So I was wondering what this fucking "Liebster" Blogger award is. I get email sometime ago, informing me I'd attained the award of "Leibster" for my blog and that I should check it.
Well it sounded German to me. Which of course would mean it was American. Of course it would be American because because nobody in their right minds outside of actual Germany would want to sound German. Perhaps the Austrians, Swiss, Luxembourgians and Lichtensteinians might be happy sounding German. Only cars and sausages and perhaps tennis stars should ever sound German.
Well, I heard today from a woman who is clearly the hottest woman alive, but won't admit it. She told me that the award was for people with only a small number of blog-followers.
Well that's not going to advantage sexist, scary, anarchist, barely legal (nooo) generally the type of blogger your mommy would have liked to think you'd ever like to read regularly. Like @ItsHoosierDaddy. Exactly.
So then I found out from this voluptuous correspondent that to receive my award I'd have to answer several questions about myself.
So, it's with deep regret, just as Jean-Paul Sartre refused to accept his Nobel Prize in 1964, I also shall be forced to decline acceptance of this great honour.
I've always refused official distinctions and I do not wish to become 'institutionalized'.
I also fear that acceptance of the Leibster Blog Award™ would limit the impact of my writing.
Charles Gonzo - Superstar.
PS. This post is dedicated to its star. You know who you are...CG.

Dare I say it prof but you're already institutionalised or else why teach in an academic institution.Now you could go freelance but then you'd have to give up all those little perks and allowances like holiday and sick pay without which life becomes a little tedious.Let's face it you're a prisoner of the state whether you like it or not and while I admire your rebellious spirit I fear this blog will continue to be an outlet for your frustrations for some time to come.What different worlds and mind sets we inhabit.If nothing else at least I've beaten the system even if it's at the expense of conscience. We all betray something or someone at some point in our lives. It's the price of personal freedom. You're a decent bloke prof and I shouldn't be leading you astray with thoughts like this. To hell with it. I'm sure you'll get there in the end.
Good stuff @bencorde. Thanks. Best wishes, Charles.
Sir, I must point out that it is an honorific and you should feel happy to be selected to join those other fine ladies and gentlemen that have went before you. Even if you aren't a lady or gentlemen it is presumed so as tradition dictates and even if we don't believe a word of it we all go along with the aforementioned program as if indeed it is gospel because tradition demands it. Congrats on receiving attention from those fine ladies and gentlemen who sit on the board and pick deserving names out of a hat for "special mentions". You have certainly earned it Charles.
So give it all the attention you would normally give such things on a fine weekend such as this. So I must congratulate you on having albeit a small, but rabidly loyal group of followers who devour your words like their wives meatloaf. But please remember, if you put gravy on meatloaf it is salisbury steak and Not meatloaf, the distinction is important, as far as distinctions go. Bill
Nice one, Bill. Thanks. Good bloke. Also, I never knew that, yet have often wondered about the nature of Salisbury Steak, since I heard about it in an early South Park episode. So now, I have honestly learned something new today, thanks to you. Therefore, it's a good day. Best wishes, Charles.
I didn't expect you to do it, fuck face, (you realise I say that with affection), but I just emailed the post to everyone I know who's got a blog, just for the hell of it. I usually steer well clear of all this shite but the lovely kamajowa tagged me in it, and I usually tell her to eff off when she does stuff like that, but this time I thought, hey, what the, I'll do it. I soon wished I hadn't because it was WAY time consuming.
I won't do it again. Part of the reason I sent you the email as well was to see what you would say about it, of course.
You might have liked to answer the original 11 questions I wrote, btw, but then I made them more people-friendly and blog orientated. Doing this meant I had to rein in my usual obnoxious self, which is one reason why I won't be doing these daft things ever again.
Haha, so you nominated Charles too. At least he acknowledged you, emmm sort of. I nominated him awhile back and would also like to call him a f*&k face cuz he never said boo to me. :P So in response I've quit reading his blog...except for this once.
@kamajowa
Yeah Karen, I'm sorry for not getting back to you when you started spamming me with these "grow your blo" gimmicks. I do still love you though. Amd @TerryTyler4 who is awesome in SO MANY ways. It's so lovely too to have my brothers @Bencorde & @ItsHoosierDaddy Bill pearce here, all on one comment thread. We just need @TheaDora7 & @ElectaGraham here and we'll be like a family together on Christmas Day. I love social networking. You guys make my life so much richer. Oh, I'm feeling all emotional now, you fuckers...
