@mfladd She may have started accessorizing

@jaremelz That is sweet. I was going to ask but didn't want to push it any further. :)

@mfladd Since you are running your contest so long, I'll try to do one more thing. But only because you didn't ask so nice ;)

@jaremelz - Sweet! Next - Rubber ducky family?

@nadroj meme means adding text inside the picture. AS IS means no altering the image with photo shop (etc.), Text outside of the image is only for people who don't think they can make the meme. I see it begins early people (sigh).

@nadroj This is way more complicated than the last contest, isn't it? This is way more complicated than the last contest, isn't it?

@Barney completely :)

@nadroj "AS IS" just means you're not allowed to return any of the images for a refund.

@mfladd I had a debate with myself over the difference between a meme and a caption. What's your take? Maybe you should accept both?

(I mean the actual words, not the layout).

@KDemo either is acceptable for this contest. Thank you for bringing it up.

@KDemo I could probably write a whole essay on the differences between an image meme, a caption, and a snowclone. But that would be super boring and a lot of people just use them interchangably anyway and the universe is still pretty much mostly okay, all around.

@Barney I think what you meant to say was...

This is way more complicated than the last contest, i This is way more complicated than the last contest, isn't it?

@mfladd does everything 195%.

@Starblind can captions be done on imgur, or is there an easily accessible site online that you would like to share? To me they are both a meme as I would think about it - text over image.

@Starblind - Yeah, without looking it up I think of a meme as a popular word or phrase that works as a response in many different situations. This contest quickly seemed to veer toward captions.
Not that there's anything wrong with that . . .

@mfladd Yup. It can be done right on Imgur. I like using Photoshop to put text on images though because it's flexible and easy to correct in case of a typo.

@Starblind I originally had no photo shop in the post, but to me it was more important not to alter the image (besides text) To me it is how funny your words are on the image that matters, not how they got there. I think this is a fair contest for the creativity of producing a funny meme.

@KDemo A meme is the smallest unit of transmittable culture, and memetics is an attempt to study the transmission of human culture and ideas using a model similar to biology. In biology, for example, a traveller to a remote village might transmit a disease such as a flu to the locals. Memetics attempts to show us that ideas can spread in the same way--if a traveller to a remote village dunks his biscuits in his tea, the locals may start to do the same. If so, the concept has spread memetically. Or that's the theory, anyway.

@Starblind - Ah, so, when the internet came along, suddenly meme units could spread exponentially?
Thanks for the enlightening.

Campaigning for this because
1) It's funny
2) Who deserves TTM doll more than her creator?
Vote Starblind 2015!

@KDemo I agree! This really does need to win, because she is sad without her true creator!

@jaremelz - I couldn't think of a better word for that while still giving you credit for making her.

@KDemo Oh, I wouldn't be offended at all! Starblind has woven this incredible adventure and created the most adorable thing ever in TTM. I just happily blasted Pandora for a day while stabbing things with tiny needles. To her creator she must go! To the extent that I decided the other day that if by some freak chance I won, she'd still go to Starblind.

@jaremelz

@jaremelz don't let this happen, the choice is yours!

@KDemo Banana for scale.

@Starblind

@ceagee Okay so, how long has "Banana for scale" been its own meme?

@PocketBrain since last tuesday at 4:39am ;-)

@Thumperchick Ha! Great minds (my similar post is directly below)! I even contemplated the "they said" approach.

@christinewas having been a scapegoat, I can empathize with @mfladd.

@Thumperchick he doth protest to much they said - UGH!

@mfladd, did you realize so many of us would see you in this image?

@christinewas I almost used another south park image, but I knew I would never survive the onslaught (no adding images here - play by the rules.

I wil show you the image over on the FFL thread.

@mfladd LOL yeah, my phantom is still in the unboxing phase. Life keeps rising up and tagging me in the 'nads.

@ceagee

@jaremelz @ceagee How quickly this has turned on me. I didn't see anyone saying put @Starblind in the blender. But it is funny...damn youse!

@mfladd Do I have to start being nice to you in a couple weeks? If so, I need to get this out of my system now!

@jaremelz Naaaaaaaaaaaah! I love you just the way you are - mostly :)

@jaremelz I was asking the same question earlier. He will never truly stop being our goat.

@mfladd - The Goat is a cruel mistress.

@mfladd

@jaremelz I love this. I would vote for it if I could but I have decided to stay out of all voting. I am still thinking about a eastie vs westie mini contest.

@mfladd But I get it, you're too afraid.

@jaremelz see below

@jaremelz Another case of "do as I say, not as I do ?"

@mfladd Just pointing you you can't win with that image. It's not on the approved list

@mfladd

@Moose needs more text

@Lotsofgoats

@sammydog01 Nice Job! easy, right? But you have to use one of the three images above to win Tiny Tub Mummy. You can dooooo it!

@mfladd Dammit, you expect me to read a whole new set of instructions? I'll give it a whack.

@ceagee Better w/ fewer words ?

@ceagee Awww. I like it.

@jaremelz

@thismyusername I need this to win. I love it.

@thismyusername you know you can enter as many times as you like.

@mfladd Well this batch makes 1,650,000. I should win 32.6% of the prizes including the car.

@WTFhqwhgads

@thismyusername well I guess you did buy some votes w/ your campaign post.

@ceagee I would have to disagree. I call it creative thinking. He may have also earned himself a yet unrevealed second place prize!

@mfladd Will there be a prize for trying the hardest ?

@ceagee yup. a giant goat hug! :)

@mfladd

@mfladd

@stardate820926 Haha. Don't let @christinewas take you to the dark path she follows.

@stardate820926 Yes!
@mfladd Dark paths like starting to make memes because some goat told us to? Do you realize how many of these stupid things I've made in the last week... all because of you? I think I've mentioned this before, but this is not the path my life was on.

@christinewas just follow me I want to show you something. ;)

@christinewas My search history was perfectly normal until that goat wandered into its path.

@jaremelz what do you mean. You summoned ME down this path. I am just sharing.

@mfladd It is quite clear to me that @christinewas and I are mere lambs.

@jaremelz sorry, there was just one mistake - you forgot the "S" before the "H"

@jaremelz it's clear to me, too.
Nice try, @mfladd, but she got it right.

@christinewas He must get so tired of hearing that all.the.time. Especially with you in the FF.

@jaremelz, @christinewas, @mfladd - But there's an extra "S" in front of laughter.

@KDemo @jaremelz @christinewas 3 peas in a pod.

YUP!

@jaremelz all the time, indeed. Just wait until the season starts up and his team falls apart. You'll probably find him cowering in a corner.

@mfladd uh... Did you just recruit another person to stand against you?

@christinewas Feel free to use this wherever and whenever necessary

@KDemo Well, welcome to the party! @mfladd apparently felt like @jaremelz and I weren't harassing him enough and he wants you to start tormenting him. It's really quite enjoyable. I'd jump at the invitation, if I were you.

@christinewas OH SHIT!

@christinewas - Consulted with my attorney - I'm contractually obligated to support @mfladd. He has been more than generous with me, but there is nothing that says I can't enjoy your conversation from the outside. Carry on.

@KDemo Don't the guidelines governing treatment of the goat override any contractual obligations? It was at his request, after all. One could easily argue that responding to his invitation is the best way to support him.

@KDemo no matter what your attorney says, you are always allowed to mess with me KD :)

See, @kdemo... @mfladd LOVES it.

@christinewas @mfladd Seriously? Okay, if you'll sign a waiver, I've got a theme song for you. And some cake.

(Jump to 1:20)

@KDemo He just had to go and have one awesome moment and screw up being a goat, didn't he? Granted, it was pre-goatdom, but still. Do you know who I blame?

@KDemo Have it at! I have no fear! (I am stupid like that)

@jaremelz I set it so that image will be posted in our league chat every time mfladd is mentioned.

@christinewas

@jaremelz @christinewas: Okay, team, we have 11 days to get this done.
Or maybe a whole extra month if we are destined to repeat everything?

@KDemo That didn't take long!

@KDemo I'd like to think we are destined to repeat everything.

@christinewas @KDemo I'd like to think we are destined to repeat everything.

@jaremelz are you sure?

@mfladd

@mfladd The woods are lovely, dark and deep,.

@mfladd - I'm so confused!

@jaremelz: Destined to repeat everything?

@jaremelz

@ceagee I'm just the messenger.

@jaremelz take some responsibility dammit!

@mfladd That's your job goat

@ceagee He can't even take blame properly.

@thismyusername maybe? I promised tonight, but maybe not for the results.

@thismyusername ???? You were on double secret probation, didn't you know ?

@mfladd I thought I won for being tagged in original post. Or did I win for not Playing? :)

@sohmageek laugh it up now, GoatBoy!

@mfladd Ya know... I blame you for my beers being empty... Fucking hell I wish I had picked up more of the Lawson's Super Session #2.. I'm hoping it's available next week... I LOVE this beer.

@sohmageek You did win, but your prize was goatdom. It's kind of a booby prize. But you'll rock it!

@jaremelz

@jaremelz he is doing his part to keep us from missing @jont :)

@jaremelz shits and giggles. Do you have anyone in mind for the winner?

@mfladd Hmm, I mean, I might have someone in mind. But I'm afraid of what their prize might contain.

@thismyusername Never trust a goat to do a job.

@jaremelz @thismyusername Never trust a goat. Period.

@christinewas

@jaremelz

@christinewas Aww, look at him, tryin to be all scary.

@jaremelz @christinewas

@mfladd Duck, @christinewas! There is a goat on the loose!

@mfladd so that's how this happened...

@mfladd You know, I just realized if you added up all the stars for all the memes I posted I win. The is the way you were judging this isn't it ?

@ceagee I think he's in denial about the end of his goatdom and just ignoring the results.

@ceagee Ooh. I also did much better when you add them that way. Seems like that should count for something. Participation prize?

@mfladd Aww yisss. So, do I get an extra prize for doing all your work ;)

@mfladd heck yea, my collection continues!

@jaremelz I already paid you! But I will make it special.

@thismyusername You really deserve it after all your campaigning!

@mfladd So I guess it wasn't very wise of me to spend a month torturing the man who would be sending me a 'prize'

@mfladd

@mfladd

re-reading this it didn't make much sense. you know what I meant. Send them.
