One of the fun things about blogging (and also often annoying) are the never-ending memes (”meemz”). The term “meme” applies to many types of cultural and social phenomena that start small and wind up gaining traction, quickly becoming passed through social circles and “exploding” in popularity. Internet memes are catch-phrases, pictures, quizzes, and such that spread quickly among bloggers, often with each blogger adding their own spin or opinion. Here’s an example of a quiz meme that I found over at Jen’s place; all you have to do follow the directions for each of the examples to come up with some “new” names for yourself:
1. SPY NAME: (middle name + current street):
Andrew Delmar
2. MOVIE STAR NAME: (grandfather/mother + your favorite candy):
Irving Whopper
3. GAMER TAG: (favorite color + favorite animal):
Black Goose
4. SOAP OPERA NAME: (middle name + birthplace):
Andrew Phoenix
5. PORN STAR NAME: (first pet + street you grew up on):
Dutchie Easthaven
6. SUPERHERO NAME: (”The”, favorite color, car your dad drives):
The Black Grand Marquis
7. ACTION HERO NAME: (name of character in last film you watched, last food you ate):
Bill Croissanwhich
What can I say? I just came from Burger King, and it was either Bill (from Kill Bill) Croissanwhich, or Bill Cini-Mini.
