Day 7: Competition

Today's supper: Osso Bucco with Wild Mushrooms in Garlic and Tomato sauce

I would like to congratulate Julian Farod on having correctly identified the western quote.  All the more impressive as I happen to know he is not of the western generation (other than vicariously through his Dad). He gets 5 bonus points in the great blogging competition.

Ah yes, you thought you were just passing an idle moment by reading this blog, I'm sorry but in this highly competitive dog eat dog world all activities need to be productive.

So how does one get points (apart from bonuses):

  2 points:  Posting a comment

  1 point:    Read the blog everyday for 1 week (You will be tested on your knowledge of the
                  week's posts)

  1 point:    If you refer to my blog on facebook (just before closing your account)
                  + 5 bonus points for actually closing your account

  1 point:   Taking a 5 minute cold shower (You need to record yourself swearing and screaming
                 during the shower to validate your point)

  2 points: Fasting on the same day as me

  1 point:   Giving me a blogging subject which I then use

  1 point:   Subscribing to my blog

  1 point:   Being the first person to read my blog in a new country (I get geographical statistics but
                  you need to claim your country)

  2 points:  Referring to my blog in your blog (other wise known as stereo-blogging)

  1/2 point: Sending me an encouraging e-mail   

All point scoring and judging is carried out by me in totally arbitrary fashion.  Any complaints and appeals will be thoroughly investigated before being ignored.

The winner will be announced on 3rd of April 2019.

In order to get you all into the spirit of the competition here is a 3 point (easy) bonus question:

Who and in which book said "My dear, I don't give a damn"

  1. Fasting should be more than two points, I think.
