It’s Victoria Day, honoring the Queens birthday, and the end of the May long weekend in Canada. Although I am currently enjoying a mountain view in B.C., I wanted to share a bit of the culture of the mother country with you. Your assignment, should you choose to accept, will be to find and post an artistic British export on your own space and link back here for all to enjoy.
Monday MEME
I know the correct pronunciation for “meme” which incidentally means the spreading of an idea, but I like to pronounce it “me – me” because that is what meme’s are about really – yourself.
Today’s meme I found through The Daily Meme. It’s a site that collects meme ideas. A productive use of the blogosphere? Is there such as thing as a product use of blogging space? The site I found today’s idea on is BeccA’s Buzz. The blogger is a good Christian. I am a bad Catholic. Consequently if there were a hell, I would be earning air miles for my flight there with what I might be doing by lifting her idea and setting it free here. Fortunately, there is no heaven or hell. There is simply the university of the soul. Debriefing. Reeducation. And reassignment. Fun times.
Today’s rules:
Gimme Five! This meme is designed as a way to disclose information about ourselves. I create a random list of topics and you respond – think ink blot – and link back here when you are finished. You can use photos, links, songs or just respond in writing. You can also create a list of your own of 5 things that relate to the topics. Any order is fine.
1) evening wear
2) blue food
3) science fiction
4) sponges
5) plastics
Evening wear – Really depends on the time of evening but I am thinking about bed time and being a woman of a certain age, I sleep in the nude. Sorry but photographic evidence is not available.
Blue food – According to George Carlin there is no blue food:
I often wonder why there’s no blue food. Every other color in well represented in the food kingdom. And don’t bother me with blueberries; they’re purple. The same is true with blue corn and blue potatoes. They’re purple. Blue cheese? Nice try. It’s actually white cheese with blue mold. Occasionally, you might run across some blue Jell-o in a cafeteria. Don’t eat it. It wasn’t supposed to be blue. Something went wrong.
Science Fiction – the idea that aliens will look like this anywhere but in a man’s fantasy.
Sponges – I can’t see this word and not be reminded of that Seinfeld episode where Elaine discovers her favorite method of birth control, the sponge, has been discontinued and she goes on a quest to secure as many boxes of the things as she can. From then on she refers to dates by the “sponge-worthiness” because she has to ration her horde. Yeah. I didn’t think it was funny either.
Tagging? Well, like Pammy and my husband, Rob, I have my wish list. But today I would be happy if just anyone played at all.
I am not much of a team tag player which is probably why I never get tagged but I found an interesting MEME on FuelMyBlog that doesn’t require any effort beyond the ability to put links in a post.
Link 1 must be about family
Link 2 must be about friends
Link 3 must be about yourself
Link 4 must be about something you love
Link 5 can be anything you choose
Post your five links and then tag five other people.
1) Family Night
3) Me
4) Rob
5) Jasper
Normally I would tag Steven Spielberg but he’s got a premiere coming up at Cannes and probably just doesn’t have time, and Angelina and I are on the outs ’cause she doesn’t have much by way of a sense of humor these days (preggie with twins will do that to you). Since Oprah can’t admit she reads me (because it would cause a run on this site, overwhelm WordPress and make other bloggers jealous), and I really shouldn’t be name dropping anyway, I will call upon some of my trusted companions in blogging: Rob, Pammy, Girl, Uncle Keith, and Daisyfae. However, anyone can play (or not) as the moment moves them. If you do, don’t forget to post a link here for all to enjoy.
