A Clip Show in List Form

While one could argue about the definition of "meme" and whether it can be applied to a small social group as opposed to a group of hundred or thousands of people, you can't deny that said small social group will have plenty of in-jokes and repeated phrases that would have been defined as memes had they been spread through a larger group of people that understood them.

What better way to commemorate the fact that by the end of the year, everyone we met at Uni probably won't be there anymore than by creating a list of all our in-jokes that we had over those wonderful yet stress filled years. Here then, in no particular order except the one I remembered them in, is a bunch of stuff that you've probably erased from your memory (or weren't ever there for):

-- "Yeeeees."
-- A certain someone's ink factory. (You know who you are.)
-- ReefMaster and the Bucket of Slops. (It almost sounds like a Harry Potter rip-off.)
-- Art Day.
-- Horrible puns.
-- The Brennan Room tables.
-- Poking people in the ribcage. (Boy, did Facebook ruin the whole idea of poking someone.)
-- Sausage rat.
-- Dew-sease.
-- OxMan (and eventually the OxMan code, which as far as I know was never cracked).
-- Dodgy pasta.
-- The Outbreak of Sadness
-- Half Past Dead. (Which I eventually reviewed, many years later.)
-- Maitland and Maitland Mall.
-- Whenever Eurovision comes up, DANCING.

No doubt I've forgotten many more. That's what comments are for.
