Surrender to the Meme

All right, all right! I give up! Maggie memed me first. When I didn't immediately respond, I got Pointed Email. And comments. Then BillT has to join the chorus (fragile ego, bub? me?) , and Barb ... Barb! I thought you were my buddy! I suppose if three different people meme me I'll cooperate. But I will complain the whole way!

Ahem. Where was I? Oh yeah. The meme.

-Sgt. B. Let's keep this incestuous multi-tagging in the family, hmm?
-Carborundum. If ANGCOM will let him.
