" I won!", was the cry of Uisce of Whiskey Talking. "Now who's your Daddy? HOOAH!" As you can see he was thrilled at the announcement of Round 3 Gold Medal winners this evening ( or was that just his Whiskey Talking?)

Round Three: Celebrated the popularity of the blog by the highest number of comments to one post. This particular round found many participants muttering and shaking their heads calling other participants blog comment whores.

The Blog Virtual Security force was called upon to restore order in an already electrically charged environment. Fortunately for Barbara's Living Room, no sparks were ignited and order was quickly restored before the fire department had to be dispatched. Blog hostess Barbara smiled sweetly and assured the IOBC members that the fire department is now on her speed dial.

Nancy of Blog Pourri posted a world blogging Olympic record of 268 comments. The clever girl held a block (blog) party inviting friends to the virtual party. Clever idea!

A reception will be held for the bronze medalitsts immediately after the award ceremonies sponsored by Carol of A Revision and the Friends of the Friendless Marching Band. Carol is the conductor the the marching band and chooses a friendless site to feature in her blog every Friendly Friday. Being nominated as a friendless site only means that the blog doesn't have many comments but has been singled out as being worthy of more attention.

When questioned , the mysterious Miss Minerva stated, "It's not my fault. I've always been attractive and things just naturally stick to me because of my magnetic personality." No charges were filed and Minerva was talked into dropping sexual harassment charges against the IOBC.
