Alas, Lamentable Torment and Satanic Torture

I’ve been tagged by another stupid meme thing. Lordy I hate those things. If I didn’t like Chris Brady so much I’d just completely ignore it- but my duty to my friends is limitless and alongside the fact that I never criticize them publicly, ever, I also comply with their requests- even when they are clearly inspired by the smarmy pits of hell. Like memes.

So here goes:

Rule 1) List three reasons for your blogging.
Rule 2) List these rules.
Rule 3) Tag three others with the thread.

Concerning 1- I blog because (in this order of importance) a) it annoys some people; 2) it makes others happy; 3) I want to. [N.B.- and I numbered them with 'a' and then 2 and 3 to annoy even more some of those I blog to annoy].

Concerning 2- Ok this makes no sense at all and I’m not falling for Doug’s cryptic / Catholic / Anglican reading. Sometimes, Doug, sense can’t be granted to senselessness, no matter how much we wish it could be. ‘List these rules’… What rules? Who invented this witless meme anyway? He or she needs a stern thrashing.

Concerning 3- No- I refuse. I’d rather suffer the penalty of the broken chain letter than force some unsuspecting person to endure attempting to understand rule 2 above.

There- that’s what I think of memes. I don’t play by the rules. And I don’t ever intend to. So there. [Insert a tongue stuck out in your direction at this juncture].

  1. Jim, I am humbled and grateful that you think enough of me to reply to this meme. Of course, your position against said memes, however, means that you will now receive every meme that everyone passes along. (See Concerning 1b)

  2. But I won’t be responding to them! Unless they are from friends. And mercifully I have an extraordinarily SMALL number of those. Thank heaven. ‘The more friends, the more trouble’ the good book says. Or should.

  3. Even now I am dreaming up an evil meme about Zwingli (Laughs maniacally)
