Tired of logging on first thing Friday morning only to see that the Mojo Friday diary already has 1000+ comments?
Tired of people in more easterly time-zones having all the fun, and hogging all the mojo?
Tired of the Mojo Friday page being so huge and bloated by the time you see it that it brings your browser to its knees, thus preventing you from joining the fun?
Well, I am! So, I christen this the Inagural Edition Mojo Friday -- West Coast Edition diary!
This is no different than the other Mojo Friday diary, but provides a time-shifted alternative for left-coasters who can't be bothered to drag our sorry butts out of bed early enough to get in early on the regular Mojo Friday diary. Same rules apply:
Mojo Friday Guideline
If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
You don't have to comment to recommend.
You can't steal TexDem's idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 300, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo...

Mojo Friday Goals
A. At least 300 different commenters and 1000 comments by 1:30 PM PST and 1500 by 5:00 PM PST Friday Night that it's posted.
B. 100 recommends for each comment, at least.
C. Stay on Recommend List at least five hours (this requires some strategic planning by you guys, refer to guideline #3)
D. At least 200 diary recommends. 300 would be better, spread the word.
E. And always, fun fun fun.
F. Have at least 75% average participation rate as seen <somewhere> in the Mojo Friday West Coast Edition Postgame Show by <whoever volunteers first>. Hey, I can't do everything for you...
G. Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation.
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)

[Cribbed, utterly, utterly, utterly without shame, from TexDem. Don't go seceding on us, man!]
UPDATE: The thought occurs that it may take a week or two for this idea to catch on. That's ok. I'll keep trying, so please make a mental note to check for it next week.
