Jack Of All Blogs- Blogger Wanted

I'm interested, and would like to know what sort of snark you seek. I am willing to provide writing samples on topic of your choice.

Thanks.

@slpenney: He means JOAB, aka Jack of all Blogs, which is infamous for snark.

Got it. I wasn't familiar with it :)

slpenney - if you are still interested, that's great. It doesn't have to be that "snarky"- but traditionally, readers of this blog do expect strong, individual opinions.

Opinions are like ... well, you know. And I've got a few of those around here somewhere. ;)

I'd like to hear more about your copyrights and so on. I've run across JOAB quite a bit actually, and would appreciate working in your format. ^.^

Let me know - I'm sure you would appreciate my "personal" blog, "I may not be right", detailed in my bio here. Thank you for your consideration =)

I'd love a shot at this. Are there try-outs?

Sign me up! Dah bitch is back. :D

I see your parenting blog is not quite full. Here's a sample of my attitude.

How to Handle the Annoying Neighbor Kid
Every neighborhood has one. Annoying Neighbor Kid (ANK). It's that kid who is so ignored at home that he's at your house ten seconds after you pull in the driveway. He lurks out front on his bike, his body language screaming out for attention. He's full of needs.
-Can your kid come out to play?
-Can ANK have a drink of water? And a cookie?
-Can ANK borrow your blow torch to build a pipe bomb?
Before you go all Ice Queen on ANK - consider this. He's either going to set off that pipe bomb in your front yard, or become easy pickin's for Stoner Guy the next neighborhood over and start selling "candy" to your kid. This is what you do. Draw the line. Call ANK out on every single thing he does that pisses you off. You will quickly gain the respect and admiration of ANK. Remember, he's dying for attention. After you've got him hooked on your intoxicating and addictive but healthy parental dominance, he's ripe. Now get him to do all those chores around the house that your own kids won't do.
Hear me now, thank me later.

I'd certainly be interested in doing some opinionated blogging.

Hey, I'm snarky! (Makes "Call me" gesture...)

I'm probably the only guy on the net who's not infatuated with Twitter...

Unlike all of the others here, I don't feel the need to prove my worth in the subject line.

You can check out my blog & get the picture...

I'm not very smart. Nor am I handsome, saavy, or fashionably sensitve.
Hire me. I'm cheap.

My name is Chris and I have been blogging for about 5 years and reviewing films with a comedic slant for about ten. My partners and I recently got picked up by a real company and have an animated comedy film review site called www.spill.com where I am the character Cyrus, and I have a snarky blog there for your perusal. I have been link blogging on livejournal at http://chris2342.livejournal.com/ for the longest time. I'm pretty sure I can add to your arsenal of snarkyness with style and verve and overconfidence, so please consider me for the job.

Thanks for all the interest and suggestions! I'll be reviewing each application over the next couple of days and will be in touch with the person I think best suited.

I don't snark in my blogs because, hell, I was trying to be a professional blogger. I'm in debt to my ears, my truck's in the shop (still), and I'm not sure if I'll be able to feed the dogs (or myself), come this time next month, so we all know how well that worked out. If it's snark you want, it's snark you'll get, because damnit, we all need someone (else) to tell it like they want it to be!

I have a long history of starting trouble on the Internet.

It's not that I intentionally try to start things, I am just a man of strong well founded views and almost everyone else isn't. When I post my views on any topic and make a logical argument to support them people just HATE me. But they always come back for more!

"Make a man think he is thinking and he will love you. Make a man actually think and he will hate you."

I AM THE MASTER OF THE...ah, who cares. I can't claim much mastering of anything other than talking shiat, but I still have fun, and that's what counts, right? I write for my own personal blog, gooseysgabbings.blogspot.com, and I certainly try to be as snarky, farky, and all the other arky categories you can fit (I smell a new category on Jeopardy!Oh wait....maybe that's me.) Ooops...sorry..are you awake? Dong!! (claps) DONG! (claps again) Grampa is talking to you! I would definitely be interested in doing some more blogging...so, give me a buzzzzzzzz.....Oh yeah, that's the spot!

People call me capslock because I was always so angry I had no choice but to type in all caps. But I do have a mild, but snarky side to me, too. Oh, and I'm very opinionated. No other opinion matters but mine.

Have I mentioned that I'm opinionated?

Sounds like a pretty cool gig - JOAB's come a long way since it launched! I wish I had the time to muck in with this one, because there's more than a few snarky comments I could make about the bogg o'sphere...

Some uninformed hack was taking potshots at my industry. I suppose the most effective criticism would be to ignore it but I was compelled to respond. Taken from my blog www.UFCmania.com:

"Ignorance is Bliss: Perception is not reality on Slate.com"

Troy Patterson recently posted a commentary on “The Lovely Spectacle of UFC Fighting" over at Slate.com. He describes himself feeling “melancholy" and “sad" after watching an episode of UFC Unleashed.

I know how he feels … I felt the same way after reading his article.

Mixed martial arts is a sport that continues to grow and evolve. Its critics, unfortunately, do not.

When a detractor of combat sports uses a term as obsolescent as “human cockfighting", they fail not only their audience, but also themselves.

Patterson’s condescending perspective on the merits of cagefighting represents not an opinion, but a form of mass hysteria that has gripped the frail and timid souls in our media who are capable not of critical thinking, but of pointing and condemning.

To cast judgment on the UFC after watching an episode of “UFC Unleashed” is like writing a movie review based on a film’s three-minute trailer or sitting on a boardwalk bench and muttering “steroids" under your breath every time a rippling meathead passes you by.

I’ve always respected a dissenting opinion. What I do not respect, however, is rampant generalizing and arguments that render themselves fact simply because “John McCain said so" back in 1995.

It is my opinion that the article in question has less to do with the contempt of cagefighting and more to do with masking the brittle psyche of columnists like Patterson.

At its core, this article is nothing more than a self-affirmation that Patterson has been able to distance himself from the sadistic world he envisions of 18-34 year olds who still live at home and thirst for violent stimuli like Grand Theft Auto and Reservoir Dogs.

I won’t flat-out call him insecure, but I have a feeling that Patterson is the kind of person who will run into Wal-Mart for batteries and become deeply insulted when a slack-jawed patron mistakenly asks, “Excuse me sir, do you work here?"

I guess one could infer from my tone that I was a little annoyed by this article.

Perhaps that was Patterson’s intention? To imagine me grunting and beating on my chest like the primate he thinks me to be?

Actually, I’m more annoyed by the incoherence of his article than I am at his petty name-calling.

Maybe I should lighten up.

Like they say: “Sticks and stones can break my bones but an insipid commentary by Troy Patterson will never hurt me.”

Or the UFC for that matter.

Many thanks for all the interest, esp. to those who applied for this job.

I have decided that the winner is....capslock!!

Will be putting up new jobs here soon. Watch this space!

Congrats capslock, whose name is ironically in lower case. I'm looking forward to reading you and having you piss me off :)

Congrats capslock. Writing is at JOAB can be lots of fun, hope you'll do a better job than I did. :)
