Meme Alert: Gillespie Says No

Nick Gillespie | 6.29.2012 1:23 PM

More signs of the apocalypse (the most recent previously being a reality TV show featuring retired Gen. Wesley Clark and Todd Palin): I have apparently become a meme. The picture is a cap from my appearance last week on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, where I had fun sparring with the host, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, billionaire press magnate Mort Zuckerman, and actor Mark Ruffalo. (Watch the show.)

There's about 55 different takes on "Gillespie Says No" over at Meme Generator. Join in the fun there or over at the Reason Facebook page.

But TomKat has ended. Let this be a lesson to Brad and Angelina. If the sex is good, don't marry.

  You're implying TomKat had sex??

    Give Holmes some credit. Her tits are perky enough; they should have stiffened Cruise's wrinkled-old cock at least ONCE in the last 5 and a half years.

      I'm thinking Kristen's referring to the rumor referenced here.
    2. JeremyR 13 years ago
      
      But I don't think Tom is into that sort of thing. Once she stopped looking girlish and more like a woman, that's probably when he lost interest...

    Sure they did. Now, whether it was with each other is another matter.

I have apparently become a meme.

It's The Zacket. It was always The Jacket.
1. Paul. 13 years ago
  
  The Zacket? I like that. Nick doesn't wear a jacket, he wears a "Zacket". Because words with Zs sound cooler.
  1. Mad Scientist 13 years ago
    
    Yeah, I was bitten by RCz law or Joez law whichever law that is. On the other hand, a Zacket wearer sounds like someone who also sports a long, twisty mustache.
    1. Joe M 13 years ago
      
      Sounds more like Seuss' law.

What is the wiretap thing on drudge right now? The Roll Call site where the article is has crashed.
1. Paul. 13 years ago
  
  It didn't crash John. Think about it.
  1. John 13 years ago
    
    If liberals are DNS it, it must be a pretty big deal.
2. sarcasmic 13 years ago
  
  Worked for me. Took a while, but it worked.
  1. John 13 years ago
    
    I found it on a different site. It pretty much ends any idea that they didn't know and want the guns to go to Mexico. Yeah, the worst is true.

  When The Jacket appears, it's like rays of the sun beaming forth.
  
  In fact, you really shouldn't stare directly into the jacket.
  
  You know what else you shouldn't stare directly into?

  In that great Spielberg movie 1942, or was it 1941, that flag would make Belushi angry on sight. It may have something to do with Gillespie having Belushi's angry face in the picture.

He has taken a lot of teasing about the leather jacket (I have been one of the perpetrators, I confess), but I'm glad he didn't get rid of it.
1. Zeb 13 years ago
  
  It's not teasing. It is genuine admiration. Of the jacket.

Jingles 13 years ago

I think this is the screencap that I posted in the Real Time reaction thread. I feel kind of honored...
1. Jingles 13 years ago
  
  On the other hand, I'm kind of disgusted too. Reddit memes are possibly the lowest form of humor.
joshua corning 13 years ago

More Green jobs or More Defense spending?

My work also filtered the meme site as Tasteless...

I don't like that my web-filter can judge me.
1. Pagan Priestess 13 years ago
  
  It pretty much is the low point of your life when you are othered by a web filter.

Am I the only person who thinks most of the "Meme Generator" stuff is unfunny?

Just like Lolcats in that regard.
1. Mad Scientist 13 years ago
  
  No, you're definitely not the only one. That junk has ruined failblog.
  1. joshua corning 13 years ago
    
    We did not get a Friday funny today...
