I retired the birding meme, and am instead starting this one. I found it meme while looking up something else, and have now lost the link to where I saw it. Here's the deal. Plug your first name and the following verbs into Google, and copy the first (the best on the first few pages?) five "answers" Google returns. I used my real first name, and some of the responses were kind of funny.
Nuthatch needs...
-- an early start
-- your help
-- to recognize this and receive clarification
-- a new pair of shoes
-- a good home, and I need it ASAP!
Nuthatch is...
-- the love of someone's life
-- going on the straight and narrow for awhile
-- working on a novel
-- alone in her perceptions
-- getting inside your mind through your shoes
Nuthatch likes...
-- poo
-- scared pygmies
-- coffee
-- taking him to the dog park
-- Jewish men
Nuthatch wants...
-- nothing to do with it
-- to look her best, and if she feels short and sweaty, she won't
-- out
-- to have complete control over cross-domain connections
-- answers
Nuthatch gets
-- a $1 million grant
-- a moose
-- bogged down
-- validated
-- even more
Nuthatch says
-- keep them dry
-- she wants to teach music to blind people
-- she still experiences some spasticity when she is very tired
-- that her initial diagnosis came as a relief
-- things went more smoothly at a self-service Shell station
Since this is sort of amusing and easy, I tag Claire, Rob, Patrick, and Karen.



Nuthatch wants... nothing to do with it
I guess Google has been reading the ivory-billed post. :-)

I will do one, if you promise you won't try to control my thoughts thru my shoes.

I wanted to tag you with this, but thought with an unusual first name, everything Google comes up with would actually be you. Might be embarrassing, but go for it!

I think too many people named Karen have played this game, because when I started googling, all I could come up with was blog posts for this meme! Talk about your meta. :)
I've been trying to think of a way to tweak it but my creative procrastination will probably wait til right before my deadline to kick in.
