Alleged meme Tag
Contagion seems to have attempted to tag me with a meme.
However, according to the absolutely official
meme rules, it is simply not permitted to tag people when
they're not home. Therefore, Contagion's tag is hereby officially certified as null and void. Sorry Contagion, better luck next time.

Well you're home now. TAG, you're it!

Ah, nice try!
But duplicate tags, once an initial tag has been nullified, are not permitted, either -- it's similar to the double jeopardy clause in the Constitution.

Ogre, you're sounding a lot like a lawyer there, and BTW, did I miss the "Bah, HUMBUG" comment somewhere?

Oh, this has got nothing to do with Christmas -- this is all about following the rules. They're posted, after all, so we might as well follow them.

Having viewed the "rules", and being a proclaimed rules lawyer by many individuals, I must say that the findings are that it was a valid tag. The "rules" that you have cited have no legal presidence, nor do they hold any validity. The "rules" in question where neither voted on, nor ratified by either a congress nor senate of bloggers. Thus the rules have no legal or actual implication. One can not simply make up rules and cite them as valid. If that was the case I will site the "rule" derived from the Lee Ann book of blogging. "MeMes must be responded to with in 1 month of being tagged, as long as the individual has received proper notification and due time to respond to said request." This rule does not state that you have to be present for it. Then again if you want to make up rules. My rule says, "If Contagion tags Ogre with a meme, he better get off his green butt and respond or Contagion will sign him up for the Al Franken and Hillary Clinton fan clubs."
thank you for your consideration.

Ah, so we have devolved to the threats already. Don't make me call the Dome police on you...
The rules are in place, having already been voted upon and accepted, having won a unanimous vote of the entire committee (of Ogre). You may make up other rules, but since all those have been made up AFTER the institution of these rules, they are, by rule, inferior to these aforementioned rules.

Right back at you, Kathy!
My Christmas post will be auto-posted on Christmas Day (when no one will be reading blogs, I imagine...)
