The UWont Blog Anthem

National Negative Day was this past Thursday. Now, perhaps you think that this would be the biggest day of the year for Charlie Card and myself, and we might, for instance, actually put up a post and not just a last second tweet. Well, while you are correct that it was the biggest day of the year for both of us, we have also demonstrated that we clearly do not know how to maintain a website and post roughly once every 3-5 months. Last Thursday just wasn't in the cards.

Never fear. Today we unveil a post that should make up for every day between August 15* and November 28 that you've checked back to www.uwontblog.com, hoping against hope there'd be a new post to further your exploration of The Negative.

No more words. Ladies and not gentleman: as submitted by loyal reader "The D. Tops," the completely unofficial UWont theme song:

*For those of you who don't remember, meaning everybody in the world except for me, on August 15 we put up an atrocious post about farting that somehow screwed up all the formatting on our site and we subsequently removed.

Not that: The Story of a Hamburger

Definitely not this book by David Zinczenko, never that

To Our Rivals: You Wouldn't Dare

Just days after the launch of this site last December, a mysterious brand of graffiti began popping up on the streets of New York. Starting in Brooklyn and steadily seeping onto mainland Manhattan, the words "You Would" can now be found everywhere from mailboxes in Chelsea to the public bathroom stalls of the West Village.

These taggings continue to cause quite a stir, with the likes of New York Magazine and the Brooklyn Paper speculating about what they could mean, but I am here to expose the truth. After spending all of three minutes thinking about it and talking to the one-legged man on the subway with all the pins in his hat, I figured out the secret behind the "You Would" markings.

It's clearly the work of a highly disorganized gang of wannabe rivals who are jealous of UWont Blog's success (not to mention robust social media following) and are using street "art" in an effort to generate anti-Negative sentiment.

Hate to break it to you guys, but talking (or painting) in "The Positive" just doesn't work, and no amount of spray paint is going to disprove that. Although our "You Won't" and your barbaric catchphrase strive to elicit the same response in people, they truly are worlds apart.

For starters, we choose the civilized medium of the Internet to spread our message, while you use the backside of Moo Goo Gai Pan Pot Luck Dynasty. Their poo poo platter is second to none, but that's not the point. Second, your work lacks continuity. When you're incognito, as we are, it's especially important to tie your work together with a common theme. Yes, I get it, you're always saying that people "would," but your lettering is all over the place and you have no standard color. At least we have the decency to use the same font from post to post (most of the time).

Finally, you have no star power on your side. As I recall, it was R. Kelly who once crooned, "haters gon' hate, ballers gon' ball, so keep doing your thing and writing about The Negative, y'all."

So, in the words of Professor Gerald Lambeau, the faculty have answered...and answered with vigor. Bring it on, freeloaders. You won't. And just so you know, yes, we would.

Out and About with The Negative
