A meme is considered to be a discrete idea that replicates itself, with the connotation that memes replicate themselves and are propagated by people through social and technological networks, much like both real and computer viruses.<BR/>(Coined by Richard Dawkins)<BR/><BR/>Note: Although not strictly speaking a 'blog specific' term, meme is very widely used in the Blogosphere (qv).<BR/><BR/>There is some more information <A HREF="http://www.memecentral.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A>, and examples of blog memes <A HREF="http://thedailymeme.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A>. (Some are better than others.) Blog memes tend to be things like "list four places you'ved lived, four jobs you've had, your four favorite books, and your four favorite movies." My feeling is that the questions themselves are often boring or silly, but that the answers that people give can reveal a lot about them, or nothing about them, as they wish. It offers a platform for talking about other things in your blog. Like, otherwise, there is no way in hell that anyone would know about my phobia. Hmmmm...maybe I should take it down.Abacaxi Mamaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604184268628243496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-1146236689071257522006-04-28T11:04:00.000-04:002006-04-28T11:04:00.000-04:00I don't not do memes -- like you, I've just never ...I don't <B>not</B> do memes -- like you, I've just never been tagged before. Thanks!!!<BR/><BR/>This one is pretty long though, so I don't know if I have the zitzfleisch to get through it all. Maybe I'll work on it in pieces. The bigger issue may be that the categories are uninteresting (though your responses are interesting) and/or more personal than I am willing to get on my not-really-anonymous blog.BZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242965196421853025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-1146235108723166572006-04-28T10:38:00.000-04:002006-04-28T10:38:00.000-04:00also, what the hell's a meme? i can't get the pag...also, what the hell's a meme? i can't get the page to load.Ruby Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802936303861061783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-1146235035913701852006-04-28T10:37:00.000-04:002006-04-28T10:37:00.000-04:00General Anna told me about the Kahlua debacle... s...General Anna told me about the Kahlua debacle... seems they started using some grape product in it.

It's not totally out. It's only out if you're a man and you look at me with my girly drink and say with a disgusted sneer, "What are you drinking? A <I>girly</I> drink?" When it's not used pejoratively, it's fine. Drynks is a great suggestion, though! I like it! (It doesn't work in a dark bar, though, now does it?) (How much time do I spend in dark bars? Not much.)<BR/><BR/>I thought Kahlua from Mexico was still kosher, but the CRC website (I think that's what I linked to in this post) disagrees.Abacaxi Mamaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06604184268628243496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11850330.post-1146164293241349292006-04-27T14:58:00.000-04:002006-04-27T14:58:00.000-04:00So "girly drinks" are out?

How about "pro-feminine drinks"? or in the spirit of "womyn," perhaps "drynks"? <BR/><BR/>;)<BR/><BR/>PS. you can get Kahlua from overseas such that it's considered kosher... (this is one of those "magic Rabbi powers" issues as far as I'm concerned - sort of like how certain scotches are only kosher if you're in the UK...)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491386537225283381noreply@blogger.com
