As I am not a native English-speaker (and I am inventing words in my
German as well btw.) I may invent non-understandable words and
apologise.
Must say: Pyrrhusian, though.
Pyrrhus was the Greek general who won all the battles against the Romans
but the loss of men and goods was so great that he had to give up in the
end.
> What was meant by "meme out?"
Something like: "Chill out", "Keep cool", "Get rid of memes and
meditate".
I just wanted to make you wonder, thanks for doing so.
"Strange Memes" may spread well. (Like hairdos?)

Hello to this list, btw. Have read silently now for more than a year.
Thanks for all the inspirations. (I personally think that maybe both
Chris Lofting and Joe Dees are right, btw. And all the others as well.)
De-Meme!
