OMG! I was looking for a meme for today and I found this funny site. Particularly funny is the Meme Faqs. I took it totally as tongue in cheek. Please tell me after you read it that it is supposed to be funny. And for those of you who pronounce meme as me me, I finally have proof that it is meme which rhymes with dream! And if you don’t believe me, check here, too.
Alright. I searched for awhile for this one. The post it came from was dated June (or Junio) 17, 2004. Did they have blogs back then? Did they have the Internet back then? I am not sure if this is a current blog or not as the most recent post was in August. But it is called Publius & Company or something like that. Thanks for the meme.

Alright guys, I really need some memes. I want to at least finish out 52 weeks of Meme Monday. After that I will reassess my desire to continue on with this.
I guess you have some ideas for your Netflix queue..
I’ve seen a lot of those older ones because of my college English classes I took in high school. It was kind of weird seeing them on the list. I might just have to do this meme.
I have a meme on my myspace page. I’ll copy and paste it in an email to you so you can delete the answers and put your own in if you want. In fact, I think I put it on my “about me” page on my journal. But I’ll still send it to you. If you’re interested, you’re more than welcome to use it. I look forward to all of your updates and the memes are no exception!
A few of those you have not watched are really pretty good! But a few I didn’t like or barely remember….
I love your 3! Princess Bride is AWESOME!
I’m going to email you a me-me.
Because its all about me-me
Wow, I didn’t know about meme rhyming with dream!
Tow-may-tow tow-mah-tow, poh-tah-tow poh-ta-tow, however it’s pronounced there are some really good movie’s in this meme. Look for mine tomorrow…lol;)
Fab–I DO! Jason read this post and couldn’t believe some of the movies that I haven’t seen. So, yes, we will be adding some of them to the queue. If you aren’t too busy, could you look over the list and tell me which ones we should get. hee hee hee.
Amber–Thanks for the meme. And CONGRATULATIONS, girl! You rock!
muttprincess–I LOVE Princess Bride. I can quote that movie. I love it. You should see Big Fish if you haven’t already. Another great movie.
speck–hee hee. Okay, I shall await your MEME! lol
Seamus–See? This is an educational blog. lol
Wander–I will look for it tomorrow. I will probably ask you about the ones you have seen that I haven’t, so be prepared.
I pronounce ‘meme’ as ‘quiz’.
Good one- I will be stealing- I’ve been doing that alot lately!
