I couldn’t believe this when I saw it in the store today…. they must have been saving these for a while I put this up there with the Alex Rodriguez “Man in the Mirror” photos…. Don’t these guys have handlers to help them from taking photos like this??? They’re in need of some LW Curators to get them out of these messes!!!

Got this originally off of digg.com Have to say, awesome pic and the rest on the Cary Conover site are great too, check them out!  The economy is turning around Grover, just wait it out man, put the bottle down

100 GREATEST HITS OF YOUTUBE IN 4 MINUTES

My conclusions:

1. There are some adorable kids in the world
2. There are also a lot of dumb people who own video cameras

I had a hard time watching this as I’ve drafted Delhomme as my back in a few of my leagues… I hope he bounces back…

“Hey, I know you feel like crap. I mean you’re not a very handsome guy anyways, but the performer, the quarterback? I never really liked you as a quarterback. But as a person, I love you as a person.”

What else can I say… the missing stakes really put it over the top…

Was cleaning out some boxes I had in the house for our garage sale this weekend when I ran into this little piece of history…  Our client Jon Fass of Accelerated Strength fame went to Rutgers along with some of the folks at Local Wisdom.  During that period of our lives, there was a visit by a Penthouse Pet at a local bar, and guess who’s picture got taken for Rutger’s newspaper The Daily Targum….What’s amazing, is the dude still looks the same…must be all that strength training….  so here’s a shout-out to you Jon Fass, when you were just a “Deer Caught in Headlights” as the caption says   You’re all growns up now!

So how do you create something legendary on the web? Its a hard question to answer, but I would say humor, horror, and generally outlandish behavior seems to drive users to pass information quickly. Most of these Internet memes start on a message board or an email. Momentum is not always over night. It can take weeks or months till something catches the eye of the masses. Its pretty fascinating that we have come to a point where anyone of us could have 15 minutes(or more) of fame. Majority of the time we just need a camera and good timing, or some misfortune of being filmed by someone with good timing. Creative ideas seem to make a mark as well as terrible executed ones. So creating a phenomenon its a matter of being genuinely awesome… or terrible. Nobody want to see normal, we want the outrageous.

Greg Rutter has a hilarious list of the 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet. His list has alot of this classics, such as grape stomp woman, Shining,  and Leroy Jenkins. Also, the pork chop sandwiches is pretty classic. Its certainly not a definitive list, but its an easy list to go through.

If timelines are more your thing check out dipity.com’s internet meme time line. All the hilariousness and weirdness of the web is broken into timeline spanning back to the early web with descriptions and video.

You could also check out http://knowyourmeme.com/ which attempts to keep a running database of all web phenomenons.

One of the beautiful things about these memes is they deliver a laugh or entertain us in a small bite size amount. Most of us are on the move and want a quick laugh. Most are less than a minute or two. Its like watching just the best scenes in a movie. Some memes even create more memes. Some of the more outrageous memes have given birth to videos that show peoples reactions to watching the original video. Craziness. But you know what? its funny to watch the reactions. The majority of the web is a solitary experience. We watch these reactions and find humor in relating to other viewers’ first time experiencing it.  Feel free to cleanse your pallet on some cuteness.  I know I had to after watching this… man I wonder if they are friends still hah

I swear this only happened to me at my first job
