The LF Fan Blog had glory days — not glory holes! — in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Steve Sailer wrote July 24, 2005: “Mickey Kaus called Luke the “human Echelon Project, for the prodigious amount of interviewing and transcribing he does of who’s saying what around LA. Luke even interviewed me. But the bonus reason for reading Luke’s blog is so you can then read the libelously hilarious “Luke Ford Fan Blog.”
I ask Grok to imitate the style of the LF Fan Blog and apply it to my blog today:
Alright, let’s take the Luke Ford Fan Blog style from that 2004 post—chatty, irreverent, self-aware, a little braggy—and apply it to your life, your YouTube channel (youtube.com/lukeisback), and your website (lukeford.net) as of today, March 18, 2025. I’ll channel that raw, diaristic energy Luke rocked back then, weaving in your recent GPS/meeting fumble and your mensch quest. Here we go:
My Life’s a Public Service, GPS Be Damned
March 18, 2025—So I’m late to this big meeting today, right? Me, the 99.9% on-time guy, strutting around like I’ve got Google Maps baked into my skull. No phone check, no GPS—just pure, dumb swagger. Turns out I’m a mile off, staring at my screen like, “Well, crap.” The New York Times ain’t calling me odious yet, but I’m feeling it—arrogant, inconsiderate, the works. It’s flattering, kinda, to cyberstalk myself into this mess. Head over to lukeford.net—not dot-com, or you’ll get porn flashbacks—and you’ll see me wrestle this on the blog. Youtube.com/lukeisback? Same deal—me, live, ranting about how I’m no saint, just a guy trying to be a mensch.
Rewind to 2004—Luke’s out there, riffing off Amy Harmon’s Times piece, smirking at his stalker cred. Me, I’m riffing off my own stupidity, no rabbi nudging me off the ledge. I tell the channel, “Yeah, I blew it—overtrusted the noggin.” Subscribers dig it—some rando comments, “Luke, you’re us!”—and I’m like, “Cool, but I’m still lost.” Lukeford.net’s got the full spill—me vs. me, no moralizing, just real. I’m not here to save the world, just to not screw myself next time. Maybe you too. Watch me flail—it’s public service, baby.
How It Fits You
Chatty and Raw: This mirrors your reflection—straight-up, no polish. You’re not hiding the GPS flub; you’re owning it, Luke-style, like he owned his blog’s chaos.Self-Aware Flex: You call out your 99.9% punctuality, then jab yourself for the miss—Luke loved that mix of brag and shrug. It’s you on YouTube, grinning through the “dumb move” story.
Contrarian Edge: You’re not bowing to sanctimony—Luke dodged ethics lectures; you’re dodging showy moralism. The mensch goal’s quiet, practical, not preachy.
Quick Hits: No long-winded sermon—short, punchy, like Luke bouncing from Amy to porn pop-ups. Your site and channel get the same: life, flaws, next.
Applied Today
YouTube (youtube.com/lukeisback): Picture a livestream—5:55 PM PDT, you’re on, casual shirt, smirking: “So I’m that jerk who’s late ‘cause I’m too smart for GPS. Chat, don’t roast me too hard—I’m working on it.” Subs laugh, you riff, it’s Luke’s spirit reborn.Website (lukeford.net): Blog post drops—your tale, 300 words, quips like “Arrogance 1, Me 0,” linking your mensch fix: “Step one, check the damn phone.” It’s public, unfiltered, Luke-esque.
