"Plagiarism is the sincerest form of imitation, egotism is the sincerest form of flattery." - Myself.
I plagiarised Myself for a previous post. I didn't think it would matter. If it were up to Me, I thought, I'd be doing it all the time. Thankfully, Me didn't have any say in the matter, because it turns out I was wrong. Myself went to a lawyers this afternoon and took out court action against Me for what I did.
When I heard this out, I immediately tried to dial Me up on the phone, but Me was engaged. I later found out that he was seeing his shrink. I was going to need one myself, I muttered loudly. Please keep me out of this, said Myself, coming into the room. I never mentioned Me, I said.
It was a good thing I didn't mention Me, because just at that moment, he came into the room too. When he found out what happened, he was immediately going to take it out on Myself, but I stopped him. As for Myself, he was busy watching re-runs of Funniest Home Videos on video.
Things would have ended happily when You walked into the room. And as you know, Me and You have a deep, dark history; and as for me and You ...
I could see that my troubles were just beginning ...

Genesis for this comment can be found here, the comments thread to this post.
I don't normally recycle jokes I make in comments unless I think I can get something more out of them.
Well, I hope you apologised to yourself for that.
Crikey, one knows that not all people are capable of that.
Instead of using the word, plagiarised/plagiarism..how about just saying you are a concservationist who recycled an old blog line and turmed it into a new one. That way you will not be seen as having a big ego..you will be seen as a trend setter- recycling is the way to go.
Also, to reiterate something is to remember it, like a practice run, and without reiteration a person could very well be forgetful...now..what was that I was saying? Darn..I forget!
Sorry, crap spelling back there, conservationist was the word....and as far as looking at the thread and its comments I see you have a copy-cat on your hands.
In a way this person is smart, they are trying to immitate a smart person after all...yet, they are foolish as they cannot find their own identity so there is only one conclusion, they are LOST!!
Huh? Copycat? The only person having troubles with copycats is MrLefty, though I may have misinterpreted your comment.
You're quite right, though. 'Plagiarism' is such a harsh word when I'm stealing from myself. Maybe I should dub myself an 'envirocommentalist', or something.
