Everybody! Stop debating and start a new meme. OR. continue with #nerdpickuplines (no, I haven’t gotten over it. just yet.) And someone should charge up #turdpickuplines.

I think @myrmalca has the most sensible solution.

@luckyshirt and @joeschmitt love each other really, but hey, guys, for the love of Twitter, can you stop all this & sort us out another meme, please? Otherwise I’m going to have to get out my meme generator – and you know how the beta testing on *that* went…

Melissa: There really ISN’T this much excitement over meme creation… IN A WORLD WITHOUT ATTENTION WHORES.

Holy crap! I had this open from last night when there was only ONE reply. Boy, I had no idea there was this much excitement over meme creation. So just to be clear, I’m hereby calling dibs on using a script format for jokes. ME: You can’t do that, that’s totally ridiculous. ME2: Shut up! I can do what I want. ME: You’re pathetic. ME2: I know you are but what am I?

Great post! I really love memes. I think they’re so compelling because they force me to activate parts of my brain that are sitting there dormant most of the day. It’s like a Rubik’s cube of funny and if I could just … get…that…last…side.

The 7 things was very hard. I am not a navel-gazer and it took days to get that out, but give me a silly hashtag meme and I can go for days. I’m going to go read The Meme Machine. Hopefully one day I can realize my dream of becoming a Certified and Licensed Memeologist.

Critz brings up another phenomenon that is very interesting to me: Memehating.

Is it because the flood of posts scroll your timeline (and favrd) too fast?

I had to filter my Twitter feed to EXCLUDE any Tweet with #nerdpickuplines. Who’s really responsible and what’s your address? I have a special delivery for you.
