Yes, it's that time of year -- what, is it almost BlogHer...again? -- all snarkiness aside, mostly, there's already been lots of drama, filling up my Twitter stream, enough to choke a chicken.  Not that I ever would...choke a chicken, I mean...still, I think that this would be good time, as any, to bring back an old school blogging tradition.

The dreaded blog meme.

[pronounced "meem" like in the word "dream," for you young whippersnappers]

It's sort of like a chain letter, only, less annoying - especially, if it says something nice about, you know, somebody else - and I remember the days when the blog meme was just a really cool way to pass along some linky love.

You see, I'm late.  [eyes go wide]  NO!  Not that late!  [knocking on wood until knuckles bleed]  I mean, earlier this month, Lisa [a.k.a. Lisa Wants the Floor] said some really nice things about me.  Like, I made her stomach hurt (??) or, something like that and then she gave me something called the Zombie Chicken award!

[scratches head]

I think it's contagious.  Now I have to give it to someone else.  Well, because It's a rule:

THE ZOMBIE CHICKEN AWARD

"The blogger who receives this award believes in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all..."

See, I really don't have any choice in the matter, so here it goes:

1. Busy Mom (http://www.busymom.net)  One word:  Trendsetter - she was a busy before it was cool - the mother of all bloggers, figuratively speaking, of course, because, she's not THAT old, really.
2. Suburban Scrawl (http://www.suburbanscrawl.blogspot.com)  Two words:  Mommy Porn - this woman hooks me up with my fake celebrity boyfriends - go get you some.
3. Mommy Needs Coffee (http://www.mommyneedscoffee.com) Three words:  She Talks Funny - writes pretty gosh-darned good, too.
4. The Bean Blog (http://www.thebeanblog.com/) Four words:  She's Got Five Kids - and she's still lives to write about - 'nuf said.
5. The Mommy Blog (http://www.themommyblog.net)  Five words:  Been Reading Her Long Time - she's smart and funny as hell...if there was a hell...and it was funny...I mean - you should be, too.

Thank you for all of your inspiration, for knowing that I am a dork, but liking me, anyway (I think) and in true Golden Girl fashion, thank you for being a friend.

Pass it along, or play along, if you wish.  My job is done, here.  Frankly, I don't need no wrath from no zombie chickens!
