Meme of the Day





Memes don't always have to scare you on purpose.  Sometimes you're just scrolling through and go, "Oh My!" This is a Perfect Storm Meme.  It contains all the elements of meme persuasion:

  1. Cats
  2. Cute
  3. Nerd Cultural Inclusion
  4. Trendy messaging reference
  5. Anthropomorphic Animal Torture
This was obviously created by a Gen X nerdess or somebody who wants to get in her pants. 

My money is on the nerdess.

The proof is in the Frodo.  Guy geeks would never think enough about the lexicon to kid-cute the word "Frodo" into a plural.  This is how older women pretend they've still got a little girl inside them. Or, yes, how a clever thinking guy geek tries to get his little man inside them. But, what a guy geek wouldn't think of the "es" ending after the "o." All the wanton lust of a male nerd could never think through a complex plural noun. Maybe it's the testosterone, maybe it's just the trouble of adding an extra letter, we couldn't be bothered to think that hard about the language. Bottom line: it's not a guy.

This was obviously created by a woman yearning to let her nerdy-locks down by dressing innocent animals and flexing her whimsical grammar muscle, despite its OCD twitch.

Besides, if a guy did this, the cat would be wearing chain-mail, and a really cool Darklord beast-horn helmet, and maybe, just maybe, wearing a gold ring, forged for the elven lords in a backyard LOTR forge...

Not that I can speak with any authority on the subject.
