“I was six years old at the time, so yeah, it was a while ago.”

Yep without the Beakman, I wouldn’t know what’s what! :D

Of course Alton beats Emeril!

Although, I would have to argue over the American version of IronChef, even though the coolest television host is the announcer :D

Definitely the American version of Iron Chef. But Alton over Emeril??

Josh: I was six years old at the time, so yeah, it was a while ago. Josh: I don't think it is still around, more's the pity, even in reruns. MH: good question! My gut feeling is that it's because in email, the downstream recipients (and their mail servers) are forced to receive the message. That's not so much the case on weblogs, on web sites in general.

Check that, I saw the name of the tagger on the sidebar of the taggee's site. Seems to have originated at that site.

I followed the road back to here (something like 18 degrees of seperation from here), but the server beyond that isn't responding at the moment. Perhaps someone else can resume the quest; let's find out who started this thing! :p

In email they’re called chain letters and they suck.

On blogs they’re called memes and seem more acceptable. But you bring up an interesting point.

I guess the main difference is that this one doesn’t say “If you don’t, three people you know will die.” and go on to list several “testimonials” of winning the lottery or getting a phone call from the person you have a crush on. (Still waiting on that call…)

Ah, I see, you mean four people you’ve passed this thing on to. “Tagging” is such an overloaded word now.

BTW, why is this sort of thing frowned upon when it’s in email, but if it’s in a blog, it’s cool?

What specifically is meant by “tagging?” You have them in your delicious bookmarks? You’ve spray-painted them with graffiti?

‘Bout time one of you guys mentioned the Fifth Element.

…I wish I was cool enough to get tagged.
Someday.
