A Dream Deferred
reuters Aug. 15
Any hopes of a pan-global Blob community based on the little known blog of the same name have been put on hold indefinitely. Bob S. , the reclusive and charismatic founder took leave of his duties recently as he undertook a much publicized trip to the Rockies in search of enlightenment. In his absence Blob contributors were left on their own and activity in the all important comment section fizzled to an almost total standstill.
On his return to civilization Bob S. , never one to mince words, couldn't help but voice his disappointment: "To be honest I was afraid this would happen. My contributors are largely alcohol fueled and protein deprived and without guidance have a tendency to lose focus. I had hopes of The Blob becoming a unifying force for all races and creeds (except of course the Libyans) based on juvenile humor and funny pictures....everything seemed to be in place too; the obsequious,lonely devotees, the easy international access, I was optimistic to say the least."
So where did The Blob go wrong? Analysts point to the western Canada trip as a major factor. Sporadic posting became the norm and a crude dial-up connection made presenting even the simplest photoshopped image an impossibility.
Can the project be salvaged and a once unpopular blog return to its former glory? Only time will tell.

Welcome back, Blobbie! I'm sure you return to us well-rested and full of purpose, ready to take on that pie-baking strumpet, Louisa Webb! Please don't be dismayed by the lazy, slug-a-bed behaviour of the many,many "fair-weather" contributors to your fine blog! It's not often I'll side with the likes of that stubble-bearded, slack-jawed farmer, Pappie Yokum, but I think you'll admit that he makes some telling points! The Great Helmsman steers the good ship Blobbie into port for some well-deserved shore-leave, and the rats immediately abandon ship! Shame, people, SHAME!! Forgive them Blob, for they know not what they do!!! Yer stand-up pal(ha! ha!), Mikexxxster
I'm sorry, was I just compared to a yokel??? I will just have everyone know that despite my ruggedly handsome sexxxiness, I am in NO WAY affiliated with country-folk, nor do I ever wish to be. I be a cityslicker all the way! PS. don't leave me again blob :(
As you already know, the pie issue has been dealt with on the main page. It's a baking contest and not an eating one but I have both the culinary skill and the gluttony to win either. Mikexxxster AKA anonymous: that's exactly the type of stylistic overkill that I was pining for while treading gingerly upon the glaciers of the Columbia Ice Field and Maria....sorry for leaving you high and dry. Why be just a city slicker.....a more balanced approach would be to incorporate a bit of yokel as well. You've seen what the narrow focus of tunnel vision can do....don't let it happen to you!
