I was searching for a gif of someone shouting “NOT CANON!” (i dunno why but i have an image in my head of this happening in either The Office (with Dwight, presumably) or on the My Little Pony epidsode of Bob’s Burgers.
Sadly, Google let me down, but I did come across this random gif from Canon printers, so enjoy!
My 26 yr old sister still says things out loud like ‘ermagerd’ and ’___ ALL the things!’ Like…is that what’s gonna happen to me?am I going to be 30 still saying stupid shit like O shit waddup! Are all the youngins gonna be embarrassed by my use of outdated memes….how long until I myself am not Hip With It….how long until I am no longer a trendy memer…
my greatest fear honestly
Listen, I am 40. I was around for the early internet of webrings and hamsterdance. Homestarrunner. Those little cats in the boat singing to Immigrant Song. Longcat. Ceiling cat. Radiskull. Powerthirst.
So to me anything that is funny on the internet is, and always will be, cutting-edge and hilarious. If it’s funny the first time, it’s funny the eleven thousandth time. No exceptions.
I accumulate memes. Social media sites form actual strata in my soul, revealing my geological age in layers: Geocities, Myspace, Livejournal, Tumblr. Memes encrust me, like jewels, just layer on layer of reaction gifs and shitposts, some of which I barely understand, but I refuse to let go of. I cling to them, they are ever-relevant, undying.
You callow youths, who think in your innocence that that memes come and go, you are tepid fools who still smell of milk.
I am where memes go to die. I am where memes go to live eternal.
Someday, if you are lucky, you will join me. Bring your breadsticks meme, your Spiders Georg, your Bode, your big mood, your Supernatural gifs, your oh worm. Come with me and rejoice in pointless in-jokes and long-forgotten references. Embrace your encyclopedic knowledge of comedy sites ca 2006 and come share the knowledge with us. Come with me and lik the bred.
You gotta.

Put this on my headstone, underneath a picture of Ceiling Cat.

It’s almost like nobody expects nearly 50 year old memes

die they just start getting called
quotes and references ^Haiku^bot^9. I detect haikus with 5-7-5 format. Sometimes I make mistakes.

On a recent residential, I taught four dozen 11 year olds “Badger badger badger badger…” and they loved it, even pointing out various fungi on the walks and going “MUSHROOM MUSHROOM”
Naturally Erupted Elephant Rock in Heimaey in Iceland
I’ve often seen pictures of the elephant’s head, and have been amazed by it every time. But I’d never seen the picture from above, showing the whole body/tail and trunk. It’s incredible from this angle, and am convinced it is a real ancient mega elephant turned to stone by a dark or benevolent force long forgotten.
“He wore a tall pointed grey hat, a long grey cloak, and a silver scarf. He had a long white beard and bushy eyebrows that stuck out beyond the brim of his hat.”
Early Frank Turner is like YEAH FUCK EVERYTHING MAKE MUSIC SHOVE TATTOO NEEDLES UP YOUR ASS and I was like YEEES but now Frank Turner is like hey I know things are tough you wanna just lie on the floor and cry for a bit and I’m like yes
The tonal difference between ‘Positive Songs for Negative People’ and ‘Be More Kind’ really shows (to me) how much can change in three years. PSFNP has the general theme of “kick your mental ailments right where it hurts and don’t stop until it stays still,” whereas BMK is “make peace with yourself, be gentle, and everything will eventually be okay.”
Regardless, both are amazing, uplifting albums in different ways and I’m very grateful to Frank Turner.
