If Dooce Can Do It…
February 13th, 2006then I can too-write a meme that is.
A lot of people are indignant about doing memes, and blatantly refuse to play along. I understand this, because it is difficult to relinquish control of your content when it comes to blogging. For example, I like writing about diarrhea. Is there a meme in existence that talks about the Hershey squirts? No. Instead, meme’s address “interesting” stuff like your favorite vacation spot, or favorite food - b.o.r.i.n.g.
Shhh. Don’t tell anybody, but one day I’m going to write a meme. It’s going to be gross and glorious and contain questions like
- Favorite place to scratch yourself (body part and/or locale)
- Last age at which you picked your nose and ate the boogies (I suspect some of you are currently doing this)
- Location and reason for best barf-fest (w/ description of barf color and chunkiness)
- Last blog you read that made you laugh and the wet yourself, just a little
But yeah, anyway, for the purposes of today’s discussion, I will be doing a regular meme, as requested by the lovely Erin. Without further ado, let’s talk about meme, myself and I:
Four jobs I’ve had
1. Landscaper
2. Intern in the US Senate
3. Server
4. Co-ed Resident Advisor (AKA baby sitter, policeman, and body spill investigator)

Four People I am tagging
I’m kind of a rebel, so guess what meme gods? I’m not tagging anybody! *Mwa ha ha*. If anyone wants to play though, tell me and I’ll link to you, cause I’m cool like that.

I am a daily read for the Magnificent Hänni? This is my the pinnacle of my life. It’s all downhill from here. You are a daily read as well. Cause you know… I likes the green apple splatters.

I love saag paneer. Is that the same thing as palak paneer?
BTW, I enjoy reading most memes, though I must admit that I usually scan them somewtat. I think I like the shorter ones the best.

I like Spinach and I like cheese. I therefore think you should direct me to a good recipee for Palak Paneer

Server? Like a computer server? Or tennis or volleyball server?

Oh sweet irony!
I can’t beleive it, but the 4 people I had initially planned to tag (before going all James Dean on the meme) were you: Scottygee, gary, Erin and Dima.
Holy crap. That’s crazy.
—–
ScottGee - Glad you like it. Don’t worry there’s plenty of G.A.S. to go around.
Gary - I had to do some research b/c yes, I’ve sometimes seen them used interchangeably. According to this article authentic saag paneer is actually made with a variety of green leaves like fenugreen, spinach, mustard, etc, while Palak paneer is straight up spinach.
And oh man, when I initially read your post, I thought you were saying you typically scan *my* posts and that you like em when I keep it short. Scared me there. I don’t want to put off the g-man.
Erin doll - You would *love* palak paneer. The article link in my reply to gary has a recipe, but i’ll be honest, I’ve tried to make it at home and failed on several occasions. I like to order it at the Indian restaurant, or very occasionally (b/c of their high salt content) I eat the Amy’s organics version or, more authentically the TastyBite Kashmir Spinach. I think you can get both at the ‘Gay, and if not I know they carry both brands at Whole Foods.
Dima - Lol! Server as in fancy-name-for-waitress, lady.

alright… I’ll play… but I’ll throw it in HAUS-style:
four most embarrassing-slash-worst-interesting places I’ve had the craps:
1- ALL OVER DISNEY WORLD. From the restaurant in Italy (Epcot) to Cinderella’s castle.. and all of I-4 from Lake Buena vista back to daytona…. been there… crapped that.
2- In Troy’s VERY TINY studio apartment back in Seattle. On our second date.
3- Trump’s towers in NYC. dude… when I go… I go big!!!!
4- Finally… for the hardcore: at 2am in Newark Airport, in the recently cleaned so the door’s still open ladies’ room in the car rental area, WITH rhena strapped to my chest cause she was 2 months old.
It’s almost become my signature… go somewhere… leave a little behind. HAH! get it? a little behind???? oh… I really slay.

Aww yeah! I thought you might have forgotten about my request! I think it’s funny/cute that Major Payne is on your movie list.

cze-johnson carrie - *ding ding ding* - Anyone who can talk that much crap (literally!) deserves to win Comment Of The Day. I love ya girl! You’ve done the haus - and your diarrhea diatribe - real proud.
Erin - Of course I didn’t forget. I’m just a late bloomer. You know I was born two weeks late, wrong-side up and backwards, right? (True story)
