Tuesdays with Muerte

Just discovered  BYU MEME  on facebook today. If you are are sensitive to blasphemy, look away. I lifted so hard the week after conference, I got sick from exhaustion.  ( Reference ) General Conference, October 2014 Jorg Klebingat   ( Meme ) #SoProud ( Image source ) The Lion King   ( Meme reference ) This is probably why Indy wasn't chosen. ( Image source ) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ( Meme reference ) President Thomas S. Monson keeps pigeons  ( Image source ) "Wait a minute! Suppose two swallows carried it together?"  Monty Python coconut  conundrum  ( Meme reference ) Easter Puns by Shrute. ( Image source ) 2014 Easter Campaign  #BecauseOfHim ( Meme reference ) Jim, from The Office ( Image source ) "See? Nobody cares." ( Image source ) Nedry blows Dodgson's carefully established cover, from Jurassic Park  ( Meme reference ) Re: Beards ( Image source ) ...

This wasn't an exact meme re-enactment, but my intentions were true.  I attempted to mimic the little boy featured in the YouTube video below.  (Parental warning: A British woman says the "H" word.)  While this episode was very impromptu, and would have been better had it actually been my sister's birthday instead of my brother-in-law's.  It has initiated a very fun tradition that I'd like to continue to carry out for the foreseeable future—re-enacting memes that is, not jacking other people's birthday wishes; that's only funny once. "You never know when, or where, he's going to strike!" "Gotcha!"

[This guy's name is allegedly Dan Smith , visiting from Melbourne, Australia.] I can only imagine what went through Dan's head when he decided to commandeer the last four seconds of General Conference: [Pre-show] "oh my gosh.  we are sitting right in front of this huge camera.  If i stood up right now, I would totally be filmed!" [After Conference started airing, but 30-seconds before it actually began] "oh! How inconvenient that someone is walking past me to find their seat.  It would be impolite to not stand up and incidentally take up half of the screen for 14 million LDS viewers...SHOULD I TURN AROUND?  No.  Not the right time. [All throughout the session] "Must find an excuse to stand up as up again when possible."  [As he repeated this mantra to himself, he never stopped to think why? or should he?] [Just before the end] "After the closing prayer, I'll be casually standing.  When the red light goes on I'll have my...

When you see it...

Happy Monday, everyone. Here's a LOL to get your brains going for the week.  I thought I'd contribute to the "Yo Dawg" internet meme . Better late than never, right? Original creation Not quite. But I'm getting there. For those who don't get it, it's a velociraptor in the cockpit of an F-22 Jet Fighter, code name: Raptor. ( Yes, I know it's actually a T-rex , not a Velociraptor.) Here's how the current Yo Dawg meta-formula works: "Yo dawg, I herd you like X , so we put a Y in your Y so you can Z while you Z ". E.g., Xibit says, Yo Dawg, I heard you like cars, so I put a car in your car so you can drive while you drive.

In the TV show "Pimp My Ride" , host Xzibit reveals each newly pimped-out vehicle with the line "Sup dawg, we heard you like X, so we put a Y in your car so you can Z while you drive". The Internet liked this line, and started creating its own versions; a meme was born. By the time the picture above appeared, the phrase had mutated into "Yo dawg", and the focus of the meme had shifted to the concept of things inside (or on top of) other things — most commonly presented as an image macro , with or without a superimposed image of a smiling Xzibit. The current Yo Dawg formula goes as follows: "Yo dawg, I herd you like X, so we put a Y in your Y so you can Z while you Z". Successful Yo Dawgs can be obvious, tasteless, escalated, and even meta. Many see this picture as the inevitable and ultimate consummation of the Yo Dawg construct. Stay up-to-date at this unofficial site. If you're thinking, "I still don't know what a M...

So, the internet likes meta stuff. Good to know.

I was pretty astounded when I first say these pictures. Then I saw this dude's thumb And I thought, "that dog would never stay in the bun" So I tried to replicate the effect: Scissors—Not quite high enough Febreze aerosol spray
