The meme police
So I combed through the dead memes post, because there's a lot of noise in it, and pulled together a list of agreed-upon dead memes. So, here's what I found, in no particular order:
THE BRENT LILLIBRIDGE MEMORIAL DEAD MEME LIST
That's what she said
Fail
Puking in own mouth
John Olerud sucks
+1 (or the addition/subtraction of any number, relating to a previous comment)
ICHIRO HURTS THIS TEAM BY...
intentionally commenting to test the width limits of the site
Been through the wars
Using the words "Grit" and "Hustle" when referencing Willie Bloomquist
Do. Not. Want.
Seconding something
Too soon?
I fixed your post
You misspelled...
Anagrams
Vidro fat jokes
Any comment ending with !!!11!!!1!ONE or any variant thereof
<insert baseball player here> says hi
Any reference to Sparta
300-character laziness
I think you mean Thompson/Thomsen/whatever
Using a dead meme and then commenting something along the lines "Sorry, dead meme?"
There was also one that was up for debate:
the Underpants Gnomes path to profit (step 1, (some action); step 2, ???; step 3, PROFIT!!!) So, now that the memes that we've all agreed are 'dead' are listed here, it's probably time to start policing them. In one of the threads last week, it was somewhat decided that at first, the use of any of these dead memes will be met with nothing but mockery of the user (memer?); if that mockery doesn't actually stop the meme abuse, then it may be time to move to something more severe, like a kangaroo court of some sort.
It just seemed that with the new season approaching, it was time to cull the field a little bit. New season, new memes, if you will.

Can we kill

yes
Memeplexes are very interesting.
Graham, you need to examine the Mariners roster construction practices through the lens of memeplexes (as an example of an apoptosis-like process, with similar pathologies possibly resulting).
While I'm sure that could be done

As you well know

Are you saying this thread is a study in

Why did the Evergreen student cross the road?

Just don't expect it to go unmocked.
Dead meme:

only if you include either
Was I the only one who pictured
Howdy, neighbors! May I spray you with the hose in a playful fashion?
Uh, spray the boy.
I already used
So if these memes are dead 'round here...
We already mock them plenty

Although we could send them kangaroo court bills...

If they post here, we mock them
That one was deemed OK
Fake Conversations,
Hmm
I also somehow doubt we've seen the end of 'grit' and 'hustle' when it comes to Bloomquist. How many more words can we use to describe him? Bust out the Thesaurus...
Which is the point, really
and that, boys and girls,
Paul, how many autographs on one
So far...

Wait, you forgot one.
Thank you, sir.
How come Shotgun Anus
And I don't think I will ever stop "thats what she said" or "Grit" for willie.
I don't think any of them
Using TWSS after any mention of the word(s) long, hard, ball, hole, stretch, etc isn't automatically funny. You actually have to be, you know, clever about it.
That's my rant on the subject.

"Vidro fat jokes" is a meme?
"Turbo" is a meme. But I'm rather fond of it.
