Paulie Decibels tagged me with the Four Play Meme that apparently started with our set at The Rap Sheet, and has since hit every amateur crime writer like a broke paparazzo going after Susan Boyle.

Johnny Dollars,
Er...
You don't visit my site every day, CB? I'm crushed!
I knew it. You are a pyzahn posing as a scotsman. That's almost unforgivable.
But you like eggplant so I guess that evens it out.
p.s. Esquire is having a fiction writing contest. You can check it out at.....
www.esquire.com/fiction-contest
I put GROUNDHOG DAY down but my husband accused me of repetitiveness.
Chris,
You don't blog every day like you used to. I still pop over five times a week.
Pyzahn,
Sono uno Paisano solomente nel mio cuore. Oh, and the name is the Gaelic.
Thank you, I really, really appreciate the Esquire link. Sandra Seamans had already got me hip to it, three weeks ago and I've been putting off sending in a story that I've been hoarding.
Patti,
Hopefully you haven't driven your spouse crazy like I have with "I Got You Babe" and "The Pennsylvania Polka."
I have to see Tombstone. It's passed me by for some reason ...
Paulie Decibels,
One of the greatest westerns of all time, and that's just dialogue-wise. It is greatness, it is layered and you will come away with something different with each viewing.
My wife and I still watch Scrubs, though it has been showing its age for some time. And I will have to check out this A Gasping Little Voice. (Hey, a post header of yours just popped up saying you're quitting crime fiction. I hope that's not true)
David,
"Scrubs" has been long in the tooth for quite some time, yet there isn't another sitcom that can quite match it for replay value, thought provocation and belly laughs.
"Hey, a post header of yours just popped up saying you're quitting crime fiction. I hope that's not true"
No, I apologize. I thought once you delete a post, Google Reader and the Blogger links would get rid of it. I put a post up saying I was giving up crime writing to dedicate myself to this genre. It was strictly tongue-in-cheek and I was bored with it seconds after it was published.
I like those lists of fours. Can I appropriate it for myself?
Bubs,
You certainly may, uh, though already did. Memes are public property anyway, just give credit to the orignal author.
Disa,
Sp*mmers s*ck.
