Lawyers, Bongs, + Vodka: Sept/Oct Comments Of The Month

We’re running a little behind, so here’s a double shot.

“It all feels like a façade to me… Likes? Comments? Who cares?” Bobby Martinez spat in a recent interview for How Surfers Get Paid, a discussion that had enough venom and meat to justify a full editorial breakdown.

And what better way to honour Bobby and his snake-eyed disdain for likes, comments, and competitions than by turning likes and comments into a competition? Thanks, Bobby. You’re with us always.

In the interview, Bobby also mentioned that Billabong once sued Andy Irons during his competitive reign, which seems a little absurd when you dig into it. The comments below the interview reflected that sentiment.

While both comments deserve equal praise, and each has 26 likes, we’re giving the nod to Kama’aina, with a notable assist from Com. Kama’aina, send an email to [email protected] with proof of your Disqus account. You’ve won a year of free Stab Premium and are now in the running for the end-of-year title.

And because what goes around comes around, Kama’aina throws the assist to Negatron for October.

Gotta love someone who can turn bulls piss into lemonade. Negatron, see award and instructions above.
