Memes:
- David Rose "Who Am I to Judge" Meme - "One is Schitt's Creek... and that meme has six images of David Rose, who, in some ways really resonates with my spirit. But the text above it says, 'Me: Who am I to judge?' And then... those six images are underneath that. It says 'also me' with various forms of very expressive judgmental faces, whether you're looking at eyes, whether you're looking at the hand gesture, where the hands at, whether you're looking at the forehead... So there's various forms of him...'"
- Dorothy Zbornak's 4 Moods Meme - "The other one I found from a more distant favorite show of mine... that one has my four moods and, of course, it has the images of Dorothy Zbornak. But 1) is I need coffee, 2) is I need a nap, 3) is I need a vacation, and then that 4th image is one that says I need duct tape, a rope and a shovel."
