Fat Eye For The Skinny Guy. The page is sharp looking with a pleasant dark background with lighter colored lettering. Works well. The three column style is not my favorite, but what are you gonna do, lots of people have them. Seems to me that it might make more sense to put your excess linkage on another page and let your writing be the focus. But let us not quibble about the little things.
The big thing I want to quibble about is that our author has written his own Weblog Review already. (Why didn’t somebody tell me this site had been reviewed? I would not have spent the last two hours reading and making notes!) 😉 Here is a list our author has kindly provided of reasons why he thinks his blog is the worst of them all:
“1. It’s not funny
2. My life is pretty pathetic
3. My About Page is all false
4. Everything I talk about is stupid
5. My layout is boring and uninspired .”
Interestingly enough, this is a good example of an underlying theme of his blog. He makes fun of himself, before anyone else can do it.
Only thing is, while he is doing this, he is pretty darned funny. His writing is sort of a cross between Rodney Dangerfield and Don Rickles. If something bad is going to happen, it does when our hero is around. From not being able to go to major league baseball games for various and sundry reasons, (even though you have season tickets) , to having the whole cheerleading squad turn snotty on you, he seems to end up on the short end of every stick.
There must be something in the water in New York City that everyone seems to end up so….. grumpy. And just a warning if this kind of thing bothers you, the author has a severe case of potty mouth. (Not that there’s anything WRONG with that.)
As he freely admits, his About page is pure fiction, so we won’t go there.
One entry I submit for your consideration is June 3rd 2004 entitled “Fat Dude Loves Summer Pt. 1” I couldn’t find part 2, I don’t think he has written it yet, but I want to read it when he does.
This is a raunchy blog, almost exclusively grumpy, (check out the Friday Rants), contains a lot of “guy” humor, and is a pretty good time.
