My concession speech
The results of The Mobbies – baltimoresun.com’s online voting contest recognizing Maryland’s best blogs – are in, and Ring Posts came up just short.
In the category for Best Baltimore Sun blog, Ring Posts finished second out of 21 blogs.
Congratulations to Richard Gorelick, The Baltimore Sun’s restaurant critic and the author of the Dining@Large blog, on his victory. He ran a strong campaign -- and hey, who doesn't love food?
A special thanks to all of you who stood up and voted for Ring Posts. We may have fallen short of our goal of victory, but the pro wrestling community sent a clear message to the elitists that we are a force to be reckoned with.

I hope you snuck back into the ring and broke his trophy.

Food and wrestling. What else is there?

Kevin,
You need to ask for a recount. I tried to vote for you but it said I voted for Gorelick. Ironic his name has Gore in it....conspiracy.
No one is better than you.

Very strong showing for a wrestling blog.
Everybody eats. Not everyone appreciates the finer points of pro wrestling.

Eck,
Are you going to the Mobbies award bash tonight? I'm going. My blog at Blippitt.com finished 3rd overall in the "News" category. Really, it's more of a pop culture blog than anything else, but I'll take it.
If you're going to the bash tonight, cue up your music, interrupt the host, demand to invoke your rematch clause, then bash Richard Gorelick with a chair shot!
Wooo!
RESPONE FROM KE: Great idea! Then I can pick up some food and shove in his face. Then I'll grab the mic and say, "You love food? Well, there you go -- how's that taste? Write a blog about that!"

I really enjoy this blog and it probably had nothing to do with the results, but one thing I find is that there are less responses from you than with many other blogs.
I totally understand you're a busy guy and this isn't your main gig, so it's understandable but part of the appeal of the blog is that immediate interaction with the blogger and I don't know if this has it compared to many other ones out there.
Just a thought....

Don't forget the "If you smell what the Eck is cooking" line. You need your own Blue Meanie to follow you around as well.

Would've won if open to international votes!
