The Culture of the Internet ... and Free Stuff

The other day I saw a posting that tweaked my curiosity and I thought you'd all enjoy it as well. It was a list of the more common Internet memes - those interesting but pointless tidbits that pass our way periodically - from the past decade or so. Many of them I'd forgotten until the list reminded me of them, but they all represent a shared cultural experience that we've had over the Internet, as well as pointless, but fun, time-wasters.

See how many of these you remember:

• "All your base are belong to us"
  
• Neiman Marcus cookie recipe
  
• 9/11 tourist guy
  
• Bert is evil
  
• Hampster dance
  
• Bill Gates email - forward the message and Bad Billie gives you money
  
• Star Wars kid
  
• LonelyGirl15
  
• 300 page iPhone bill
  
• Dancing baby
  
• Exploding whale
  
• Bus uncle
  
• "I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords"
  

I think you have to be a serious geek to remember all of them. So, in the spirit of geekiness, and recognizing that the uniform of every true geek is jeans and t-shirts, I'll give free t-shirts to anyone who can identify all 13 of them. Post here or email info@carriersedge.com with your details.

Enjoy!
