Sport Commenting

I was on Bike Snob NYC the other day and noticed that all the posts had copious amounts of comments. Besides fill me with shame and a senses of inadiquicy at the short comings of my own blog, it greatly intrigued me. It seems that some folks have even made a contest out of being the first to comment on postings by adding things like "firsties" and "podium" to kick off the discussion. Many people comment everyday, some more than once! Since this blog is utter garbage compared to BSNYC, I'm not even gonna hope for such shannagins to transpire at the end of my penning. Instead, I myself am setting off to become a respected commenter in the world of blogging.
The caliber of commenting on BSNYC is sharp as a tac, and there is no way I'm stepping into that verbal shit-storm. So as an amateur I have chosen a small blog dealing with relatively simple subject matter for practice. The blog has a few regular commenters already and I do anticipate some friction between us as I try and join their ranks. I must also mention this is an Australian based blog so some things may become lost in translation (Bill Murry whisper in my ear!). And, the blog actually has a ranking system for users so it will be easy to know when I have reached the status of Respected Commenter! The Blog is called RAD and I've began with this entry.

If you suffer from chronic boredom at work be sure to check back regularly as I will be commenting on every RAD post until I get my respect.
