The Quasi-Official Rules of the Liebster Award
If you have been nominated for The Liebster Award AND YOU CHOOSE TO ACCEPT IT, write a blog post about the Liebster award in which you:
1. thank the person who nominated you, and post a link to their blog on your blog.
2. display the award on your blog — by including it in your post and/or displaying it using a "widget†or a "gadgetâ€. (Note that the best way to do this is to save the image to your own computer and then upload it to your blog post.)
3. answer 11 questions about yourself, which will be provided to you by the person who nominated you.
4. provide 11 random facts about yourself.
5. nominate 5 – 11 blogs that you feel deserve the award, who have a less than 1000 followers. (Note that you can always ask the blog owner this since not all blogs display a widget that lets the readers know this information!)
6. create a new list of questions for the blogger to answer.
7. list these rules in your post (You can copy and paste from here.) Once you have written and published it, you then have to:
8. Inform the people/blogs that you nominated that they have been nominated for the Liebster award and provide a link for them to your post so that they can learn about it (they might not have ever heard of it!)
2. Who should direct the movie version?
Ridley Scott: Seeing his choices in lighting, set design and camera angles on the mobile home would be fascinating.
3. Who should do the musical score for the movie?
The Puppini Sisters.
4. Please tell a favorite joke (keep it tasteful, thank you).
[ insert joke here ]
5. What book should everyone read?
I'm gonna go with Animal Farm. It would be imprudent to elaborate at this time.
6. What obscure movie is worth tracking down?
There are many, but the 1916 version of 20,000 leagues under the sea is surprisingly good.
7. Do you have a battle song, i.e., a tune that you hum, sing or stomp your feet to while on the way to a difficult day at work or an unpleasant appointment?
No. But upon refection, the Benny Hill theme might serve to reduce tension.
8. What fictional character do you particularly identify with?
Walter Mitty I'm afraid.
9. Which mode of literature do you find most congenial: comedy, romance (in the Arthurian, high-fantasy sense), tragedy or satire?
Romance ( In the Arthurian Sense)
10. Who is a writer you once thought highly of but have since outgrown?
David Webber
11. What neglected writer, composer or performer deserves rediscovery?
Marguitte Harrison, a producer who's filmography is sparse, but who was a fascinating person people should know more about.

Thank you very kindly! I will attempt to answer in the near future. (I will not attempt to leave a smiley on this comment.)

I just put it out there in case anyone else was having weird formatting issues with copy/paste text.

But it wouldn't be an official award post, I'm too iconoclastic for that. Yeah, that's it....

I prefer my smilies to be non-graphical. That's one obscure fact. 10 to go.
Lemmie try the questions:
1: The number of states you have visited.
Haven't counted. I drove cross country from Virginia to Washington, partially through Canada when I moved here. In my life I've been up and down both coasts. And Nevada.
2: The the number of countries you have visited. See 1. Canada. I think I'm unwelcome though because I brought NiCd batteries to donate to a school.
3:What books are you reading now or are on your 'to read' pile?
I have a to-read SHELF. And a stack of unread comics about a foot high.
4: Name a hobby you have that don't involve QWERTY or DVORAK keyboards?
Woodworking (also Gardening).
5: You have 1 billion dollars. It must be spent within 3 days. The complicating factor is that it cannot be spent on any property or food for yourself. What do you spend it on? "Hello, Elon Musk? How about we advance your Moon Colony project a bit?"
6: If you had a chance to move off planet, to say the Moon, Mars or a NEO knowing it would take about 10 years to get beyond the "rustic" phase, would you?
See 5. Although, I imagine it would really screw up my Torrents.
7: If you were given (pinky under the nose) ONE MILLION DOLLARS but had to leave the US and never return...would you?
See 5. But no, I'm an American.
8: Jazz, Electronica or Symphonic Metal?
I suppose Electronica, but I really have varied tastes.
9: What period of history most interests you?
"The Golden Age of Aviation."
10:What city would you most like to visit if you had a week off?
Tokyo.
11: Which anime has the highest re-watch value for you?I rarely re-watch anything. My To-Watch list is pretty long too. Generally, I prefer to be surprised.
