The Versatile Blogger Award

The Versatile Blogger Award. Pour moi? Well who knew? A blogging award after only five posts? Must be that new cologne (no, I don't wear cologne).
Although, now I have to pay my dues by linking back to the person who sent this my way, by outlining seven things about myself, and by rewarding five other bloggers with this same award.
So first up, a big thank you to Nicole Storey for passing this award on, it was very kind of her. Pssst, Nicole: I'll get the money and that "special object" to you as soon as it won't look at all suspicious in any way whatsoever, okay? Oh wait, inside voice!
Seven things you may or may not know about me (and which may or may not be true):
1. In the movie This Is Spinal Tap, I played a small part as a bass control button that only went to 9.
2. Koalas utterly terrify me.
3. Seeing the colour turquoise on a traffic sign makes me go temporarily deaf in one ear.
4. A distant relative once owned Stonehenge and lost it in a bet over how many toothpicks someone could hide in the Grand Duchess of Doncaster's cleavage.
5. I secretly wrote the major Shakepeare tragedy King Lear. Shhhh... I'm actually not proud of the typos in that one.
6. I once planned to gather a harem formed entirely of slightly irritable soccer moms. Sadly, at the last minute, I discovered a local bylaw prohibiting it.
7. Eerily, my fingerprints match up perfectly with those of actor Robert De Niro. As a result, I am considering framing him for a heinously spectacular crime, if only for some of his disappointing late-career roles.
Five worthy recipients:
Michael Edward ("Ed") McNally: Sable City
Yvonne Hertzberger: Yvonne Hertzberger
Patricia Carrigan: Patricia Carrigan
John Claude Smith: The Wilderness Within
Chuck Wendig: Terrible Minds

David, David.. thank you for such a wonderful.. Honor? Oh and "It goes to eleven" (Spinal Tap reference) I do so love movie trivia. I am so sorry about the Koalas, I'll try to keep Kenny on a leash when we visit. Lastly, I'd love to be in on the De Niro caper... I've got some wonderfully devious ideas.
Your friend and partner in crime,

Hi Patti, yes, you got the reference, lol. Yes, please, keep Kenny away from me... and I'd love to hear your ideas. ;)
Take care and keep up the slightly nefarious work,
David
Well waddeya know - me, an award. I'm, well, flummoxed. Oh yea - and thrilled of course! Thanks David.
Now - seven things you likely don't know about me.
I have a strange sense of humour - no one gets it.
I love to sing - and have a decent voice.
I can't remember names to save myself.
I hate to talk about myself.
I love computers and networking. (yea, right. lol)
Both my kids have my red hair.
I can't wait to become a grandma but my kids aren't cooperating. :-(
