Man, where did the month go? Been a while since the last one of these, so without any further ado....
Gun Memes
The next time someone can’t tell the difference between your pee shooter and your pea shooter:
I’ve been making that joke for years. Finally decided to put it to a picture when the SIG 320 started making the news again. Helps if you mush the pronunciation of SIG-Sauer so that it sounds more like Cigar.
The problem with a railway gun is finding a gun safe big enough to keep it in.
JD Vance Memes
Earlier this month I jumped on the trend, which has been completely replaced already with Ghiblification.
If it seems kind of dumb, you have to go WAY back into meme lore, to this:
Although don’t dig too deep, or you start getting into the whole cosmology of Ceiling Cat vs. Basement Cat being God and Satan....
Musk/Tesla
Elon posted a picture over the shoulder of a Tesla Protester with a “Large Print” listing of anti-Elon chants. Took me a minute or two to slap this together, and about a minute after that to have two fake Elon accounts try to contact me.
This one is a frame from a video where some deranged leftist (but I repeat myself) chased a Tesla for a block pounding on the window, screaming, and giving the driver the finger. When he finally ran out of steam he nearly faceplanted into the back of a police SUV. Ah, that would have been comedy gold if he’d actually crashed.
Go buy a Tesla out of spite.
I don’t know if that’s a wrap or CG....
The “Zero Gravity Indicator” or Test Load in the first StarShip to make it through its test flight was a stuffed Banana. (There was also a graphic on the outside with the dancing Banana from the clip art .gif). As for the song, “Banana Phone”, that’s what kids used to annoy their parents with before Baby Shark came along.
Valentine’s Day
Might be a fun weekend.... It’s just for the weekend, right? Right?
Writing
“Tuckerizing” is when you put your friend’s names into your books, named after an author who was notorious for doing this.
“Redshirting” is deliberately killing someone’s namesake off in your story. It’s named for the countless number of Security team members in red shirts who got killed off on some strange planet in the original Star Trek. It’s not necessarily malicious. There’s a fellow named Joe Buckley who has been killed off in literally dozens of books and short stories. I personally have killed him off one and a half times.
One of the things totally ruining modern fantasy and science fiction is the inelegant injection of current day politics into settings where it would never be a thing.
Good reviews, or 4- or 5-star ratings really really help your favorite writers on Amazon.
More Drake Memes
Kinda self-explanatory. I hope....
From a discussion about the usual video game activists who have no problem with a game that has very explicit gore, but hate attractive female characters in games. Why “booba” instead of “boobs”? It’s a censorship beating term born from a typo that just took on a life of its own. Kinda like the term “pwn” or “pown” used by gamers (To “own” someone is to beat them handily in a multiplayer shooter. Fat-finger the keyboard and you get “pown.”)
Don’t ask me to explain Liberal standards, I’ll end up seeing double.
Wholesome Anime Meme
Yes, they do exist. And I’ll leave it at that until next time.
Sometimes the Sig Sauer is a Sig Sour. Allegedly. /wink /wink.
