Memes I Like

This will just be a page that will showcase some of the memes I like.

Lou Holtz discussing the importance of the NFL preseason

This is a meme I made. It’s funny for a few different reasons. One, the NFL preseason isn’t important for anyone other than the Coaches and Management. Two, Lou Holtz isn’t the winningest college Football Coach. Three, college football is radically different than professional football in that it’s absurd an NCAA Coach can have any kind of opinion. Fourth, the phrase is hilariously superficial in that it doesn’t provide any kind of insight but at first passing it might make sense.

The image was taken from the 2025 Superbowl commercial with the musical artist Seal as a Seal. The CGI on it is awful (which may have been the point) and just looks odd.

I got into a pretty heated argument with friends of mine who insist that the Blackstone Grill isn’t a Grill. Blackstone is silent on the matter and wants “…you come to your own conclusion on what you should call it.”

But Griddle and Grill share the same etymology and Griddle itself comes from the French word for Grill. So it’s a grill and if you think differently, you’re a neo-Marxist.

Lowes Musings

Was at a big box store over the weekend and found a few things I thought were amusing:

LAMP Stack – Iykyk

Oh, the irony –

This is a stupid selling point –

BUY THESE ROCKS THEY WON’T DECAY!

Though here is the crazy thing, rocks decay (erode) after millions of years.

Phablet

For Valentine’s Day I got the wife a new phone. We had discussed the possibility of her getting an Ipad but the price was a bit steep. I was willing to take the plunge on an Ipad for her (and of course secretly use it when she wasn’t looking).

In the end, the Samsung Note 4 turned out to be a good option that combines the two (phone and tablet) into one device called a Phablet. She also looked at cases for the phablet and it turns out they make cases that resemble books for note. Though you must be a Moby Dick fan as that is what their bookcases come in.

From a historical perspective, I do find it odd that in the recent history of mobile phones, the race was to go from the Gorden Gecko Motorola DynaTAC of the 1980s and make it smaller. The film Zoolander even had a joke about the ever-decreasing size of phones:

Now it appears technology is racing to make the phones bigger.
