Post a Comment On: A Nod to Nothing

I refuse to mail meme. It deprives everyone of the ability to look at the tags on your posts in their aggregator and just choose not to read the posts labeled "meme" and "another reason for you to f-ing hate me." Unfortunately, I still have friends that mail meme (cough, cough...Bob) and expect me to bombard family, friends, coworkers and random strangers with mail until there are so many Outlooks and Gmails flying about that it pays forward. As someone who receives what could realistically be defined as too much real email a day, I just can't bring myself to engage in that sort of tomfuckery. I post my answers to Bob's meme of four here, and I post Bob's answers as well, so he doesn't have to forward them any more (stripped of a few items so it's not personal information). Speaking of Freudian slips - Bob wrote that he watches the Weayher Channel. Awkward. I've corrected it for him.
