As a professional language pedant I’m not a fan of making up new words but that is a minor quibble considering the output on the site from one person. Let’s face it, the quality of the content is pretty amazing. The new layout works well. You’re not bombarded with ads. Unlike a lot a cycling related content, John declares the freebies/ plugs. It’s cool to bag this site I guess, but I think deep down any of us would love to be doing what he does.
More importantly, the grammar and spelling is usually flawless.
I have no affiliation with the radavist (which auto correct wants to call ‘rad ageist’ - have you considered that one John?) but will be expecting a back rub in June for this endorsement.
Also can be a thinly veiled insult.
Doesn’t come across as thinly veiled quite so much online too.
If this is true, you playing D&D is way cooler than travelling around the world riding bikes -though that is pretty sweet to.
Check out the boardgames thread! http://www.fixed.org.au/forums/f10/boardgames-29934/
and in general I like the site. Lots of new great pictures the fact that you can scroll thru pics with the keyboard arrows is a small thing but thing lots of sites lack. It’s always gonna be a site with a range of stuff, if your not into a part of it just don’t click on it, shrug, easy.
(also, there could be a bit of this going on Tall poppy syndrome - Wikipedia)
If I’m not mistaken … The Atavistic Urge: Johnny Coast and Seth Rosko | The Radavist
Pics below of Seth vs. Jim Bundy. A few years and continent might separate them but both wake up each morning and look forward to mucking around with bikes. In that sense, they shared the same atavistic urge - the love of bikes and all things two wheels is very strong.
ftfy
nah it’s not taking the piss, I don’t like prolly. There, said it, not ashamed.
Prolly-speak has become the parlance of our times
If I could run a blog like the Radishfist and not have to work in my shitty job with arseholes and get to ride bikes and drink beer and travel the world, I’d be pretty fucking stoked.
I’m not hating on ol’ mate Prolly, he’s living the dream. Kinda.
EDIT: and I’ve been using “stoked” since before I discovered Prolly.
Meh
Nah Jln that would make you a sell out,
Pretty much any one that succeeds is a sell out so just remember that when you try things.
Shit. This blog business is hard!
We love ya prolly…
What impresses me most is that everytime we discuss your blog, you manage to read it, and then comment. I mean have you got FOA on speeddial or something?
The radish has an ear to the ground/is in the ground.
Prolly is skynet?
Prolly is NSA?
shhh the radish is self aware.
^^ polly’s put on weight
