Tagged and Threatened/Promised

My best friend Starr Ann (hi, Starr Ann) and I've been Meme Tagged again. Yep, and this one nearly caused a tiny rift at Happy Hands Ranch. Believe that? We never argue here. If we disagree, we'd rather wrestle to the point of tickling than actually bicker.

Anyway, the Queen of Memes tagged us with this new
meme called No Autographs, Please - The Band Meme. So far so good. Mimi always comes up with fun games.

In the past, I've enjoyed procrastinating on meme follow-through. Drives Queenie crazy. Keeps her out of trouble (everybody knows she was arrested in a toy store over the holidays, right?). But this one looked so fun, I got started on it right away.

So, here's what nearly upset our Happy Hands - The Dungeon.



Yep. The dungeon. See? The standing threat is that if you fail to answer your Meme Call, you get thrown into this dungeon. I'm claustrophobic and don't really care to get put down there. But Starr Ann's practically salivating at the thought of taking a peek inside. So, when she realized I was answering this tag real fast, Starr Ann started lobbying for us to dodge the meme.

Here's how The Band Meme goes. You are about to have your own band's CD cover. Follow these directions to the letter. Go to......

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.


4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result as a comment in this post. Also, pass it along in your own journal because it’s more amusing that way.


Then, Starr Ann saw our results! Heh. Even Starr Ann's dungeon fantasies couldn't override the pure excellence of our band, our debut album, and especially our album cover. And we both want to swear to one and all, right here and now, that there was absolutely no cheating on the album cover picture! We swear! Starr Ann and I are leading a truly charmed life.

So, here it is:




And for the record (heh) there was no rift. We do be riffin', though.

Now, who are Starr Ann and I tagging?

Cap'n Dyke (because Pirate Music is so Adventurous)

Sandwriter (because she's a famous Dream Guitar player)

Drowning Pisces (because she's so danged tech savvy)
