I Got Meme Tagged by Ettarose-EdgeOfSanity
Welcome to the first and last time I will ever respond to a Meme Tag. The only reason I’m doing this one is that I really like ettarose and her blog ettarose-edgeofsanity.com. The main reason I won’t do another one is because most of my readers are NOT bloggers and when they see something like this they go, “what the…?”
OK, let’s do this thing. Make sure you read it all because I have to tag 8 bloggers and one of them could be YOU! If you ARE one of the lucky tagees, copy the following set of rules and paste them on your blog and follow them.
RULES:
1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
3. At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment on their blog and tell them they have been tagged, and to come back and read your blog for the whole story.
OK, here’s my 8 facts/habits:
1. I watch cartoons every night–even if I don’t come in until 2:00 a.m.
2. I have a Bowflex machine in the garage but so far the only exercise I’ve gotten out of it is walking around it to get to the car.
3. I am a Rare Book expert.
4. I create original songs on-the-fly which I then sing to my cats…and they love it!
5. Artistically speaking, I believe THIS is the single most perfect music video ever created.
6. I live in Southern California wine country.
7. I can name most of the birds you see in the state of Wisconsin without looking them up in a bird book.
8. I once built a squirrel feeder that looked like a fire truck and I designed it so the only way a squirrel could get to the seeds was to sit in it like he was driving it.
So, who shall I tag:
1. The first one that I absolutely MUST tag is my friend TheMrs at Ringtailed Squealers because she sent me a tag once and I didn’t respond. Now she can “not respond” to this one and we’ll be even.
2. Since I haven’t seen him around here for quite a while I am going to tag Static at Krapsody just to let him know I’m still alive.
3. My extremely funny friend Jinksy at Extremely Funny
4. Jenn at Cabbages and Kings because her blog will soon be super popular and I want documented proof that I was one of the first people to know about it.
5. Consider this a plug for one of my favorite blogs SciFiDrive. I doubt he will respond, but if you like vintage Science Fiction as much as I do, head over there, right now!
6. Paisly at ….Why Paisley? because her writing is so inspiring and I need at least one classy blog on this list.
7. Lobo at Predator Press to show my support for mentally deranged bloggers.
8. The funniest person alive: Don at It’s a Funny Thing…
Check others on my blogroll to see who would have made this list, but didn’t because of the numerical cut-off point.

Of course, you know this means you are morally obliged to accept a meme I get dumped on me in the future..
(And I’ll save it up till I get a good one.)

Well, I guess I know what I’ll be posting about this coming week, then! Thanks for the support of “Cabbages,” Mr. Rooster– even if it does involve a meme.

[...] William from DeadRooster.com slapped me across the back of a head with a meme. What’s a meme you ask? Apparently, Its the Internet’s version of Truth and Dare [...]

As you can probably tell from the pingback, I have posted a reply to the meme.
Unfortunately (or fortunately for some), I killed it. Sorry.

@Jinksy,
You did it the smart way. I wish I would’ve thought of that.

@Lobo,
But, I clearly indicate in the post that I don’t use it!

@Jillian,
Wine country is beautiful this time of year and the orange blossoms are enhancing the whole experience with a wonderful fragrance. Not many places better than this right now.

I don’t care what any of you Stick in the mud types say. I think this was fun and another part of us gets to be told. Things we don’t always say on our blogs. William, loved it and I bow to you for doing this. I promised you a link love story with a dead rooster saving a heroine and you shall have it. Since reading is my one passion, I am glad to know that you must also love books to be an expert on rare ones. Great job!

@ettarose,
Thanks! I had a lot of fun doing it.
I have always loved books. Ironically, many of the books I deal in are far too valuable to read.

Well, responded to the meme, sir NoLongerLiving Male Pullet. The pleasure of the meme is not, I believe, in writing the meme. No. It is in memeing up online friends who don’t want to be memed up just as much as YOU didn’t.

At least this meme doesn’t involve meerkats!

Static! Good to see you’re still alive!
I would NEVER involve meerkats. What kind of guy do you think I am!

While I’m delighted to see this meme (that I got about a week ago) is still alive. Even better, almost every person that I have seen complete states that this is the last meme they will ever do. I’m thinking about launching an ‘ENCORE MEME’ is a few weeks that will … well, details are still being worked out. Cheers!

Cartoons every night? LOL! This meme was most interesting.

AH ha… I see how you are - too good to do MY meme. I may just have to do this meme so I can be targetted to blow off another meme if you ever do another one, which you probably won’t because you’ll forget.. that… you….. ah, to hell with it.

@TheMrs,
Hey, the only reason I tagged you was so that you could “not respond” to it. I was trying to be nice (and maybe get myself off-the-hook at the same time).

It’s all Etta Rose’s fault. =P
