Burdens of being a bangable blog babe…
By Tarable | January 15, 2008
Yep. That’s me. I’m the number five most bangable blog babe for the month of January. This list is maintained by one Maddog, a self-described lifelong learner and pick-up artist extraordinaire. I’ve had some time to reflect on the “honor” that has been bestowed upon me and have decided to follow the advice that Maddog left in a comment on my other blog. I am going to wear my crown with pride!
To be completely honest, when I first saw the post , I felt a little dirty. There was a small foul-smelling wave of disgust that washed over me. But that didn’t last long because my comedic timing, also known as my onstage survival instinct, kicked in and I began to think of the joke potential that was just handed to me on a shiny blogspot platter. This was a gift.
Some of the funny one-liners that came about as a result of my inclusion on this list:
- “Too bad you have to wait eleven more months to find out if you’re the most bangable blog babe of 2008.”…a friend from high school
- “You totally could have been #4!”…my co-worker Daniel
- “This is what you get when you’re a girl on the Internet.”…Derek, another co-worker
- “I’m so proud of you and disappointed in humanity.”…my supportive boyfriend
- “Why didn’t he install the wijit?”…too many people
- “Check one of my goals for 2008 off the list.”…me
Part of the beauty of The Most Bangable Blog Babes list is that it’s the perfect compliment/insult*. Am I offended or do I laugh? It’s really hard not to laugh when you start reading the pathetic lines that he assigns each girl. And yet, to give Maddog some credit, at least he’s honest. He’s not pretending to be interested in my blogging abilities or my mental talents. Just my oral ones. Ha.
Veronica Belmont** may be a sexy geek, but I’m a bangable blog babe. It’s 2008 and I’m okay with that. To answer the title of the post, I haven’t really encountered any burdens associated with my honor. Except that I have to look bangable all the time. Fortunately Maddog is picking five new blog hotties to feature in a few weeks, which means that I can go back to being merely cute and dorky.
*Another good compliment/insult…”Those bangs make your face look thinner!”
**My new bangs may have been slightly influenced by her.

Hmmm. I would rather put you on a list of ladies with nice pipes, but making a bangable girls list seems to harsh. Not only is the subject matter harsh but its a so-called guy posting pink on his blog and a list! List making and using pink are strictly against man code.
Maybe you should counter with a list of men that need a punch in the cock….

I just revisited your admirer and discovered something even more disturbing than his post: the bloghers who are actually thanking him for his comments.

[...] a profile of Feld. After a recent post from Tara about a title she was bestowed by a scary admirer I felt compelled to advance this meme. Brad Feld: most bangable Internet [...]

damn. I couldn’t resist responding to his latest ode to the tripleB threats, i.e., those of us who haven’t licked him for giving us pride of position on his blog. and then I kind had to laugh at your comment that made him decide to deride some of us in a new post. sweet. so now I’m here.
but srsly - why? why did I snatch up the bait like I’m starving and it was chocolate laced with chocolate?
