Anarchists catch up with 2008's internet culture.

When it comes to historical events, we're still stuck in 1936, so 2008 for internet culture ain't too bad. Your trolling, on the other hand, is timeless. ;)

yeah the interval between 2008 and early 2011 is hardly longue durée is it. People still regularly quote shit Winston Chirchill jokes....

How many Winston Churchills does it take to change a lightbulb?

Two. One to drunkenly stumble around insulting people and one to take the credit when a Russian actually fixes it.

now THAT! is a winston churchill joke! I was thinking more along the lines of the shit one when he calls a woman ugly when he is wasted....

I think one of these shall become my desktop background

We could have compared this lot with Maus I feel the wording is more Alf Garnet than Emily Brontë.

Possibly the least funniest meme ever.

boris' one or all of them ? they are an acquired taste, but yeah, boris' one didn't get a laugh from me. Ive got the workers state on as my desktop background currently

croyd, it's from dis film

and making white font with a black border is hardest of all, clearly.

what program are people using to make the white font with black border?

the only photo editing programs i have are "paint" and "microsoft office picture manager." as far as i can tell, of these two programs, only "paint" has text, and i couldn't find a way to make the inside color different from the border.

do i need to download something else?

Ultra, FWIW, I've always just used a meme-generator for this sort of thing and have just ended up with whatever font they've given me.

This site seems to do white font with black border:

The Onion comes through with puns FTW:

For you Harrison:

that's awesome, chilli sauce! how'd you change lenin cat into this new design? did you use photoshop or what? you're quite talented! the art is very well done, and i especially like the touch of the suite and tie.

Ultraviolet, you're giving my way too much credit.

Basically, I had problems uploading the image I created using memegenerator for whatever reason, so I just used this template from a different site:

I LOVE HIM SOOOOOOO MUCHA!!! :D 8-)

:rb:

bumping this thread.

The old bolshevik Bonch-Bruyevich wrote a children story about the cat Vaska. Here is a google-translation of it:

"Do you have a cat?" - Vladimir Ilyich asked my daughter Lelyu, walking in the garden of our dacha, where he came to stay with us and rest.

- There is! Vaska. We call him Vasily Ivanovich ... And here it is! - answered

Lyolya, pointing to a big black cat, prettily, slowly coming out of the kitchen.

He was almost all black, with a white tie under his neck, his paws

too, were white, like shoes, and the tip of the tail was also white, like a fluff.

"What an important cat!" exclaimed Vladimir Ilyich. "And probably a big bummer."

- What are you, Vladimir Ilyich, - Lelia stood up for her pet, - he catches mice perfectly.

- Well, it's his direct duty ... Let's see if he can show tricks. And Vladimir Ilyich quickly took the cat in his arms, tickled it under his neck, scratched between his ears, stroked it ... Vaska was very pleased: he immediately began gently biting Vladimir Ilyich for his finger and, lying on his back, tried to fend off his hind legs.

- Look at you, what game! Well, let's see how you can jump, said Vladimir Ilyich. He lowered the cat to the ground and immediately put his hands in front of him with a wheel. "Jump!" Jump! .. Vaska, Vasenka, jump! ..

The cat was taken aback. And Vladimir Ilyich brought his hands closer and closer to the muzzle of Vasily Ivanovich.

- Well, jump! - And he quietly pushed the cat behind and immediately again

put his hands in front of him with a wheel, connected in the fingers.

The cat reluctantly rose, hunched and, as if doing a favor, gently and

He jumped uncomfortably and jumped over the arms of Vladimir Ilyich. Vladimir Ilyich immediately put his hands up again, and Vasenka more quickly and quickly jumped again. And his hands were again in front of him. The cat jumped more and more, faster and faster and, at last, jumped very dexterously, fluffed the tail, started all the way to the house, climbed under the porch and from there

cunningly looked out ...

"Oh, you rogue, you, you robber!" said Vladimir Ilyich. - Tired! Udal! .. Good for you! Well jumped! You'll be an academic ... Lelia, give him milk. He completely deserved a good breakfast.

Lelia ran to the kitchen. Has brought a saucer of warm milk with white

bread and put it near the porch. The cat looked around, went out from under the porch and, purring, began to eat.

- Well done, Vaska! - Vladimir Ilyich praised him. "We'll learn how to jump through a chair with you."

Picture of Lenin's brother (Dmitry Ilyich Ulyanov 1874-1943) with a cat:

Last night on Radio 4 someone told an old Ken Dodd joke:

A fellow ran through a door in the Kremlin and shouted, “Is Len in?”

Well, it made me laugh. Nothing about cats.
