Ground Floor of a Meme

Yeah, yeah, yeah...meme's are cheap and sleazy but so is the author of this particular meme, Mr. Fabulous. Actually he's a very sweet guy (back me up on this, Ginnie!) but don't let that get around too much, okay? The guy's got a rep to keep up.

Anyway, it's either this meme or y'all read about me starting the mate to the sock I finished yesterday. See? This meme's looking better all the time, isn't it? Plus how can I resist a meme that came straight from the original author? It's like getting a signed first edition.

That was a stretch, wasn't it?

Grab something to drink...it's a long one.

If their breath wasn't stinky.

No - mostly because I wouldn't have sex with anyone that wasn't my husband

Doubtful but it would make those fingerless gloves I'm thinking of knitting a lot more necessary.
