 That phrase, discovered by Stal, has "internet meme" written all over it. So what sort of meme-style pictures can you come up with for it? The mission is to spread it throughout the internet and turn it into the next big meme.  Full story, and a bunch of amusing pictures, can be found here.My favorite picture so far:  |

If we're going to be spreading memes, I also recommend "Because autsim, you know, is a lot like Darfur" and "TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN CANNOT SAVE US NOW!"
Stories behind each can be provided if necessary.
>_>
Tuomas Holopainen cannot save us now because autism, you know, is a lot like Darfur-- *brick'd*

Okay then. XD
The first one comes from a guy on MySpace who wrote a poorly informed public awareness blog on austism. It's since been deleted, but it was basically about three to four pages of incomprehensible ramblings about how terrible autism is, including a hyperbolic comparison to how autism was like Darfur. It's mostly endemic to the autism community (every once and a while you'll see an autism activist sarcastically say 'Yeah, because autism, you know, is a lot like Darfur' in response to a pro-cure person) but it's so utterly hilarious that I feel the need to spread it.
TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN CANNOT SAVE US NOW comes from a rather bizarre Chatzy conversation; I believe it was posted in Things People Say. It's now used (by me, at least) to indicate something terrible/terribly awesome.
Actually, if someone could direct me towards a free photo editing software, I could probably make a TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN CANNOT SAVE US NOW image macro. I've got some workable pictures. I'm not as sure for what to do with a "Because autism..." macro as much. Take weird pictures of myself looking vaguely horrified and add captions? XD;;;
I could do an Epic Equipment Please Do Not Use one as well. >w> After a bit of fiddling around with the program, as it were. And then add it as an avatar or sig, thus spreading the meme to ToSF. ^_^b

XDDDD Nice stories.
Oh yeah, I think I remember the second one on TPS.
^_^ Well, even though it's free, MS Paint would help with some of it. If you want to be a wonderful meme-spreader for Epic Equipment too, there are a bunch of pictures you can grab off of the original thread.

By buying a laptop with stripped-down programs so I don't have to pay as much?

Smart. I should've done that. My laptop came with a disc for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Elements... neither of which will install the program they're labeled for.

Xic if you have a Windows 2000 or above you can download a very nice art program called GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Project) for free here. I made the One Ring with it. ^^ |

So if your One Ring picture turns evil, we shall have to throw it in the fires of GIMP to destroy it?
