blog chain letters?

what is tagging all about? kind of reminds me of those chain letters i sooooo hated when i was a snail mail penpal enthusiast. i used to get all kinds of bizarro chains...one of the worst was for tea towels! send a tea towel to the first person on the list, add your name, send the lists to some poor unsuspecting people and, eventually (like when Saddam makes Time Magazine's man-of-the-year), you get your very own tea towel! oh, goody!

i got dozens of Prayers to Saint Jude chains. my then best friend used to send me chain letters all the time...usually religious ones. or vaguely threatening chains..."if you break this chain, you're car will become possessed by Satan and your country will be searched for WMD's and you will be deposed" (see, Saddam broke that chain and look where he is now!).

there were postcard chains, music chains, mail art chains, childrens' book chains, zine chains, cookie recipe chains, just all kinds of chains. i hated them! despised them! my best friend couldn't write a decent letter to save her life, but boy, she loved those chains. and all of them required sending the letter to atleast 20 people! i asked her once, where she got names and addresses and she said she sent them to family, friends, COWORKERS, and names out of the telephone directory! puh-leeze! i finally asked her to stop sending them to me and she got all huffy about it. hey, i do not have the time for that shit...nor do i like the idea of threatening people, especially people i work with or DO NOT KNOW at all!

so, i'm very leery of this tagging thing. okay, i have stolen blog entry ideas from some people, but no one has ever told me to do it. and, i do not feel right having to tag someone else. it's their blog...let 'em write what they want. so, no offense, but please don't tag me. i am no fun.

oh, and those polls that are so popular..."what kind of cheese would i be" kind of polls...they are lame, people. LAME!

ps i'm Muenster!
