Carson Park Mofo, occasional administrator of the Eureka Standard blog, came up short Thursday in his quest for the gold in the Olympic blog-neglecting event.
Mofo went 13 days without a new post, just three shy of the world record set in July by Mofo’s archrivals, the Humboldt Mirror bugs.
“Team Mofo was putting up some pretty big numbers,” an ebullient Humbug said after the medals ceremony. “He went 13 days, which is respectable, but keep in mind I’ve had hangovers last longer than that. “
Veteran Olympic commentator Bob Costas had predicted that the showdown between two of the laziest bloggers in the world would provide one of the defining moments of the 29th Olympiad, and the event lived up to its billing.
“By God, this is what American sport is all about,” Costas effused–”right down to the persistent doping rumors. The bugs certainly set the bar low. The Mofo just couldn’t quite slink under it.”

Is that Bon or Vin Diesel in Chronicles of Riddick?
The sudden surge in traffic from over here forced me to post.
Dammit.
Will the Humbug(s) be attending the Blogger’s Picnic?
Our invitation must have been lost in the mail.
You are invited!
The Humboldt Blogger’s Council seems to operate on a shoe-string budget. I doubt they have the resources to be sending out official invitations.
-boy
It will be the most glorious masquerade ball ever! Will you recognize the voices behind the masks?
The Humboldt Bloggers Council invites all Humboldt Blog Authors to the Rio Dell Fireman’s Park Sunday, September 21st 11am to 4pm.
Potluck is the fare. Bring something for others to nosh on. Bocce courts and miniature golf within walking distance. And……did I mention it’s in Rio Dell.
And -boy, the budget is far from shoe string, why Randy Gans informed me we have enough funds to….uh, oops, I’ve said too much.
