It appears that Maybury has tagged me with some class of book meme, which explains why I was feeling under the weather yesterday. The common wisdom is that you have to starve these things if you want to get better, but I’m going to indulge it this time because the results make me look sinister and dangerous.
The challenge: pick up nearest book, open to page 123, write down sixth, seventh and eighth sentences.
It is war. It is “our nation” against the US Government… If 10 teenage Jews and liberals had blown up a Nuremberg beer hall with Hitler and a thousand storm troopers inside, they would have been applauded.
From I Have America Surrounded: The Life of Timothy Leary by John Higgs. (I should point out that the ellipsis is in the original text. Well, not the original text. But it’s in the book.) I’m mildly disappointed that I have this in my pocket, because the next closest book is a thousand-page guide to current VAT legislation, and that would have garnered me mad economic cred.
I’m supposed to pass this on to five people. Nads to that. In fact, I am anti-tagging you: if anyone reading this post gets tagged by someone else, you don’t have to do it. You may thank me in the comments.
I bet you say that to all the tag meme’s.
Still, nice idea on untagging…. Still, one tag too late.
It won’t work on my, the nearest book atm is “Q” which doesn’t have anything on page 123
My was meant to be me. grr
I’ve been described as lovely. Some people appreciate me.
Stevesie, no one said you have to stay on page 123. Just go to the fifth sentence after that page. So to recap, less of your scoundrelry.
You know, a thought occurs… I really hope this passes on to someone who’s reading Last Exit To Brooklyn.
Are you going to say why or just leave it hanging?
Lots of very long run-on sentences.
