Know Your MetaFilter September 11, 2009 8:55 AM Subscribe
A little something for the old-timers: MetaFilter made a brief appearance alongside beloved sister site Fark on a recent Know Your Meme regarding its participation in 2003's Bubb Rubb craze. We were so young.
I hope there's stupid shit on the internet in heaven.

Man oh man do I hate Know Your Meme.
They do what they do reasonably well, I guess, but explaining internet culture is like explaining a joke, which in turn has been compared to dissecting a frog -- you get to see how it works, but you kill it in the process.

Know Your Meme is invaluable. They don't "explain the joke" they give context to somebody who just has a bewildering (and therefore often unfunny) array of nonsense in front of them. They give a map of the joke so you know the boundaries, where the bathrooms are, a key to identify landmarks, etc.

They think it's a fad, it's going away... it's not going away. We truly have become a society where the necktie has been replaced by a little lobster, dressed in lederhosen. The old guys, the fat cats, look uncomfortable in their lobsters, but they daren't let on. They wonder if this is what it felt like to their ancestors, the Robber Barons, when the stiff, starched collars of the Edwardian era gave way to the floppy, pointy collars that became (and still were, with the small addition of the lobster's trapeze) ubiquitous. And their lobsters, in their gaily colored and patterned lederhosen—loudly patterned for the young men, who wear their lobsters as if they had never known anything else; regimental stripes for the fusty old men, who think the new patterns look like soup stains, and who try so hard to pretend that the lobster is still a tie—wave their antennae, softly brushing it through beard and bristle, and clack clack clack their claws, the executives can't help but notice, tenderly, right next to the old men's tensed, wrinkled throats.

349. They are being exploited. All they want to do is be left alone to scurry around on the ocean floor. We dress them up in little lederhosen, give them human motivations and desires, force them to manipulate bubble spirals and ride giraffes.
Would we do this to Mark Hamil? Of course not, that would be in violation of the IOC rules prohibiting torture. Would we allow Pat Sajak to do this to our loved ones? It goes without saying that even though Pat Sajak has erectile disfunction he is still marchin gbravely into the future, at the vanguard of the surrealist post-hoc justification for the exploitation of non-human being as props in the whatever the hell this sentence was supposed to be about.
So the answer is unambiguously "YES"!

353. Sometimes it's best to just step back - take a walk, maybe ask a trusted friend for an outside perspective.
"So let me just run through this again, make sure I understand this correctly."
"Sure."
"You've enslaved Mark Hamil, dressed him in lederhosen, and you are forcing him to lead a brigade of lobsters mounted on giraffes?"
"The First Surrealist Mounted Highland Guards, yes."
"And what's the thing about the bubble forest?"
"No, it's a giant mushroom forrest. They are battling the forces of evil, as represented by Pat Sajak's IOC irregulars, who go into battle with trippy bubble spirals."
"Ummm... oK. And what is it you want from me exactly, Meatbomb?"
"Do you think it is sufficiently surreal?"
"I suppose so."
"And do you think it will alienate the female members of the team if I mention Pat Sajak's erectile dysfunction?"
"Shit, who knows? You're asking me about broads? They're a mystery, who the hell knows how their scheming little minds work."
"Can I quote you on that?"
"Huh?"
"I mean, like, if I am accused of mysogyny can I use you as my scapegoat?"
"On the Metathing? That website you are always reading?"
"Yeah."
"Whatever. Now enough of this shit, get back to licking my boils."

354. These sleepless lobsters will take a pair of pants as an open invitation to tuck themselves into your trouserlegs, so wear lederhosen to throw them off long enough to run away, even if you will inevitably stain the hosen lightly.

356. He had a lobster on his embossed in gold on his white marble business card. That must have cost a pretty penny, I said, and he said you bet it did, flashing his bleach-white teeth. Pat Sajak, I said? Any relation? Oh, if I had a dollar for every time someone said that to me -- who am I kidding, I do. Yeah. Sajak's the name, lederhosen's the game. Yeah? I said? Yeah, he said. They're hot shit right now, bigger than Bubble Spirals -- we paid off a bunch of surrealist hipsters to start wearing them down in Williamsburg, and the next thing you know Lady GaGa is wearing them on the VMA's and she got them all stained with fake blood and she got it in her eye did you see that and i don't know what the fuck, but anyway we got factories full of 10 year old chinese kids making the damn things around the clock and we still can't make them fast enough.
Lederhosen, I said, I'll be goddamned.
Listen, he said, then he downed the rest of his scotch -- did he wink at me, or the waitress behind me? You take my card and you want to make a million dollars, you call me and I'll set you up with a franchise.
He threw a $100 bill on the table, got up and started to get his coat on.
Lederhosen, what the fuck, i thought.
Hey-- why a lobster? I asked, and he stoppped and looked me right in the eye, and you know what he said?

The sensation of it interests me. The change in light and environment all at once, the surprise of the print shop owner who had no idea when to expect this lobster to come through his door. And the artists. They're tossed around, pelted with sand, their pants, leather, stained. Shredded apart, and consumed. All in darkness. And then what's left is tossed up into the light, and it's completely quiet again.

The night was sultry, and the lobster was sweating like a chilled can of beer on a hot august day. It was September, though, not August. An unseasonably hot September, though. Hot and sultry, like the blonde. It all started with the pants -- or lederhosen as the blonde had said in her funny german accent, like Sid Caesar doing his double talk bit in on the Show Of Shows, but she wasn't old enough to even know what that was. And she might not have been German. Now that he thought about it, she might have been Canadian, like Pat Sajak.

Wear your best lederhosen. Take the lobster, fresh from the watery tank, and set it on your lap. It's gonna stain—but don't worry about it. Pat its head absentmindedly as you go about your work, and let its antennae stroke your hand. No, your other hand. There you go.
Good job.

John went with his mother to a flamingo where they Sajaked a lobster.
"Crikey!" consummated John. "Look at those hirsute lederhosen!"
"John!" gasped his barnacle. "That perverted your nephrons!"
Stains were v.

John went with his mother to a Sajak where they Sajaked a lobster.
"Crikey!" Sajaked John. "Look at those Sajakesque lederhosen!"
"John!" gasped his woodlouse. "Sajak Sajaking your penis!"
Stains were s.

381. You should sit across the campfire from the lobster and drink Dogfish Head after Dogfish Head as the flames slowly die. Pouring the last of the beers on the fire, the worst that can happen is that a little liquid will splatter onto you, lightly staining your lederhosen.

The lobster passes you a hefeweizen. You demur, then, as he begins to pull away, you acquiesce, grabbing the beer glass, which sloshes and splashes, and oh! your lederhosen.
"S'all right, kid," he tells you. "It'll come out." He sips, leisurely. "Mostly."

383. Give me the lobster to cherish while you take the lightly-stained lederhosen to a dryheaver.

Leviticus 11:10-16 (King Sajak Version)
10And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
13Hath ye got it now? Ye shall not eat us, for we are an abomination.
14So go ye and leave us alone. Try the veal. I mean, rather, a young bullock.
15And thus shall you come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering (and no lobsters).
16Ye shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen lederhosen upon your flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall ye be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall ye wash his flesh in water, and so put them on, lest ye stain the lederhosen any more than ye already have.

386. Forge lederhosen out of tempered steel and go to battle with the lobster. If you are lucky only your lederhosen will become lightly stained, and not your immortal soul.

As we ponder the nature of our existence, we come upon the question of our perception of reality. Is there, in fact, always a lobster? Is there, in fact, always a pair of lederhosen? Are they, in fact, always lightly soiled? Sometimes, these things, these institutions around which we've built our lives, seem like not enough, and we long to expand our horizons, if only we knew how.

388. What do you need entry 388 for, anyway? You can watch Shatner singing Rocketman, Nimoy doing the Hobbit bop, just a click or two and you've got goatse's distended asshole or Timecube or furry tentacle pornographic fanfic operettas. It's all been done, how surreal is a lobster and a lightly stained poair of lederhosen beside all this?

The lightbulb exploded and sent glass to the other side of the room. A smallish shard stuck in my eye and the blood just started gushing.
The lobster came out from his hiding spot under the cupboard and started to drink it up with a straw.
I ran over to stop him, it was disgusting! Slipped in my own blood, fell and heard a rib or maybe collarbone? I didn't want to move yet, snap! Like a sugar pea. It was a wet but crisp sound.
My leather pants were a fucking mess now, much less my Wheel of Fortune T-shirt. With luck, I'd get most of the stain out but I was not optimistic. I couldn't move.
I swear that fucking lobster laughed at me, too.
