Bernie Sander's big mittens crocheted doll has now raised over $40,000 U.S. What came to mind with those mittens and jacket were how 'outdated'v they looked at the Inauguration. Could the Bernie Sander's mittens meme ever become outdated? Here's what happens to out-of-date memes:They become Memeries.
I wondered about our society's approach to things that become outdated. There's not that much written on this. We seem to be busy in the present and the future. There are answers such as "8 signs your website is out of date." Another is "What's the best term for referring to old people." And "When will my gadget become obsolete?" Aren't these a funny collection of answers. There are a few jokes about outdated:
My girlfriend left me because I'm outdated. Now I'm listening to the cassette tape I made for her while crying into my typewriter.
My daughter made a giant pair of shears from outdated computer parts in art class at school She called it “Cutting hedge technology”
Fred and Barney are standing next to the jukebox. Barney says, "Hey, Fred, what do you want to listen to? *Rock* music?"
Fred replies, "You know, Barney, just because we live in the stone age doesn't mean all your puns have to be rock-based. Besides, I have a very eclectic taste in music which better suites my personality."
Barney retorts, "Well gee, Fred, I wouldn't think any band would play music as tacky and outdated as your personality."
Fred rebutted enthusiastically, "Well yeah, but ABBA do!!!"
Our first picture is motion blur today: I was a bit lazy yesterday and sat in the office taking pictures of the large Maple and the falling snow through the window.
The second is multiple exposures - taken along Moyer Road - near Vineland Estates.
