Happy birthday to us!
Happy birthday to us!

Happy birthday to the Humboldt County watercooler on crack among disparate portions of the political spectrum who would scarcely approach each other in a crowded room but duke it out in blogland all day lo-oonnggg

Happy birthday to us!

  3. Johnny O says:

    Four years already? Wow! Congrats, you’ve almost been in existence as long as the ER was before it folded into oblivion.

  4. Heraldo says:

    Hey, that’s right! And it didn’t take millions and millions of dollars to pull it off! Sweet.

  5. Ekovox says:

    From one of the old timers in Blogland, congratulations on your 4th birthday. Shoot, some of the newcomers in blogland still aren’t even potty trained.

    Say, if you ever want to get together for a picnic sometime…..

  6. Ken Bareilles Jr says:

    Congrats,
    The Herald has become a must read. It seems like the gathering place for this County.

  7. Heraldo says:

    Come back to the fold, Ekovox! We hereby call for a rebirth of 299 Opine. And hey, if you do it today we can share the day.

  8. Ed says:

    Keep on provokin’

  9. Mitch says:

    Heraldo,

    You put the Bolt in Humboldt, and the Eek! in Eureka.

    You put the A in Arcata and the Tuna in Fortuna.

    You’d put something in McKinleyville and Trinidad, too, but I don’t have a dictionary handy.

    Congratulations on four years of rakin’, and wishing you many more.

  10. Kym says:

    One of the first places I look every day is here to see what is happening that I need to know. Congratulations on the 4th year.

  11. Heraldo says:

    Thanks, Kym!

    Mitch, you just won yourself a free sundae from Bon Boniere!

  12. Mitch says:

    Hey, thanks! Take that, NCJ letters.

  13. longwind says:

    May you grow old and wise, like so many of us . . .

  14. Dan Squier says:

    Happy birthday Herald, and good for you Heraldo, like Kym, you’re one of my first reads in the morning.

  15. Rob Arkley says:

  16. Good Rockin' Derral says:

    ..and my last read at night. Forums. I’m for ‘em.

  17. Joe Cornish says:

    I love the Humboldt Herald! Happy anniversary!

  18. Can someone who supposedly does not exist have a birthday?

  19. Mitch says:

    Merrrry Christmas, samoa!

  20. Babushka says:

    Many happy returns, Heraldo. Uranus just entered Aries today, guaranteeing you an eventful year. Thanks for all you do.

    Oh Well, Happy Birthday anyway.

  27. Living In Eureka says:

    Congratulations & Happy 4th Birthday Heraldo. If you want to be in the Know, The Herald is the only way to go!

    Thanks to the guy who can get the scoop – Tipping a cool one to 4 more years!

  28. anonymous says:

    Congrats! I too have to admit to spending a great deal of time on the Herald (though reading more than commenting)…especially when you scoop the local news media, which happens on a fairly regular basis. Keep up the *good* work!

  29. Dont be fooled again says:

    That explains a lot! It always has felt like I was arguing with a four year old. Happy birthday! Thanks for the forum. I need a hobby.

  30. foxstudio says:

    Happy Birthday from a new(er) reader! I feel like there’s finally a daily place to find out what’s going on around here. And the squabbles, uh, enthusiastic comments, are the best. Keep it goin’!

  31. Tapperass says:

    Four years! Happy Birthday! Don’t go getting soft now.

  32. Greg says:

    Has it really been four years? You haven’t changed a bit.

  33. suzy blah blah says:

  34. J Warren says:

    Well H

    Thanks for keeping it interesting.

    I have always appreciated your art, even if your color choices are sometimes suspect.

    Thanks for providing the forum and making it lively.

    It’s a hoot!

  35. gulo gordo says:

    happy birthday H-bomb!

    I brought you a possum. It’s under your deck.

  36. Heraldo says:

    Thank God for ketchup.

  37. The Monitor says:

    The Herald is like the coffee houses of olde. It is a virtual coffee house, where you take a few hits of your favorite blend, drop in and get ready to give your best shot at wit and wisdom. The socializing is not as good as face to face, but who cares, you can let it all hang out and you know others will too. I do have a group of friends that get together regularly to discuss what is happening locally. We are all of a similar frame of mind on many issues, so it is great to join Heraldo where we can sharpen our debate skills and keep the other side honest. At least we can hope. Thanks for keeping the coffee house open for four years Heraldo.

    Ouch.

  39. kristabel says:

    Four years??? And I still have yet to give you a much deserved birthday spanking.

    Happy Birthday, Heraldo. Thanks for all the stimulating thought.

    xo

    Richard asked,”Can someone who supposedly does not exist have a birthday?”

    Hey it has worked for Jesus for thousands of years,so why not the same for heraldo?

    Happy Birthday heraldo,your blog is almost as awesome as the sweet chick with the chocolate covered xanax blog.

  41. d'herbois says:

    your success and longevity are testimony to your class, style, and pertinence.
    thanks for all of your time and efforts.
    congratulations.

  42. Goldie says:

    Four years! I guess you will be getting a raise now.

  43. JD 86 says:

    Happy anniversary!

  44. tinkerbell says:

    Thanks for providing a news blast and raving forum. We need it and love it.

  45. Anonymous says:

    Happy Fourth, dear Heraldo!~

    Long may you wave!~

    Like the Masked Man of old

    The world for to save!~

  46. Carol says:

    It is hard to believe that it has been 4 years – Happy Birthday, Humboldt Herald! :)

  47. cheesedick says:

    Black Flag told me to tell you Happy 4th.

  48. Heraldo says:

    Black Flag told you to use the word “happy”? Take that anyone who says the Herald doesn’t have a positive influence.

    And thanks everyone for the kind words. We couldn’t rake the muck without you.

  49. Inquiring Mind says:

    Who is going to jump out of that cake?

  50. Black Flag says:

    I thought YOU, were Black Flag?

  51. Time to get real says:

    Heraldo, It is time for a big kiss for making my day at least three times a week. You do get a triple scoop some weeks, but the best single story for me was when city hall, Tyson, blocked the Herald. Now that was keeping them alert, Heraldo. I know you gave a few, at city hall, ulcers. Happy birthday!!!! I think Gulo Gordo found that opossum in my back yard. It has been dead for some time, get rid of it.

  52. Carlos Quilez says:

    congrats man (or woman)!

  53. midge says:

    It’s been more than 4 years, hasn’t it???

    Whatever.

  54. A-Nony-Mouse says:

    Sorry to be so late adding my congratulations.
    I guess having Uranus entering your Aries HAS TO be better than having your Aries entering Uranus!!!

    Keep up the good work. We got the bastards on the run!

  55. Anon 1 says:

    I am going to expose Heraldo in the next week with some hints along the way. (Note: this could cause this person to be fired in a high profile job in local government)

    #1. This person is a male who rides a bike in Eureka.

    #2. Lives in an Apartment in Eureka.

    Heraldo. You have had your fun. This ends this week.

  59. Heraldo says:

    They forgot to mention my kayak.

  60. mresquan says:

    And that you run a business located right next door to Old Town Coffee and Chocolates.

  61. Heraldo says:

    Perhaps these are the next clues in the big reveal.

  62. the reasonable anonymous says:

    I’m not gonna hold my breath.
