"I am relieved and grateful, and I think the citizens of Boulder are relieved and grateful."
—Robert Rowan, aka El Dildo!

As Julia Child once wisely observed, "You can't make dill bread without dill dough." Mondo Boulder realizes that Cranks are the spices in our Civic Stew. They lighten the loaf of our day, and allow us to feel that perhaps we, ourselves, are not such damfools after all. There are even Good Cranks dwelling in Boulderia's Enchanted Open Space, but here we deal with The Dork Side.

In order to give credit where it is so richly and redolently deserved, the Modest Geniuses behind Boulder's Best-Kept Secret hereby announce a series of ongoing awards to honor outstanding local examples of Foot-Shooting, Ham-Handedness, Fifth-Dimensional Logic, Egregious Fuggheadnery, Wankosciousness And Good Intentions Gone Bad!

CAVEAT: While Mondo Boulder would love to have its own crack investigative teams covering every cranny of Greater Boulderia, this is simply not possible in these times of economic downturn. Hence, we are forced to rely largely for crack investigation on the local newsmedia and the one overworked Confidential Informant we can afford. So, as Sportin' Life said, adjusting his caveat, "It ain't necessarily so." NOTE: Mondo Boldo can not afford expensive multmedia software, so please help out by reading the title below OUT LOUD in a reverberant basso profundo:

Now! Feel the Power of The Dork Side!

That's all for now...
but as Arnold said "We'll be back..."

[But we weren't. It was like trying to bail the ocean out with a bucket. Time slipped away, and so did The Dillies! Only part of a new series of awards was ever finished, and unposted until 2006. It's HERE.]
