Meme (rhymes with “team”) Tagged—I’m it!

Boomer Jack ©2007 New Codgers I am enjoying my usual mug of organically & shade-grown, Fair Trade, French-Roast coffee, this fine 67ºF and rainy morning on the West End of old Saint Paul, Minnesota. The coffee is coercing my red blood corpuscles to corpuscling—a good thing, I think.

One of the many people who live in my computer, one for whom I have a great deal of respect, a valued Gentle Reader, and moreover one who actually contributed much to my Danger Bay Stories series, did the unthinkable—he meme-tagged me. He claimed it was a random selection—Uh-huh—sure it was. If I bought into that, next thing you know, I’d be offered a great deal on the Brooklyn Bridge.

People often ask, ‘What is a Meme?’ so here’s a more than a little information…’ The Daily Meme. This is one explanation, submit the word “meme” to Google, and you’ll find 339,000,000 results.

In the internet world of social networking, it could be considered a form of Push Self-Marketing, at least by one such as myself, an ageing Baby Boomer rapidly closing in on codgerdom, and more and more finding myself developing opinions on such things that might best be described as those of a curmudgeon.

This time the growing curmudgeon in me wins! Below is my response to the tag:

And I, in turn tag the following victims:

There you have it! To the abovementioned victims: You have my sincerest apologies!

  1. I feel soo much more in touch with you…like I have known you for years now. Like looking into window into you life. I can’t believe you openily share this confidential information about yourself.

    :)

  2. Bob: Oh this is too-much “Brokeback Mountain” like for me! :-D ROFLMAO

  3. I can’t believe you admired me so much and wouldn’t tell me privately, you just put it all out there for the world to see. I’m wondering, at this point, if a restraining order would be a good idea. Maintain your dignity, man!

  4. It seems he has no dignity! ;-)

  5. I truly was expecting a “Silence” trick… LOL

  6. Boomer! Have you no shame?

  7. Chris: John’s right, I have no dignity when it comes to memes.
    John: Soooo true.
    Bob: Silence? SILENCE?? With me, there’s never silence!
    Carl: Why ask? Of COURSE not!

  8. OMG – I’m still laughing at this! you are hilarious! :D

  9. Ines: You think maybe we jest?

  10. This is the best response to a meme tag ever.

  11. Maureen: ((Blush)) The comments are the best!

  12. Like Bob, this deep sharing has opened a window in my life that I never knew existed. Sort of a photo of my mind – completely blank -
    Everything you said was so elegant it beggars commentary :-D

  13. Bill: Sometimes, with enough prodding (gotbob, for instance), I’m able to wax eloquent! (I crack me up!) ;-)
