According to Technorati, I've been linked to by a site called "The Barefoot Bumf" (http://barefootbumf.blogspot.com). The bits excerpted by Technorati do not seem particularly complimentary; still, I'd be thrilled to pieces if I had my very own parody site. (The traffic and uptick to my link stats wouldn't hurt either.)
Unfortunately, either I've been blocked or the author has taken down the blog. Does anyone know anything about this site?

Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.
With few exceptions, I will not respond or reply to anonymous comments, and I may delete them. I keep a copy of all comments; if you want the text of your comment to repost with something vaguely resembling an identity, email me.
No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.
See the Debate Flowchart for some basic rules.
Sourced factual corrections are always published and acknowledged.
I will respond or not respond to comments as the mood takes me. See my latest comment policy for details. I am not a pseudonomous-American: my real name is Larry.
Comments may be moderated from time to time. When I do moderate comments, anonymous comments are far more likely to be rejected.
I've already answered some typical comments.
I have jqMath enabled for the blog. If you have a dollar sign (\$) in your comment, put a \\ in front of it: \\\$, unless you want to include a formula in your comment.

If you're the author of the Bumf, or you want to create a blog of your own to parody this one, let me know: I'd be thrilled to link to you prominently and throw you some traffic.
ReplyDeleteWell, if nothing else, the "abstract" looks appealing!

Ever met a bumf? Of course you have. A bumf is a bloke (sometimes a woman, but almost always a man) who thinks he's smarter than anyone, a brilliant raconteur, the most insightful thinker on the block. He's read one or two books, so he calls himself well-read (giving a whole new edge to the old "a little learning is a dangerous thing." He doesn't know how to converse with others, so he shouts at them, insults their opinions, and relies on bullying tactics. He isn't interested in truth, but only in winning.
Well, it's a start, but I've let worse comments stay. Does the Bumf intent to continue? Perhaps s/he can use this picture.
