It spread like wildfire... the Bubonic Plague... that rash I got last summer from a new, pungent laundry detergent I'd never used before. It was The Four Things Meme. And few on the M&F blogroll would escape its deadly quadrangular embrace.

A small sampling of the Meme Cautionary Tales:

Behold JenB's Four movies I can watch over and over selections, notably heavy on the Canadians. Which she is all aboot. I mean about.

Contemplate Alice's Four celebrities I have bothered, which, while not technically a part of the actual meme in its original form, somehow still manages to capture the spirit of, umm, listing four things. Good job there, Alice!

Gaze in wonder upon the (again, newly added) Four items in my purse category from HulaSeventy, and feel wracked with equal parts guilt and jealousy that you do not carry around a "faux fur change purse with pennies for the fountain at fellini's"... because don't you think your life would be better -- or at the very least substantially more dramatic and romantic -- if you did?
