Giving you the backstory and appraisals of vintage memes!
Submissions should be vintage memes or commentary about vintage memes. Commenters are advised to appraise the internet value and provenance meme antiquities.
Rules:
Got a rum bucket at a local bar ony 21st bday and they let me keep it because I asked nicely. My mom took it inside when we got back home and I forgot about it until like 2 hours later and sent this meme to almost everyone I knew because I wanted to know where the fuck my bucket was.
where did she put your bucket?!?
how dare she. i am offended on your behalf
Vintage meme of the I can haz cheeseburger era. 🍷

Slightly older, even: While Happy Cat was around earlier, (according to KYM, at least) its caption "I Can Has Cheezburger" (and the website named after it) didn't happen until 2007.
Meanwhile, (repost of my comment from a thread in this community last year):
The so-called lolrus was actually a southern elephant seal named Minazo. He was born in Uruguay, but spent most of his life in Japan where, measuring 4.5 meters long and weighing around two tons, he was said to be the largest seal in the country. Minazo died in October 2005 at the age of 11, and made his meme debut posthumously in June 2006 on YTMND. To this day Wikipedia considers him "one of the most famous southern elephant seals". Merzbow released a two-volume album (1, 2) in his memory.
i earnestly thought about going antique antique (kilroys are fun) but text memes are real old.
Respec for mah Elephant Seal homie.
are you respeccing from or to elephant seal homie because it's a real fun class
This might be the first meme I ever saw on the internet.
Aw, you're making me blush. I'm glad today you got a happy 10,000
edit holy hell that's a smudge on my glasses i'm leaving my misreading. I'm glad i could remind you of your first meme.
I’m just gonna block all other communities on the fediverse and stay in the beautiful meme bubble here
ok grandpa, let's get you to bed
Classy stuff!
In the kitchen sink. My drunk ass was too wasted to use any critical thinking and I was just D I S T R A U G H T over that damn bucket. My mom gave it back to me and I took it to bed and slept with it by my pillow like a weirdo.
no, in bed by the pillow is an appropriate place for the rum bucket. that's where i'd put it now, my wife would understand. did it have a lid or was it more like a little rum barrel or pony keg, but with a handle
It was like a lil beach sand bucket, but smaller and had a list of rum flavors on it. It is big enough to serve 6-8 folks but I downed the whole thing myself.
i am so proud of you, for surviving.
Thank you so much. It was one of theost harrowing experiences of my life.
