Congrats Dale. You’re officially internet famous 
what is a meme?
Meme: an information pattern, held in an individual’s memory, which is capable of being copied to another individual’s memory.
Memetics: the theoretical and empirical science that studies the replication, spread and evolution of memes
There are lot’s of great Web sites devoted to memes and memetics:
http://www.memecentral.com/
http://jom-emit.cfpm.org/
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/memes.html
…and books:
Brodie, Richard. Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme (Integral Press, 1996).
Blackmore, Susan. The Meme Machine (Oxford, 1999).
Dawkins, Richard. The Selfish Gene, New Edition (Oxford University Press, 1989). Brilliant explanation of the selfish-gene concept. The first book to describe the concept of the meme.
It’s a really facinating (but obvious after you think about it) idea!
Organized religions are probably the most pervasive examples of memes.

Derfinintion found in Google search:
“Memes are contagious ideas, all competing for a share of our mind in a kind of Darwinian selection. As memes evolve, they become better and better at distracting and diverting us from whatever we’d really like to be doing with our lives. They are a kind of Drug of the Mind. Confused? Blame it on memes.”
Highlight added. Definitely fits C&F
Thank you. I’ve heard the term, and that’s what I guessed it meant…but it’s not on Dictionary.com! You think they’d keep up with that sort of thing.
Oh, you mean WhOA! 
Spending time researching, buying and selling whistles instead of actually playing them. :roll:
Stacey’s a meme? 
I am the meme your mother warned you about.
I don’t know about Stacey, but her Fipple Whistle Rack sure is!!! 
Can mimes be or use memes?
MarkB
Of course not.
The late Red Skelton is the obvious exception.
and a momo is…?
Missouri Monster. Unlike bigfoot, who’s from Colorado or Washington state or somwhere.
Can a meme be a momo in a mumu…and would it mew or moo? A mime would neither mew nor moo being mute. (so the question is moot.)
Hey, my grandmother was a meme- at least that’s what we called her. My meme never wore a mumu, although she did wear the “housedress” things.
All the Best,
Tom
You would appear to have too much time on your hands, Emm…
I like the memetics concept. There’s a lot of stuff codified in the theory that I’ve been seeing though a glass darkly, as it were, for a few years, now. Not that I’ve improved myself for it.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste; by extension, a waste is a terrible thing to mind. Too late for me.
you think that took time Chuck?
