There's a meme

[chrisvenus]

There's a meme going round. Ask people to gratuitously faltter you. So much like every other meme. The exact basis of this one though is to ask people to tell you what they envy about you. Well, in the nature of the meme subversion society I thought I'd let everybody know what I envy about a few of the people on my friends list. If you want to know what I envy about you then just ask and I'll try to find time to add something.

Well, the first is davefish because he is an international superspy and I think that would be just so cool to be.

Next is bateleur for he has the most impressive selection of superweapons that I have ever seen.

After that is castorlion. A better trained private army I have never seen. Efficient, well equipped, ruthless and utterly loyal. How cool is that?

Then joe_smoke whose vast underground laboratory complex has proved invaluable to organisations around the world for such things as developing advanced electronics, new materials for building, huge advances in electical components including computers and of course the rarely talked about bioweapons.

And lastly my wonderful LJ friend who has superpowers. Obviously the whole secret identity thing means I can't tell you who they are but I am so envious of anybody who has superpowers.

So there's a few people. If you want me to let you know what about you I'm envious about then leave a comment and I'll let you know.

Ah! So it's joe_smoke I should be hiring :)

[chrisvenus]

Well, you've been into space several times. What more would I envy than that?

[kissifa.livejournal.com]

Yay! Do me!

[chrisvenus]

Psychic powers. I have to admit that I'm relieved that you can't do mind control or invasive telepathy but the telekinesis and the projective telepathy is way cool!

I respect your considerable memetic mutation 5X1110r2. Dawkinsesque.

[chrisvenus]

I think you suffered from some signal degredationm in the middle there. The data got corrupted to "5X1110r2" which clearly makes no sense. :)

Thanks you though. I dislike memes and being a sheep. :)

Evolution in action there, marvellous. Apparently it started life as "skill". Who'd've thought it?

[chrisvenus]

Wonderful. You clearly have the power to cause spontaneous rapid evolution in anything you desire. A superpowered Charles Darwin. Hoorah!

Unfortunately my abilities generally only extend as far as words. On a good day, though, I can sometimes do imaginitive things with punctuation@#$()@%*#$)%&@#%)*&@#$()%&|}|}{~

[chrisvenus]

Kewl! A whole new species! :)

Go green with envy for me.

[chrisvenus]

I'm not sure about you. Yeah, you come from another planet but I'm not sure that's something I'm really envious of. I quite like being an earthling.

I think if I am going to be really honest then the thing about you I most envy is your Invader Zim socks.

How come I haven't been done, when I left a comment and everything?

[chrisvenus]

Ah, I should really have said leave a comment asking me. You just left a comment. :)

Your cybernetic implants are the thing that I really envy about you. Unfortunately I'm very squeamish so the though of having things like that computer interface implant just make me shudder. Always going to be envy from a distance there.

Yeah, the logic circuits can cause these small hiccups, I admit...

[twicedead.livejournal.com]

You can have them, all of them, my entire collection.

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

Much better than the original meme, I salute you !

You can borrow my ZZ-90 anytime. (10 smug points to anyone who gets the reference.)

[chrisvenus]

no smug points for me. :(

[bateleur.livejournal.com]

A reference to the DR and Quinch story where they join the army.

[taimatsu]

Me please, nice Mr. Chris.

[chrisvenus]

Well, with you there's a bit of a choice but I'll go for the top one. Your matter transporter is just the coolest invention I've ever seen. Actually, I'll make it two things. Having an art display in the national gallery has got to be pretty cool too.

There's a meme going round. Ask people to gratuitously faltter you.

You rock. Or at least you made me laugh, which is worth a point.

Lest you think that this post is itself some kind of gratuitous flattery: "faltter"? - learn to type, you feckless idler.

[davefish.livejournal.com]

It is pretty cool. You get all the amazingly glamourous women, and get to schmooze with world leaders and megolomaniacs.

Of course, you do sometimes have bad guys trying to zap you with their latest secret weapon, but no jobs perfect.

You could probably come along some time. I am sure your skills as an international playboy and stealer of hearts could come in very handy.
