The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns: Dang It!

Support This Site

This may be the one and only time I fill out one of these blogging chain mail things. Are they called memes???

Anyhow, here's the hit list:

Remove the blog at #1 from the following list and bump every one up one place; add your blog's name in the #5 spot; link to each of the other blogs for the desired cross pollination effect.

1. writingfromthehip
2. bluestocking
3. colleenscorner
4. canadianexpatriatesblog
5. samanthaburns

Next: Select four new friends to add to the pollen count. (No one is obligated to participate and anyone can play if they want to).

I'm not one to subject others to this torture, lol, but I played along simply because I thought of some good answers. It must have taken me half the day to finish this thing, and my answers are on the next page.

How about this, if you choose to fill out the questionnaire, let me know in my comment section and I'll go check out your answers; don't forget to tag four of your own friends, too.

that's less a meme and more of a pyramid scheme.

just don't give them your phone number, and surely don't let them schedule you for a time to talk with one of their representatives in your home, at your leisure.

next thing you know, you'll have a time-share in the Bahamas...

oh my... that's one comprehensive meme!! If I ever get around to trying to answer all those questions, I'll tell ya ... in the meantime, will copy the questions (and this link) to a draft on my own blog... but don't hold your breath! *grin!*

it's a good way to get some added traffic, but in looking at the types of blogs listed, they'd be crazy to put me on their blogroll. I'm kind of vulgar.

Do you know of any other "memes" with politically incorrect pottymouths circulating.

I'll hook you up with some traffic by putting you on there as a favor.

Not a bad meme, had to embelish a bit to get more humour value out of it. Check mine out. And before you do, yep, I'm a dork. That is all.

This meme was my second blog post. Nice way to introduce oneself. But that's all it's good for. That and finding out people's quirks.

Memes are kind of like the computer virus of the blog community. LOL Thanks for participating, Sam. :)

Dude, it has been *so* long since I have had halva. I don't even think that I have seen it since I left Canada. That is some seriously good stuff!

PS. It took me forever to fill all of that out as well. I was thinking that it would only be about five minutes, but it certainly was not!

Chocolate a bad habit? I think not!
