Memed
So before I begin my seven by seven, what exactly is a "meme?" Is it some sort of plural for memo? Is it named that because its all about me? Squared? Is it the operatic warm up you give your throat before you answer a meme? These questions need answers...
Also, sometimes I needed to cheat, and squeeze extra things in...consider it following the "spirit" if not the "letter" of the meme.

Here's to Gene Kelley, possibly the best dancer ever, and so much more likeable than Fred Astaire.

WHAT? Fred Astaire is worlds more likeable than Gene Kelly! The latter seems brilliant but standoffish, while the former just seems like a nice guy.

Fred Astaire...was how shall i say it ...charmingly hoity-toity. But Gene was a guy's guy, who wasn't only graceful, but masculine, artistic but not snobbish. His dance routines were brilliant, i.e.(1)dancing with a creak in the floor, and a newspaper, 2) dancing with a cartoon 3) Dancing against himself. The Academy invented an Oscar just so they could award his choreography. His scenes in An American in Paris and Singin' in the Rain are classic, and on top of all this, he was someone you wanted to have on your side in a fight. The same cannot be said of Fred Astaire.
