Wunderkind


Coming back from a two-week absence to The Tome of Communism is like working as an exterminator and finding the legendary Lord Cockroach, the Moby Dick of bugs, taking up residence in your desk on Monday morning.

White type on a black background, text framed with clipart, Obama, McCain, Hilary? A title so annoying that it makes me wish that titles didn’t exist?

Indeed, it’s days like this when I fucking love being an exterminator.

But wait! Did I see you call somebody a "colossal soggy douchebag"? I’m intrigued. Is that a tongue-in-cheek defense of a pedophile? Not bad. A little bit of photoshop work to send-up Iranian propaganda? Nice. You, Woozie, main poster and, apparently, driving force of the blog...you’re eighteen? And you write like this?

Shit. Despite displaying all the earmarks of a shitty, shitty blog, well, I like these guys, I like what they’re doing. Some of the writing is cringe-worthy, yes, but there are bits of inspired pseudo-lunacy where the delivery is less important than the entertainment-value of what’s being said.

This is one of those blogs that will divide the audience here at Ask, I believe...and by "divide", I mean "everyone will disagree with me and hate on it".

Fuck it - short, stout, and to the point, I like it...this much, anyway:



No apologies - Lord Cockroach has befriended me, and I’ll have to squash a different bug next week.

  1. Look, I'm a big fuzzy ball of hate, especially on Mondays, but I agree with you on this one. I wish I wrote like this kid when I was eighteen. Fuck that, I just wish I was eighteen again. Um, I like this kid in a totally hetero fashion.

  2. I agree, Woozie impresses the fuck out of me. He fits a mold, but a far more interesting mold than most blogs I've read.

    I'm pretty sure Woozie goes to the school of Chuck: Klosterman, Palahniuk, Taylors, Barris, Woolery. The ones who are cool just because. No marketing: just good, wholesome satire.

  3. Well thank you. It's nice to wake up and not receive the rape by chainsaw you were expecting.

  4. Wait, were you promised a chainsaw rape? If you were, it's still coming, it's just on backorder. I also do all the warranty work around here.

  6. Also, the graphics on this post made me cackle at my desk like a school-girl.

    And, I normally HATE political blogs with the harnessed fire of ten thousand tanning beds.

  7. The love fest continues. I like Woozie so much I want to give him a complimentary manwax.

  8. Not so hasty, FF, let's make sure his manparts are legally waxable for manscaping.

  9. No! I am totally anti-manpart-waxing.

  11. Waxing? FGSFDS. Hell, after an irritated bout with shaving this *seventeen* year old is rocking the au naturale look.

  15. Hey Woozie, you cringe worthy! Look who got reviewed! Good review. I probably had the same reaction the first time I saw your blog. I didn't want to like it, but I always came back. Like being stuck on a desert island with an old Eskimo woman.
