A Meme

It’s my first time getting tagged with a meme and I want to say something cool like, “I had to look it up on Wikipedia because I don’t know what it is.” I know exactly what it is, though. It means that I now have a grand total of five readers and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks to Deb of Kahakai Kitchen for noticing my little corner on the interwebs and finally using the correct gender-specific pronoun to address my masculine self. She even edited “her site” to “his site” in her meme post.

You definitely got my attention with “Com find the beer bottles.” By the way, you can get me to pretty much do anything with that statement…
And buy Thomas Keller?! You are now one of my favorite people ever!
