I don't really understand it, but I've been "tagged" by Five-Centres, who was tagged by Valentine Suicide (and so on), which means, in the spirit of the game, I have to go to page 123 of the book I'm currently reading, skip the first five sentences and reveal the following three. I can't see the point of not telling you what the book is though, so it's The Terror Dream by Susan Faludi, revealing me to be the feminist you always knew I was. (I'll be reviewing it forthwith.)
"The media hailed the mayor's act as an augur of America's marital future (shelving for a moment Giuliani's less than inspiring marital past). Giuliani had 'set an example,' the New York Times declaired. The Chicago Tribune applauded the mayor for playing 'adopted papa.'"
Doesn't make a tremendous amount of sense out of context, but I expect that's all part of the game. I think I have to "tag" other bloggers now, but I don't know who's already been "tagged" or not. Tell me what to do, somebody clever!

Tag?? - I've got my mouse crossed behind my back
Sorry to be a pedant but I think its
"skip the first three sentences and write down the next five".
I dont think that this is why it makes no sense though,
thanks

My apologies its seems that valentine suicide and five centres are playing the same game but by diffrent rules.It seems in my efforts to be a pedant I fell foul of the first rule of research this being - Do some,
thanks

You may be right, you may be wrong. I'm just going with the flow!
The picture of the 5 centres bar has made me ache with nostalgia for that peerless confectionery item - I can almost taste the lime creme bit. Why oh why don't they bring it back? Does the eponymous (is that the right word?) blogger perhaps know anything about Fry's/Cadbury's future plans?

I remember my Dad going on about the Fry's "Five Boys" bar. Was this the same thing in older packaging? In my day, it was Fry's "Fruit Cream".
Sorry AC - I realise that this has nothing to do with the "meme" (I've no idea what that means, or where it originates from). At least you've got a number of replies, though. After Five Centres tagged me, I've only had two comments left and one of those was an expletive.
Is the book "The Terror Dream..." by Susan Faludi?
Shite - I've just realised that you gave the title of the book in your post in your post.
What a numpty I am.
That buffoon Suicide tagged me. Does that mean you have to write up page 123 on your own blog, or some other bugger's? I see you've written yours on yours, Collins ... that's what I'm meant to do is it? Yes? Well? Is it? IS IT?
*head explodes*
