An Award, A Non-Award And A BlogFest That Doesn't Exist.

To my utter amazement, I have been bestowed the above award,  yes, it's, "The New Slightly Enhanced LIEBSTER AWARD", not to be confused with the, Lobster Award, I mean, the "Liebster Award".  Our slightly eccentric friend, Rob, over at, ...The Slightly Eccentric Diary of Rob Z. Tobor...has graced me with his own, unique award.  Rob, I'm thrilled, honoured and I wish I'd prepared a speech.  

If you haven't visited Rob's blog, please do so.  It's often surreal, clever and basically confuses my last two brain cells.  

Now there aint no rules, as such.  Okay, I really should pass on this award so others can then pass on this award and so on and on and on until the whole planet has this new slightly enhanced version of the Lobster, the Liebster Award.  I was told I can do as I wish with this award.  Bidding will soon start on eBay.  Thank you, Rob, you are the bestest.

So for no reason whatsoever, I bestow the award onto the following bloggers.  All of you, yes the millions of starstruck fans who visit this site.  Grab the photo and think of ...The Slightly Eccentric Diary of Rob Z. Tobor...

Now looky here, y'all!  The above photo is of a cat.  I can deal with that.  It's actually the photo from an extraordinarily special NON-AWARD, dedicated to an elite few.  The elite few has been whittled down to one.  Nothing liking being whittled.  Well, I 'wood' say that.  Ha ha, gosh, comedy bloggers, take note.

Anyhoo, the NON-AWARD has been carefully, thoughtfully,.lovingly created for me, yes me, just me!  I announce to you that I'm the recipient of the Sad Oddity, sorry, I announce to you that I'm the recipient of the "SADOTY" aka "Super Award Dodger Of  The Year", NON-AWARD.  

 Oh yeah, there are rules to follow.

 1. I must never pass it on.

 2. I must never reveal ANYTHING about myself.  Penalties are heavy if I do.

 3. No Linkbacks are allowed.  Ever.

 4. It self-destructs almost immediately after being claimed.  Stand back.

 I think non-congratulations are in order for me.  In the true spirit of this NON-AWARD, I will not make mention of who bestowed this NON-AWARD on my good self.  Thus, absolutely no mention of, C. LEE McKENZIE!

    That is one scary kitty. I wouldn't talk much about it, either. Ha!

    Congratulations on your award and non-award! May the sun on your shoulders and it rain only at night between the hours of 2 and 6 am. Happy trails and all that!

      Hi Robin,

      Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar isn't too thrilled with the cat either.

      Congratulations and non-congratulations would be in order. Me thinks. Sunshine on my shoulders and rain in the early morn. Happy trails to you....

    Hi Gary - poor cat - looks like it's been through the washer backwards and then combed through a hedge - wonderful representation though.

    Then that nothing to do ... cept write about it! Excellent of Rob to award you the nothing award .. oh oh the SADOTY award.. on a hot day that is exactly what you need .. I love the art work too ..

    Looks like another hot day in Award-Non-award land .. of Liebster fun ... gosh it was hot going to Oxford yesterday! I was glad of the sea breezes once home!

    Happy sunny days .. Hilary

      Hi Hilary,

      Poor cat and how did it get stuck representing a NON-AWARD...Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, is not amused, or is it amused.

      Our friend, Rob, is one heck of a talent. And he created his alternative award in a way that represents my ideals of awards. Not for self-recognition, but with just kind intentions. SADOTY is a NON-AWARD is shall either cherish or not cherish. I have no idea :)

      It was so hot I ended up looking like a Liebster, um Lobster. Oxford can get hot at the best of times. I remember one Friday night and these Uni students were..anyway... Enjoy the sea breezes. That's for shore.

      Hi Rob,

      Kind sir, thank you :) Your unique alternative award encapsulates the ideals I share. Having you show the true spirit of a sharing, caring blogging community, is most encouraging. You should receive an award for creating your award and commenting on here in regards to the award you created and thinking that I deserve an award for mentioning your award and even the NON-AWARD.

      We should have a non-party, blog party, blogfest, blog hop, with reflection posts about reflection posts about the non-party, blog party, blogfest, blog hop.

      Jolly good! We are indeed confused by all this hot, sunny weather. Thank you, Rob.

    THESE are MY kind of RULES!!! LOVE IT!

    "Oh yeah, there are rules to follow.

    1. I must never pass it on.

    2. I must never reveal ANYTHING about myself. Penalties are heavy if I do.

    3. No Linkbacks are allowed. Ever.

    4. It self-destructs almost immediately after being claimed. Stand back."

      Hi Caren,

      Absolutely! This makes it so much easier. Although the last rule does cause some slight concern! :) A good weekend to you.

    I think someone put Penny up to this non-award conspiracy. Did you forget a belly rub or something?

      Hi Jeremy,

      I think a good response might have been to smile and run as fast as you can! :)

    I always knew you were one of the elite few, but I promise not to spread the word around too much. And meanwhile, I'm moving back before that non-award blows up! :O

    Your subtle irony is much appreciated :)))...I am too very tired of blog hops, and blog awards and such...the truth is that they really do bring people together, but some of them are very weird...kisses. This one is very nice and I congratulate you for it.

      Hi Petronela,

      Me doing subtle irony? Next thing you know I will end up doing a blog hop! No, I say, no! :) There is also another truth about blog hops and blog awards. Some only create blog hops, especially, because they are trying to accumulate followers and draw attention to themselves. Cynical moment over. You are also correct that it can bring people together for the right reasons of sharing and caring :)

      Thank for thinking this is nice. As for me, I'm totally confused about it or not confused about it, I state rather confusingly!

      A lovely weekend to you.

      Hi Robyn,

      The origins of the NON-AWARD, lurked in the mind of a superstar celebrity writer and of course, I made no mention of her on my posting, because that would break the rules. Would I break the rules, well yes and no.

      Un-thanks for the non-congratulations and un-thank you for a very merry unbirthday!

      Gary :) x

    I'm sorry, I missed your kitty award. Or non-award? Or is it an un-award? You have been un-awarded!

      Hi Diane,

      Apologies not required. A kitty NON-AWARD is officially un-awarded to me! Un-thank you very much!

      The comments have all self-destructed and this posting no longer exists!.........

I do try to comment back to each commenter individually. However, I might have to shorten my replies or give a group thank you. That way, I can spend more time commenting on your blogs. Thank you and peace, my friend.
