What's in here?
To paraphrase Karen over at The Beagle Project, who knowingly infected Free Range with Pharyngula's Mutating Genre Meme, it would be science blogging sacrilege (or even secular, adventure-seeking, science-intensive unschooling sacrilege) to ignore a tap on the shoulder from the Beagle Bloggers, let alone the Mighty PZ!
So here we go...The Pharyngula mutating genre meme rules..There are a set of questions below that are all of the form, "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is…". Copy the questions, and before answering them, you may modify them in a limited way, carrying out no more than two of these operations:
You can leave them exactly as is.
You can delete any one question.
You can mutate either the genre, medium, or subgenre of any one question. For instance, you could change "The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is…" to "The best time travel novel in Westerns is…", or "The best time travel movie in SF/Fantasy is…", or "The best romance novel in SF/Fantasy is…".
You can add a completely new question of your choice to the end of the list, as long as it is still in the form "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is…".
You must have at least one question in your set, or you've gone extinct, and you must be able to answer it yourself, or you're not viable. (Am I the only one who finds this line hysterically funny? HW)
Then answer your possibly mutant set of questions. Please do include a link back to the blog you got them from, to simplify tracing the ancestry, and include these instructions.
Finally, pass it along to any number of your fellow bloggers. Remember, though, your success as a Darwinian replicator is going to be measured by the propagation of your variants, which is going to be a function of both the interest your well-honed questions generate and the number of successful attempts at reproducing them.
The best romantic couple in Victorian Literature is: Catherine and Heathcliff in Wuthering HeightsMy pedigree, in patriarchal lineage:
The best hip hop Song from 80s hard rock is: "Walk this Way" by Aerosmith and Run DMC (is there any other answer to this question really?)
The most disturbing movie in animated film is: Aladdin (“Oh, I come from a land / From a faraway place / Where the caravan camels roam. / Where they cut off your ear / If they don’t like your face / It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home.”)
The best Fishing Song in Working-Class Folk Music is: "Tiny Fish for Japan" by Stan Rogers
Ok, I missed the Bloggers Uniting to Save the Environment Day Thingie, because I suck. So this is my attempt at redemption. HW
How could we forget...the tooth fairy visited the Scoob twice! Congratulations to Scooby, who thoughtfully bit the coins she found under her pillow, as a tiny Gentleman of Fortune might.
