Beat me to it, shiny happy person!

That song used to be my ringtone. Then my phone went off a few times while we (myself, the wife and our kids) were at the store and my kids started singing it. Figured it was time for a new one at that point.

Just went and looked at the "memes" section on wikipedia.

I think I remember who's responsible for all of them.

SWMBO was reading a book the other day and one of the author's last names was Berk. She couldn't figure out why I found that hilarious.
