It’s one of the most fave internet memes in Russia. It’s gotten even more popular after the recent kafuffle concerning Repin’s painting. If you don’t believe me, run a Google search on Иван Грозный убивает… всех (you have to do it in Russian for it to work properly). Most of ’em are a hoot-and-a-half, and you’ll laugh your fool head off at some of them (I certainly did). There’ll always be a Russia… thank God for that! Have a smile…

Comments Off on 8 October 2013. Perhaps, the Most Fave Internet Meme in Russia… “Иван Грозный убивает… всех” … “Ivan Grozny Kills… All”
The above images prove that “there’s life in the old dog, yet”. When we retain the ability to laugh at our foibles, we’re healthy. Pass the jug and smile…

My contribution to the “Grumpy Cat” meme… fuggedaboutit!

Here’s the original Grumpy Cat
______________________________
The “Grumpy Сat” won the 17th Annual Webby Awards “Meme of the Year”. The award ceremony took place on 22 May. Internet users favoured Grumpy Cat over the Harlem Shake, Goats Yelling Like Humans, and Gangnam Style by voting on the BuzzFeed website. Tandar Sause, known as Internet sensation Grumpy Cat, became popular after her owner posted her picture on the social news website Reddit and then superimposed with humorous comments. The female cat has a permanently grumpy face due to feline dwarfism and an under bite. She and her brother Pokey were born to normal parents with a flat face, bubble eyes, and a short tail. Ironically, Grumpy Cat is calm and Pokey has a grumpy personality. “The Official Grumpy Cat” on Facebook has over 930,000 Likes. The organisers announced the other Webby winners on 30 April. Such websites as Change.org, Pinterest, Tumblr, Dropbox, and The Onion won multiple awards. A Webby is an award for excellence on the Internet. It began in 1995 and presented annually by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. Categories include websites, interactive advertising, online film and video, and mobile. The award is one of the older internet-oriented awards and is known as “The Oscars of the Internet”.
This is the meme that’s travelled ’round the world. It started off in Spanish… then, went to China… and I saw it on the Russian web (I translated the Russian text). Have a smile… not everything is serious (thank God). Now, where’s that jug?
