August’s Comment Of The Month Is A Masterclass In Metaphor

And makes our most mousey commenter a 3x COTM winner…

Andy Irons, Mick Fanning, John Florence… all 3x World Champions.

And yet, not a single one of them has ever won Stab’s prestigious Comment Of The Montha feat now accomplished a comparable 3x by the always sardonic Mr. Cheddar. 

How did our distinguished rodent accomplish such a task?

All it took was 52 poetic words placed below the finale of our Surf100 Challenge Series pres. By Pacifico.

Mr. Cheddar, please send us another email at [email protected] with screenshot proof of your Disqus account. Since you won in April and June and already have a free year of Premium in your name, you can pass a free gift membership to another Stab Premium commenter that you admire. We will track down their email. And, you will be triple-entered in the running for the mega-prize for “Comment of the Year” at the end of, you guessed it, the year.
