I refuse to mail meme. It deprives everyone of the ability to look at the tags on your posts in their aggregator and just choose not to read the posts labeled "meme" and "another reason for you to f-ing hate me." Unfortunately, I still have friends that mail meme (cough, cough...Bob) and expect me to bombard family, friends, coworkers and random strangers with mail until there are so many Outlooks and Gmails flying about that it pays forward. As someone who receives what could realistically be defined as too much real email a day, I just can't bring myself to engage in that sort of tomfuckery. I post my answers to Bob's meme of four here, and I post Bob's answers as well, so he doesn't have to forward them any more (stripped of a few items so it's not personal information). Speaking of Freudian slips - Bob wrote that he watches the Weayher Channel. Awkward. I've corrected it for him.

No way were you a camp staffer for the BSA....so was I! I knew there was something I didn't like about you. J/K, we'll have to swamp stories on that sometime.
I didn't know which Bob you were talking about until I started reading his four jobs. Being named Bob and being a nuclear plant operations instructor narrowed the possibilities down considerably :) On the other hand, he didn't include volunteer sea turtle feeder. Interesting....
Kyle, I think under things he's looking forward to this year he should include "buying a new plunger".
Ah, but that should be on Mike's list of things to look forward to this year. I would expect he would have thrown away the plunger purchased for him last year - or at least I hope so.
