Meme-ification

Last week Suldog put up a post that was meant as an example of subjects upon which he could expound endlessly. Among his commentors there were two of us who actually responded with our options.

I am very glad you chose the Marx bros. Or was it just Groucho?

Scintillating and enjoyable, thank you!

Casdok said...

Wonder woman, batgirl and catwoman!!
Love it!!
And thank you for your lovely comment on my blog x

Craver Vii said...

TP always over... Atta girl!!! If I'm at the house of a friend or close relative, and they have it WRONG, I'll fix it, and then get on the soapbox. (ha ha ha...)

Craver Vii said...

Er, that would be close friend or relative, actually. Sorry for that. I just couldn't think straight, knowing that some people load their paper to dispense from under. Aaaah!

Mona said...

I wish I could have tasted Grammy's donuts!

Popeye my fav too & so is wonder woman!

Maddy said...

I am so tempted to do this but I'd have to edit at least half of it which is completely incomprehensible. I think I need a crash course in American!
Cheers

furiousBall said...

Lenny... interesting, I had you pegged as a Big Ragu kind of girl

lime said...

nyd, all the marx brothers but groucho was my favorite

casdok, and of those, catwoman was my fave

craver, i am very relieved you've got it right here.

mona, i need to find a picture of grammy making donuts so you can see.

maddy, give us the brit version

furiousball, actually you're right. i was more about the big ragu, and i wouldn't have been forever sending him for a cold shower.

Anonymous said...

Barney Rubble... really?

Rick said...

Funny post. I guess what you're saying is that you don't fit into anyone's particular category.

Keebler Elves or Pisbury Dough Boy?

Anonymous said...

sh%t...so many good answers come to mind...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

loved your responses, as always...

EmBee said...

Always enjoy your twisted satire... And WHY, WHY? Can't the rest of the world see that the t.p. must always hang OVER??? But I'm sorry, it's ALWAYS gotta be 'The Beatles' babe!

lime said...

lecram, barney is maybe not so bright but he is loyal, funny, well intentioned, not irritable, and loves his wife

rick, betty crocker ;) yes, you've got me pegged

EmBee said...

And hey, can you share that donut recipe with us?
:-)

Suldog said...

Lime, I got almost as much kick out of reading your responses again as I did in your original e-mail. Thanks for playing along so superbly!

(But, should I have expected anything less? No, of course not.)

lime said...

cooper, why thank you!

embee, i am glad we agree on the tp issue, this is critical to civilized society. the beatles, meh. whatever. i don't hate em.

lime said...

suldog, thank you for such a superb set of questions!

lime said...

embee, sadly, that was a recipe that was lost.

Logophile said...

Ok, love it.
You know how I have been accused of having Oppositional Defiance Disorder?
Yah, I bet you have it too
:p

barman said...

You know I used to work for a survey research firm and we did a lot of studies of new car buyers and poles on their political choice. One of the questions that we either asked or had our interviewers guess at was the sex of the respondent. Because of California (I kid you not) we had to have more than Male and Female for that question. Why do I get that came feeling when I look at your answers? I do enjoy the entertainment however.

Another vote for batgirl. Oh and gagging for sure on that other question.

Hey, just had an idea. I wonder if you (or someone) could turn chocolataraian into a political party. I might be tempted to vote for that.

Sock it to me… Why is it I keep seeing Goldie Hawn when you say that?

I have to depart from you here and go with Grecian Urn as I love the play The Music Man and it prominently features Grecian Urns.

Love you and your answers. Your Meme's are so much fun.

lime said...

logo, whatever could you mean by that? how ODD!

barman, only in CA would they require a third gender. we shall call it male, female, and "pat"

Kat said...

I am so in love with Gene Kelly!!!

I love your memes. So fun! :)

Anonymous said...

lmfao...'puck you' just about made me spurt out the big swig of Corona i'd just had...!!! hehheh ;) xxx

Ed & Jeanne said...

Come on...women just don't appreciate the stooges. What's up with that? And wow, you didn't have fun at all with the rock and roll ones...straight up answers? I'm shocked!

lime said...

kathryn, gene was just yummy wasn't he?

guiness, hope your keyboard was protected

ve, don't blame me about the stooges, i wasn't even given a chance to appreciate them as for the rock....
Alice Cooper or KISS? billy idol
Rush or The Guess Who? prince
AC/DC or Black Sabbath? van halen
Deep Purple or Led Zep? the doors
The Who or The Rolling Stones? the monkees
The Beatles or Chuck Berry? elvis
Jerry Lee Lewis or Little Richard? prince

david mcmahon said...

Zipline?

(M)ary said...

gay or straight? 90's or razors?

ok. that is confusing. but probably the best answer i have ever heard.

SignGurl said...

Bwahahaha!! You are the meme queen!!

G-Man said...

All Hail TRINI!!!! QoM'sI

Dr Bronners...hahahaha I used that toothpaste for years!

Good job Michelle...G xo

misticblu said...

Hilarious! Did you know that if a man hangs toilet paper, 99% of the time it will be UNDER?!?! Dear abby says it should be OVER to show the pretty prints, besides that it makes for a quicker grab.

Commander Zaius said...

Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' Donuts?

Krispy Kreme rules, I don't even see how Dunkin is making it in the South.

Rob said...

"Paper Hanging Over or Under? OVER, always OVER!" <---- Is that the equivalent of: "NO WIRE COAT HANGERS.... EVER!!!!!" I think so! ;-) (I happen to agree,BTW, that the paper is meant to be hung OVER the top of the roll -- but, it's a little hard for me to generate much passion about it one way or the other. Life is just too damn short to sweat the small stuff!)

"Adam West or Michael Keaton? george clooney (excuse me, i need a private moment here)" <----- WHAT????!!! I thought I was the only one who had that effect on you! *Sniff...* 8'-(

lime said...

david, escalator

m, think about it ;)

signgurl, why thank you!

gman, my minty freshness extends beyond just my breath

misticblu, it's all about the efficiency, baby!

beach bum, don't hate me but i seriously do not get the KK phenomenon

rob, if i can generate that much passion about tp just imagine how much i can generate when it really matters ;)

barman said...

TP makes sense to be over except...

under makes it harder for children and pets to unravel the darn roll. Se you just have to be open minded.

I must be part of that 1% that misticblu speaks of.

(M)ary said...

the gay 90's? is that a reference to the 1890's, cuz that was a looong time ago.
