Hello, beautiful and amazing people. I hope you are all doing wonderful today!

It's Wednesday in Japan, and you know what that means? That's right—it's time for the Steem Monsters and SBI giveaway!!

---

To win, I require three things.

1. Tag a friend who you think will enjoy having the change of winning a free Steem Monster card.
2. Write down your Steem Monster name. Chances are it's the same as your Steemit name, but some people are using alt accounts to play the game so I'd like to be sure.
3. Write a comment.

That's it! What to comment? Ah, now there is the question. To find that out, keep reading :)

(Psst—read carefully! Last time most of the commenters didn't actually read the post and so didn't comment with what they were suppose to.)

Today's Prize: Rusty Android

One lucky winner can be the new owner of this card!

But that's not all! The winner will also receive one share of Steem Basic Income. Sweet!

(What's SBI? See @steembasicincome or here)

Rules

Today's comment: What's a favorite quote from a favorite book? Offhand, part of Ahab's rant in Moby Dick jumped out at me when I first read it years ago and has always stuck with me over the years.

All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask! How can the prisoner reach outside except by thrusting through the wall? To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there’s naught beyond. But ‘tis enough. He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be the white whale agent, or be the white whale principal, I will wreak that hate upon him. Talk to me not of blasphemy, man; I’d strike the sun if it insulted me.

I'd strike the sun if it insulted me. I love that.

Anyway, every one who comments following the rules will be added to a random drawing for the card.

I am adhering to the @ContestKings rules, meaning 👊 No Upvote, No Follow, No Resteem required. Any or all would, of course, be very much appreciated, but that is completely your call and not required to win this contest/giveaway.

End Date

7 days seems a good time limit, so we'll go with that, making the end date Jan 3rd, JPN time.

That's it. Good luck!
