> Entire civilizations of memes flourished and decayed

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US"

I was millimeters away from responding w/ the pure inanity of "So can I. Once, anyway." But, your citation of OG meme-master Shelley inspired me to do better (18th century, and already prognosticating the rise of "CATS" - legend).

I refrained. ;)
