I had something unusually witty planned for today’s posting, but my internet friend, Linda in Ohio tagged me with a MeMe. Please do not ask me the definition of the word MeMe, because I don’t know. I believe it is French for disjointed but I am not all that sure.
The last time I was tagged on one of these things I didn’t play because I don’t really think anyone cares to find out these obscure bits of trivia about me … most people just check out the poster on the wall down at the Post Office. However, my CPA informs me that my 307K retirement fund is doing marginally well, and I have some spare time, so this time I will make an exception.
So, onto the rules, as I understand them.
Meme Terms and Conditions:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Mention the rules on your blog.
3. List six unspectacular things about you.
4. Tag six other bloggers by linking to them.
If you do not want to participate, that is understandable and are not required to participate.
Six Unspectacular Things About Me:
1. I love NASCAR, George Straight, Vince Gill, long slow wet kisses and a woman’s husky laugh in the dark. Microwave popcorn and Chicken and Dumplings Y’all.
2. I enjoy biking and being outdoors, nature, photography, puppies, parrots and donkey’s crack me up … Most everyone agrees that I am too verbose and talk way too much.
3. Children amaze and amuse me, my granddaughter has my heart, I absolutely detest people who are not handicapped parking in spaces reserved for those less fortunate.
4. I have drank an ocean of coffee, late afternoon is the best part of the day, make use of a spelling checker often, use Dial Soap, don’t you wish everyone did? If offered a ride on the Space Shuttle I would gladly go in a Hong Kong second.
5. I Secretly yearn to slap Judge Judy upside her obnoxious head, Ugly Betty is the dumbest show of all time on television, Reality TV sucks. I don’t watch professional football because I know when they all huddle up, they are talking about me. The best part of writing on the internet is when you get email from Japan.
6. One thing most people do not know about me is that I am extremely good at picking up the seat, but rather lax at putting it back down.
Whew, that was way too difficult; it certainly isn’t my bag doing retrospective pieces on myself. Now I am to tag six other bloggers. Contrary to popular opinion I am not known for my legions of friends in the bloggin’ community, so this was kind of a stretch for me. As most of my close personal friends are not bloggers this chore was rather daunting, but I did find six candidates that I feel are more than interesting:
1. Author … Jen is an fascinating gal who lives idyllically on the shores of the ocean in England, a witty and attention-grabbing writer, motivator, counselor, cat, art and music lover and generally speaking all around nice girl.
2. Crackerboy … DRACO DORMIENS NVNQVAM TITILLANDVS … Bill is a gifted photographer and social commentator who resides in Florida, an environmentalist and educator of nature, well schooled and most likely to find this trivial and not all that interesting, but I decided to give him a shot anyway.
3. Locomotive Engineer … My friend Sam in Nevada, who is a locomotive engineer for the BNSF Railway, photo journalist and blog writer. Running up and down the mainlines of America, I don’t know if he will be able to find the time or not.
4. Brother John .. John is a computer programmer, webmaster, gifted and talented person who lives in Pennsylvania, very helpful at almost any problem, grower of crystals and a different and unique sort of guy. He writes and help maintain his sisters web page Eydie & Sammy, I don’t know if he would be able to find the time or not.
5. Radio Girl … Kelsi is a working DJ and radio producer in Canada, outdoors person, photo journalist and blogger. She is witty and has a good persona, a fun person to know and chat with.
6. BetMe … A very funny Domestic Engineer and working gal in the Houston Texas area, I am not sure if she wants me to divulge her first name or not, so we will leave it at that. She is a gifted, wacky writer of humor and other things, another talented blog host.
There you go, you has been tagged! You can play or pass, the option is yours.
Come back on Monday – I’ve got something I just know will tease and tantalize you beyond measure, and then again, maybe it won’t.
You know how Mondays go … Right?

Good job, buddy – wow that’s alot of unspectacular stuff! I totally agree on the Judge Judy idea – just her voice raises my blood pressure to the boiling point. Cheers, Linda
========================================
Now what? You link your MeMe to my MeMe and that is that? Don’t worry the kids are in bed. I guess we just sit back and wait for the other MeMe’s to post their MeMe so we can all be one big happy whatever? Judy Judy March 2008

The idea is it works much like a chain letter only it doesn’t come back to us (thankfully, because I can’t come up with 6 more things about me). Like left-over soda, it will soon fizzle out and we’ll all go back to our usual postings. Or we can just comment back and forth…nah, it’s past my bedtime. Cheers, Linda
=================================================
Okay, I will see what transpires.
