When I was in school I joined a theatrical group, and once we did two one act plays by Eugene Ionesco which are thematically connected (both take place in the same family), "Jack, or the Submission" and "The Future Is In Eggs". While the audience gathered we played "Careful with that axe, Eugene" by Pink Floyd, "axe" being a play on words with "eggs". The mad shouting in the song totally fitted the absurd atmosphere in these plays, and Pink Floyd using the name "Eugene" for the title of the song was a gift from heaven.

I was actually quite surprised to see the word "meme" in this context. I had not realized that shift of meaning. But that's what I admire about language - it is constantly changing.

It's alternately fascinating and kind of disappointing how the word "meme" has gone from referring to a self-propagating idea that evolves to just referring to an inside joke that is deliberately altered by the people propagating it. (which is not what Richard Dawkins meant when he coined the term)

Interesting. Keeping in mind that you get scurvy from lack of vitamins maybe that is why Damo Suzuki sings "hey you, you're losing your vitamin c" on "Ege Bamyasi". Wink
