ummertime meme
Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser.
Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the
blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the
most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the
expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also
have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from
and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also
provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!")
We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more
relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to
select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive
from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior
featured meme.
