sam_handelman's Journal: Meme? Meme! MEME!

Post a comment to this thread, and I will:

1. Tell you why I befriended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, etc..
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your Journal/Blag/whatever.

A meme quest? Interest idea.

Can't say why you would have tagged me for anything. Perhaps my fervent anti-Dubya comments? They seem to get the strongest reactions, but usually negative knee-jerk reactions from devout Busheviks. I'm waiting for one of them to remind me that the terrorists want to kill me even more than he does.

The meme itself is an interesting topic that I've been considering quite a bit over the years. For example, do you know that Mike Godwin wrote an article in which he claimed that Godwin's Law was deliberately inte

I also post in excessive haste, sometimes. That should say:

My current meme of primary interest is "abortion and the right to evolve willfully", The "evaluate" meme was in terms of the advanced genetic counseling that is creating the new dilemmas in medical ethics. Ma Nature still don't care.

1) Generally, whenever anyone friends me, I check their post history and I friend them if I think they have anything to say.
2) http://www.lyricsfreak.com/o/omd/genetic+engineering_20103407.html [lyricsfreak.com]
3) Diversity of thought.
4) Remember that time you got really wasted, and tried to mace the bouncer, except that you were actually carrying WD-40?
5) "Never look a gifthorse in the mouth, and beware of Greeks bearing gifts." - Thoughts?
6) I only see the one mugshot on your homepage.

Re:

[sam_handelman]

1) Statistical mechanics.
2) Carry on my wayward son (the Kansas song.)
3) Long walks on the beach; sloppy kissing with lots of tongue.
4) That time you got arrested for maceing a guy while working security on some kind of dance or another. Classic.
5) If you could be any animal, any animal at all, what animal WOULD YOU BE?

I'm game.

Re:

[sam_handelman]

1) You're named after the hero from a Moorcock novel.
2) HWV 247, Chandos Anthem #2
3) You're all out of bubblegum.
4) Well, obviously, being maced at the RNC in 2004 takes the cake.
5) Is that *actually* your name? If not - have you considered legally changing it?
6) Not bad: http://www.cinestatic.com/sweeteffay/uploaded_images/New%20Worlds%20191-700120.jpg [cinestatic.com]

Re:

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

Yeah. Actually my name. Also - the real name of the current head of the O.T.O. - not an association that I relish, really.

Once I had every New Worlds appearance of Cornelius. That includes the odd Spinrad story or two, and the original Final Programme installments from '64 - when the mag was produced in a paperback format.

I let many sentimental and collectors items go in the 80's.

Interesting

and a welcome break from most of the rest... I'm in!

Re:

[sam_handelman]

1) Fear of velociraptors.
2) Elephant Stone. Although I'm kinda grooving to the bazi page atm.
3) A combination of eagerness to confront controversial topics and patience for clarifying discourse.
4) Well, there was that time you started tazeing passerby in order to provoke discussion. Went surprisingly well for the first seven or eight minutes.
5) What *are* you on? A complete, exhaustive list would be helpful.
6) Not a whole lot of choices, but this works: http://rm6f9.deviantart.com/art/Perfection-Sri-Yantra- [deviantart.com]

Re:

[RM6f9]

Fear of velociraptors... okayy...hunh?

Elephant Stone? Again, hunh?

(My mom used to say: "Kick a pig right, it'll say 'hunh' - try saying 'excuse me', you won't sound so dumb.)

Eagerness to confront pretty much sums my initial self up: sometimes, I wonder if any of us speak anything like the same language, hence the explanations - I am developing some real respect for Dr. Chomsky et al, by way of Bandler and Grinders' works prior to the dilution of NLP into the fad it became.

Sure, taze everyone, make 'em objec

Re:

[RM6f9]

I know, replying to one's own post is viewed as lame, but the synchronistic relevance of the quote at the bottom of the page ("It would seem that evil retreats when forcibly confronted. -- Yarnek of Excalbia, "The Savage Curtain", stardate 5906.5") to my above post deserved notice and mention.

OK

[StalinsNotDead]

These things're fun. Ain't they?

Re:

[sam_handelman]

1) It was something you said.
2) I Wanna Be Sedated.
3) Steel!
4) So we're under siege at a starbucks, and SnD comes in, and I'm all like "Hey! It's Stalin!" so the Starbucksroids assume that he's one of the guerillas, right? And then he heads for the counter - and they're flinging everything they've got at him, they've got tear gas canisters, they've got net guns, they've got like a dozen tasers. He staggers up to the counter, and he's like "Why is this called a Frappucino? Is that like a milk shake? Because

Can bullets harm me? That's never been put to the test, actually.
