    Wade:

    Let's try a little exercise.
    First --- state your favorite meme.
    Second --- What does this meme mean to you?
    Third --- How do you use this meme in your everyday life?
    Fourth --- Do you influence people with it?
    Fifth --- Where did you find it ?
    Sixth --- Is it "yours" or did you borrow it?
    Seventh ---- How would you substantiate it?

    Curious!!
