There are some on the final link that I don't quiet get. BBIAM? I get most of them, and so, understand the overall point. Marty loves these. :)

Yeah, there are a number in the final link that I don't get, but I get enough of them that I keep clicking. My favorite (on the third site) so far is "THE '... IS YOUR NEW BICYCLE' MEME KNOWS THAT THE THIRD STEP IS PROFIT."

I fail at internets. What's the deal with "...is my new bicycle"? I don't get it!

And Facebook is blocked at work, so I can't see Gaydolf Titler. Le sigh.

Well, the first one sprang fully formed from the head of Zeus. Or something. Anyway, it was a completely random page that appeared (apparently) on Valentine's Day.

The second one was an almost instantaneous response to the first one. I believe similar pages for McCain and Ron Paul also exist, though the Hillary Clinton one is the funniest.

The third one is a response to the response. Like, apparently 'is my new bicycle' has officially achieved memedom, as declared by site #3. So you don't get it because it's only just now declaring that it is a thing that needs to be got. Which, I guess, is how all memes work?

"So you don't get it because it's only just now declaring that it is a thing that needs to be got."

It is exactly the part of 'culture' that makes my brain hurt. And that prevented me from taking any MCM classes at Brown.
