Well thank you Cathy over at http://muskokariver.blogspot.com/
for my infamous "Leibster Blog Award"
Apparently according to the "lovable Rosie O'Donnell of Bracebridge" the Leibster blog is awarded ( and I quote)
"All this is in aid of the Liebster Blog Award,
which John Wiswell honoured me with this morning. I think the rules are
something like, take a photo of yourself with the sharpest object in
the house and name five other bloggers who you think aren't the sharpest
knives in the drawer. Or maybe they ARE the sharpest knives. Sharp.
Dull, wtf, I don't know. I forget and I'm way too lazy to go back to
John's and find out."
And so
I have to say that strange as it would seem, I am the sharpest thing in our house!!!
I only say that because I have just beaten Chris again in a game of Scrabble!!
Now as long term readers of this blog will suddenly realise, that this is no mean feat
basically because I am a really SHIT speller
and Chris is a PhD with little grey cells oozing out of his arse!!!!
I will give my nominations further thought!
Congratulations John....a well deserved award.
ReplyDeleteA clever twist to the award requirements, showing that you are, indeed, very sharp.
ReplyDeleteThe visual of Chris having brain cells oozing out of his bottom was just a bit too much for me, though.
You spelt 'shit' right, I think.
ReplyDeletego and sit on a sausage thomas!
ReplyDelete*imagining Tom sitting on a sausage*
ReplyDeleteHAR!!!!! Very funny! And you called me Rosie O'Donnell (Donel? Donnel? argghh.. shit! I spell as well as you do, apparently.)
Nice pix!
That doesn't conjure up a very pleasant picture of Chris!
ReplyDeleteHaha. Congratulations, John!
ReplyDeletemouse
ReplyDeleteoh yes it does..... hr just cannot cope with the banalities of scrabble
he i mean
ReplyDeleteI think Chris probably lets you win sometimes because he is kind. xxxxx
ReplyDeletecongratulations John, I agree a well deserved award.

I received two Liebster awards yesterday...what's going on...LOL I have tried to get 5 bloggers to take one from me but they all refuse:(...would you like 5 more?
ReplyDeleteYou are a writer from the heart and according to the picture, a very handsome man. With that said, please don't send this award off to me. My sharpness left me years ago.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to play with Lady M... for some bizarre reason she always wins. Cheating I guess! Congratulations on your (the pigs) worthy award.
ReplyDeleteWho needs to know how to spell anyway?
ReplyDeleteCorrect spelling is highly over rated.
Besides, that's why God made Spellcheck!
Your acceptance speech omitted the required thanks to your Mother, your agent, your production team ...
ReplyDeleteAn oversight, I'm certain.
Conga rats and ululations!
Congratualations...very well deserved!

Hi, I have followed you home from my place and am enjoying myself. Congratulations. Spelling/shmelling. What did those clever people develop spell check for anyway?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason ;-) my scrabble games always end up x-rated.
ReplyDeleteMust be something wrong with the letters in my box...
You're looking very trim and handsome this morning John!
ReplyDeleteI admire your humbleness. Jerry sometimes beats me at Scrabble, but then he refuses to use the timer and I'm usually asleep by the time he forms a word. Congratulations on your win!
ReplyDeleteLove love love the pic :-)
ReplyDeleteTerry and I play Words With Friends and I have to say I do a little dance when I beat him. Usually in the bathroom out of his sight. Complete with fist pumps. Out of his sight because he would pout.
Your photograph sits right next to the one on your side bar and I can see the loss of that stone John. Hope that cheers you up!
ReplyDeleteI have never beat Ron at Scrabble and probably never will! He sees 'things' I don't! So I guess he is 'sharper' than me. I wouldn't want the burden anyway!! lol
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the award! When I win at Scrabble it is a celebration of note :-)

Had to read this one out loud to Patrick. You sure do have a way with words kiddo!! xx
ReplyDeleteHi John

http://justbefarm.blogspot.com/
but I know you will be interested
as it is about a lovely Mummy bulldog and her 5 gorgeous puppies.

Very good picture of you! Confused about the name of the award, though. "Liebster" is German. How did that come about? And why are you supposed to pose with a sharp object for a German (?) award? Those Germans!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking so thin!
ReplyDeleteYou're looking so thin!
ReplyDeleteNice to see this passed down to you, and glad you enjoyed the gift from gracious Cathy. Not surprised someone made the "I'm sharp" joke...
