MooPig Department of MEME's Report :: Best Memes Of 2012

Snagged by Pat Darnell and the Herd  |  Dec 30, 2012  |  Bryan TX


If you are looking for an analysis of MEME's that were most popular last year, well, MooPig Department of MEME has no such statement. In fact we are just catching on to the whole idea. This coming to light by way of one of our editor's sixteen year old son's habit of resolving issues through MEME's.

MEME's are not very well defined, but they are like "Google images." You can page through them for hours and giggle. How any one Meme migrates to a billion views, again that is mysterious. It is not Darwinian, nor Freudian, and plainly not stereotypical.

As a teaching tool, if teachers could harness the MEME, and not be the subject of one their selves, one could influence the minds of millions.

Of course it will eventually have to become an advertising tool, and that will pay someone's bills. At present it is in its peak of creepy, clandestine, surreal Internet stuff for your viewing pleasure. It is a mind map of some degree of alpha wave secularism.

What, me worry?

Best Memes Of 2012 - Business Insider: "As the only YouTube video to ever reach 1 billion views, Psy's "Gangnam Style" is easily the best meme of 2012. Everyone learned how to do the "Gangnam Style" dance and it became a football celebration."

Here are the top MEME's for the year; if you can put them in a category... good luck with that:

Call Me Maybe

McKayla Maroney is not impressed

Grumpy Cat

Ridiculously Photogenic Guy

"Gangnam Style became a global hit, despite its language barrier, mainly because of the music video, particularly the horse dance and the dress code that hardly need a lot of explanation," Know Your Meme editor Brad Kim tells us.

MooPig ReRun -- "My Bucket List Revisited"

Raquel Then and Now
Rerun by Pat Darnell  |  Mar 3, 2012  |  Bryan TX

[Picture LINK]  {---Picture : ...and last but not least MooPig's gratuitous sexist unrelated non-sequitor style is still part of the Bucket list... to one day have a last waltz with Raquel even at age 67}

My Bucket List Revisited

As I get game and gamier, I sense the last tri-mester of my days is one that should be a revisionary era punctuated with symbolic experiences. FAQ: No. There is no terminal illness to prompt this, but the following is:

Pat Darnell's Unofficial Bucket List [though having not seen the movie yet]...
* UPDATE: * Yes, we saw the movie yesterday on DVD, and we wept!

I would like to perform an Exorcism. I want one of those exorcism gap-wrenches that Keanu Reeves has in the movie Constantine. He jumps on the torso of the victimized possessed person, and pulls out a set of coin-like chads on a key ring, makes a guess and plants the disc on the forehead of the writhing demon. That's what I'm talking about, grotesque parody.

Making a movie is one of my bucket list items. Directing, editing, and producing a flick would make my life complete.

Playing music with my kids is a major dream activity of mine. Having a jam session with my clan delights me to no end. Still, it is very hard to get all my players going in the same direction, much less having them all show up at the same time.

I would like to fall into a deep sleep and have a woman made from one of my ribs. Not for a wife or anything, just the thought of it seems likeable to me. You see it would be an exhiliarating feat. We have the technology now, probably in the near future. As the genome is further understood, things like this will happen.

I would like to have lunch with Padre Pio, though he is passed on.

To finish my manuscript finally is a major desire. Then I would like to write the sequel to "Young Frankenstein," maybe treat it like "Older Frankenstein."

One cross-country trip on I-10 with wife and last two kids, is a very attractive idea.

Bulletin: Shooting black and white negative film, processing it and burning photos is always on my mind. Last time I did this was back in the '70s' in the photo labs at college.

Teach oil on canvas to children: give lessons that take them from raw canvas to finished painting.


Entering the Grand Canyon at one end and hiking all the way to the other, is a fantasy I have.


At least one family reunion of all the kids and us. CHECK: Daniel and Megan's Wedding October 1st, 2011... Yay!


I would like to house a horse again, not a fancy one, just one to ride and show kids how horse sense is still the best sense. [Thanks again to Pribek.net for reminding me of "40 acres and a mule."]

Crunk President [Part One of Forty-two] :: Buzzwords and TLA's

Defiant or just Defiled?
Retrieved HEREby Pat Darnell with Barry O and the Knuckle-Benders

Someone once said:

...I'll never forget in high school, when a friend of mine proudly proclaimed he had started a new job. "I'm a fuel transference technician", he boasted. "What is that?" everyone asked with a puzzled expression. "I pump gas." Amazingly, our daily lives as architects and developers are riddled with similar technology colloquialisms. (SOURCE)"

Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo, Barry, is it Really, Really True?
:: War of the CEO's :::: Or, Cecadas climbing out of the ground Three Years Early :::: Or, CEO beat down all the way back to Jewelry Pawn Broker :::: Attritional Nightmares ::

Introduction of Part ONE -- This quoted article below, retrieved in its entireity, sets the mood for MooPig's urgent vivesectioning today's coporate businesses... climate changes within micro management is on hold while the C-classes hash out their compensations... or caps on incomes. Unless MooPig is reading signs wrongly, signs like crying, whining and diving into the Hudson, -- the top CEO knuckleheads of knuckle inbred industries are knuckling down and running with scarred knuckles dragging the ground.

It is unconfirmed at this hour, but could very well be true, Corporate Exec's are running the Bulls, only the bulls today are Bears; Shareholders are giving exiting top Management and entering Straw Men knuckle-sandwiches. Besides, we didn't know all this was going on; so maybe you don't either... so let us take a white knuckles ride together and learn something about our Crunk Prezident Barry. [pd]

After a combined total of more than 30 years in the consulting industry, they now bring their accumulated wisdom to business professionals in various industries.

Getting along with people sometimes requires speaking their language, especially in the workplace. One of the ways employees try to emphasize their smartness is with specialized vocabulary.

Due to the nature of a lot of people's work, technical language and terminology is often necessary, but buzzwords can make you sound pretentious. On the other hand, if you are working on a team full of buzzword-addicted co-workers, you'll need to fit in. Learning and properly using the latest buzzwords and TLAs ( three-letter abbreviations) can help you create high-bandwidth communication with your colleagues.

Here are 12 of today's hottest quasi-serious workplace phrases:

Boil the ocean
Definition: The scope is too big to do in one project. Break it up into more than one. We often hear, "We're not trying to boil the ocean here..." when the client is trying to keep costs down and avoid an overly ambitious project scope.

Drink the Kool-Aid
Definition: To enthusiastically perform a task or follow a leader without knowing how this may affect you or to buy the "company line" without question. In business, you may hear someone say, "He drank the Kool-Aid," when he means, "He has been thoroughly trained in the program and we have his unconditional support," or "He is on board with our strategy."

In political commentary, it is used to imply that people who disagree with you have been brainwashed or are under the influence of drugs.

Going native
Definition: This is what happens when a consultant stops acting like a consultant and starts thinking he is part of the client organization. If you aren't willing to go somewhere else, go ahead and apply for a permanent job.

You aren't providing the same value you were in the beginning.

Greenfield instance
Definition: Clean, new installation of an application without customizations, configuration or data. When a brand-new application is installed, it is a "greenfield instance" until the consultants and programmers go in and start messing it up with configurations and code changes.

Holistic
Definition: A big-picture view or a solution that includes upstream and downstream impacts. Whatever it means, it's a great consulting word and we use it a lot.

Paradigm
Definition: The perspective or view you have of a situation. For example, "When ownership of our order fulfillment project moved from operations to sales, it caused a paradigm shift that resulted in a whole new project strategy and approach."

Running in parallel
Definition: Processing normal operating data through two systems simultaneously to compare performance and output. When a client is feeling particularly paranoid about a new system that his consultants have developed or implemented, even after exhaustive testing and training, we will sometimes recommend running the new system in parallel with the old for a short period.

Straw man
Definition: First draft of a solution or proposal intended to provoke discussion. It is an object, document, person or argument that temporarily stands in for and is intended to be "knocked down" by something more substantial.

Talking to the dog
Definition: Thinking it through by talking it through out loud. You'll often hear engineers and programmers say that they finally solved a problem by talking to the dog.

Use case
Definition: A particular circumstance or situation in which the solution would be used. For example, when designing a system, the engineer will refer to all the use cases that have been documented to determine if his solution would be effective in each situation.

White paper
Definition: An authoritative report or guide published to share technical or business information, particularly related to solving common problems. Writing white papers is a great way for consultants to get exposure in their industry and develop a reputation for expertise.

Wireframe
Definition: Simple pictures that show a proposed user interface, often used by business analysts to communicate expectations to users and developers.
