Here we go. I've stared a Ghastly's Ghastly Clip Art gallery. I'll be periodically posting blank panels from the comic there that people can use for their own internet meme enjoyment.

Ghastly's Ghastly Clip Art Gallery

Enjoy!

Could somebody please explain to me what assigning some silly caption to a picture has to do with the concept of the meme? Honestly, I see it described as "internet meme" everywhere, but I've never understood the connection to any facet of memetics.

Actually it's the other way around. Assigning a picture to a silly caption instead of a silly caption to a picture and then the concept evolves until it becomes a cultural meme. Like the way "kitten killing" has become a euphamism for masturbation.

Too lazy to do this right now... but that one with freddy pointing at the glory hole is SO a "But Jesus loves the glory!" picture....

And, after a full page of gawd alone knows what... we return to the question:

What the hell is FGSDS/FGSFDS?

Actually, I believe the O RLY / YA RLY / NO WAI! meme started on the Something Awful forums another internet source of scum and villanry.

Ah, so the task it to try to create a meme, then. I think I get it now.

You know, speaking of "kitten killing"; back when I was six, I asked an older neighbor what he meant when he said "beating off". It then went into a strange explanation that involved me pantomiming the act of stabbing a make-believe cat on my lap. The whole experience was so strange to me that it's more of an impression than a memory. I came away still completely unaware about what "beating off" was, but at least I knew how to stab a cat on my lap.

I knew the Kwerki at the projector screen would be a popular clip art. Incidently I've updated the clipart gallery just now, found a CD with some older files on it.

An easier way to do the clipart modification for the projector screen image is to create a new layer and put the image you want over the screen on that layer then select layer to Multiply with 100% opacity. Then the pointer and it's shadow show nicely on the image.

Oh, yeah, I haven't slept in a few days. I hope it's not too obvious. =)

I love the "Surprise Prostate Exam" one.

"Damn! And I didn't study!"

Ok, my turn!

I don't have photoshop, so I couldn't pull that last one off right...

Nay, my friend, /b/ is the CENTER of the internet. All things flow through /b/, and it through them. Wherever there is connection, there is /b/.
