You're it!

OK, many it's some kind of bizarre peer pressure in the anonymity of the web or who knows what, but I'm actually playing blog tag. Some folks I would have tagged have already been tagged and other blogs are so focused that the bloggers surely wouldn't play the game, and so on. But here's a group of bloggers who might play and who would surely give interesting answers, in alphabetical order:
Just for the record, to quote the Ridger, "Certainly you don't have to participate! I threaten no supernatural reprisals; this isn't a chain letter."

I'm happy to do it. Prompts like this help immensely when I'm struggling for a post topic.

Thank you for tagging me! I know this sounds absolutely pathetic (considering I'm in the world's most beautiful city), but I've been feeling somewhat uninspired to post lately. This is exactly what I needed.

Two takers ... more than I actually expected. Thanks to both ofyou.

Sorry, Herr Verbe. I don't do memes anymore. Partly because I don't think these things really are "memes." "Blog tag" is a much better name. And partly because I think that what "meme" should really refer to is the spread of a new word or language usage or thing like "word verifictionary." My failed attempts to achieve that type of meme have left me depressed and bitter.

No problem of course. I actually didn't expect ANY participation. Two (really good) responses out of give exceeds expectations -- imagine scoring on 40% of shots in hockey. Even The Great One couldn't do that.

I may post on 'meme' -- the use in that post from a quote from the earlier post and that usage still sound very odd to me, even though I've seen it a lot by now.

Have a fine pastry and a coffee and the bitterness will pass, I hope.
