"there's always one audience reaction shot at the Oscars that gets memed"
I have far too many images on my phone. Tonight I thought I’d grab a bunch of the memes I’ve been collecting and pass them on.
I don’t remember where all of them came from; some have attributions on them, some don’t. (My apologies to those whose work I’ve got here if I’m not able to give you credit.)
Some of them are serious, some are just funny, some are snark — a mixed bag in other words. I’ve put a few captions on some, but most are self-explanatory. Some of them will probably be familiar. (You may not want to be drinking anything when you see some of these...)
If nothing else, this should be a good test for the maintenance work here at Kos scheduled for tonight. In no particular order:
UPDATE: Digby’s Place has Tom Sullivan with some great meme-worthy cartoons by Mike Luckovich.
