Meme Me Me Me Me Me
A View from the Waterfront started the whole thing. Ten clicks later it was Tom Asaker from A Clear Eye who passed it to Logic + Emotion who passed it to Paul McEnany of popular advertising blogs HeeHaw Marketing and Beyond Madison Avenue. Paul passed it to me.
What am I blathering about? Well, meming, actually. Paul memed me. I've been memed.
Here's how it works, I am now obliged to tell the entire world 5 things that the very few people know about me and then pick (condemn?) five more bloggers to do the same thing. This will, I presume, eventually create a long chain of links that will connect literally every blogger on the planet. Then we'll all es=plode.
Here goes:
- I sold telephone books door-to-door in Prague, Czechoslovakia for a year just after the Soviet Empire collapsed. After that I got a job as an Account Guy on Coke at McCann Erickson Prague.
- I was in a TV promo for a Late Night Show called "Creature Feature" when I was six. But I was wearing a Steve Austin Six Million Dollar Man mask so nobody knows. I got to keep the mask - which broke after eight minutes on Halloween night.
- Speaking of milion dollar men, billionaire Dave Filo (the 74th richest man in the world) owes me $100.00 for winning a design contest. He still hasn't paid me.
- I sometimes lie and tell people that I had a job as a limo driver for the Queen of Malaysia. In fact, she was only one of several Queens of Malaysia. I just like the other way better.
- This blog is the first non-work endeavor that I've been able to stick with for any period of time. So far, nearly two years.
I'm sure there are other, more interesting things. But as I have been informed, things about me can only be so interesting to someone who isn't me. Now for my victims of choice. I haven't been as social around the blogosphere as Paul.
1) Michael Rolph of Leverage Blog.
2) John Wells of Mocommonsense.
3) Susan Oppelt of AdCandy.
4) David Burn of Adpulp.
5) Fish at Really Small Fish.
Now then. I did a little clicking and found out that there are actually rules to this thing (which most people in the chain didn't follow or know about). This harbormaster in Valdez named Alan (hey, Alan, where were you on March 24th, 1989?) in Alaska who runs a Boating Safety Blog started this chain (the eight such chain as I understand it). So if anyone has comments for him, go here and speak. Alan says that there are many reasons to participate in this but fails to name any of them. Well, lots of link love anyway. Happy Holidays folks.
Stumble It!
