I've been blog-meme swarmed. Time to pay what's due and give some back. Beware, Flying Trilobite Blogrollers!

The Me Meme
A surprise meme, inflicted upon me by Zach of When Pigs Fly Returns. Ha! I scoff at this one. Here are the rules:
1. Take a picture of yourself right now.
2. Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
3. Post that picture with NO editing.
4. Post these instructions with your picture.
My camera was broken when Zach sneak-memed me. So my wife has snapped this surprise photo of me to make up for it.
Time to inflict more poorly coiffed surprise snaps on the populace. I tag Traumador, Emile, & Chris Zenga.

A pox upon you Mellow! This is because of the Vegan Visitor, isn't it? I will sign up to help ban red 'delicious' apples, as I also despise them! Only those little red spiders in old books don't freak me. Too much.
Bwah ha ha!
I think you should change your first name to Marsh. Or name your son Marshall.
What if my camera is busted?
Dr. A, you are so totally behaving like a 3rd grader.
Now put your head down on the desk and think about how you made me feel. No recess for you.
(I spent a large portion of my childhood correcting people "m-A-llow!" My name has an "E!"
Mike you're off the hook about the camera.
For now.
I'm not making fun! It would be adorable. My name got made fun of a lot too... I always wished I had a cool one. Like Marshall Mellow.
Well, you were lucky enough to be named "Dr". That's pretty kewl.
I could name one kid, like, "Naples" or "Diarylide". Something that normally ends in yellow. Y'know, that annoying Mellow Yellow song.
With my last name Dylke, I got a lot of fun made at my expense.
Love the nearly alternate first name. I may have to refer to you as Hyper anyway.
As for kid names my current joke is that I'm naming my first born daughter Worf. Not that it is relevant to the cute name association topic. Cause again what goes well with Dylke?
Craig, I think it doesn't matter what your name is, kids will find a way. It's one of the marvels of human evolution that name-calling is infinitely creative.
I wonder what kids would call Traumador? Have you asked him?
Oooh thanks for the link. Glad I'm not the only one who likes small spiders amongst other thing we have in common. More over coffee later...
Curses! Now I shall have to reveal my horrific china-cracking countenance to the world... once I get the chance to take a photo of myself (uh... would a facebook photo work? No? Dang).
Sure, a Facebook photo will work!
