Comment Of The Month: April And May

Surfskates and lycra tights…

Between the release of Stab In The Dark with Ethan Ewing, Stab High Virginia Beach, and a handful of other projects in production, April and May have been chaotic months in the Stab Mag sausage factory. 

So chaotic, in fact, that the powers who normally collect and depict our monthly celebration of keyboard commentary have been remiss. So, we’ve collected the best two comments from the past two months and put them here, in one post together. 

First up, in April, our favorite comment was this quip on Ethan Ewing’s baffling ability atop a surfboard.

Speaks for itself. 

As for May, a familiar face appears.

“We can’t just let the rat win everything again this year,” said Mikey C, as we parsed through the nominations. 

And yet, despite our hesitations, Mr. Cheddar’s name appears again and again and again at the top of the Disqus pile. 

This one was left on our boardshort survey results.
This one was on a piece about the ideal height for surfers.

Who will dethrone the Rat King?

As always, both commenters please send an email at [email protected] with screenshot proof of your Disqus account to collect your free year of Premium. 

And, Mr. Cheddar, since you have won more times than we can count and already have multiple free years 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 both be once more entered in the running for the mega-prize for “Comment of the Year” at the end of, you guessed it, the year.
