J. Fox, Tom Green and Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman and John Candy.
Yep, you sure got us on that one. Canadians just ain’t funny.
We might not be the same kind of Rednecks they were expecting, either. I summed up why I call myself one in the post Redneck, and Proud of it. I wish I was one of those rednecks that lives in a house trailer with his sister / wife and doesn’t know how to read. I’m not that lucky!
The end result is, it just don’t matter. I didn’t start this site to make everyone happy. I started it to make me happy. I am, too. I met people worldwide through comments and posts, I learned a whole slew of things about Wordpress and SEO. I taught a quick lesson on Squeezing Birds. I got to see Vic at Blogger Unleashed layin’ thuh boots to a couple make money wannabees. How much better can life get?
Although it would be nice if I could just Roll Up The Rim To Win a Bayliner Bowrider Boat already. Why are they holding out on me? It’s like some sort of coffee conspiracy.

Kind of funny mmm would be interesting to flag the blog as it has about 10 things against Blogger TOS and see what Blogger has to say about it.

HA! LOL
I know what you’re looking at I think , Vic. I’m not too worried about it really. I wasn’t looking for retribution, I was just subtly pointing out a blogger (meaning you)who might be found “layin’ thuh boots” to someone’s blog, but for a good reason instead of because their mommy didn’t love them enough. Long term, they gave me a bunch of links for free so I guess I win.

I’m glad someone else agrees that Jim Carrey, Lorne Michaels, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Dave Foley, Samantha Bee, Norm Macdonald, Leslie Nielsen, Michael J. Fox, Tom Green and Dan Aykroyd, Phil Hartman and John Candy are not funny.
Ok, maybe Michael J. Fox is a little funny, with that whole twitching thing he does.

I’m sorry but the bird squeezing post was fargin’ HILARIOUS.
I didn’t think the review was that bad really. I was expecting some serious nastiness, by the comment you left me.
And yeah- you’ll get a lot of traffic from them at least.

OH MY GOODNESS, TOS violations? What a whiney crybaby butt way to respond to a review that Ernie and/or Tim ASKED for.
I made the comment that their response to our review was manly, but apparently, their commenters are less so.

p.s. Vic, I just re-reviewed the Blogger TOS. We aren’t violating any of them, so threaten away.
Wanker.

Wow. So, you submit your blog to be reviewed. Ernie, you have seen the type of critiques that come from Ask. I don’t see where any part of my review of your blog could be construed as ’scathing’. In fact, I think I was rather fair. You should link the ‘Redneck And Proud Of It’ in your ‘Aboot’ section. But this crying about the ‘unfunny Canadians’ comment should stop. Also, threatening other bloggers is bad juju.
8 Micky // May 1, 2008 at 8:30 am
Wow.
Did you just compare yourself to professional millonaire comedians ?
Are you threatening us?
What are you gonna do ?
Beat us up ?
Why dont you guys actually engage in an issue that takes more than 3 brain cells to excecute and we might take you seriously

Love Bites and Keywork : Hey, slow down there!
I never threatened anyone.
I just thought it was funny (as in, I actually laughed) when it was pointed out in your comments that no Canadian was funny. I never said I was like those comedians or even close, I just pointed out that a good chunk of ‘American’ comedy is produced by Canadians, an indisputable fact.
It’s not your fault that Ernie blindsided me on this one either.
10 Micky // May 1, 2008 at 10:10 am
I dont slow down for shit.
Those comedians made their bankrolls here in America.
Which just goes further to prove the point that I dont think Canadians would know funny if it climbed up their ass and out their face and laughed in it.
But hey, its not all bad.
Thanks for the guys you sent to Afghanistan.
Rag heads could always use a good moose punch.
Cuz you guys fuckin know that if we go down, you’re next.
Well…
maybe Mexico, camels dont do well on ice.

Ya see guys, its like this.
Key gave you some attention. Although it might not of been the kind of attention you ,want its more attention than some of the better blogs out there get.
Over here at your site, you’re grumbling about the review.
But over at Keys site you’re bitching cuz we werent talking about you.
WTF?
And then you start talking smack about tattling to TOS.
Now.. I dont even know what those fuckin initials stand for, nor do I care.
But sheeez ! Count your blessings we werent really pissed at you.
The point is this.
We pick on everyone at Keys. And if get attention from us your likely to be linked to a lot of other sites that might give you guys some inclination as to what humour is and how to improve upon your own format.
Its just another example of the Amercan free market doing your ass a favor.
We attack everyone , we kill em or make them one of us, its the American way.
But since you’re kinda sorta like half American , you drive our cars and eat our foods and come here for holidays and fuck our men and women( or anything warm) we’re gonna cut you some slack.
Be thankful, join the gang and quitcherbitchin

Oh, Tim, I think you’re fairly manly. It was Vic’s (empty) threat to report us for TOS violations that I found pretty damn wankerish.
One thing I will say for the canucks…they aren’t very funny, but they are pretty masculine. Remind me to tell you sometime about my spring break back in 1987 and my French Canadian hook-up.

Wow. Micky kind of sucks. This whole thing seems to have gotten a little out of control. Why don’t we all calm down and gently squeeze some birds. I know I’d feel better.
Love the reviews at Ask. I submitted my blog a few weeks ago and am waiting with clenched fists and an upset stomach.

Like I give a fuck what you think.
I am here to support the Mr. keywork as the next president of our country and his son the new messiah.
He was cool enough to give these guys some exposure and since it wasnt a lollipop rim jobbing these assholes they went and got all pissy and whiney.
Any exposure is good.
You go squeeze your fuckin chickens.
My dad and I raised 2000 macaws and Id like to see you try that shit on a Hyacynth macaw with 800 lbs of pressure in his beak.
Chickens and ducks.
Fucking canadians man.

Hiya, Micky!
I’m pretty disappointed that you don’t, in fact, give a fuck what I think. I thought everyone on every single blog I’ve ever commented on gave a fuck what I thought. This is disturbing. What if I’ve been wrong about everyone, and NO ONE gives a fuck what I think? Can someone please, please tell me they give a fuck what I think so I can sleep tonight?
(goes off to squeeze a “fuckin” chicken and feels much better)

Allow me to weigh in on this whole thing (hopefully I will at least amuse myself). I’m not sure how much time you’ve spent here at The Redneck, Micky, but every Monday night we have a Bar-room Brawl. Thus far no one has “manned” up to be a contender for our singles championship; however I think you just might have the testicular fortitude to do the job. So, I’m going to go ahead and call it: Ladies and Gentlemen, our new Bar-room Brawl Singles Champion…MICKY! Now who wants to take him on? Vic?
21 Tim Ebl // May 1, 2008 at 6:08 pm
Mickey: You win; that bird would do some squeezing himself.
JD: As well as nearly useless wings, add small useless beak to your beginner bird requirements. And yes, I do give a fuck what you think. Hopefully now you can sleep tonight.
22 Ernie // May 1, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Okay people, we are a family establishment (at least during the daylight hours); can’t we all just use the word “frak”?
23 Micky // May 1, 2008 at 8:25 pm
I dont give a fuck what any of you think.
And love bites.
How bout I stick a compressor hose up your ass and use you as my doll ?
Ernie.
Fuck frak. What is this ? Some off shoot bitch Faggotstar galactica episode ?
Okay, peace, love , hope , save the earth, kumbaya and all that shit.
I’ll see ya monday night.
