Introducing President Silly Goose!
When not making people feel uncomfortable with unwanted amorous advances or telling beloved professional surfers that he would “ruin them” or berating Brazilian champions in scathing open letters, Erik Logan’s reign atop the World Surf League was marked by whimsical silly goose behavior.
From wearing a t-shirt of Filipe Toledo’s naked chest to his magical wetsuit of armor, ELo, as he self-identified, was full of goofy good-natured fun ‘n games.
After traveling to Brazil with the tour then getting fired in the most brutal of ways, one line dedicated to his “leaving the company immediately” and no lines given to accomplishments such as The Ultimate Surfer getting cancelled after one season or WSL Studios getting immediately shuttered.
Then he disappeared.
Previously robust Instagram account darkened.
Goodbye horses.
ELo fans, initially worried about his well-being, were buoyed when a report from Manhattan Beach declared he was back sweeping the ocean. Thoughts and prayers, though, soon turned to his financial health. What would the man with the poo poo touch do next after, essentially, destroying professional surfing?
What could he do?
You can image the geysers of relief, then, when his LinkedIn sparked to life, last evening, a gif featuring party poppers below a line reading, “I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Living Life at Self-employed!”
While many rejoiced, those currently living life at self-employed became immediately concerned that Logan could well sink the entire industry. Applications for real jobs soaring.
Poo poo touch.
More as the story develops.

He/she/it/they fits the ideal they are spewing these days across many narratives. BUT I doubt any on that committte have tried to bang a surfer…
“Poo Poo Touch”😂🤣😂

☝️🥺👍
We call em ‘brown finger’, or ‘doo-doo boy’.
Hana okalele, broke yer okolele… I think Elo is in their more than a few times.
I’m sure Oprah will take him back.
Not in the least bit care what he does nor will I ever.. just don’t try and buy out any surf brand and or other things surf related and will be just fine
He’s aged…badly
Modern day Dora. He made his money making up false numbers for wsl and ruining surfing for all of us.
We got hosed Tommy. We got hosed. https://media0.giphy.com/me…
Elo lives?
How much did he make as WSL CEO?
there are no ‘free food’ lines in MB. check the ‘food stamps’ registry. or look for a body underneath the pier…
Maybe he will follow in Sophie Gs woke footsteps over to US Skiing to help further ruin a once semi-successful organization
Soph don’t need no help.
I’ve never met a single self-employed person who described their job as “self-employed, though I’ve met plenty of unemployed people who make a liberal use of the term “self-employed” to desribe their purported job.
The same people who went to the school of hard knocks
That post has all the writings of a lost man. One who wakes up late everyday. One that around 11am thinks is it 5 O’clock yet? Before answering his own question out loud with… Its 5′ o clock somewhere! Then heads to the fridge to grab his first white claw of the day.
via rehab to get ‘self-adjusted’ to real world engagements. does he have a dog? or is he fishing for a dog-walking position? “I can multi-task. Am practicing juggling. Help me Strider. Also homeless.”
Lucky cunt.
Only wankers or soccer mums drink white claw.
Are you talking about Chas or E Lo?
Living Life at Self Employed ???
Sounds like some weirdo cultist rehab church.
Members can get together and sell each other snake oil.
He should join the Scientology cult. Suits him
Wall of Positive Unemployment
So long self-employed
Elo fans?
There are less of those than there are unicorns.
Excluding the entire staff at The Inertia.
Living off alimony checks from his ex-wife? Could be you Chas, just a drunken dalliance away.
Since it’s Bukowski’s b-day, I’ll add below an insert for a ELO’s congrats Hallmark Card, to be signed by the good people of Beachgrit:
true
one of lorca’s best lines is
‘agony, always agony…’
think of this when you
kill a cockroach or
pickup a razor to shave or
awaken in the morning to
face the sun…
“the shaving razor’s cold, and it stings”….
