The Meemoo: a sordid past, a promising future

Experiments on meemoos gone awry...a rye...why not a pumpernickel?!?


Earlier this week, research into the innerworkings of the meemoo reached a fevered pitch, and then, almost as quickly, subsided into utter chaos. The meemoo in question, Subject 23-A, was subjected to a rigorous set of tests, the least of which included forcing him to jump through a ring of fire. All was going well, according to lead researcher Freud Von Gushimie, until the meemoo was forced to slip on a banana peel over and over again in front of a studio audience in order to "affect hilarity." "All was proceeding as planned, until the third or fourth trip, when the meemoo seemed to lose control and broke free from his contraints", Gushimie explains. "He went on a rampage, pulling members of the studio audience into the walls, and even some of the lighting equipment", an onlooker reported. "I have never seen anger like that, or pure carnage, and I never wish to again", Gushimie added. Who knew that perhaps the meemoo's worst enemy is antiquated situational comedy relying on nonsensical, repetitive motions? Check please.

Meemoos adopt dated colloquial greeting!!!


The field of meemology was stunned once again today when a field scientist caught this intriguing photo of meemoos who appeared to be "high fiveing". The veteran photographer, Jasper von Humperdink, stated " I had never seen anything like it, meemoos, real wide-eyed bushy-tailed meemoos, swapping high-fives like it was going out of style." Well, for us humans, "high-fiving" may very well have gone out of style several years ago. However, it appears the meemoo is just catching on. Dated or not, meemoos have discovered a whole new way to say hello to close friends and family, and maybe, just maybe, a whole new way of life.

Meemoo loses tooth...field of Meemology turned on head!


Meemoos have never been terribly particular about what, or who, they pull into the walls. But today, they may have to rethink that old axiom "meemoos don't live in glass walls so it doesn't matter if they throw stones, or pull stones in and eat them in there." Rudolph Van-Trump, a noteable innovator of the field, has said for years that the axiom is entirely too long. Although his idea has only been scoffed at, often the punchline of many a Meemologist's joke, his peers are taking a new look at his research. "He may really have something here", says veteran researcher Fran Skupperning.
At approximately 5:37 this morning, a woodland meemoo, pictured above, attemped to pull a muffin into a wall and consume it. He got much more than we bargained for, including a locked jaw, a missing tooth, and a dentist's bill in excess of 325 dollars. The muffin was reputed to be over 5 years old, and as hard as a cement block. The dentist would not take my phone calls, but a close friend informs me that the dentist is in fact quite concerned about payment. When questioned about money, the meemoo wrote an IOU for the aforementioned amount on the back of a cereal box and fled back into the walls from whence it had come. Meemoos have no pertinent concept of currency, seeing as they steal everything that they can manage to pull into a wall. If a meemoo was given money, or came upon it, they would most likely chew and swallow it. This is in fact led to the Great Paper Money Caper of 1923.
It is said that "a meemoo is judged by the sheer amount of things he/she pulls into a wall and eats in that wall, not on the strength of their character." With the number of stale cupcakes on the rise, they may need to rethink that old axiom as well.
