What the Hell is a Meme?

    Seriously? What is a meme?  I hear the term all over the place. It seems to me that it's a term associated with blogging posts that seem to be about the author of said blog. Am I correct? Is that the case?



    If so,what do the letters stand for?  Is it an acronym? Or does it just mean 'me/ me' as in 'it's all about me'? Please someone,tell me!



   Now a little more about me. (Cause who doesn't want that?)..(Put your hand down,Honey!)



  I cannot stand English peas or cooked carrots. I do not want them on my plate. I'd prefer not to have to see them.  This is hilarious to my husband.    My hatred has (and will again, I'm sure) led me to spend twenty minutes picking little bits of orange and green out of my fried rice at the chinese place in the mall.  They have the best rice, except for that little deal where they think that carrots and peas are palatable food and won't actually harm you in way and so they add them to the rice in staggering quantities.



      Now you know.  I hate peas and carrots.  What food do you hate? Or love? Or feel friendly towards but don't want to spend a lot of time with?    Or you like but not in *that way*?

      I love cooked carrots. But don't really like beans. This caused problems the first year of my marriage when my husband accused me of being a "child" by not liking certain foods. Oh well. And I am not sure what "meme" stands for. But I know what it means.

      I like peas and carrots cooked together because they remind me of Forrest Gump and Jenny (who were like peas and carrots, according to Forrest). Lima beans on the other hand? Oy. My understanding of a meme is that they are a bunch of questions shared by bloggers. I can give them to you in order for you to answer or you can take them from my blog. Something like that anyway. Because the questions are answered by different people, they should probably be called "wewe" because in the end, they aren't just about "me." (I like your used cows picture.)

      I share your feelings toward lime beans. Only bean I can think of that is slimey. Urgh. And thank you so much for your definition of meme. We loved the cows for sale sign too,which is why we almost killed ourselves for the picture. At least our prioities are straight.

      Wow, learn something new every day. I thought 'meme' started with Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land.

      Shorty Dawkins reminds you to eat ALL your veggies if you want to grow up to be like Mom and Dad. Shorty Loves peas and carrots. And lima beans. Can't stand okra.

      Now looka here Shorty. I'll put up with a hell of a lot. I'll put up with the Cubs crashing and burning year after year. I'll put up with being a woman and having a uterus. I'll put up with the Texas heat till I can get my ass (and other assorted body parts) to New Hampshire. I will NOT put up with okra blasphemy. Okra is God's food and he doesn't appreciate your attitude, buddy.

      I heard that when Shorty went to Arkansas, and learned about dry counties and bootlegging, he ate pickled okra from the big gallon jar at the beer joint. That's how I heard the tale, anyway.
