Find a nearby book, open it to p. 23, find the the 5th sentence. Append it to the paragraph below. Then append your name to the list of people having done this (presumably to preserve some sort of lineage of the meme).

Today when I was out shopping, I ran into a copy of one of my childhood favourites. I have borrowed it from the library at least a dozen times, and the first time must have been when I was six years old, because I was seven when I first got glasses and we were on our way to see a movie made of the book when my mother first noticed that my eyesight ( Read more... )
