The Lizard Meme

[dreamshark]

I made up a meme! All by myself! It goes like this:

You are walking through Kiosk City at the Mall of America when you come upon a man-sized green lizard capering in front of a kiosk giving passersby high-fives and low-fives. What do you do?

a) Give the lizard a high-five.

b) Chuckle appreciatively and keep on walking.

c) Without even noticing you're doing it, stop dead, back up a few steps, and detour around the other side of the kiosk. Ask yourself, "Why did I just do that?" Answer yourself, "Oh, right. Because there's a giant f----ing lizard over there." Keep on walking, slightly faster.



If you answered C you are me.
If you answered A or B you are somebody else.

I would also do "C", but I am not, to the best of my knowledge, you.

Well, okay, maybe it wasn't a very GOOD meme. It was my first one, be gentle.

I think I am more in the b) camp.

I'm in the (b) camp, too. That is, assuming that it's not an actual man-sized lizard but instead an actual man in a lizard costume.

(If there were a man-sized lizard high-fiving people at the MOA, I think I'd be running in the other direction.)

B

Yes, I would make that same distinction.

I'm an A) and submit the hypothesis that most other Rennies and former Rennies will be A's.

I am frequently you, in the sense of our reactions to things and thoughts about things, but this time I am not; my answer is b).

On the whole, I'd pick "D": Ignore the sales-lizard 'cuz I ain't interested in buying what
s/he's selling.

I do not like sales-people.
I do not like them dressed like a lizard,
I do not like them stuck in a blizzard.
I do not like them, Sam-who-am.

a) 2) "High Four!"

I'd be walking along thinking I was doing B until the sudden shift in traffic patterns leaves me finding myself low-fiving poor Mr. Lizard.
