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.
