One Question, One Question, 1/2 Meme . . . Overly Started, But Not Begun

ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 9:06 am

A Great Question Deserves

. . . a question?

Once upon a time . . . well, actually it was yesterday . . . Tully designed and suggested a new sort of meme. . . .

This meme, called, “One Question, One Answer,” is brilliant. . .

. . . It’s meant to get the right questions to the right people and the right answers on the right blogs. . . .

It covers every contingency, except for one — Tully chose to start the meme,

. . . with me.

You Should Have Known, Tully

You see, I’m the sort who . . . likes to have fun with these things.

I always change memes from what they were to something else.

Tully, I don’t mean to be a pain. . . though I don’t mind worrying and wheezling though a loophole . . . for some fun.

I’m a global thinker. Details overwhelm me. They overtake me with feeling that I might overlook something that I should be overseeing, and that makes me overly careful about things I shouldn’t be fretting over at all or ever. I probably should just get over it.

You see?

That’s why I have to ask my question.

Could you go over that again?

Um . . . er. . . What I mean to say is,

. . . Could you, would you, write the simple how-to steps

so I know exactly what to do?

I’ll link to them as the how-to do this meme.

I’ll answer question, pass the meme on, and be smiling, just as I am now.

After all, I am the nice one. :)

    I think Tully is still a bit in ‘Turtle’ mode, or he doesn’t understand the question about the question
    ;-)

    Truly hilarious, Liz.

    I wanted to know the definition of meme. I knew it meant something close to muse but when I looked it up on dictionary.com here is what I got.
    Meme (noun)
    “A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.”
    We are on the right path, transferring information from mind to mind. I really like that definition.

    Hi Carma!
    A meme is line a gene of the mind passed alone the internet. Some are more interesting than others. This one of Tully’s has real value and potential. :)
