I now have my bookmark set for my profile

someday all those petes will condense into a nice pete bog, which will, over thousands or possibly millions of years, become coal deposits.

At which point, the cockroaches will use the results to heat their homes.

Now its yoga pant infested, I cant leave it lol

I wasn't invited. I'll have to see what I can come up with.

No invitation needed

Yeah. I didn't know anything about it. I still have to do some classic rocker memes as well as a thanks for participating in old ad week. Also need to see if any ads need upvoted and comments. And I need a nap. I'm old.

I found out last minute on both old singers and yoga pants. I hear you old man lol

The singers one has been in the works for a bit. Do you have Ghost's meme stream for Theme weeks?

The link is on top of his home page

Just wanted to see if you knew about it. I thought you had. We're working on some guidelines that will help sort out some of the theme week stuff. Hopefully set it so that one theme a week runs. Two are okay, but it takes away from those that want to go whole hog. Example, if someone has a theme week during Jingles pulp art week, I'll either not participate, or if I do, combine the two events into a single meme. But most my memes that week will be the pulp art. Old ad week, I think, has been a success, but I think more people would have taken part If they didn't have so many choices.

It was - at least for me - the huge amount of themes to not participate at any of them. I made my own "I do what I want meme week" instead of it. ^^

Oh, that's the theme for the YEAR! I just finished old ad week. I started promoting it two weeks prior, with almost daily promos. I had CousinJohn and DerUbersau promoting as well during that time. Plenty of coverage, right? Apparently not. I saw three other theme weeks pop up. I only took part in the one that didn't realize it. She decided to cut the Monty Python week back to a half week, we ran both on a one day overlap, so I combined the two for some of my memes. I did one yoga pants but have committed to old singers week.

I think you helped a lot of folks make it to page one this week

I wouldn't say helped....but definitely inspired!

Doppelheathen made it to the top of page one. So many people were inspired by your meme that this one didn't even make it to page three. I did spot a nonrelated funny one. RyanMeyer posted he was worried because I haven't passed him yet. On GIFs and memes, we're about eben on daily points. He says o
I'm making him nervous sneaking up behind him. Oh well. I'm in no super hurry. I do know that when I do, we'll swap places back and forth for weeks. I think we'll have fun.

Its also yoga week so things are pretty tough. I think Pete and repeat fever just hit at that right spot between legos and yoga. I stopped counting at 125 but since then I've seen at least another spin offs. You and ryan seem to be having a lot of fun here. I just wish I could spend more time here!

Where I have fun is helping new memers. You saw the critiques in DoppelHeathens meme comments. I go out of my way to be impartial. Most were new accounts, and the one thing I stressed was commenting on others memes. Ben is one with some promise. He already passed me on front page. Must see if I'm still there. LOL.

Yes, I saw all those... and you and ghost seem to be kicking butt organizing theme weeks! Its weird because even though I've only only been here 6 months I still feel like a newbie. Yet newbies are attaching links to THEIR memes in my comments! I'm blessed and overwhelmed!

Thanks for the cudos on the organizing. The biggest problem I've seen is that people will do whatever they want. I don't know how many times I'll see a meme saying it's such and such week. During old ad week, we had Eevee week pop up, Monty Python week, banana week, and yoga pants week. Before I started my theme week, I asked around, was referred to ghost, and put it in. Now I find it's pokemon week. I don't have a problem with the themes, but they pop up with no fanfare, then get support from enough people that it overshadows the week that was promoted. I may back off from doing themes for a while. At least not everyday. I've got actjeme scheduled for the first week in May.

I have not really got caught up in themes myself. I think for each week I might hit one maybe two memes total. Now if we do Hayden week........ :)

You know my cousin, CousinJohn? He's had a theme running through all his memes since he became active here. His first one when he got serious, was a car towing a howitzer. He commented on open carry advocates were getting out of hand. If it's got a car or some transportation, it's likely his. If he takes part in a theme week, there's a car in it.

Or we could do it ourselves. Nah.

Quick question: how well do you understand German? I may have an idea of you for when you get writers block making memes.

Well, as a German ... I might be able to understand a little ... ^^

I thought you were from that neck of the woods, but wasn't sure. :-)

Back in the late 40s and into the 60s, there was a great comic called Lilli. (Google "Bild Lilli") I had a British friend try to translate, but he only was able to do a couple out of the dozen I'd sent him. For some reason, they never made it to the States in translated form. What did make it over here was a version of her doll. Only we call her Barbie. Yes, Lilly was the inspiration for the Barbie doll.

Anyway, if you ever are stuck for a meme idea, you could always post these with an English translation. She's an interesting character and I have an affinity for old comics. You have a super grasp for English, which is a big plus. The few o was able to translate with Google I had to first translate to English, then had to translate it into conversational English.

I just wish they'd translated them long ago.

Like that? ^^

Nice ... in that what I found so far, it seems that she is a prostitute

Gold digger was the term I heard. Slight difference, but in the end, you had loose morals. I look at her as a young woman that did anything she could to survive the war. If you put her age in her early twenties, that would have made her a teen during those years, and one that would do anything necessary to survive. Mistress would be closer. You do have to take into consideration that there were some dates that she barely got away with her honor intact. Amazingly, I don't see anything in what I was able to translate being considered NSFW.

For translating, I'd recommend using the demotivational template. Top line just say "Translation" and secnd line, the caption. Bild missed the boat by not translating and sending to the US for publication. Racy for our daily newspapers, but would hold up well in our magazines like The New Yorker, Esquire, or even Playboy.

Kick me in the ass. I got sidetracked about Lilly's profession and really forgot about your work on the meme. Fantastic. This gag translated well, and the joke is timeless. Ask any man that's waited on a date. Have fun with her.

Thank goodness! BTW, are you or Octavia planning on doing a MLP theme week anytime soon? If so, get it on the meme theme stream so it can be promoted. I'm not a Brony, but I have a lot more respect for the characters now than when my kids were little. I'll get my granddaughter to help me.

The reason: it is not within the scheduled weeks that he planned. I already had a meme on there, but it got deleted by ghostofchurch. I am still hosting it, no matter what ghostofchurch says!

That's because I had put in for a comic book character week May 1 - 7. Ponies welcome. Trippley so if they're taking part in Free Comic Book Day. As for the week, check the schedule and find one that's open that isn't as close to another cartoon event. There's enough pony interest here to generate a decent turnout. Without looking at the calendar, off the top of my head, I'd think the middle of July time frame would do, because you can promote it. With my blessing and cooperation, during CBC Week in May and there's a Female super Hero week in June that would also allow it, as the ponies, at least some, fall into that category. Propose it again for an open week, and say I support you in this. Just like I did with Monty Python Week, I used that to promote Old Ad Week, and I'll use Pokemon Week to promote the upcoming Bob Ross Week.

We're trying to organize it so that we don't have a large number of events going at one time. I know, that seems like a long time away, but look at where CBC Week is and I scheduled that at the first part of this month. I was originally going to do it in June, but researched a little and two real life things occur then: May The Fourth (be with you) and Free Comic Book Day. I have those as Special days during that week.

There's a solution. Working towards a common goal always helps. For now, just think how you can incorporate ponies into other theme weeks. Imagine Applejack meeting Ponetta during Pokemon Week. I have another idea for MLP in Pokemon. Also in Bob Ross Week. The cross overs are endless. Hell, I had Yogi Bear in Yoga Pants and he made it to page two during Yoga Pants Week.

Sorry, I am sad to say, that I already have it ready to go, and I thought another week with two events would be okay, but I chose to start May 3rd, because of my favorite characters birthday on May 3rd, and I got it all ready to go since the beginning of this month. I don't know if I can reschedule it!

Was that the reason ghost gave for it not being a no-go: because there was already a theme scheduled for that week? This is why we're trying to go with the scheduling, to keep themes from having to compete.

MLP posts that week also qualify as Comic Book Character posts, anyway.

I'm real easy to work with. While I wouldn't have wanted the ponies to compete with the Justice League or the Avengers, or any of the other characters, including the manga characters, I would have loved to hear this sooner. I still would have recommended the week be later, I would have embraced a MLP day for your fave pony. If you look at the conversations around that week, you'll see how I embraced it when it was pointed out that May the Fourth fell in the middle. Hell, I could work May 3rd into a successful MLP day without a problem, including getting others involved that may want to use other comic book characters. I've already started promoting, initially by posting my intent on the meme the stream, but also pointing it out in other people's posts.

Theme weeks aren't set up strictly to promote egos, but to help other meme makers get ideas of things to post. Ive had fun being a part of them, and even had a couple of my theme memes make front page.

The choice, of course, is yours. I'd rather work with you than not. Either way, though, on your Pony memes that week, make sure to put Comic Book Week in the tag section. This way, I can see them and upvote them. Thats part of running a successful event; upvoting the memes of everyone that participates, as well as leaving a comment. That's your duty as event host.

I thought long and hard about it. I decided that I will host my meme week when I want it, but I will also promote your meme week, and I thought that comic book week and my little pony week crossovers would work perfectly! I do want to host it, and I may plan other meme weeks better, but the way I have it set up, I do want to do it, and I decided, with a crossover week, that I can do it. Maybe I could do a crossover week as well (or you could do it). It is kind of short notice, because it is around two weeks away, but I will participate in Comic Week, and I will promote it, with my own My Little Pony week. Reminder, it is May 3rd-May 9th, but I will also promote yours, and we can participate and make crossovers. I think we can work together, and we can both have successful meme weeks!
