SquidMeme
Not so long ago, (okay, yesterday) I was introduced to the concept of blog memes by Sam Johnson. He did one, so I thought I should do one, too, since Sam John is the shit. (He rocks, and he needs a kidney. Help the man out.) In his introduction, he mentions that he has no idea what a meme is or why they call it that, and I must admit I would not have known either except for Warren Ellis. (I'm sure Warren lives for these moments. And the booze.) There is a particularly good issue of Global Frequency featuring an alien meme - (a pattern of information which replicates or compels one to replicate it) -it infects the minds of people in a city block, (they begin to build a transmitter to get the meme to everyone else) and one of the GF people has to combat the meme with a meme of her own. It's good, JRH will back me up on this one. I would tell you what issue it's in, but then you might not read the others, and you should. Anyway, here's my meme, for your - for your whatever, that's what it's for.
What is your full name? Bag. Squid Bag. Bagged, not stirred.
What's your favorte kind of cookie? Mallomars. (Oh, they line up at the truck for the Mallomars...)
Who is America's most overrated actor? Ronald Reagan.
Name a guilty pleasure. Pushing people's buttons.
"Scrubs" or "Everybody Loves Raymond"? Scrubs, I guess. I hate Raymond. Fuck Raymond. Fuck him with a broken stick.
Name two things you can't live without. Adrenaline & conversation.
Using your first pet's name and your mother's maiden name, come up with your porn star name. Caesar Casey.
What song are you listening to right now? umi says.mp3
Name your celebrity crush. Fiona Ritchie. Aaaand Anastasia Romanov. Sorry, alright?
Favorite punchline from a joke. "Fuck you, clown!"
Who do you want to pass this meme off to? I'm gonna go with EP.
Wow. I'm the shit. I mean, I was always called "shitstick" my my ex-wife, but she was being mean, that skank. I can live with "The Shit".
By the way, I can curse here since I don't really swear on my blog. It's kinda like Transforers: The Movie when you hear Spike and Jazz scream "Holy Shit" when they fell down that hole. But, I digress.
And, since I'm on a cussing mood, when the fuck is Ellis gonna get us more G.F.? I can't do with just those twelve. I love Planetary and all, but damn. Now, see what you started? Fuck, fuck, fuckity-shit.
Whew. I finally got it out of my system. I think I can go back to my blogs now and keep it PG. Thanks for the plug, Bag. Can I call you Squid?

When I tell it at school, it has to be "up yours, clown!"

Sam - you may indeed call me Squid, or Squidbag, or G, so long as you doesn't call me Ray Jay Johnson. (You guys aren't related, I hope.) Glad you could get some swearing done - I seem to bring that out in people. We swear pretty casually at the Squidbag.
Eric - Fuck, man, you tell that joke to children? TO CHILDREN?!? You sick fuck. I mean, "up yours."
"Shine your light for the world to see..."

Since this will probably get read first, why are they killing off Captain America??? Not the headline I wanted to see on Yahoo today.
There also seems to mixed reactions to G's swearing...it's venting. Guess he comes by it honestly. I just don't do it in writing.

The beauty of having everything in the color you want. It is fantastic when people know you well enough to bring you things in your favorite color. A woman I work with, Debbie, (also one of the sweetest humans on earth) brought me a purple stapler today. She works part-time for a doctor's office and it was a promo from one of the drug pushers, oops, reps and she immediately thought of me and how I would enjoy it. She is right...my purple world continues to grow. :) I think my brain is probably purple, too.
