“Break their nose and they’ll just say sorry; now tell me what kind of freaks are that polite.” Weird Al Yankovic – Canadian Idiot
Well, I reckon I ought to add my two cents worth in regards to our review by Keywork over at Ask and Ye Shall Receive; especially considering I’m the one who asked for. And boy did I ever get it. I’m sorry you did not enjoy your visit to our establishment.
When I first submitted The Redneck for a look-see by those guys I kind of had a feeling that it might not be the most positive review ever (just judging by some of the others), but I guess deep down I was hoping I would be wrong and that they would say it was the greatest thing they had ever read and that they now had a new yardstick (or metre stick as we say up here) with which to measure all other blogs. I guess my first instinct was the correct one.
But it wasn’t all bad; Keywork starts out by saying, “Redneck Bar and Grill is not the worst blog I have ever read”. Then he goes on to say that he’s not being complimentary with that statement. However, just two posts under our review on his site is a review of another blog. He calls this one an “incoherent, slimy sac of anal seepage”. When you compare the two statements, I think we were complimented.
Now seeing as I’ve almost lost sleep over what he said about me being a “pretty good writer”, I feel I just have to defend myself. Keywork said, ” Never, ever, ever, ever, claim to be a ‘pretty good’ writer. Let someone else tell you that.” I’ll have you know that one time I asked my mom if she thought I was the greatest writer to ever walk the face of the Earth and she looked at me in the special way that moms do and said, “You’re a…pretty good writer, dear.” Plus, the Ninja that I wrote the story for told me, “thanks for the story Ernie! its amazing! haa”, and then she said, “…..didn’t you wet your pants at all this weekend?!” I’m not really sure what she meant by that; I have never soiled my pants in my entire life…well, except for that time I was cuddling the wet beaver on my lap, but that’s a different story.
Anywho, I would also like to point out that yesterday we received 45 views of The Redneck with iwillfrakingtearyouapart and keywork as the referrers in addition to all of our regualr patrons. It wasn’t all that long ago that 45 views would be our total one day traffic, yesterday it was around one-fifth. Some wise person once said, “Any publicity is good publicity.” So thank-you very much, Keywork, for the relatively kind words and all the attention. Anytime you want to come on down to The Redneck Bar & Grill and hang out for a while the Blue Beaver Beer will be on me.
A couple days ago, I had to do something terrible. At first I didn’t want to talk about it. I was afraid what others would think if they found out. Now, I’m ready to face the truth. I’m talking about Old Blue, our faithful companion of over a year.old-blue
