I'd like help spreading this meme I invented. If that's a proper use of "meme."
If someone asks you how you are, answer:
"I feel great--like I just inherited a volcano!"
If someone asks you what you're doing, answer:
"Oh, just wishing I'd inherit a volcano."
Instead of saying "Have a nice day!" say "Inherit a volcano!"
As you might gather, the meme - which is mine - involves all aspects of volcano inheritance.

I hope that this goes better than the Lampyridae Project. Etna on Sicily is erupting, among others. There is thermal water and obsidian in many places. Who owns all of the magma? I guess some of the particular vents are scenic and/or of historical interest. At Steamboat Hot Springs in Nevada not far from Reno, I mapped up some sulphurous vents for Texaco and Pacific Gas and Electric; they now take water that's pretty hot and add a little heat to get steam for geothermal electricity. The old hot baths were very nice, crude wooden sheds and a $2 bath, companionship extra. One thing sort of peculiar about that area is that hot water is close to the surface, but cold spring water is deep; so, people can get hot mineral water for their swimming pools easily, but cold potable water is 180 feet or more. Good luck with the volcano inheritance meme, and I hope that it involves some hot springs memes.
I wonder if its retroactively possibble to delete a meme from the memo pool through whatever means necessary.
If it were I'd delete the knowledge of Richard Dawkins ever existing.
Personally, I prefer to add the phrase "...in accordance with the prophecy" to the end of the above volcano statements.

I think that they launch countermemes. One friend is in Indonesia now, he has been climbing volcanoes. There is a volcano there called Candi Sucka. In 1883, Krakatau erupted spewing so much dust into the air that it was cooler globally. That year, the farmers in the Northeast US could not grow crops because it was so cold, it was called the year without a summer.
are you, at least in theory, related to Miss Anne Elk?
Yes, Anne Elk and I go way back.
It occurred to me after sending that e-mail to Annna (which wasn't exactly intended for publication) that "winning a volcano" would be a lot pithier than "inheriting" same. I submit this revision for your approval.
The Lampyridae Project is still in the works. Anyone interested in collecting and shipping glow worms (larval fireflies), please contact me.
God kills a kitten. I'm not sure if memes can be willed into popular use. Sorry. There there, my little nigga.
It ain't what you call me but what I answer to
No, inheriting is better. It has all those Object-Oriented undertones. For example, if you inherit a volcano, you can change its eruption method so it spews something instead of lava. Like candy canes. Or black death.

My volcano would spew chicken schnitzels.
(Geez, if someone were to walk in on that one line, they wouldn't know what the hell is goin on...)
And nameless, just so you know, I used to watch Friends, now I hate it.
I just couldn't think of anyone besides Chandler that embodies both of those traits. (Cynicism, sarcasm.)
Anyway, back to schnitzels: Salty, juicy, good for everyone, tender, crunchy, golden-brown and flavoursome,.....ummm....yeah.
Hey, I could market these by writing jingles for the schnitzel people. This would sound great as a showtune.
Someone help me think of the rest?
I like Phoebe because she has a degree in biology and can't possibly be that dumb; none of them can possibly be that dumb and live in NYC, I hate all of them, but Phoebe less and I think that what's-his-name should go ahead and bop Chandler's mom.
Chicken Schnitzel is the food I love
My volcano spews chicken schnitzel
... I will attempt to spread this around my corner of Australia. It seems like a worthwhile cause.
Don't confuse me with that other guy, I only have no name because mozilla keeps eating my cookies.
I'm not confusing you, if that makes you feel better.
and... was the whole idea of mozilla, a dinosaur, eating cookies, a food, intentional? It's so common these days to say a computer "ate" this or that.
Try to blame those stoopid chicken schnitzel songs on me!
