By My SF Related Memes
There are far too many negative blog posts out there, and my positive drop in the negative ocean isn’t going to cause much of a reaction. Still, I plan to continue writing soft blog messages, or information blogs rather than fall into that negative mindset that attracts a massive traffic funnel, but ends up giving you cancer after 20 years.
I’m aware I’m in the minority, but one of my mantras is, “When you hurt someone else, you hurt yourself,” as I believe we’re all connected in some way.
It doesn’t mean I’m a walk-over. As a teacher, I know that many parts of me still need a few lessons! But I’m unlikely to say something bad about a person, group, race, religion or country, just because everyone else is doing it.
The downside is that it is a huge struggle to find something to say on a blog! I guess I could tell you what I ate this morning. Some rice, and a tin of soy, garlic and ginger flavoured salmon. See you’re falling asleep already! LOL.
And so, without much to say today, and already 3 days late (Google likes a minimum of a daily update to a website to retain a ranking, and a minimum of hourly updates if you want a stab at being on the front page for certain keywords) I thought I’d post some simple SF related memes that I contributed to the site ‘ImgFlip‘ for, hopefully, your enjoyment.
Saw the perfume when doing an ego scan. Not sure why alien perfume came up for my book series Alien Dimensions, but was quite happy to see it. The similarity to Kosh is, I suspect, a ‘coincidence.’ Still, if I ever have cash to throw away, I’d buy it and send it to JMS as a weird thank you present for Babylon 5!
As a vegemite eater of over 40 years I lost count at the amount of people around the world who have tried it and told me it was awful. So, with The Orville being the only comedy science fiction show in 2017 that had someone throwing up, it was ideal for a vegemite related meme.
There was a series of memes where words kind of rhymed with ‘father’ and I was surprised no one had done this one yet. After all, Anakin would have lost a lot more than his hair in that fire.
And, this is my closet. If you look very carefully you’ll see that the two blue ties have Tardis shapes on them! The yellow one has a Sherlock Holmes shape. I can be professional and geeky at the same time!
Imgflip users organised an ‘Aliens Week’ so, of course this was the most logical thing to create, which got a few upvotes.
But this one was more popular. I might turn it into a template later.
Last year I threw this one together. An ‘The Orville’ / ‘Doctor Who’ mashup. Yes, those are actual quotes from that ‘The Orville’ episode. Pretty sure Seth was tapping into Doctor Who fan reaction at the time!
Everyone loves this episode of Star Trek, and with one poster creating memes about his electricity bill using the Picard facepalm meme, I had to add this one to the comments.
And here’s one for Star Trek week:
I don’t have photoshop, but I played around a bit with Photoimpact in 2013 and came up with this. This is the central control console for the inbound wine orders call center that I worked at for a short time, and a few friends who came over to help with redecorating. Ideal to use in the comments when someone else comes up with a photoshopped Doctor combo picture.
And another Doctor Who related meme. This one responding to a user about plants taking over the world.
And one more Doctor Who related meme. Yes, this is the actual scene. Took ages to find it in that Robot episode!
So, there you go. A nothing post with just a few memes that may or may not be humorous. Hopefully I’ll have something a little bit more compelling to talk about next time.
Edit: In the past month this has become one of the most popular posts on my blog. Many thanks to everyone who has visited and hopefully had a laugh. Here’s a new one for you, though it is a bit ImgFlip specific.
and another. My nod to Fringe.
And here are some that are my first attempts at making memes. I think only I find them funny.
