And yet, in a moment of satori, or at least a close approximation of it
caused by insomnia and an aching knee from a bicycling wipeout, the
pipsqueak white light spoke to me and said- 'To a life without memes!'

Hmmm.

I would like to stay in bed a little longer....

Then again, what man can know his own memes? So far, I have considered it
the height of self-aggrandizing drivel when I hear the claim that someone
does.

Or is it just the knowledge that there might be some in there
somewhere....? That seems a bit of posturing as well, since no-one can
find them.

One man's meme is another man's rationale. Round for the house.
