Backpacking Dad

Is there a prize for having the first comment on this post if you're one of the first members of the fan club?

FADKOG: You are the first member of the fan club. That's a prize, right? :} I also have a bag of swag that I don't know what to do with. Or possibly a Starbuck's coupon, if I ever go check the mail. :}

One of these days, I'm going to be all, "Yeah. I knew him when. Check this out! I totally snagged his blog cherry!"

It's totally a prize. Being the first member of the fan club, that is (though that whole comment thing didn't suck).

But mmmmm...swaggy goodness... ;)

Actually, if they're here from my site, they either think you're blind or gay. Because dude, I'm smoking hot.

(kidding, kidding. RedNeck Mommy is smoking hot. I just stand next to her when possible.)

You HAVE been a prolific poster lately...

I have to say that it's really refreshing to read your writing any day.

This post left me wondering exactly how many different personalities you do have?? :)

i thought you were awfully nice and i'm pretty sure i was very drunk and you were kind re: the whole thing.

so, sorry about the being-drunk, and thanks for the gracious.

:)

also, :(

oh, bpd, you're so famous now.
make sure to not forget about the little people ;)

Love that you spelled "favourite" in the British. Gettin' so fancy.

I knew I was your favorite person.

Oh, don't get sucked in by the whole superfluous vowels thing, new folks. I'm pretty new myself and the vowels caught my attention as well. I feel that I was suckered. I have one word for you all.

Canada.

I've been feeling the same way. My posts lately are "Too much laundry-I'll post later." Not great for getting and keeping the readers now is it?

Poor backpacking dad. First a rockstar and now too much traffic. You should just hang it up now.

See what happens when you don't roll with the cool crowd... none of those hot chicks are sending any traffic my way. Damnit!

It was a pleasure to meet you.

I always read you, Backpacking Dad! OUr kids are close in age, and I like your introspective posts.

I have to say, it really is the queen's english that keeps me coming back. (before you were the hot dad at BlogHer) That and the cool writing, cute kid, and the fact that you were a fencer.

I just read you to follow your epic heteroromance with BHJ.

(J/K)

(Maybe)

Okay, I'm one of the people guilty of clicking over here from Amalah. But in my defense, I'm trying to find a man's/father's blog for my husband to read, so he'll understand that blogging isn't just a bunch of henpecking women who list what they do each day.

But I might just have to stalk you now ;)

So I have come, finally, to see what all the clamour is about. Well, OK it didn't exactly happen like that. It was more like Beej (Bejewell) telling me to come and read Backpacking Dad, or else...well not really. What she said was more along the lines of; "You should go read him or I will f*cking cut you!" Gotta love Beej!

Actually I've been here before, but like so many others whom I read for the sheer pleasure of reading what flows from their fingertips, I never can come up with something interesting to add to the conversation.

So, consider yourself visited and read. Now, where do I sign up for the fan club?

I applaud you for going to Blogher!
I also applaud that you married Ryan Gosling's ex girlfriend- how did you snag that!

I'm here because I finally got around to adding you to my blogroll. So, I probably need a spanking or something.

I'm hoping I send a few pervs your way with my post today.

Or at least, women who like having their boobs sniffed. ;-)

I just like hanging out.

But I'm a fan of a man who uses lascivious, so I'm headed to that link...

can you explain twitter? how did you know that those websites mentioned you? I am new to all of this.

I like the old normal template--faster to open! And I was LMAO about your vomit story.

One snide comment about your boring template and I'll never live it down.

But I'm not getting this hot daddy blogger vibe all these women keep talking about.

They must have you confused with Laid Off Dad.

So, which version of Backpacking Dad is the REAL one?

Loved reading the older posts, btw.

Great. Now I will probably have to photoshop damn hearts around your photo or something by the time I finally get around to posting my other BlogHer post.

I can't compete with all THAT fineness. ;)

What kind of prize do I get for having you on my blogroll for...like...forever??!!

I found you through another blog a few weeks back and have enjoyed the way you write! Congrats on the traffic!

No kidding - you are totally clogging up my bloglines!

mr lady: I'm hoping blind.

assertagirl: and I just had another one pop into my head. I may have to just save it so I don't tire everyone out :}

twenty four at heart: heh. still counting, apparently. :}

lildb: I don't remember you being drunk. it was like 4:30 in the afternoon. Were you drunk at 4:30 in the afternoon?

ali: do I know you? I'll have my people call your people :}

carolyn online: yeah, that's just my inner Canadian peeking out.

badass geek: totally.

attiton: ha! it was all part of my plan, to make everyone think I was cultured and british or something. Cat's out of the bag. I'm just a Canadian ex-pat :}

headless mom: I'm still reading. I love reading about laundry. it makes me want to like doing it instead of sending it out.

michelle: you need more controversy :}

michele: and you too!

merecat: get ready for a good introspection.

amelia sprout: Laid Off Dad was the hot dad at BlogHer.

mommy melee: someday we'll run away together to Montana.

meg: there are lots of dad bloggers. Dad Gone Mad, Cynical Dad, Metro Dad. Check them out. They're all better.

auds at barking mad: talk to FADKOG about the fan club. She has the roll :} Beej is awesome, and not just because she keeps talking about me.

gemini girl: Ack! Not true! My sister is Ryan Gosling's ex-girlfriend (from, like, the first grade). Not my wife :}

tootsie farklepants: I don't think I'm allowed to give out solicited spankings. Sets a bad precedent. If I give you one then everyone is going to want one, and then I get divorced. :}

sarcastic mom: That pose was entirely Tanis' fault! She told me to look creepy or something instead of just posing ;}

kateanon: bless you. You are the real hero. The rest of these jokers can learn a thing or two from you.

usmcfamily04: well, twitter is like a clique-y chat room. I know these people linked to me because I have a statcounter widget on my page and it tells me where people came from. I'm glad you like the old template. Me too :}

redneck mommy: totally. Laid Off Dad is way cooler. Plus, he lives in New York and that's way cooler than the suburbs.

loralee: you don't have to compete with anyone. You were the first to squeal at me this weekend, so you win.

thopgood: check the sidebar.

kd@ a bit squirrely: thanks!

kittenpie: I know. I should just stop writing for a couple of weeks and see who abandons me. Then I'll know who my real friends are :}

ooh can I be in the fan club too? Can we get those big obnoxious buttons to wear, like in the 80s with NKOTB on them? Rock on!

and I'm here because I kept hearing your name at Blogher and people kept pointing into crowds and saying "there he is!" but you'd disappear before I could see you. Kind of like the legendary blog yeti. Thanks for wishing me happy birthday on Mr Lady's blog.

Busted. Yes, your BlogHer posts were the first ones I read but they were so funny Pink Bic Boy that I couldn't help come back for more! LOL!

You totally deserve the traffic.

jennifer: totally. But I get to be Joey. Wait, which one was the bad guy? Donnie? I get to be Donnie.

busydad: and people kept saying "Are you Busydad?" And I was all "YES! Adore me!" But they didn't believe me and then they took you to dinner instead. :}

robin: ack. they're not always funny :}

jenni: I totally deserve a head exam.

It was nice meeting you when I crashed the BlogHims session. Hope you finally found Rita from Surrender, Dorothy.

No link for me? No love? I liked to you... I even said I practically ATTACKED you. I told you things that you weren't supposed to repeat but you still did... and no love?

Seriously?

hmph...

You give my readers way too much credit, MU.

Do you really think they (or I) know what Lascivious means? (God, that was way too hard to spell).

Okay, just kidding. My readers are way smarter than I is.

Average Jane: It was great to meet you too. I did find Rita eventually, although I think I was holding a baby at the time so we hardly spent any time talking.

Heather: Uh, so, you didn't happen to look over at the sidebar or anything, did you? No, clearly not.

Motherhood Uncensored: And you give me way too much credit: I have no idea why you were addressing your own achronym in this comment :} You are awesome.
