"The British scientist Richard Dawkins coined the word "meme" in The Selfish Gene (1976) as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches."
It was the last one that killed me... building of arches? WTF? HA! This award is even more warped that I originally thought - awesome! I should also re-confirm that it truly is the ugliest graphic, considering I design this kind of shit full time, I can honestly say that it's a crime against all good taste and principles of aesthetics; the Comic Sans was only the beginning!
Here are the rules:
1. You must proudly display the absolutely disgusting graphic for these purposes (put it in your post, you don't have to put it in your sidebar, I think that would seriously be asking too much). It's so bad that not only is it written with COMIC SANS, but there's even a little fucking jumping, celebrating
2. You must list 5 things about yourself, and 4 of them must be bold-faced lies. Just make some shit up, we'll never know; one of them has to be true, though. Of course, nobody will ever know the difference, so we're just on the honor system here. I trust you. Except for the 4 that you lied about, you lying bastards!
3. You must pass this award on to 5 bloggers.
4. This one isn't actually a rule, but once you do the above, please link up to the Memetastic Hop so that we can keep track of where this thing goes.

NOW, without further adieu, here are 5 things that may or may not be about me! Can you guess which one is true?
1. I've had sex in the wheelchair bathroom stall of a McDonald's.
2. I have a substantial tattoo that represents my first love on the back of my neck.
3. I was stoned and ended up having a 3-way with a girl friend of mine and our literature professor.
4. Grail Lore is my hobby and I wrote a 50 page dissertation on the Third Crusade.
5. I have an IQ of 163 but I use my grand IQ to decide what color lip gloss to wear in the morning.
OK. Now, like the last cyber-chain-linked award I had to pass on, I now pass this one on to 5 of my fellow nearest and dearest bloggesses (is that right?). If you don't choose to pass it on, it's your choice, I don't mind either way. Me? I'm fucking weak and superstitious as hell so I must pass it on. Sorry bitches! Love youuu! xx
I don't know if I should thank you for this or not. I'm not one to be rude so, I guess, thanks lady!
ReplyDelete;) I still need to post the other award. I suck at this.
Oooh you did it! I still haven't got around to doing mine yet. I'm trying to think of some good lies. Yours are cracking.... I want all of them to be true!
ReplyDeleteOk I actually want number 4 to be true...just because I'm kind of sick like that ;-) Oooh Grail Lore!
lmfao I swear you must be the coolest chick! To call out the ugliness of the award lol The balls on you are huge..I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU...not in a "you flick my bean way", maybe more in the, "if I could break into your house and steal your panties", kind of way ;)
ReplyDeleteOh for the love of all things ugly - this takes the biscuit. Just to be different I'm going to say they are all true but you changed key words just to throw us off the scent:
ReplyDelete1. I've had A BIGMAC in the wheelchair bathroom stall of a McDonald's.
2. I have a substantial tattoo that represents my first love on the back of my BUTT (and it's a mini bat).
3. I was stoned and PASSED up having a 3-way with a girl friend of mine and our literature professor.
4. Grail Lore is my hobby and I wrote a 200 page dissertation on the Third Crusade (because you know you can't stop yourself)
5. I have an IQ of 163 but I use my grand IQ to decide what color lip gloss to WRITE ON THE NEIGHBOURS CAR in the morning.
