ult and momentous year worldwide and things were no different here at The Blob. A marked decline hereabouts in post production coincided with the international economic meltdown and the growing threat of global warming (and my stint in rehab for an on-line word game addiction didn't help either). Still, I averaged almost 1 post every 3 days which is a lot better than say, the sultry Maureen Dowd with her addictions (I'm hoping sex and over the counter pain medication!!) and I include pictures and The Blob is free!!
The year started off like a house on fire, January coming in with a whopping 14 posts (all quality and some of them golden). The "I Have a Dreamsicle" ad of January 22nd Tastelessness in Advertising was 1st among equals with Honourable mention to Viagra Noodle Man with too much time on his hands and a brilliant idea seeking investors. (Jan.23).
February, with 12 posts was a solid month and the fan favorites were (yes..a tie) from the 12th day titled: The Blob Book Corner and from the 7th:Write if You Get Work
March and a hefty 18 posts!! St. Patrick's Day Tribute!! with it's lovely tale about the origins of the Irish style of dance was a personal favorite.
April...15 posts...winner: Yesterday "T".....Today "A" (happy now??!!??) all praise YouTube.
May...13 posts...How can I not cite the post concerning my past love, Michaelle Jean: Hey Sarkozy; Get your Brie covered hands off of her!!!
June...13 posts...toss up: Setting the Record Straight , Worst Movie Ever!! both featuring Blob regular BoneMikester.
July....way down to 8 posts and winner by virtue of its title: Gneiss Cock!!
August..ouch , only 4 posts (but I was away in Alberta): An Important Message from the Editorial Staff I admitted I was addicted to the word game Scramble and Nan Wilkinson was introduced as guest Blogger
September...a respectable 8 posts...#1: A Dog's Life Nan's swan song.
October...2 posts...let's move on shall we??
November...only 5 posts, but still.... Blob Update - The 1st Fifty Years OK maybe a somewhat self indulgent choice but it's my blog. Bite me!
December...7 posts...not too bad. Those naked Japanese girls playing trombones = No contest: Bush de Noel
Just enough time for some sushi before 2009. Oh yeah, my resolutiuon for the coming year: No more hi fives, celebratory or ironic. The fist bump is more sanitary and will be seen as a sign of solidarity with the Obamas. Happy New Year etc.

2 thumbs up for the nutcracker and Bush de Noel.
Do you think I could get a Canada Council grant to study with one of them? Actually, I bet I would learn even more if I could get 2 of them to teach me at the same time.
I heard they will be the ensemble in residence at McGill next year. We will all be out of jobs, and enrollment will be up 2000%.

Here's wishing The Blob and all it's(his?)readers all the best in 2009.
I'll always treasure my time as guest post master even though certain contributors were less than charitable, in the Christian sense,and caused my family and me no end of trouble.
It pains me to say that my dear daughter Pam suffered a miscarriage and young son Stephan has discovered scientology.
Hubby Jim has been a rock as usual but his business trips have become more frequent...still....there's no end of housework and volunteering and as always, the Lord is sheperding me through.
Best wishes,
Nan
Welcome aboard Bonegrotter. This place sure could use a little fresh blood although another trombonist?? I guess beggars can't be choosers.
I have a feeling you won't be the only one applying to the Canada Council for just such a grant. Here's a tip from the voice of experience: It's considered bad form if the pages of the grant proposal are stuck together.
Dixxx...I don't doubt that what you predict will come to pass. In these tough economic times one of the few remaining recession proof jobs is that of naked, female, oriental, music teacher.
And finally thank you Nan for the kind words and the superfluous update. Happy New Year to all from cold,snowy, Alberta.
Well, cheer up, Boys, imagine the faculty concerts they'll put on!!
Pff, ya, and I bet they'll get more dollar bills in their underwear--or wherever--than the properly dressed fellas. Damn bureaucracy!
Also, that's right, Nan! Suck it!! You dumb Christian bitch!!!
Mwa ha ha...
