I wonder if this
suggests another variety of meme; that is, a meme that prepares the host
for impending transmission of a meme-complex?

Celine

List,

What Celine has noted (preparing the host for impending transmission of a
meme-complex) I relegate to the second life-cycle of a meme. That is, I
call the meme-complex the meme proper, and the arrangement which rearranges
the host the "viral" stage.

To avoid confusion, I am agreeing with Celine. Though, I am wondering if
Celine has noted the "My God" complex in only one of it's various
configurations (If Celine has envisioned the viral form and not the meme
itself).
