MEMETAGGED

So M1EK hit me with a blog meme thusly:

1. Delve into your blog archive.

B. Search the archives for the 23rd post.

2. Find the 5th sentence, or closest to.

III. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions. Ponder it for meaning, subtext or hidden agendas.

C. Tag 5 more people

Well, this is post #23 on this blog, at least in its current incarnation, and the fifth sentence:

But if it’s true Vilsack really is electronically challenged, the damage is compounded.

That, however, is from a quote. This is the fourth sentence I wrote in that post:

The best quote on the matter, though, comes from last year’s unsuccessful GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Gross, in this column from yesterday: “I guess I was overqualified for the job.”

He wasn’t, but it was still a good quote.

Your turn, Harry (now that you’re posting again), Orson and Stranko (since yours is bound to be funny), Eric (just to see if you’re still reading), Vidiot (again, bound to be entertaining), and Dave (since you probably have a script that will generate this automatically).

HEAD LINES

I haven’t done one of Dr. Taylor’s Friday Fun Memes in . . . actually, I don’t think I’ve ever done one. But I’m doing ths one, because it keeps me from having to put away the dishes.

This week’s FFM challenge: name at least five lines (yes, I went a bit nuts) from TV/Movies that you always find amusing–maybe not laugh-out-loud funny, but that always amuse you.

Piece o’ cake!

1. “First of all, he’s more of a pirate than you’ll ever be.” (Dodgeball: The Movie)
2. “You’re Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago.” (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off)
3. “Eeeulch! Back to the loch with ye, Nessie!” (Groundskeeper Willie, The Simpsons, after seeing one of Marge’s sister’s dating-service videos)
4. “I got a rock.” (”It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”)
5. “What’s your name?” “Bob Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga.” “Why don’t I just call you Bob?” “Don’t know.” (Big Man On Campus)
