CFC Memes

[Azale]

In NES, for example, they have an entirely different set,

Do you stalk us or something?

Stalker or not however, you're correct. Don't limit your mind to only the OT people!

I use rasist in my real life speech, and in my non-OT writing....but sadly only I really think its funny (or OTers who read my stuff)

 

[Catharsis]

Do you stalk us or something?

I stalk you. Naturally, I've picked up a few tidbits of knowledge about NES along the way.

And don't slouch in your seat like that.

There's always Poland threads. And conversely there's anti-HRE threads. And anti-Catherine threads.

And also there's Lucy Duke and her dogs.

Poland is a meme that goes waaay back to 2004, I don't think it's really a CFC meme.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

But it lives on with TheLastOne36 and his Poland is not E Europe threads.

Who could forget the old 'Polish Hijack'?
EDIT:
Ahh i got beaten to it...

My humor is a little to subtle sometimes.

This could hurt Obama politically.

I'm sure Digi will blame me.

I think I made a poll about this once upon a time.

I did. Here it is. Some Meme Discussion can be found there:

Its missing STOLED MY PANTS, ...hurt Obama politically, and Rasist though...so basically, the three funniest things.

Also, I'm a meme? I thought the only one who put downtown as a joke option was.....me?

I could have sworn at least a few other people did.

 

[TheLastOne36]

Oh and Mirc and his crossposting, can that be included?

Is it because you consider yourself an intellectual?

No it's because I like to point out common CFC problems (mixing up Bigdog and Bigfoot) by enacting those goofs with a straight face.

And I don't care if that hurts Obama politically.

Let the free market decide.

but that's rasist. downtown would know what to do.

Russian 'democracy'...i admit to using that one multiple times - and i've seen others use it as well.

 

[Traitorfish]

Aaargh, don't say 'meme'. It's a really stupid word.

No, it's just a word...

meme (mēm)
noun.
A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.

The word pre-dates it's use to refer to internet fads by about thirty years- it was originally coined by Richard Dawkins as a culturally equivalent to the term "gene", derived from the Greek mimēma, "something imitated".

That doesn't matter, though.

The word 'awesome' used to be a fine word, used only to describe the truly awe-inspiring, and then the youth, and later the Internet, got hold of it, and now it's a stupid word. 'Meme', from your definition which is news to me, seems like it was a pretty stupid word when Dawkins coined it, and now it's even stupider, Greek derivations or no.

Basically it is XKCD ruining language for me.

fun fact: I spent about a minute looking for a word to describe 'awesome' that wasn't 'awesome' itself. Now 'fine' is fine, but it just isn't awesome.

Right, right...We need to have a command economy under downtown.

Then all will be pleased!
