About
My new advice column, Dear Scabby on Scabvendor is a takeoff on the popular old Dear Abby syndicated column which I grew up with.
An advice columnist like Dear Scabby typically answers readers’ queries on personal problems.
Questions are most often asked ‘anonymously’ with the signature assuming the problem that is being expressed. For example, someone who is asking about fucked up behavior in their partner may sign their letter “Dazed and confused, Williamsburg.”
I came up with the idea of doing this shit after getting a good amount of questions and requests for advise via my increasingly popular Facebook page. Who woulda figured, right? I decided that a ”tongue-in-cheek” advice column like this might provide some interesting new ways for me to share my own experience with people who just might benefit from it, as well as a good opportunity to break some balls along the way, just for shits and giggles.
Users can can post questions here for Dear Scabby to answer. Users can also interact with Scabby and with each other here or on my Facebook page to voice their opinions or just talk shit.
This is a pretty cool concept, I think, especially because readers can open up their personal weirdness to a wide readership without ever exposing their true identity to the world if they choose to remain ”anonymous.” You can, however log in with a real name in case you really wanna put your dirty laundry out there for all to see. It’s entirely up to you.
I was pretty surprised to see how fast this thing took off. It was up and running like a raped ape within days of it’s inception. In the following weeks, reader response was absolutely phenomenal, spurring me to keep this shit goiing.
Apparently many of you are enjoying the Dear Scabby advice column as much as I’m enjoying answering all your fucked up (and sometimes even serious) questions.
Keep coming back.
Peace and love, Scabby.
