Happy Kobe day.

You implying Harambe can't change the world?

Harambe is not a meme

Please stop talking about Harambe, the grieving period is not yet over and you are making it hard to forget him

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Trae Crowder: "Liberal Redneck" is my man.

His videos are harder to find than they should be, I think that there are people working against him to make them scarce.

He has a couple of dozen of them, shoot me a PM and I will send you a nearly-complete list.

I literally just found out about the Harambe meme 2 days ago. I knew the story but didn't know the name. My nephew, that is in college, was talking about it and I had to ask..

Agreed. Listening to people chanting "****s out for Harambe" over and over again is just moronic.

*slow claps steps out of the shadows   

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable
material... But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member
of the Ruseman's Corps? Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out
there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme. And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says
it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest ****post copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit or 4chan. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean
the one you just lost :). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some **** that a million different Johnny No-
Names will attach a milion different captions to. Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive. See you on the boards...

Interesting, thanks! The only thing I remember about TN's nature is that it has a vast number of tree species.
