Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh!
When I thought I was safe from holiday memes being blasted in my direction, this monstrosity assaulted my screen!
๐Meme: Before 2โฃ0โฃ1โฃ7โฃEnds,
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: That's when I got this particular meme, but I'm pretty sure 2017 is not the last year it circulated, and probably wasn't the first either...
๐Meme: Let Me Thank All The Good People Like U๐, Who Made 2017 Beautiful For Me.
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Ugh! Why, oh, why do people think this stuff is so incredibly great? Seriously, I know my friend didn't actually create this. For one thing, people who send this tripe along don't generally bother themselves with actually writing anything this long. What this amounts to is a friend got hit in the heart with a meme and just HAD TO SHARE! Argh! Thanks for making the end of the year just a little less beautiful with this meme!
๐Meme: I Pray that U B Blessed With a Faithful Year ahead
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Aaaaaaagh! Don't bring prayer and blessing into this! It's a meme. A chain letter. It's a friendfomercial, it's spam dressed up in warm fuzzies, and it is not having a good effect on me.
๐Meme: I Wish U A
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Yeah right, you wish this meme would spread, which, it has. But I won't help your wish come true. You already imposed your wish on me and I don't appreciate it.
๐Meme: ๐นJovial JANUARY๐น
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Oh wow, a jovial January filled with - virtual roses? Golly gee, thanks.
๐Meme: ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Holy mackerel! Virtual sunrises and shooting stars and mountains!
How about some actual conversation instead?
๐Meme: ๐Fabulous FEBRUARY๐บ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Huh? I think we just went from virtual Canada to virtual tropics. A real conversation would be much more fabulous.
๐Meme: ๐พ ๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: What? Virtual Asia?
๐Meme: ๐พMarvelous MARCH๐ด
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Okay, I get it, you'll keep doing this sort of drollery for every month and showing off how many of these silly emoji thingies you can just splat throughout this whole thing. So far you've turned jovial, fabulous and marvellous, into junky, fake, mushy.
๐Meme: ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Oh boy, no kidding on the mushy bit.
๐Meme: ๐ธAwesome APRIL๐ป
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: You just made it less awesome.
๐Meme: โจโจโจโจ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: I prefer real hot springs.
๐Meme: ๐Meaningful MAY๐ท
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Ack! The cheesiness. I can feel my brain melting.
๐Meme: ๐๐๐ท๐๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: This...Is...Killing...Me...
๐Meme: ๐Joyous JUNE๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Uh, what? Is that's a four-leaf clover, it should've been put into the March section. You also had the holding hands thing in March, which you probably could've put back in February. I mean, do I have to explain what months popular holidays are in?
๐Meme: ๐๐๐๐๏ฟฝ๐๐พ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Wow, such creativity...
๐Meme: ๐นJubilant JULY๐ป
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Yuck.
๐Meme: ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐๏ฟฝ๐๐พ๐ฏ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Mind if I don't clap along with you?
๐Meme: ๐Amazing AUGUST๐ด
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Ugh. Only four more to go.
๐Meme: ๐๐พ๐ ๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: I don't know what to make of this. I really don't.
๐Meme: ๐Successful September๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Yeah, I generally wish for success year round, but at least you got the emoji right for the time of year this time.
๐Meme: ๐โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐๐โจ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Huh? From a present, to an airplane, to cars, to hot springs. what the heck? I'll take my less chaotic real September over your helter-skelter virtual one any time.
๐Meme: ๐พOptimistic OCTOBER๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Memes don't make me optimistic.
๐Meme: ๐ป ๐ ๐ก
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: A garden and sunflowers in October? Not likely.
๐Meme: ๐ปNuturing NOVEMBER๐พ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: 'Nuturing'? Well, whatever that is, I'll try to steer clear of it.
๐Meme: ๐Divine DECEMBER.๐ท
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Yeah, but memes can't make that happen.
๐Meme:๐โช๐๐๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: The church makes sense. But the flowers? Where's the snow? Where are the bells? You know, all the Christmasy stuff.
๐Meme: ๐Have A VICTORIOUS YEAR!๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: You know what part of victorious is? Mangling memes like this one. Still want me to be victorious?
๐Meme: โจHope I'm the 1st Person To Wish U A Happy 12 Months Of 2018๐๐๐๐พ๐
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: *Sigh* Who cares about being first to wish somebody anything? Please. That's childish competitiveness... First, second, last, whatever, a good wish for any year only means anything if it's personally written out by a friend. This re-shared schlock is not it.
๐Meme: Send ๐ these ๐ smiles ๐ to ๐ anyone ๐ who ๐ made ๐ you ๐ smile ๐ somewhere ๐ sometime ๐ in ๐ your ๐ life๐ It ๐ may ๐ surprise ๐ you ๐ but ๐ check ๐ out ๐ how ๐ many ๐ come ๐ back ๐ Thanks ๐ a ๐ lot ๐ for ๐ making ๐ me ๐ smile ๐ ๐ ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๏ฟฝ
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: No! You have not made me smile. No, I am not interested in making you smile. No, I will not risk irritating anyone else by sending them this chain letter! No, I am not interested in finding out how many people will "smile" over this stupid thing, nor do I believe it actually makes everybody smile, and I'm living proof of that. So make like a tree and leave.
๐Meme: ๐keep smiling for 2018.....
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: You just lost me a bunch of smiles already with this chain letter! I only smile when people write their own stuff, and whatever they see fit to share is not some viral gunk.
๐Meme: God bless.
๐งโโ๏ธOcean Elf: Knock it off!
I don't reward meme-reshares with responses pretending to be delighted with them.
I have generally been forced into shutting up because people get their feelings uber hurt when these crappy re-shares aren't appreciated. So if all of a sudden "friends" and contacts and others eventually realize I no longer write them, and wonder if I've stopped reading them, the answer is that if I have, it's more than likely because they keep re-sharing memes. These gushy friendship type ones really get on my nerves. They're so fake and impersonal.
If you want to wish me a happy new year, then take the time and make the effort to write me a personal note! You won't see me smiling, but I do. Personal notes are such treasures among all the re-shared junk that keeps going around.
Over and out!
