Am I a prick because I don't do memes?

Every now and then I get "tagged" with a meme... and I ignore it.

The thing is, I've been tagged by some nice people... and from folks whose blogs I like... but I'm just not into the whole Chain Content thing. I do like the concept of Memetic Drift, though. So if y'all ever want to get together and play Telephone in person, we'll set up a time where everyone can drive, fly, or take the subway to my office in NYC, and we'll sit in a big circle and play.

I'll even reserve a conference room.

Love to all. Even you, utility guy.

I don't like meme's very much either, and I ignore most of them. I've done a grand total of TWO, and that was because I sort of liked them and they were easy. (the meme's were easy... not the people who tagged me...)

Anyway, when I DO a meme, I never tag anyone because I know how much *I* hate it.

What does it mean to be tagged? I've seen it on several blogs, but I don't know what it is I guess because I ain't that computer literate.

Memes are for people who lack creativity and have nothing interesting to say! The more blogs I read, the more I realize that 95% are pure GARBAGE!

i.e.

1) Sprite or Seven UP
Seven UP

2) Bacon bits or Croutons?
Bacon bits

3) Name the First person you had a crush on.

4) KY Jelly or No KY Jelly?

Wait...ITS had a crush on me??
Why was I never informed??
I like memes because the provide insight into the person who's blog I'm reading. I DO memes because the provide insight into myself.
Just because you are tagged doesn't mean you have to do them. I know plenty of people who I've tagged in the past and who've just ignored it. No biggie.

Anne,

If you answer #4, we'll know for sure if it was you or not!

"Post Hoc - also called post hoc ergo proctor hoc, Greek for 'after the fact, therefore because of the fact' - occurs when a temporal relation between two events is assumed to prove that the first one caused the second one."

- I had no idea what this meant, so I looked it up.
