The Apocolypse, HR, and Bucky Covington

Dudes, I’m in the middle of something bigger than myself. It’s the end of the world as I know it because I started a Bucky Covington shit-storm.

That’s great
It starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes and emails
Bucky Covington is not afraid

I’m in a mood for REM — especially because I’ve been deleting anti-Laurie, pro-Bucky comments on my blog (and banning IP addresses) for the past 24 hours. I’ve let a few comments slide into the original post, just for fun, but most of them call me a talentless hack and suggest that I’m an ugly whore. I do like this comment, though:

“Oh Christ, Bucky Covington has a better career than I do.”

I’d like to make amends with the Bucky crowd by asking Mr. Covington to play my office breakroom, company picnic, or corporate cafeteria when I have my next job. I’ll supply the Flavia coffee, microwave popcorn, and bad fluorescent lighting. As you can see by the picture below, it’s a requirement that Bucky only plays corporate lunch rooms with drop-in ceilings.

((Bucky Covington also likes to play for teh ceiling cat!))

Bring it, Bucky lovers — but also bring it to Kris Dunn who started this effin nonsense. How can the HR Carnival be so controversial? Maybe that’s a sign — we’re finally making a dent in this world!

    Dudz, thanks for your support. I am not happy about 99% of the comments coming into my inbox, but I’m happy that I’ve reached another demographic: Bucky F**kers.

    i’m not at all a country music fan, despite living most of my life in good ol’ kentucky… so, bucky is definitely not on my top-music list. that being said, there are plenty of people out there who love country music, but i just don’t get it.

    bummer that you’re getting so much flak for expressing your opinion. God forbid!
