I guess I ruined it for you, since the one I posted is pretty much the best one out there
What in the name of the good lord **** is that about? I completely do not get it.

Yes, it makes me think, but I don't know what exactly.

I had no clue about the popularity of memes, or how they were used until I joined MB - and I still have one dumb, fundamental question that perhaps someone will be patient enough to answer:-

How do you find an approriate meme? Because the best ones fit precisely the topic under discussion and the poster's opinion. Is there like a Meme Library where you type in, for example, "Global warming; opponents of; scorn for opponents of" ?
Yeah, you literally type say "Sadness meme" into Google.

No I think it's his missile silos, all ranged to obliterate anyone who dares doubt that Jesus exists.

And that's funny exactly why? And enough with the duh, smartass: it's by no means obvious and I wasn't the only one who didn't get it.

Before you blow a gasket, I'll help you out and tell you that I was being sarcastic with the duh part.

The original comic is only funny in how bad and ham-fisted it is. The meme comes from mocking it.

Oh, ok. I guess. I'm not familiar with the comic, nor that much with memes. Gasket re-attached.

A little late, so I apologize if you figured it out for yourself, but it's from the "funny" gaming webcomic series Ctrl+Alt+Delete that decided to do a serious story arc where the main character's girlfriend has a miscarriage.

Ah, thanks. I just got a basic this-is-what-it-is from Frown, but not the nuts and bolts. Makes a little more sense now.

Also, good to see you back, Pete!
